"John B what are we doing at the police station?" JJ questioned

"Somebody's gotta tell them what happened"

Kiara pulled into the dark and seemingly lonely police station.

Their silence was broken up by Pope coughing as if there were no oxygen in the air.

JJ patted his back as Alexandra rolled her eyes.

"Enough." She snapped before grabbing the blunt from Pope forcefully. Pope protested as she found a way to put it out.

He furrowed his eyebrows upset, but the girl simply glared from beside him.

"Just like my old man told me, you should never ever trust cops." JJ held John B's shoulders.

"Right cause your dad is definitely a model citizen who does no wrong."  Alexa stared ahead out of the window. She heard JJ sigh heavily behind her.

It caused her to take a deep breath. She didn't know if it had offended him but she felt bad for saying it. So she grabbed his hand that was wrapped around her head rest and held on to it. Squeezing it softly as an apology, the day was beginning to drag and it was a lot of stress.

"I agree with JJ. Fuck the police." Pope spoke out.

"What are you on the dark side now?" Kiara furrowed her eyebrows.

"When is the last time the police ever helped us?"

Alexandra wanted to mention how much they helped her when her mom died but she bit her tongue. Peterkin was the one who broke the news to her. 

"Peterkin looked out for me." John B snapped, taking the words out of Alexas mouth. Compared to most of the cops in outer banks, Peterkin was a good one, one of the only ones. Alexa felt forever indebted for the amount of chances she had given both JJ and John B.

John B stared at his friends once more before opening the door and heading inside the station.

"This is stupid. We shouldn't be letting him walk in there, it's suicide." JJ groaned in the back seat.

Everyone stayed silent staring at the front door of the station.

"If he would listen-"

"Oh my God JJ, please shut up." Alexa groaned.

"You know what fine, I'm not speaking to you anymore."

JJ removed his hand from hers and sat back. He pouted as Alexa crossed her arms over her chest.

The car remained silent.

Pope coughed out loud again.

"You too! Shut up." Alexa snapped while once again glaring.

"Jesus Woman." Pope stared at her with fearful eyes. Although the boy compliantly began to muffle his coughs.

"Someone's on-"

"Seriously JJ." she whipped around.

"I'm just saying you're being kind of a bitch." he mumbled with a shrug.

She narrowed her eyes before scoffing with a rhetorical laugh.

"Yeah, ok. Maybe if you two weren't so childish."

"I'm childish?"

"I'm not talking to you anymore." Alexandra mimicked a deep voice. 

"I don't sound like that!"
