AMELIA, JOHN B AND JJ returned to the chateau and waited for Kie and Pope to arrive before recounting the events that had occurred at Lana's house that morning on the veranda.

"And we were right outside like this", JJ demonstrated as he stood against the brick wall "And all we hear is just 'bam, bam, bam, "knocking paint off the wall, G. From inside", JJ explained dramatically.

"Alright, and I'm just looking at him like- okay, first off", JJ points to John B as he cuts himself off "Look at this shit, " JJ says as he ruffles his hair near Kiara and Pope.

"That's dandruff, disgusting," Kiara says with her nose scrunched up. 

"Look at all that, alright? That's paint," JJ's said

"At that point, I was just, like...I'm waiting for death"

Amelia rolled her eyes at the dramatic recreations of the events from this morning.

"Oh, Okay. So you saw the guys who shot at us, Right?" Pope asked, cutting JJ off before he could continue talking

"Yes, we did", Amelia confirmed

"Did you get a good description of them?" Kiara asked

"Anything's helpful", Kiara continued.

"Anything we can bring to a police report?" Pope inquired

"Burly", JJ blurted out.

"What?" Kiara and Amelia shot him a look

"Burly?" Pope repeated in disbelief 

"Yeah. You know, like-" JJ started.

"That's not helpful at all", Kiara interrupted 

"Okay, well, no, like the type of guy at my dad's garage," JJ said "I mean, you guys know he made cargo hides for drug smugglers", JJ's continued. 

"Yes. Yeah. No, we know." Kiara nodded 

"I can tell you with full confidence that these boys. These killers...They're square groupers," JJ finished. 

"They're square groupers? Like narco square groupers?" Pope asked

"Like Pablo Escobar square groupers? Pope continued 

"Yeah, man" JJ confirmed

"You guys, not everything is a kingpin movie", Amelia sighed.

"Okay, so what did the square groupers look like specifically?" Pope asked, getting annoyed
"You weren't there!" JJ said with a raise of his voice

"You don't know what to look for!" Pope shouted back

"Dude! I wasn't taking little mental Polaroids the entire man; I was under duress, okay?" JJ stressed
"J", Amelia called in an attempt to calm him down with a soft smile. In an instant, he calmed down.

"But I can tell you- I can tell you by the way Ms Lana was screaming that these guys are serious, serious hombre man"

"What about you, Millie? Did you get a description?" Kiara asked hopeful

"Yeah, did you?" Pope asked again

"Both of them had shaggy dark brown hair and dark brown eyes. Their height was about..hmm, I'd say 6'2, maybe? And one of them had a beard, I think." Amelia said as she sat up 


"See?" Pope pointed to JJ, "That's helpful" 

"It's a heavy vibe right now, okay. I'm not liking this very much," JJ asked as he took another hit of his vape.
