forty-four: Woogity.

     

     THE NEXT day, Kie, Pope, JJ and Kai exit from the Wreck together. "Just for the record, I never doubted them." JJ says, smiling as he glanced at Kai who nods in agreement. "I owe you five bucks." Kie says. "Hey Kiara, I do need those setups done by five!" Anna Carrera shouted out to her daughter walking with the three boys. "There are other people that work here." Kie shouted back.

"But ain't none of them my children!"

They approach the dock now, "I feel that. On a deep, emotional level, I understand that." Pope says as Kie sat down with Kai and Pope went to sit with them and JJ tossed his backpack down beside Kai. "So we going to the Bahamas or what?" The blond asked, leaning onto the benches they were sitting on.

"Dude, there's no way we're getting to the Bahamas." Pope says, looking at him. "John B is gonna get nabbed sooner or later. So if we're gonna clear his name, we need to have done it yesterday." Kie said, looking directly at Kai who raised his hands defensively.

"I'll tell you how we do it." JJ stood up straight, walking away. "So you have it all planned out?" Pope asked curiously, looking at him. "As a matter of fact, I do." JJ says, turning to him. "We kidnap Rafe." He started off with.

"I'm sorry, what?"

"We kidnap Rafe, tie him up and stick the gun in his mouth and just wait until he starts squawking." He says and Kai furrows his brows together. "You know, torture's a war crime." Kie says and Kai softly shakes his head, looking away with an eye roll. "Yeah, so how exactly do you plan on clearing John B's name from a prison cell? Because that's a felony." Pope says and Kai glanced over at JJ.

"Alright, well, what do you got, Pope? I was just trying to keep it simple. You know, one stop and we're done." The blond boy says, sitting down and Kai scoffs softly. "Guys, all we need is a material witness." Pope says. "We saw Ward's plane fly right over our heads with the gold inside of it." He explains to them.

"Yeah... he didn't fly it, and if someone else flew the plan, they were also there on the tarmac." Kai says, looking over at Pope who nods. "Exactly." He says, "they saw Peterkin get murdered," he added on. "We just have to find whoever that was and get them to confess on record." Pope says and Kai sighed.

"How do we do that?"

"A little light espionage." Pope says, looking at Kie who had asked and JJ puts his hat on. "A little ghost recon." He says and Kai smiled. "Woogity-woogity?" Pope held out his hands and they all join in, "give me some woogity, baby!" JJ says before standing up.

On the drive, Kai and JJ were sitting close together and leaning forward in the middle as Pope was in the passenger seat while Kie was driving. "If this guy was flying planes for Ward, he's gotta be pretty tight-lipped." Pope tells the group as JJ loads the gun.

"So then direct approach gets my vote." JJ says and Kai grabs the gun. "Hell, no!" He exclaimed. "JJ, no." Pope agrees with him as Kie glanced back. "No! What?" She says, looking back at the road. "Put the gun down." Pope says as JJ keeps a firm grip on the gun, Kai was trying to take it from him. "Guys! We gotta keep this simple, or else we'll never get John B off." JJ says and Kai just rolled his eyes.

He pulls his hand back and crossed his arms. "Or we just tickle the wire." Pope says as he holds up his Airpods case. "What?" Kie says as she glanced at him. "We tickle the wire. I plant my phone in his car, and then we listen in on your Airpods." Pope explains before raising his phone towards Kie, "say something."

"Something." She says and Kai smiled. "Okay, we have audio." Pope stated when he hears her on the wireless earpods he had on. "I think that's his house over there." Pope pointed as Kie now slows down the car, coming to a complete stop before parking the car. "Alright, honk or, uh... yell or something if you see anything suspicious." Pope says, taking off his seatbelt.

"Don't do anything dangerous."

"Come on. I'm not JJ."

Kai glanced at JJ who just glanced at their friend leaving the car. "Funny, Pope." He simply says and Kai chuckles, looking at Kie now. As Pope walks towards the house, Kai leans back, rubbing his eyes before looking at JJ.

"So, how's it been going, you know, with Pope and all, Kie?" JJ suddenly asked and Kai stared at him, slightly confused. "It's good." Kie said and Kai glanced to the front of the car. "It's good? Alright." JJ glanced around.

"In the bedroom, is he, like, kinda freaky, 'cause it's Pope, you know?" He now asked and Kai grimaced. How is that a normal question to ask your friend about your other friend? "Why are you asking?" Kie asked and Kai was wondering the exact same thing, staring at his boyfriend. "I don't know. Just kinda curious." JJ says, looking out the window on his side.

"You wanna try him out or something? We can arrange that, J, and then I'll spend a night with Kie, too, that sound fun to you?" Kai said as he sat up making JJ look at him right away. "What? No. Hell no." He shook his head and Kie just let out a small laugh at that.

"We could just sit in silence..." She suddenly says and Kai just smiled, looking away as he crossed his arms. He still can't help but overthink a little... why was JJ asking things like that? And with such a forlorn look?

Kai can't lie, he's always felt insecure. Like he wasn't who JJ wanted to truly be with. And sometimes he felt like who JJ wanted to actually be with, like the way they are, was Kie. Maybe it's always been her. Never him. The thought kind of breaks his heart a little. Why would JJ waste his time, if he still feels things for Kie like he use to before they got together?
