ivy sat in the hammock, lightly swaying back and forth as kiara continued playing her ukulele.

'that's a lot of wax on your board, put too much wax and it's gonna be slippery.' pope said.

jj stopped, sitting up from where he was hunched over, 'are you telling me how to wax my board pope?'

'no- i'm just saying that's a lot of wax.' pope replied.

'no, no, no, no, no, you're telling me how to wax my board you kidding?'

'that is a colossal amount of wax-'

jj and pope's voice became drowned out as the sound of a car driving across the stones got closer and closer, followed by the sound of a honking horn.

ivy looked over, seeing the twinkie parked in its usual spot, john b at the wheel.

immediately trying to jump from the hammock, almost falling on her face, ivy then ran towards her brother, 'no fucking way!'

'guess who's out of the clink boy!' john b yelled.

'no freaking way bro!' pope yelled.

'my boys out of the can!' jj smiled.

the four then wrapped their arms around john b, all letting out a muffled, 'i miss you.'

'i missed you guys too.' john b smiled.

'so how'd you do it, bust out?' ivy asked.

'uh, they dropped the charges.' john b said.

'they dropped the charges?' jj repeated.

'dude that's phenomenal.' kie replied.

'so you're telling me i did all that work for nothing.' jj sighed.

'the most elaborate escape plan of all time?' pope asked.

'that ended with us running away from cops through a park.' ivy finished.

'fool proof?' kie added.

'wait, where's sarah?' john b asked.

nobody responded, the four looking at each other.

'no, no, no. where- where's sarah?' john b asked again.

'she went to go meet wheezie last night.' kie finally spoke up. 'she didn't come back.'

———————————————————————————

'so sarah just dips and doesn't call?' john b asked.

'yea man. she just left her bag, didn't tell anyone.' pope replied.

'ok dude, i- i- i really think ward got to her. i mean the dude tried to have me killed in jail.' john b snapped.

'what?' ivy hissed.

'yea. he sent somebody to the prison who yoked me up and almost killed me.' john b continued.

'you're kidding me, right?' kie asked.

'do we know who this dude was?' jj asked.

'no, i have no idea.' john b sighed. 'dude i swear to god, one day i'm just gonna kill that son of a bitch.'

'it's ok.' kie said.

'no, kie it's not ok. we gotta find sarah.'

kie then pointed to the water behind john b, 'no literally it's ok. she's right there.'

everyone turned around, watching as topper slowly brought his malibu close to the hms, sarah jumping up once she saw john b, 'john b!'

'what the hell is she doing with uppity up.' ivy whispered.
