Ch 3- The Heist part 1

It's pouring rain as we get to the spot Ward and Gavin are supposed to meet at. We peek over a fence across the street. Pope has a camcorder from like the 90's in his hands."Nice camera," JJ teases. "Where'd you dig up that relic?Why don't you just use your phone?" He asks "yeah that looks like what my mom used to film our very old home movies on" I say fixing my hood that was not helping to keep me dry at all. "We'll, first of all, I like my antique electronics. Second of all, this is a telephoto," Pope tells us. "It allows me to get a close image from far away" "lord of the dorks," Kie teases I nudge her lightly. "For definitive proof of witness payoff we're gonna need quality glass," Pope states I spot Ward running down the street with a duffle bag "guys he's there I see him." "Yo, get down," JJ tells us. "And there's Gavin," Pope says. "Where are you going, you son of a bitch?" Gavin and Ward both head into a building that's under construction. "No, no, no I'm losing them shit. Where's he going?" "Hold on," JJ tells us. He heads towards the building next to us. He whistles to get our attention. "Yo! Hey. I found something. Come here." We head around the building. "We gotta get up top, ladies first my love" he said I giggled and blushed a little he looked so hot wet I couldn't help but imagine him in the shower with no clothes on woah ok not the time for that "That'll work," Pope says. "Hurry up," Kie tells us. "Don't wanna miss anything." We rush to the edge of the roof Pope pulls out his telephoto thing again. "You rolling, Pope?" JJ asks "are you getting it?" Kie asks. "Yeah, yeah, I see them," Pope tells us. I can see Ward and Gavin since the second floor is missing a wall. But I can't tell what they're saying, "ward just handed Gavin something. I think it's a duffel bag," Pope tells us. "Guys, I think this is a payoff," JJ says Pope continues his play by play. "Gavin doesn't look happy about something. It looks like he's yelling at Ward." "Geez I wonder why?" I ask sarcastically JJ chuckles lightly. "I don't know, but he sure looks mad," Pope states. I can see Gavin and Ward fighting with one another "shit," Pope remarks "what's going on?" Kie asks. "I dunno they're fighting over something," Pope tells us "they're really going at it," JJ states. "This can't be good," I say "ward's kicking the shit out of Gavin," Pope tells us. "What are they fighting over?" JJ asks "what's going on, Pope?" I question. "I don't know," Pope tells us "I'm trying to see holy shit. Ward's got a gun." "I bet thats the murder weapon," Kie reasons. I gasp as I hear a gunshot. " Oh my god." I hid down behind the edge. JJ grabs me and holds onto me super tight "oh my god," JJ gasps. "What the hell?" Pope says "no, no, no, no," Kie says. "That did not just happen." "What is happening?" I ask "tell me you just got that," JJ states. "Enough to put this asshole away for life," Pope tells him. I jump and shake when I hear another gunshot. "This is freaking crazy," Pope states I can see Ward looking down from the building. "Get down, get down," Pope tells us. "Holy shit." "I think we should go right now," JJ states "I agree 100% let's go before we're murdered " I say. JJ's grip tightens around me. "Yeah," Pope tells me "so let's go, please," I say. "Hold on, he's coming out," Pope tells us. "There he goes. I think he's looking for the gun, I think the gun just went down the drain. He's looking for it. Hey he's looking for the gun." "Hold on," Kie says."What are you doing?" I ask starting to feel extremely scared. "Kie what are you doing?" JJ asks Kie stands up straight. "What is wrong with you?" she shouts at Ward. "Murderer." JJ grabs her and covers her mouth. "Get down. Kie keeps yelling. "Kie stop it," I beg her "Kiara, are you crazy?" Pope asks. "What are you doing?" JJ questions."I don't care if he hears me. He's a murderer," Kie insists. "Yeah, Kie, and he's gonna murder us if he knows we're here," I warn. "Guys he sees us," Pope warns. "Are you serious?" JJ asks tightened his grip on me more, "come on, we gotta go. He's coming," Pope tells us. "We gotta get the hell out of here," JJ says taking my hand in his, We rush to the ladder to get off the roof. Pope is the one to get there first. "Come on Pope! Go! Hurry!" I shout feeling my anxiety starting up, I don't know how but JJ and Pope both fall off the ladder as Kie is climbing down. I quickly follow her, "What the heck happened?" I ask running over to JJ to make sure he's ok. "No. No. No. No. No." Pope is picking up the broken pieces of the telephoto."Are you kidding me? You fumbled it," JJ says. "You kicked me in the face," Pope tells him. JJ points to Kie. "She stepped on my hand." "I was trying to hurry," Kie tells him. "Guys not the time fight when we're still alive Run" I say. We hoop over the fence to get away from Ward. We get into the car and sit for a moment trying to understand what the hell just happened. "Could someone fill me in on what the frick just happened?" JJ says pulling me towards him to help calm me down. Pope groans in anger. "Holy crap. I can't believe it. Wait, wait. What were they fighting over?" JJ asks. "Uh... it was... it was a gun, the one Rafe used. He must have kept it," Pope tells him. "Of course! Of course! The