JJ, Pope, and Kiara made their way out of the Wreck later that same day.

"So, we going to the Bahamas or what?" the blond haired boy inquires.

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

"John B will get nabbed sooner or later. So if we're gonna clear his name, we need to have done it like yesterday" Kiara states, looking at both boys.

With Sarah in the Bahamas on the run with John B, and Attie eight hours away in Charleston she was the last girl standing.

Two of the other female Pogues were not here right now so she needed to step up.

She was calling the shots now.

The crusade was suspended for the time being, with three out of the six team members being MIA it was up to the trio to clear John B's name.

"I tell you what we do" JJ says getting up.

"—So you have it all planned out?" Pope asks.

"As a matter of fact, I do. We kidnap Rafe" JJ says.

Pope and Kiara's eyes instantly go wide.

"I'm sorry, what?" Pope questions.

"We kidnap Rafe, tie him up and stick a gun in his mouth and just wait till he starts squawking" JJ finishes.

Kiara rolls her eyes at this plan.

"You know, touture's a war crime" she says flatly.

She never really realized how much she actually needed Atlas.

She had to take care of and make sure these two idiots didn't make any dumb decisions.

It was hard being the glue that basically kept this crew alive and still fighting.

Especially since she wasn't even mentally okay.

She had been fighting with her parents more and smoking a lot more weed than usual.

She was so torn over John B and Sarah's death (before she found out they were alive) that she started going off the rails a bit.

Things with Pope were rocky to say the least.

She didn't know what she wanted.

She felt bad for leading him on and building him up into thinking she was into him but couldn't help but feel more than alone.

She missed Attie.

It wasn't the same talking to her on FaceTime.

She missed her hugs and the way she'd give her warm smiles.

She missed her best friend in general.

She just couldn't open up to the guys the way she'd open up to Attie.

She was still just trying to figure everything out but also trying to stay strong for the Pogues.

But like Attie said "Crying won't fix anything".

Attie, like John B, was a natural born leader.

She always knew how to keep everyone's head screwed on tight.

And keep everyone from freaking out when things are going to shit.

She admired her for that.

"Okay, well what do you have, Pope? 'Cause I was just trying to keep it simple. You know, one stop, and we're done" JJ mutters.

"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 says.
