"Ward's not giving up on this search anytime soon. It's been almost three weeks." John B stated. The pogues all sat on the chateau's porch discussing their next move.

Blair stood up  and stared out to the sea behind them. She remembered the conversation her and John B had on the beach, about running away.

"I think we need to leave. A plan to get out of here."

"Leave?! W-what do you mean leave?" Pope stuttered looking around and each of them.

JJ stood up as well. "I'm down. Been trying to leave this hell hole for years." He threw an arm over Blair's shoulders. She smiled at his eagerness.

"Kie?" Blair looked over to her where she stared out to sea as well. They waited for her response.

She sighed before she stood up and joined her and JJ. "Once a pogue always a pogue. We stick together. Right Pope?"

All eyes landed on Pope who avoided eye contact scratching the back of his head.

John B now stood up too, and stood next to Blair causing JJ to remove his arm from her shoulders frowning a bit as he did. "Pope? Come on man" John B said.

"Well we're not totally leaving forever. Think of it as a vacation ya know?" Blair encouraged him.

Pope shook his head standing up and joining them all. "I hate you guys"

They all cheered and hugged each other. Pope receiving a few nudges causing him to smile finally.

"So... where?" Pope asked with a shrug.

Each of them looked at one another unsure of what to say. Of course JJ had a smirk already forming on his face.

"Bahamas?" JJ said.

"Do you have any idea how long that'll take JJ?" Kiara asked laughing.

"What if I know a guy, like where we can get a boat for it and everything?" JJ pursed his lips.
