Obscurity (2) - JJ Maybank

THE GOLD PT III.

"Hey, guys!" Aria exclaimed as she walked into the wreck meeting the rest of the Pogues. 

"Finally, we were beginning to think you were out somewhere mackin on a dude," Kie joked. 

"Oh no, I was, I stole fifty bucks from him before coming here," Aria told truthfully then pulled out a fifty-dollar note from her pocket. JJ looked down to his lap and Pope saw so he changed the subject. 

"Alright now that we are all here, let's talk about John B and Sarah," To this JJ immediately sparked up. 

"I never doubted them," JJ laughed. Kie started to walk outside the wreck, Aria followed here then Pope behind then JJ. 

"I owe you five bucks," Kie responded happily. 

"Wait, you bet on them?" Aria giggled. 

"Hey Kiara, I do need those setups done by five!" Mrs Carrera yelled to her daughter. 

"There are other people that work here," Kie replied not wanting to actually do her job. 

"But, ain't none of 'em my children," Mrs Carrera shouted back. 

"I feel that. On a deep, emotional level, I understand that," Pope told. 

"So we going to the Bahamas or what?" JJ asked. 

"No, are you stupid, of course not," Aria shrugged. 

"Dude, there's no way we're getting to the Bahamas," Pope answered. 

"John B's gonna get nabbed sooner or later," Kie responded. "So if we're gonna clear his name, we need to have done it, like, yesterday."

"I'll tell you how we do it," JJ spoke. 

"Oh, this is gonna be good," Aria whispered to Pope and Kie since she was sitting in between them. 

"So you have it all planned out?" Pope said in the same tone as Aria. 

"As a matter of fact, I do," JJ started to pace but stopped right in front of Pope. Aria raised an eyebrow at the boy. "We kidnap Rafe," 

"I'm sorry, what?" Pope asked in disbelief. Aria laughed under her breath. 

"We kidnap Rafe, tie him up and stick the gun in his mouth and just wait till he starts squawking," JJ used two fingers like a gun. 

"Did he get dumber while I was away?" Aria asked Pope amused by the situation. 

"You know, torture's a war crime," Kie shrugged not agreeing with his suggestion. 

"So, let me get this straight 'cause it's all a little fuzzy right now," Aria cleared her voice. "You wanna get rid of JB's felony by doing another felony to which the whole situation replays over and over again." 

"Yeah, I thought it was a good idea," JJ told. 

"Yeah, so how exactly do you plan on clearing John B's name from a prison cell? Because that's a felony, as Ari told you," Pope asked annoyed by the blond boy in front of him. 

"All right, well, what do you got, Pope?" JJ spoke defensively. "I just trying to keep it simple. You know, one-stop, and we're done." 

"Guys, all we need is a material witness. We saw Ward's plane fly right over our heads with the gold inside of it. He didn't fly it. If somebody else flew, they were there on the tarmac. They saw Peterkin get murdered," Pope explained. 

"So all we need is the pilot?" Aria questioned. 

"Yeah, exactly. We just have to find whoever that was and get them to confess on record," Pope finished.
