For a little bit, the teenagers sat in the vehicle as Kie continued driving towards the garage where the boat would be parked. As they drove, police cars had sped past them, letting them know that John B still hadn't been found. Soon enough, they parked right in front of the garage where JJ unlocks it, letting the girls walk in as they stared at the boat. A small cover laid on top of the boat, covered in dust to prevent dust getting onto the boat.

"There she be. Hey, girl. A 1983 Formula 402 SR1. The Phantom." JJ states, taking the dusty cover off. "The first boat to make the run to Bermuda in under sixteen hours, girls. Forty years old! Forty. And still the fastest thing that Kildare's ever seen."

"It's kind of a junker." Kie comments.

JJ raises a brow. "Really? She's right there, Kie. She can hear you."

Y/n shrugs, stepping to the boat. "It's not so bad."

"Thank you, Y/n." JJ says with a small smile. "But let's just put it this way. You would not be smoking weed right now if she never existed, okay?"

"I just hope it runs." Kie tells them.

"Oh, no, she'll run alright. She's faster than any cutters the boys in blue got." JJ explains.

The loud sound of a motorbike fills their eardrums as the sound approaches the garage they were in at the moment, the sound slightly echoing throughout the room. Thinking it was her boyfriend, Y/n stands up and ventures away from her sister and friend, walking along the side of the boat. However, the e/c eyed girl stops in her tracks and tenses up when she sees Rafe turn the corner, eyes glancing between the three Pogues.

"Hey, there. What's going on?" Rafe greets the three. "JJ? Kie? How you guys doing?"

A whistle catches the trio's attention as it echoed through the room while they turn around as Y/n quickly made her way back to her sister and friend, all of them tensing up even more when they see Barry standing there behind them, a smug smirk on his face as he slapped a hand on the black vehicle they were in earlier. The sound of a gun cocking is heard, followed by Barry aiming a gun at JJ who puts his hands up in surrender.

"Well, well." Barry says with a smug smirk. "See, don't think I forgot about me and you on the side of the road. I'm here because I want my motherfucking money."

All of a sudden, the man lunges at the blonde as he punches the teenager in the face, sending him right to the ground. As Barry continues to beat the Maybank boy up, both Kie and Y/n lunged at the black haired man. However, only Y/n was stopped as a pair of arms wrapped around her waist, lifting her up and pulling her back and away from her sister and friend. Rafe eventually put the girl down, making her face him.

"It's not you we want, Y/n. Where's John B?" Rafe asks in a demanding tone.

"I don't know!" Y/n fires back.

The next thing the Cameron boy knew, Y/n's hand was swung back and her fist met with his face, making him stumble back slightly. Rafe pokes his tongue to the side of his cheek, swiping the small cut on his lip as a bit of blood oozed out of the injury. Letting out a small and quiet scoff, he fixes himself up while looking back at the younger girl.

"I really wish you didn't do that." Rafe tells her.

"I know what you did." Y/n informs.

Rafe raises a brow. "What? What did I do?"

"You murdered Peterkin!" Y/n blurts out.

At her sudden outburst, Barry stops kicking JJ's stomach as he sends a shocked look to Rafe who doesn't even look at him. Seeing him distracted, Kie jumps on the man's back as JJ begins to get up to get revenge on the black haired man. However, Barry was quick enough to send him back down to the ground with a kick to his stomach, then getting Kie to get off his back, sending her to the ground as well, going back to kicking the blonde while Kie tried to stop him.

Y/n went to go help her sister, however, Rafe's hand suddenly came up and wrapped around her neck, lifting her feet up from the ground as he slammed her back into a concrete pillar. His eyes glaring into her own, he tightened his fingers around her neck, strained sounds coming from her throat as the Kook began to choke her, the girl only wanting air to come into her lungs.

"Don't you ever say those fucking words again." Rafe sneers. "Understand?"

"Get off of her, Rafe!" Kie shouts as she steps in their direction, but Barry stopped her.

"Where's John B?" Rafe repeats.

The boy sounded even more demanding than before as he waited for an answer that he liked until he'd let her go. It was clear to the girl that he wanted her friend arrested, most likely for the amount of money people would get whoever found him and turned him in, and Rafe seemed to want that despite him being born into a rich family. The Carrera girl squeezes his wrist as she had been holding onto it, feeling less oxygen leaving her.

Suddenly, the loud sound of a clang of metal echoed throughout the entire garage as Rafe's hand loosened from the girl's neck as he fell to his knees, a groan in pain escaping him. The girl let out a gasp, feeling relieved that she could breath again as she looks behind Rafe, seeing her boyfriend standing there, a pipe in hand as he glared at the back of Rafe's head, teeth gritted together.

"Don't touch her!" Pope yells.

As Pope and Rafe began fighting and JJ and Barry after the blonde was able to get the gun out of the older man's hands, the Carrera sisters found themselves standing in-between the four guys, neither of them having a clue on what to do. JJ was soon finishing off Barry as he shoved the man to the ground, sending one last hard punch to the black haired man's face, keeping him on the ground before he walked towards the girls, all of them looking at their friend who was beating up Rafe Cameron.

Pope wasn't holding back. The Kook could've killed his girlfriend. The one he loves so much. Blood began dripping down from Rafe's mouth as he stumbled back into a desk while the three shouted for Pope to stop. However, the Heyward boy ignored all three of them as he grabs a thick rope, wrapping it around the blue eyed boy's neck and pulling it backwards, strained chokes escaping Rafe's throat.

Soon quickly noticing that Pope wasn't gonna stop at all, JJ took matters into his own hands as he grabbed ahold of Pope, pulling him back and away from Rafe who fell to the ground, letting out gasps, desperate for air to get back into his lungs. Pope's eyes widen, finally realizing what he was just about to do, his chest heaving up and down from his previous actions as he didn't get a single breath out.

"Okay, we gotta go." Kie ushers.

The older Carrera sister started making her way to the car with JJ soon trailing behind her after he let go of Pope. Y/n was the last person to follow as she stared at her boyfriend, slight tears in her eyes. Knowing that'd he follow them, the younger Carrera sister steps away and follows JJ and her sister. Pope glances up at his girlfriend before he looks back down at Rafe, glaring daggers right at him.

"Stay off the cut." Pope demands.
