RICKY SITS NEXT to JJ as she watches the sun rise. "That's what, a three story fall to the deck? I give you about a one in three chance of survival." Pope says as John B hangs his foot off the roof of a house.

He sticks his finger in his mouth and into the air, testing the wind. "Should I do it?" John B asks.

"Yeah, you should jump. I'll shoot you on the way down." Pope says as he holds up the electric drill.

"You'll shoot me?" John B asks.

"They're gonna have Japanese toilets with towel warmers." Kiara says as she walks out of the house that's currently under construction.

"Of course they would. Why wouldn't they?" JJ asks.

"This used to be a turtle habitat, but who cares about the turtles, I guess?" Ricky says making JJ raise his eyebrows.

"I can't have cold towels." He says.

"Can you please not kill yourself?" Kiara asks.

"Don't spill that beer. I'm not giving you another one." JJ says. Then, John B drops the beer.

"Of course you did." Ricky says. John B groans and a loud 'hey' comes from the front of the house.

"Hey, uh, security's here. Let's wrap it up." Pope says.

"Boys came early today." John B says.

"Humpy Dumpty, let's roll." JJ says as he helps Ricky up. "Gary, is that you?"

Ricky climbs down and goes through the house with her friends, laughing and running.

They jump over a fence and get into the van John B has. "Check out Gary gunnin' for a raise." Pope laughs.

"Come on, Gary!" JJ taunts.

"Guys, you're gonna give him a heart attack." Kiara scolds. JJ begins taunting the cop making Ricky laugh.

"DAD! Where's my shoes?" Ricky yells to her father as she walks downstairs. Then, the tornado alarm begins to sound.

"You're fucking kidding me." Matthew curses.

"What's going on?" Ricky asks.

"Its a hurricane. Get your sister." Nancy orders. Ricky nods and runs outside, the wind messing up her hair.
