Obscurity (2) - JJ Maybank

THE DARKEST HOUR PT II.

The Pogues were all at the Chateau, a few hours after being at court and happily, it was raining heavily outside. Note the sarcasm. 

"I'm gonna testify under oath. I was there. I just need to get a hold of my sister," Sarah told sternly. 

"Sister?" JJ pretty much scoffed at her idea. 

"Yeah, that definitely won't work," Aria shook her head. 

"Kie, do you have your phone?" Sarah asked ignoring the other two. 

Kie looked annoyed when she handed Sarah her phone but didn't say anything. 

"Wheezie is the only other person that knows Rafe wasn't home that day," Sarah told. 

"Wheezie?" JJ again didn't like her idea. 

"I don't know what else to do. I got us into this mess. I'm gonna do my best to get us out," Sarah sighed as she walked inside the chateau. 

"Huh? Wheezie? Yeah, that will work," JJ scoffed again. "Well, she's right about one thing. We gotta do something. Our boy is a PO-dub right now, okay? He's held captive by the enemy right now, maybe even scheduled for execution. Are we just gonna sit here?" 

"What's the plan? We start by kidnapping Shoupe?" Kie questioned angrily as she stood up and faced JJ. 

"Maybe, like, that's not the worst idea actually," JJ shrugged. 

"Oh, it's not?" Kie argued. 

"No!" JJ told. 

"That is actually the worst idea I've ever heard," Pope chimed. 

"It's pretty bad," Sarah continued from inside the Chateau. 

"You know? Please, just stay out of this," JJ told Sarah. 

 "You realise if you kidnap Shoupe you will go to jail, too. And you don't even have your gun anymore," Aria added. 

"Okay, Pope, look, we've been doing everything your way,  and how has that been working out, huh?" JJ interrogated and ignored Aria. 

"Okay, okay, so what's your plan?" Pope further asked JJ standing up and looking at the boy too. "You gonna storm a jail, guns a-blazing?" Pope mocked. 

"Look, Pope, all I'm trying to get you to understand is they got our boy," JJ spoke as he stood and looked directly into Pope's eyes. "Are we just gonna sit here and do nothing? No! We're gonna go get his ass. We're gonna do something about it!" 

"JJ, we're not storming a jail. It's not happening," Pope finalized. 

"No, fine, man. Sit in your comfy chair. Do nothing. I'm gonna see what I can do. Make something happen, even if I have to do it by myself," JJ said as he put his hat back on. 

"Okay," Kie rolled her eyes. JJ stormed out. 

"Aria?" Pope asked her pointing to JJ knowing she would probably be the one to calm him down. 

"Fine," Aria sighed as she sat up and walked out to JJ. He was about to start up his bike. 

"Yo, slick!" Aria called, JJ turned his head to her. "You got me out in the rain, the least you could do is give me a ride," Aria said as she walked up next to the bike. 

"They send you out here to try and calm me down?" JJ scoffed. 

"Yeah," Aria nodded. "But am I gonna do it, probably not, so just take me wherever you are going." 

JJ mounted the bike and moved forward a bit so Aria could climb up behind him. She wrapped her arms around his torso as he started the bike. 

JJ took them back to his house, Aria wasn't worried about Luke being there considering what JJ had already told her so she just followed JJ as he paced around the house and then walked towards his room.
