MERCEDES, jj maybank

51.

STILL IN LOVE?

Now that group had reunited and had a new addition they were all sitting in the Chateau talking about the latest events and how they needed John B out.

Sarah was pacing around, Pope and Kiara were sitting on a couch, Trinity was sitting in a chair opposite Tyler and John B was standing against the wall.

"I'm gonna testify under oath, I was there," Sarah paces around, "Trinity, you do it with me, you were there too but I just need to get a hold of my sister!"

"Sister?" JJ shook his head, already convinced this plan was not going to work.

But Sarah just ignored him, "Kie, do you have your phone?" Kiara pulled it out of her pocket and handed it to her, "Thanks - Wheezie is the only other person that knows Rafe wasn't home that day!"

"Wheezie?!"

"I don't know what else to do." Sarah holds her arms out and just watches as JJ is horrified by the idea. "I got us into this mess, I'm gonna do my best to get us out!" Sarah heads off, dialling a number.

JJ scoffs, "Wheezie? Yeah, that will work. I mean she's right about one thing; we gotta do something. Our boy is 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 kidnap Shoupe?" Trinity stands up and steps to JJ.

"Maybe," JJ shrugs, "Like, that's not the worst idea actually,"

"Have you actually gone insane?" Trinity's eyebrows it together and she points to her temple. "It's not a bad idea?"

"No!"

Trinity folds her arms and sits back down shaking her head, "That is actually the worst idea I've ever heard," Pope points out.

"Exactly!" Trinity thanks him, "We can't go in there and raid every cell looking for him!"

JJ points to Trinity without actually looking at her, "You know what, just stay out of this right now. Pope, we've been doing everything your way and how has that been working?"

"Okay, so what's your plan?!" Pope retorts.

Trinity shuffles her chair back closer to her brother, "It's not usually like this,"

"They're stressed, I get it," Tyler shrugs, making sure to stay out of their hair. The two turn back and listen to Pope and JJ fight.

"Are you gonna storm a jail, guns a-blazing?" Pope sarcastically asks JJ.

"Look, Pope, all I'm trying to get you to understand is they got our boy," He pats Pope's chest, "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 says calmly.

"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 tells the group.

"Okay," Kiara says flatly watching JJ leave.

"Should we be worried," Pope turns to Kie.

"Yes!" She says, "For sure! Look I'm gonna hit my parents and see if I can get money for a lawyer,"

As Kiara speaks Trinity couldn't help but watch JJ get on his bike and ride off in the rain. She huffed and frowned, looking at the floor.

"John B would have a public defender, he really doesn't need that right now," Pope tells Kie. but they both turn around and look at Tyler who was laughing.
