I Love Him

After making sure her sister was home safe, Ari was now at the Château. John B and Ari had revealed to both Kie and JJ that the gold was gone and that it was Ward that took it.

The other two Pogues we devastated at the news, but we're glad the two were okay and didn't get caught by Ward.

Now, Kiara sat on the railing of the porch and John B was laying down using a life jacket as a pillow. Ariella's feet were dangling off the edge of the docks as she leaned back into the chest of JJ who has his arms wrapped around her waist, kissing her neck and temple making the girl smile and laugh.

" You sure he got everything?" Kie questions the Routledge boy.

" Every bar." Ari nods as she plays with JJ's fingers that were on her stomach. " The whole enchilada."

Ari glances at John B when she hears a grunt come from him. He has taken off his cast. Ari just wanted to go over and slap him for taking it off since it wasn't fully healed, but she just rolled her eyes leaning into JJ more.

John B throws his cast to the other side." Look, it's not like we expected a happy ending or some shit."

" John B—." Kie starts.

" What, Kie?" John B snaps. " It's a hairline fracture. Who cares?"

" You should care." Kie tells him.

" Yeah, now your gonna have a messed up arm for life." Ari says dramatically.

John B playfully rolls his eyes at the girl before looking at Kie. " It's fine. See?" He holds up his arm.

" Guys!" A voice calls to them as footsteps rapidly approach them. They all turn and see Pope who was panting heavily resting his hands on his knees.

" How was the interview, Pope?" JJ questions the boy who was still trying to catch his breath.

" Don't ask." Pope breaths out before glancing between John B and Ari. " JB, Ari." Pope still pants. Ari sits up to get a better look at the male, JJ's hand now resting on her waist. " Look, I'm sorry...about everything, but I don't have a lot of time, and—and I have information that is tactically relevant."

" Pope, please spit it out." Ari urges.

" Sorry." He nods. " So, before I had my interview, my dad said he was going down to the private airstrip to cut palms for Cameron's big plane. Because it was too heavy it needed a longer landing strip to take off. So, I'm there sitting at my interview thinking to myself, Hm. why would Cameron need a longer airstrip to take off? What could be so heavy to weigh it down?"

JJ and Ari share a look. " Gold."

" That's right." John B nods in agreement.

Pope frantically nods. " Exactly. Guys, this is our chance, but it leaves tonight and we have to go."

" Guys, we can't give up now." Kie hops off the railing with a smile.

" What's the plan, you two?" JJ looks between his girlfriend and bestfriend.

Ari and John B share a look before smirking. " We're gonna steal that shit back."

At those words they all smile, JJ kisses Ari passionately making the girl giggle into it. Ari then runs and pulls the other three into a hug. Then they all share a look before rushing down the docks.

Ari runs and jumps on JJ's back. JJ stumbles, but catches her and makes sure she's stable before they run to the van.