murder weapon!" JJ shouts "pick up. Pick up," Kie says. "Who are you calling?" I ask trying to slow down my pounding heart. "Who do you think?" Kie counters. "The cops?" Pope asks. "Who else am I supposed to call?" Kie asks "why would you call the police?" JJ asks. "That's Ward!" "Shut up!" Kie yells. "Hello? Hi, somebody's been shot at the... at the Grand Street construction site. You guys need to hurry because he's dying! I don't know if he's already dead or not! You guys need to hurry please!" "We gotta go. We're sitting ducks," JJ says still holding on tight to me "we can't stay here," I agree finally feeling my anxiety going away slowly. "What do you want me to do?" Kie asks. "Just drive," Pope tells her. We drive away, only coming back to the construction site once we're sure Ward will be gone. But when we went back the cops were there but there was no body and no gun just fabulous. "Look, the body was right here, and this is where the maniac claimed his next victim," Kie tells Shoupe. "Uh-huh. His next victim?" Shoupe asks sounding like he didn't believe a word of it wonderful. Kie nods "yeah.""Right. How long ago did you say this happened?" Shoupe asks."Forty five minutes ago, Shoupe," JJ tells him I could tell he was getting angry I reached for his hand and squeezed it lightly. "Okay and so, Ward Cameron just popped one off and shot him," Shoupe says I nod my head. "Yes." Still the imagine clear in my head, "Execution style?" Shoupe asks. "And then cleaned it all up in forty five minutes?" "Yeah," Kie says. "Obviously," Pope states. "We filmed the entire thing," I tell him Shoupe looks up from his notepad. "You filmed it?" "Yes, but we can't show it to you because Kie stepped on JJ's hand, and then he kicked Pope, and then Pope dropped the camera, and 'cause it's a piece of shit it broke," I explain. "This is a telephoto, and we needed to get a long distance image and... and... and I fell and it broke, so the video is basically unusable," Pope tells Shoupe "but... but we were there, and we're wit..." Shoupe cuts him off, "So the dog ate your homework?" "No, Shoupe. I know it sounds..." Kie starts. Shoupe cuts her off, "Look, I don't know what you kids expect me to do with this. You drag me out here in the middle of the night for a whole lot of nothing" "no, it's not nothing," Kie tells him. "Except for some crazy stories about how Ward Cameron's out on a random killing spree," Shoupe says. "We're not making this up!" JJ shouts I squeezed his hand tighter "it's not a random killing spree," I insist. "Gavin was his pilot. Okay, he was paying him hush money because he was on the tarmac that day." "Gavin was blackmailing Ward because he had the gun that Rafe used to kill Peterkin," Kie tells him. "and then he called him here and tried to pay him off," JJ says. "But it wasn't enough, and then so he shot him." "Exactly," Pope says. "With the murder weapon," JJ states "how do you know that?" Shoupe asks. "Pope did this thing with his phone. He, like, put it in his car and..." Kie starts Pope cuts her off, "I heard their whole conversation." "You wiretapped him?" Shoupe asks "is that bad?" I ask even though I had a pretty good idea what his answer is going to be. "Stop," Shoupe tells us. "Just stop. I've had enough" he starts to walk away. "What are you talking about?" JJ asks. "Are you gonna look the other way again?""You ever heard about the boy who cried wolf?" Shoupe remarks he does think we're lying wonderful, we follow after him. "Why would we make this up?" I ask. "Why can't you believe us for once?" JJ asks gripping my hand even tighter. "Waste of my goddamn time," Shoupe remarks "why would we lie?" Kie asks. "Shoupe, I know it sounds crazy. I know that!" Shoupe walks out the front of the building. "All right, there's nothing up there. False alarm. Let's all go home." "No, no, please don't go home," I plead. "No. Why would we make this up?" "Can you just do your job for like twenty minutes?" Kie asks "hey. I... I know..." Shoupe starts. Kie cuts him off, "Just listen. It makes sense!" "I know you're upset," Shoupe says. "And I know you think your friend was innocent." "He is!" I shout now feeling upset and annoyed, "But you weren't there," Shoupe says. "The only actual witnesses who are above ground say the exact opposite. All right? And both of them have a hell of a lot more credibility than any of you right now. I saw your little art project on Ward's wall. Do not do that again." "Oh, come on," Kie remarks, "All right?" Shoupe asks. "Gonna make things a lot harder for the both of us." Shoupe opens the door of his car. "Go home." "At least... at least look for him," Kie pleads. "Someone died tonight." "Get on home to your parents now," Shoupe tells us. "I told you this would happen," JJ says. "Like, you're the one that had to drop the camera." "It was your fault!" Kie shouts, "Oh that was my fault?" JJ asks. "Yeah it was your fault," Kie tells him. "Why do you always take his side? Why do you never take mine?" JJ asks Kie. "It's not his fault Kie" I defend JJ smiles and wraps his arm around my shoulders. "Guys hey!" Pope shouts. "Shut up!" Kie shouts at JJ. "Hey! Hey!" I shout. " stop yelling at him your the one that had to call the cops" "We can still go get the gun," Pope states.
