Storm Chaser // JJ Maybank

We head to Tannyhill. We get out of the van and peek over the wall.

"He's got the truck,"JJ says.

John B shushes him. "Stay low, stay low, stay low."

We watch the truck pull up in front of the house and Rafe get out.

"How much do you wanna bet Rafe has the cross inside that truck right now?" Pope says.

Rafe heads into the house.

"There's only one way to find out," Sarah tells us.

She goes to walk away but John B stops her. "Hey, hey. Wait."

"What?" Sarah asks.

"Look, before you volunteer on this death mission, I need to know a couple things," John B says.

"'Death mission,' that sounds familiar," Sarah remarks.

"Okay, look, Sarah, I just have questions," John B tells her.

"About what?" Sarah asks.

"Us," John B tells her.

"Us?" Sarah questions.

"Yeah, Sarah, come on," John B says.

"You wanna talk about us right now?" Sarah asks.

"Yes. I... I... I'm sorry, okay?" John B tells her. "I'm... I'm sorry. And... and I should have said it sooner." John B pulls something out of his pocket. "I want you to have this back. Will you take it?"

Sarah looks at John B for a moment before pulling him in for a kiss. "Does that answer your question?"

"Yeah," John B tells her.

"And yeah, I want this back," Sarah says before walking off towards her house.

"Okay. Be safe," John B tells her.

"Hey! Do you want me to perform your vows while you're at it?" Pope teases.

"Did you say 'be safe'?" JJ taunts.

"Christ, could you take any longer?" I tease.

"I said 'be safe.'" John B tells us.

Sarah steps up to look in the truck.

"What's she doing?" Pope asks.

Sarah turns to use and holds her arms out. She doesn't seem to know what to do. "I don't know what to do. I need the keys."

"Come back," John B tells her.

"I'm going inside. I'll be fine. I'll be fine," Sarah tells us before walking in the front door.

"No. No. Don't go inside!" Pope says.

I turn to John B. "You said don't go in the house?"

"I told her!" John B assures.

"Do the birdcall!" John B tells him.

John B tries to imitate the birdcall but it isn't very good.

"What? That's not what a bird sounds like," Pope tells him.

John B tries again.

"Was that a dying chicken?" JJ asks.

"It's not... It's a whistle," Pope tells John B.

"I'm going over," John B says.

As we get halfway over the wall a man in a golf cart drives towards us. "Uh, excuse me. Can I help ya?" He laughs as he cocks his gun. "I got double-aught bucks in this thing, so, uh, I can't miss. All right there, buddy, off the wall." We hop down off the wall and hold our hands up. "That's it. Yeah."
