"Hey!"

She jumped, looking behind her. JJ ran up to her, walking with her.

"Where are you going?" He asked.

"I'm going home." She said.

"Wait is that really the best idea?" He asked in concern.

"It's better than the chateau. I'm grabbing clothes and money for John B." She answered and continued.

"But can't you wait till morning and we'll all go." JJ questioned.

She stopped, "I'm gonna tell my mom."

JJ looked at her, "Are you sure?"

"She deserves to know. She deserves to know how he died. She needs closure." Lucy sighed. "And besides she's probably freaking out with everything happening."

"She's not even home right now Louie!" JJ said, worried cops would be at the house.

"It's already 2 in the morning, she gets home at 6." Lucy replied walking, "I'll hide out in the dock house."

JJ looked around, before sighing, "Okay, let's go."

She looked at him, "You're coming?"

"Well I'm not letting you go alone." JJ said.

She smiled lightly, "Thanks."

He smiled in return, them walking to the house.

The arrived, looking around for cops. "No ones there." Lucy said.

"Alright let's do this" He said. They ran quickly to the front door.

She put the code into the pad as JJ scanned the area in panic.

It door unlocked, them running inside quickly. She closed the door, locking it.

They sighed, fist bumping that they made it this far. Lucy walked quickly to the stairs, going up them.

She halted in her steps, looking at the pictures on the wall.

She looked at the one with her, John B, her mother, and Big John Routledge. She felt a lump in her throat seeing how happy they were.

She looked at another photo, seeing Big John and her mom. She was hugging him from behind as he sat on a chair. It looked like they were in high school, them young and carefree.

"Hey," JJ grabbing her arm gently. "We'll get Ward." He wanted to add Rafe, but he wasn't sure how the girl would react. "John B will be okay."

She nodded, "You're right. He will be. We'll get ward." She looked at him, a tear falling, "And we'll get Rafe."

JJ was taken aback by her words, the two continuing to walk up the stairs.

She ran into the guest room, grabbing what she could find of John B's clothes. She ran into her room, grabbing money and stuffing it into her pockets.

She grabbed a scrunchie, putting her hair in a bun. Or the best bun she could make in a rush.

She looked at her bed, remembering the last time she was there was with Rafe. There was still a dip in the bed from where he slept.
