"Does Rafe know you came here?" Kie asked as her and Lila walked side by side, Pope and JJ catching up to them.
Lila pulled her sunglasses off and pushed them up on her head, "No, I didn't tell him."
"Planning on it?" JJ asked, kicking the back of her knee as she stumbled a bit.
"I don't think it's smart right now. I just- I know how I'll get and I really don't want anything to get in my way of helping John B and Sarah first." Lila said honestly with a minor squint from the sun, "Plus, I don't want to fall back to like how I was during summer. I wanna be better now."
"You will be." Pope smiled as her.
"Kiara, I need those setups done by five!" Kie's mom called from inside the restaurant, looking through the screen. Lila gave a hesitant wave but got nothing in return.
"Your parents still don't like me?" the blonde questioned.
"Don't take it personal." Kie mumbled to her before looking her moms way, "There are other people that work here."
"But ain't non of em my children!" she called back as the four sat done on the docks with a sigh. JJ saw Lila shift awkward when she sat down, making sure to not hunch over.
"I feel that. On a deep, emotional level, understand that." Pope agreed with Kie's moms words.
"So we going to the Bahamas of what?" JJ spoke up in questioning.
"Did you know there's a ghost by the name Blackbeard in the Bahamas? People claim go see him all the time." Lila hummed as she crossed her legs under her, "We should definitely go to the Bahamas."
"There's no way we're getting to the bahamas." Pope shook his head as he looked at the pair.
"John B's gonna get nabbed sooner or later. So if we're gonna clear his name, we need to have done it yesterday." Kie spoke up as she looked at each of them with a similar expression.
JJ stood up, "I'll tell you how we do it."
"So you have it all planned out?" Pope asked in disbelief.
"As a matter of fact, I do." JJ hummed as he spun around to them, "We kidnap Rafe."
"Not gonna work. I tried to lock him in my closet once so I could search for spirits in his house and he broke out." Lila shook her head with a sigh at the memory, "Plus what happened to our plan on Rafe not knowing i'm here yet?"
"You hide." JJ hummed.
"I'm sorry, what?" Pope asked in disbelief.
"We kidnap Rafe, tie him up and stick a gun in his mouth and just wait till he starts squawking." JJ pointed out, making a gun with his hands, "Everyone agree?"
Lila shook his head, "I could try and talk to him if you guys think that'll do anything."
