The next morning, JJ had to leave early for work, but not before he made sure Emma was okay, or as okay as she could be, given the circumstances. Leaving Emma, Pope and Kie alone for the morning. 

After a disappointing breakfast of burnt toast, courtesy of Pope, Kie decided they should visit the Cameron residence.

"I don't think that's a very good idea" Pope said, as Kie picked up two cans of red spray paint 

"I think it's a genius idea" Emma said, catching the can which Kie threw at her, and walking out of the chateau, towards the HMS pogue

"They deserve it, Pope. They're murders" Kie said to Pope, walking out of the chateau after Emma.

Emma climbed into the boat, followed closely by Kie.. They sat in silence for a moment before a hesitant Pope walked out. Kie and Emma smirked at each other as he too, climbed into the boat. 

The Routledge girl started the HMS and pulled away, heading towards Tannyhill, the home of the man who killed her father, and possibly brother. 

She pulled up outside the house, glaring at it as Kie jumped onto the grass verge with her red spray can. Emma followed her to the big wall which surrounded the estate. Kie crouched down, shaking the can as she began to spray 

"Guys" Pope said, getting out of the HMS, "I don't know about this" He said, looking at the building nervously. 

"Then go home, Pope" an irritated Emma said, crouching down next to Kie and helping the girl. Pope sighed and looked around, obviously unsure of the situation. 

"Okay, I'm not sure, but I think they can definitely see us from up there" Pope said, walking up to the wall to look over 

"Who cares? They should be glad I'm not setting the house on fire" Kie sneered as Emma painted an 'E' on the wall

"Okay... well, can you just hurry up?" Pope pleaded with the girls as they both stood up

"Look, doesn't it piss you off, even a little bit?" Kie fumed, stopping what she was doing and looking back to Pope

"Of course it pisses me off, I'm just-" Pope tried to say, but stopped to take a deep breath, "I'm just trying to channel my rage into different vectors right now" he said more calmly. Emma stepped back and placed her hands on her hips as she admired their work  

"Beautiful" Emma said, as Kie finished the 's', successfully spelling 'MURDERERS' on the wall, Kie stood up after her, looking at the wall,

"Not bad" She said, nodding her head 

"Hey, I think somebody's up there" Pope said, moving closer to the wall. Emma and Kie moved forward with him, seeing Rafe Cameron standing on the balcony, looking over at them. 

"It's Rafe" Emma said, glaring at the boy before she lifted her hand and waved at the boy, a sarcastic smile on her face 

"Look, we know what you did" Kie shouted at the boy. Emma's eyes widened, not expecting this from the girl, as Pope pulled her back 

"Hey. No" Pope whispered, pulling the girl away from the wall and towards the water where the boat was sitting

"Murderers" The girl shouted again. Emma laughed at the girls nerve 

"No. Now is not the time. Are you serious?" Pope said as the three walked off, jumping into the boat and taking off into the marsh


"Rafe is a psychopath. He could come after us" Pope said as Kie pulled out a blunt, smoking as they travelled along the water 

"Let him try" Emma said, taking the blunt off of Kie and taking a hit for herself
