ivy watched as pope took off in a full sprint away from kie's car, throwing the door open and running alongside him herself.

'pope! v!' jj yelled. 'what're you doing!'

'we gotta know where they're meeting!' pope yelled back.

'we're going after them, right?' jj asked, pulling open the drivers side door.

'yep!' kie yelled. 'go!'

'you can't leave the car there!'

'sorry!' kie yelled towards one of the workers.

'move it!'

'we'll get it later!' jj yelled.

as jj ran a few feet ahead of kiara, he saw ivy disappear around the corner of a larger house. 'v! v wait!'

'pope, v!' kie yelled.

pope and ivy both jumped over a fence, running through a yard with an underground pool, two girls and two boys inside.

'yo pope!' one of the girls yelled.

'hey ivy!' another yelled.

'hey!' the two huffed, ivy turning around to see pope trip over the seesaw of a child's swing set.

'no. no no no no no!' pope yelled, running his hands along the grass until he picked up both the airpods, returning them to his ears.

'come on, come on, can you hear anything!' ivy asked.

'sean, ah, this is where you like, you kook!' jj yelled. 'god damn.'

ivy and pope slowly brought their heads up, their eyes setting on gavins car which was only 20 feet away from them, ivy watching as he slowly pulled away.

'what the hell happened.' ivy said.

pope turned to her, his eyes wide.

'pope?' ivy asked again.

ivy felt a hand on her back, looking back to see kiara and jj both out of breath, latching onto herself and pope.

'what, what does that mean?' kie asked.

'did you hear something?' jj asked.

'he's- he's meeting ward right now. we gotta go.' pope huffed. 'come on, come on!'

'ok, ok, we're going!' ivy yelled.

'wait where is this happening?' jj asked.

'construction site near the surf shop.' pope replied.

'shit, kie's car, guys move your legs faster!' ivy yelled.

'so sorry not all of us were on the track team!' jj huffed behind her.

ivy stepped up onto a crate that lay at the bottom of a fence, peeking up over the top of it with kie, pope, and jj.

'nice camera. where'd you dig up that relic?' jj asked. 'why don't you just use your phone.'

'well, first of all, i like my antique electronics. second of all, this is a telephoto. it allows me to get a close image from far away.' pope replied.

'lord of the dorks.' kie rolled her eyes.

'for definitive proof of witness layoff, we're gonna need quality glass.' pope said, his voice a little bit louder for it to be heard over the storm above. 'there he is!'
