The Wire Tickle.

(A/N: PART 40 OMG!! JEISHSHJS 🥺✨❤️😄😁 Hey im back from my sleepover :) we sat in hammocks and set fires and watched the shooting stars it was great ANYWAY here is the next part :3)

In North Carolina (my British dumbass thought Carolina and California were the same place) JJ Pope and Kie had decided that Kie would 'tickle the wire' of the pilot.
"Why does she get to tickle." JJ protested as he sat in the car with the pair- still third wheeling. The crickets argued in agreement with him in the reeds surrounding the black car.
"She's the best." Pope said back bluntly. Trust him to tell everyone Kie was the best. He was trying to suppress that crush but so far- failing.
"Should I do an accent." Kie asked.
Pope raised his eyebrows as he forgot to tell her this pretty important part of the plan, "Oh yes, definitely disguise your voice."
"Deescuise my voiyce like how? Whot would yoou like me too doo?" Kie said in a bad British accent.
"Not like that." JJ shook his head at the awful impression. He had this cute naïve look on his face that could make even the coldest of hearts melt.
"Batman." Pope suggested, jokingly.
"Batman." Kie crocked in a deep husky voice. It wasn't too bad.
"There you go." JJ grinned to himself in the back of the car.
"Spot on, let's go."

The pilots phone buzzed on his wooden table next to photos of his family, flashing 'unknown caller' at the top of the screen. He slipped his chipped nails under the phone case and levied it up, looking at the screen with suspicion. Behind him stood his wife in the kitchen, cleaning up the dinner he had just made for the pair of them.
"Hello?" He answered the call.
"Hello." Kie said in her Batman voice, then turned away as she felt rather stupid, "I can't.."
"Just talk." Pope chuckled.
"Hello?" the pilot asked again.
Kie cleared her throat, "Is Gavin there?"
"This is Gavin. Who's this? Hello?"
"I know what happened on the tarmac." She said ominously.
Gavin laughed anxiously and looked over at his wife, "um, ah.. who is this?"
"It was Rafe Cameron." Kie glared at the ground thinking about him. "But you already knew that. And you lied about it. Didn't you?"
"Okay- who is this?" Gavin whispered in fear of his wife hearing.
"We're gunna prove it."
"You're gunna tell me who this is right now."
"You could've saved her Gavin."
"Right. Now"
"And you didn't"
"who are you!?" His wife looked over at his raised voice and tense posture.
"You're not getting away with this."
"Listen to me! Who is this!?"
Kie made a face at her phone and hung up on Gavin. She got him paranoid and riled up.
"How was that?" Kie smiled.
JJ nodded and pierced his lips. "Yeaap. I was scared. Good job."
"All right." Pope said, the other two looked at him. "We tickled the wire. Phase two complete. Now we wait and listen."
JJ lay back in the car and sighed.
Gavin looked at his phone anxiously, and his wife rubbed his arm. "What happened?"
"Nothing I just.. I'll be back." He sighed and walked out of his modern home and towards his bugged car.

The pogues sat nearby silently. JJ stared out at the wavering grass and the stars reaching down to brush them gently.
"You okay back there?" Kie said quietly.
"Yeah just.. thinking about some stuff." He replied and brushed his hair from his eyes.
"Third wheeling makes you want her again doesn't it."
JJ nodded. "Wish I woke up a little bit earlier that day. Maybe she'd be here with me right now."
Pope rubbed his eyes, "She said she'd come back JJ. Y/N won't be gone forever."
"What if she is!"
"She isn't." Kie assured him.
"What if she's hurt or- worse."
"...."
Kie shook her head, "Don't say that. We'll see her again." She hoped.
Suddenly the phone flickered and gave out some audio.
"Oh hey there he is." Pope pointed. "Stay down."
Gavin's car slowly rolled past , her tires disrupting the silence of the night. The pogues ducked down and watched it glide past them like a shark circling it's pray.
"He didn't see us, he didn't see us." JJ sat up quickly. "Hit it."
"Go go go go go go go go." Urged Pope. They needed to be close to hear what Gavin was saying. He started yanking on the seatbelt, "Wait my seatbelt my seatbelt." He said frantically.
"Are you seriously buckling up right now." JJ sighed.
"Pope I'm going." Kie pulled away from their hidden patch of he road and drove after Gavin.

