𝗠𝗔𝗖𝗞𝗘𝗡𝗭𝗜𝗘 𝗦𝗔𝗧 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗛 𝗦𝗨𝗧𝗧𝗢𝗡 in a rustic modernly designed loft that Sutton had fessed up to owning. They spent the last couple of hours selecting details and stories to updated each other on. While Mackenzie shared every little detail, Sutton opted to leave out more than enough information to protect both of them.

Sutton had always been a mystery, he spent his how teenage years sneaking around doing god knows what. When there Father, Alexander Jones, had caught him in the act of something, Sutton left with out a word. The last three years he wasn't spoken of, Alexander backhanded a local who mentioned his name at the county club two years ago and the one time Mackenzie was caught looking him up on Facebook, Alexander smashed her laptop into bits.

"I'm still lacking an understanding of how you became friends with pouges, practically dated one, and you're still Rafe's interest." Sutton said slowly as he sipped his scotch.

Maybe Mackenzie didn't tell her brother every detail, she left out the hunt for the gold and the involvement there parents had in the sheriffs murder leaving it at the statement and John B was innocent.

"Maybe I didn't tell you everything, Sudds, I'd like to keep something to myself." She smiled softy, "Knowledge is power, and I'd like to remain the one with it all."

Sutton raised his glass as if saying touche and grinned, "The one good thing Father dearest taught me. Speaking of him, have you mentioned i'm back in town?"

"No," She frowned in confusion, "You asked to do it on your own terms."

"Perfect," he nodded, "I have to leave again for some time- but I promises I'll be back. Swear on your life."

"Do you get to tell me where you're going, or is this another secret of the mysterious Sutton Sawyer Jones."

"The Bahamas." His voice was smooth, the sound of the glass hitting the table startled Mackenzie almost as much as his next words, "I have some business to terminate."

. . .

"So, we going to the Bahamas or what?" JJ questioned almost cockily as he walked towards the boat.

"There's no way we're getting to the Bahamas." Pope shook his head.

They all where thinking the same thing in this moment. How nice it would have been to have the kook princess, Mackenzie Jones, on there side once again. They knew deep down that she didn't care about anyone but herself, that it was simply guilt for what happened to Sarah that's making her speak to them again.

But, even if they had her on there side willing to buy plan tickets to the Bahamas, then what? How would they clear John B's name?

"John B will get nabbed sooner or later. So if we're gonna clear his name, we need to have done it yesterday." Kie pointed out.

"I'll tell you how we do it." JJ spoke up, standing up and moving to pace in front of everyone.

"So you have it all planned out?" Pope questioned, his brows furrowing, wondering what amazing plan JJ has come up with.

"As a matter of fact, I do." He paused, taking a seat and grinning. "We kidnap Rafe."

"We kidnap Rafe, tie him up and stick the gun in his mouth and just wait till he starts squawking." JJ smirked at his own plan, making finger guns as he did so.
