Bondi hated phone calls with a passion. Every time she seemed to be on a call with someone other than JJ she made things awkward or uncomfortable. Yet the group of pogues still decided it was best for her to get in contact with Gavin. Typing in the number the blonde kept contemplating how the conversation would play out. How would she approach him? What would she say? Should she go undercover and use a different voice?

Her small hand hovered over the call button. "Should I do an accent?"

"Definitely disguise your voice."

Bondi cleared her throat and spoke with the most horrific Australian accent. "Good evening mate. How would you like me to talk?"

JJ and Kiara rose their brows. "Not like that."

Bondi sighed and regrouped. She put on a stellar deep muffled voice and said, "Luke I am your father."

"Spot on. Let's do it."

The blonde nodded and hit the button putting it on speaker. Bondi prayed this would be a quick call and after a few rings she heard Gavins voice. "Hello?"

"Hello." She answered in her Darth Vader voice. But it hurt her throat to much. "I can't."

"Just talk."

"Hello?" the man questioned again.

"Is Gavin there?" Bondi asked in her normal voice.

"This is Gavin. Who is this? Hello?"

The girl looked over at Kiara and Pope for confirmation before continuing. "I know what happened on the tarmac."

The group heard a laugh from the phone before hearing, "Um..who's this?"

It was hard for her emotions not to cloud her train of thought as she answered, "it was Rafe Cameron. But you already knew that and you lied about it. We're gonna prove it."

"Your gonna tell me who this is now?"

Bondi smirked, she had been waiting her whole life to answer this question. "Im your worst nightmare d bag."

Kiara smacked her arm and gave her a stern look. Bondi sighed continuing the conversation. "You could have saved her Gavin and you didn't. And your not getting away with this."

"Listen to me! Who is this!?"

She hung up the phone and glanced around the group of friends. "How was that? Scary enough to win an Emmy?"

JJ made a spooked out face before pulling her into a hug. "I was so very scared. Good job Bond."

"All right. We tickled the wire. Phase two complete. Now we wait and listen," Pope explained.
If the third phase went according to plan Gavin would leave his home in search for Ward out of terror.

Not even minutes later Gavin was storming out the house and headed to his car. "All right. Hey here he comes. Stay down."

The four ducked low as the man drove past them. "He didn't see us hit it."

"Go, go, go, go, go, go." Pope tried yanking his seatbelt while Kiara started up the car. "My seatbelt."

"Are you seriously buckling up now?"

"Yes I am."

Kiara quickly pulled away and did a fast u turn. "You don't need it right now."

Both JJ and Bondi leaned in towards Pope listening in to Gavin. "He's talking to Ward."

"Are you serious?"

"Yeah."

"Get closer I can't hear." Kiara sped up to get a better signal. "He's talking about negotiating something. Re..renegotiating."

Pope continued to listen until his face paled at what he heard next. "Gavins got the gun that Rafe used to kill Peterkin."

Bondi harshly laughed, "bingo motherfucker."

"I think he's trying to use it as extortion as leverage." If only Bondi could pin this on the real killers. But with the amount of times the police warned her to stay away the more the girl wanted revenge. Not only to rub it in the towns face but someone had died. Peterkin deserved justice.

"Wait he's pulling over."

"Shit he's panicking."

Kiara slowed down muttering, "do I pull behind him? What do I do?"

"Go around the block."

Listening to those words Kie drove around the block as quickly as possible. "We're gonna lose him. Go, go, go!"

"I'm going. I'm going."

"I can't hear anything. Shit I'm losing signals." The pogues hurried and pulled up to a sign that read road closer. Bondi cursed under her breath. How convenient. Ward was gonna get away once again.

"What the hell is this."

"Stop. Just stop and turn around now."

The boys continued to shoot advice at Kiara until she began backing up. "What are you doing?"

They all peered around to see a truck pulling out from where they needed to go. "Are you kidding?"

JJ huffed in frustration yanking open the door open. "Hey! We were about to back up. You literally had to do that now."

"Pope!" Bondi yelled hopping out the car to chase an on the loose Pope. Who was sprinting to catch a signal.

"God I need longer legs," Bondi muttered as she continued to run with JJ and Kiara hot on her heels. Though Pope didn't stop. He continued to race through someone's back yard while Bondi attempted to jump over a fence to follow her friend.

The two ran faster when
they spotted a group of kids their age in the pool. "Yo guys," one of them exclaimed.

Eventually Pope stumbled and tripped over a seasaw. "Shit Pope."

Bondi picked the AirPod off the floor and handed it towards the boy. "Can you hear him?"

JJ and Kie finally caught up. "He..he's meeting Ward right now we gotta go."

"Okay come on." And the four raced back through the garden hoping to catch the two men. The friends jumped back into the car and we're ready to expose the truth.

"Let's go."
