•The Phantom•
*************************************************

"It'll be fine" JJ spoke from the backseat trying to reassure the pair of us sat in the front, I nodded biting the skin of my bottom lip, looking out of the window, my leg bouncing in anticipation, which had set of Kiara who was farting her eyes around, and JJ sat in the back seat messing with the key on a neck chain, "It'll be fine with the Phantom, she'll get out of here quick."

"Woah Woah Woah" I spoke up near cutting him off as the sound of sirens blared, four police four by fours drove past, as the three of us sort of ducked down, "They're still looking.... that's a good sign, right?"

"S'a sign he's not been snatched, yeah" Kie replied as we neared the old barn, the place where we used to hide out to drink when JJ's dad went missing for days.

********

"There she be," JJ spoke up as we walked into the barn, the 'glorious' speed boat sat on a tow stand, "Hey, girl. A 1983 Formula 402 SR1. The Phantom"

"Sick" I smirked walking over and pulling myself onto it, as JJ pulled off a cover.

"The first boat to make the run to Bermuda in under 16 hours, Guys. Forty years old! Forty. And still, the fastest thing that Kildare's ever seen"

"It's kind of a junker" Kie spoke honestly as I sat down on one of the seats looking through the blue-tinted windows, the boat rocking slightly as I moved on it due to the unsteadiness of the tow bar.

"Really? She's right there, Kie." JJ whispered motioning his head towards the boat, I let a small smile cross my face as I walked over and leaned on the side resting my palms on the material, "She can hear you. Let's just put it this way. You would not be smokin' weed right now if she never existed, okay?"

"I think she's awesome" I nodded before jumping down and walking around to help attach the bar to Kiara's car.

"Right? Thank you, Cody, she is awesome!" JJ smiled pointing to me before grabbing a spanner to tighten the bolt, "She's faster than any cutters in blue got"

"Pope! Finally" Kie cheered slightly as the sound of tires screeching could be heard outside, she got up and jogged over to the back door.

"I'll get in and reverse it, you attach it?" I asked JJ before walking over to the drivers' side.

"Yeah, gotcha" He nodded but the sound of Rafe Cameron's voice made me stop dead in my tracks, anger bubbling inside of me, as I turned around and stepped away from the car.

"Hey, there. What's goin' on? JJ? How you guys doin'?"

"Whoo-hoo" Another voice came from behind me as Kiara backed up and ran back over to JJ and me. I looked around already finding the safest escape route, and the nearest weapon, mapping out the plan in my mind, "Well, well..."

JJ went to step forward only Barry raised his gun to him, cocking it. My heart felt like it was in my throat as I watched him hold JJ at gunpoint.

"See, don't think I forgot about me and you on the side of the road," He told us, I tilted my head to the side slightly looking down at the crowbar to my left on a small crate, "I'm here because I want my motherfuckin' money"
