"John B, what are we doing at the police station?" JJ asks worriedly.
"Somebody's gotta tell them what happened," he replies with a shaky breath.
After a few seconds of silence, Pope breaks out into a coughing fit.
"Ooh.. easy there chief," JJ says, patting Pope on the back.
"Damn, I didn't know he smoked grass." Lio chuckles and takes a hit from the blunt being held between Pope's fingers.
"Alright, I'm just gonna be real with you right now..." JJ sighs, "you might end up in the lion's den, but you don't go there on purpose. It's fundamental. Just like my old man always told me, you should never ever trust cops. no matter what the circumstance is."
"Your old man's an abusive liar..." Kie scoffs.
"Watch your mouth, bitch," Lio snaps back.
"I agree with JJ," Pope states. "Fuck the police."
"And that's where I disagree," Lioana sighs, rubbing her head.
"Yea, you goin' to the dark side now?" Kie narks.
"When's the last time the police helped us?" Pope asks.
"Peterkin looked out for me, alright?" John B says, lowering his voice, "or tried to, at least."
"Did you all forget that she's helped not only me but John B, too, with DCS? If it weren't for her, I'd be on the mainland and so would JB."
"They need to know," John B nods at Lioana for backing him up.
John B closes the car door behind him, leaving the rest in silence. Lio anxiously taps her thumb on her thigh, thinking about what's to come. More running and hiding from DCS? What about the kid she keeps remembering?
After only a few minutes, the door to the police station kicks open.
"Kie! Start the car!" John B yells. "Start the car, Kie!"
"What?" Kie asks in confusion as the car door flies open.
"Go! Go!"
"John B? What did you do?!"
"Just start the fucking car you idiot, ask questions later!" Lio yells over everyone's commotion.
