"Don't let it get to your head, three of them and three of us, they're rich, they probably paid for karate." JJ said. They were now in Heywards seafood shop.
"Typical Kook shit right there." Brielle said as she juggled oranges.
"Hell yeah it is." Kiara scoffed.
"What was your thought process, using your head?" JJ asked, referring to when Pope head butted Kelce.
"I don't know man. Acted off instinct." Pope replied. "Blame Brielle, she always head butts people."
"Don't blame me, I do it when I can't use my hands." Brielle said defending herself.
"True, and besides I was a cornered animal." Pope replied, making Kiara chuckle.
"Your nose looks pretty messed up." JJ mumbled lightly touching Brielle's nose.
"I'll be fine. Topper and Kelce punched me a lot, I'll heal." Brielle assured smiling.
"Hey, Pope, someone here to see you." Heyward said walking in the store with Shoupe, the cop.
"Uh, evening, officer." Pope stammered.
"I have an arrest warrant for felony destruction of property." Shoupe said holding handcuffs.
"What?" Heyward asked.
"Hands where I can see them." Shoupe continued ignoring Heyward. "Young lady, out of my way." He said slightly moving Kiara. Pope looked at the Pogues with a scared look on his face that completely broke Brielle's heart, the way he looked.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, Shoupe, what'd he do?" Heyward said.
"Look at the warrant." Shoupe replied looking at the piece of paper he set on the counter.
"Y-you're arresting him?" The Pogues asked.
"You're just gonna arrest my boy?" Heyward asked angry.
"Be careful!" Brielle exclaimed as Shoupe moved Pope aggressively.
"Shoupe, you listening to me?" Heyward asked in a raised tone.
"...you say can and will be used against you in the court of law." Shoupe continued over the voices protesting against him. "You have the right to an attorney."
"How much did they pay you, man?!" JJ asked.
"You can't just take him! Where's the evidence?!" Brielle said as they all started to follow Shoupe out of the store with Pope.
Shoupe shoved JJ off of him as they walked out to the car, still ignoring all the voices yelling at him. Heyward grabbed JJ by the shoulders pulling him back before something happened that he would regret, and Kiara and Brielle continued yelling at him.
Just as Shoupe opened the door and was going to place Pope inside, a voice piped up behind everyone. "It wasn't him!" JJ yelled, making everyone look back at him. "It was me. He tried to talk me out of it, but I was mad because he'd just been beaten up. I was so sick of those assholes from Figure Eight that I lost my shit. I cant let you take the blame for something that I did. You've got too much to lose."
"JJ, what are you doing?" Pope asked in disbelief as Brielle and Kiara watched in shock, tearing up.
"I'm tellin the truth." JJ replied. "For once in my goddamn life, I'm gonna tell the truth. Hey, I took his old mans boat, too."
"What the hell?" Heyward asked.
"JJ come on-"
"Just shut up, Pope!" JJ snapped. "Just shut up." Then he looked at Shoupe. "He's a good kid. You know where I'm from."