'Call Ward Cameron' said Gavin in the headphones. He spoke to his high tech figure-eight car, smooth and humming.
'Hello?' asked Ward on speaker. "He's talking to Ward" Pope updated his friends. JJ leant over the two front seats and looked at Pope while Kie kept her brown eyes fixated on Gavin's car.
"Are you serious?" He looked worried.
'Can you talk?' Gavin asked- However all that was received was distorted mumbling.
"I- get closer, closer. I can't hear." Pope squinted at the car.
'We need to renegotiate my price' Gavin said- unheard.
'What do you mean renegotiate?' Ward glared as he held his phone and some whiskey.
'I need to be paid more. All right?' Gavin ordered.
Pope nodded seriously, "He's talking about negotiating something."
'You need to stop- and think very carefully about what you're about to say here, okay." Rose looked at Ward, worried. He raised his voice slowly. Saying; 'I have treated you very well and I can't figure out one more reason I should pay you a penny more.'
'I've got something that could put you away for life!' Gavin shouted over him.
'What are you talking about.' Ward whispered slowly.
'I've got the gun Ward. The one your son used. I have it.'
Ward grimaced and threw his whiskey down, running his now vacant hand through his hair.
'I know you told me to toss it but I know how you work. I kept it.'
Pope suddenly spoke in the car, "Gavin's got the gun Rafe used to kill Peterkin."
'Somebody called me okay.. people..' Gavin said in Pope's ear, he was barely listening.
"Holy shit." Kie breathed.
Pope nodded in unison, "Oh shit.."
'People are onto me! Someone knows that something is going on.'
"I think he's using it as extortion, leverage." Pope said in the silence.
Ward laughed and waved his hand, "nobody is onto you. There's nobody alive that knows anything. somebody's just screwing around with you, you gotta calm down' He said in a rushed panicked voice.
'I want triple, and I want the plane.'
'I can't do that.' Ward whispered.
'I don't care! Figure it out Ward! I have the gun.'
"Wait he's pulling over." Kie's eyes widened as Gavin swerved into the side of the road. Stopping behind him would be too suspicious...
"He's panicking."
"We said tickle the wire Kie not set it on fire." JJ hissed.
Kie started to panic too "Do I pull behind him what do I do?"
"Go around the block." Pope ordered calmly.
"Yeah go around" JJ agreed and spun his hand in a circle to demonstrate.
"Okay alright" Kie turned.
"Yeah just go."
'I want the money now. You need to meet me tonight.'
"Were gunna lose him!" Kie said as she drove past him.
"I can't hear anything! Shit.. We're losing him! I can't- I can't hear him."
Suddenly, lit up with bright luminescents in font of the car, were roadworks. Big ones.
"What the hell is this..." He sighed.
Pope was panicking now too, he needed to know where they were meeting. "Stop. Just stop now and turn around. Now turn!"
"I'm turning!" Kie raised her voice.
"Pull in here and back up" Said JJ softly from the back of the car."
"Back up back up."
"quickly!"
"I'm just gunna turn here."
"Back up already!"
A loud beeping was heard- a little digger drove past right behind Kie, momentarily trapping them.
"Hey!" Kie shouted.
JJ lost his temper and opened the door, standing out of it and shouting, "Hey, Yo! Yo dude we were about to back up!" He threw his arm up in the air. Pope knew he had to go now. He was running out of time. He threw the door open and leapt out of the car- running off.
"What are you doing!?" Kie shouted.
"You had to do that no- Wait Pope!" JJ jumped from the door and jogged after him, "Pope hey!"
"We gotta know where they're meeting!" Pope yelled as he ran back towards Gavin.
"We going after him?" JJ stopped to let Kie out the car- not waiting for a reply.
"Yeah we are."
"Let's go."
"You can't leave that car here!" A man shouted at them.
"Sorry!" Kie shouted.
JJ heard a voice in the back of his head shout 'Kinda your fault buddy! Watch who you block in next time!' followed by that familiar laughed he loved so much carried by the wind. He wished to turn and and see her there, reaching for his hand and they ran through the night like they used too. "Fuck." JJ sniffed.
"You okay..?" Kie ran up to him...
"Yeah.. yeah uh Pope, Pope what are you doing!?"

Pope rushed through a bush and towards the car as fast as his legs could carry him, phone thrust forward.
