Five of the six teens were at the wreck
"look, he'll come around, all right? it's..." john b said "he's doing a jj thing"
"you think he'll go home?" kie asked
pope shook his head looking out of the big window "there's about a zero percent chance that jj goes home"
"no" jo shook her head "if he seriously wants to do the right thing, he's going home"
john b looked at sarah "you okay?" she nodded "yeah. are you?"
"i mean, i'm in one piece, so..."
"oh, shut up, lovebirds" jo snapped making the four look at her, she was covering her face with her hands as she tried to catch her breath
"is it coming?" sarah asked referring to a panic attack
"no" she said shoving off her hands "i mean, yes, but i'm handling it"
kie looked at her "is it because of jj?"
"jo" john b placed his hand over her shoulder "what did he tell you?"
"yeah, dolphin, you look shocked since he talked to you" pope said
"i'm not gonna to you what he told me, it was too horrible. it's just to much to handle right now"
sarah stood up and placed a kiss on her head "it's okay, sunflower"
"why don't you go and talk to him?" john b asked "you two are like bonny and clyde"
"no" jo stated "i'm not gonna go after him" she said as she stood up "but i'm going out of here. i-i need to do one thing" and with that she was out of the wreck
the four looked at each other not understanding what she meant "anyway" pope said "it's too dangerous to pawn this thing off piecemeal. so our best bet is to go down there and get the rest of it. bring it all up at once. put it in-in a safe or a vault or something. i-i don't know. just until we can find someone who won't rip us off" the group nodded at him "i can figure it out tonight, get it done. and we can be out there tomorrow morning"
"all right, let's do it" john b nodded
sarah gave him a look "what about that thing with my dad?"
"shit"
pope cocked a brow at the boy "what thing?"
"i have to go fishing with ward"
kie scoffed "you can't get 400 mil 'cause you're gonna go kill fish?"
