JJ Kiara and Evie dropped Pope off and drove back to John B's house.

"Hey guys, is that John B?" Evie asked looking at a body lying on the dock behind John B's house.

"Shit, yeah it is." Kiara said.

JJ parked the boat and they all got out and walked towards John B, who was fast asleep.

"Should we let him sleep?" JJ asked.

"Yeah, we'll talk to him tomorrow, it's pretty late anyways." Kiara said.

JJ nodded and walked to John B's and Evie's  house. Kiara immediately crashed onto the couch on the porch, while JJ and Evie lay down on Evie's bed.

Evie was pretty tired so she laid down and cuddled up next to JJ.

"Hey Evie?" JJ whispered.

"Mhm?" Evie answered, too tired to respond.

"Remember when I walked away? With the money?" JJ asked softly drawing circled on gar bare arm.

"Yeah." Evie whispered.

"Well I, I've been thinking about what you said and, I don't know why I didn't say it back."
He explained.

"What?" Evie asked, opening her eyes to look at him.

"Evie, I love you too." He whispered as he looked back at her.

Evie smiled and kissed his lips softly. She pulled away soon after and laid her head down on his chest, drifting off to a deep sleep.

When they woke up they saw John B in the kitchen, he explained that he checked to get the gold and that Ward had taken all of it. So now they were on the dock again, trying to figure out how they were gonna handle this situation, while JJ and Evie smoked some weed.

"Are you sure he got everything?" Kiara asked.

"Every bar. The whole enchilada." John B replied, taking off his cast.

"It's not like I expected a happy ending or some shit." He said throwing the cast away.

"John B." Kiara said.

"What, Kie? It's a hairline fracture. Who cares? John B replied.

"You should care, your arm's gonna be messed up for life.'" Kiara replied.

"It's fine, see?" John B said wiggling his fingers.

"Guys!" Evie heard someone in the distance yell, she turned around and saw Pope running towards them, didn't he have that interview to go to?

"Oh god, I ran all the way here." Pope said standing next to them, all out of breath.

"You all right?" John B asked.

"How was the interview Pope?"
JJ asked.

"Don't ask." Pope replied, trying to catch his breath.

"JB, look, I'm sorry dude, about
everything." Pope said.

"It's fine." John B replied calmly.

"But I don't have a lot of time, and I have information that is tactically relevant." Pope stuttered.

"What is it?" Evie asked.

"So, before I had my interview, my dad said he was going down to the private airstrip to cut palms for Cameron's big plane. Because it was too heavy, it needed a longer landing strip to take off. So, I'm there shitting myself in my interview, thinking to myself. 'Hm, why would Cameron need a longer airstrip to take off?' What could be so heavy to weigh it down?"
Pope told them, making everyone sit up straight.

"Gold." JJ replied.

"That's right." John B said.

"Exactly! Guys, this is our chance, but it leaves tonight, and we have to go!" Pope said.

"Guys, we can't give up now." Kiara said.

"What's the plan?" Evie asked smiling.

"We're gonna steal that shit back." John B replied.

They all cheered exited and ran off the dock and towards the van, time to steal some gold, again..

They were sitting in the van, JJ loading up a gun while Evie  rolled a joint.

"We go in there, guns a-blazin' make Ward Cameron beg for mercy, abscond with as much as gold as possible and vàmonos, get the hell out of there." JJ explained.

"Send that shit right down the intracoastal." John B added.

"Wait for the weather" Kiara said.

"Exit to cuba." Pope finished.

"Cuba? No man, Xcalak, Jewel of the Yucatan, lobsters so thick, mangoes, and no word for money." JJ said, making Evie smile.

"Let's do this shit." Evie said.

When they arrived they all ran towards the gate.

"What's the plan? Broad strokes." Kie said.

"I don't think we got that far" John B replied while they all looked through the gate.

"They're loading up the gold." Pope said while looking through his spyglass. John B took it from him and looked through it.

"It's Ward." He said, pointing towards a car, suddenly he looked shocked and lowered the spyglass.

"What?" Evie asked.

"What?" Kie now asked as well.

"It's Sarah." John B answered.

"She's with him?!"

Pope asked. John B nodded and looked through the spyglass again.

"Wait a minute." He said

"What is it?" Evie asked.

"He's hurting her." John B replied.

"What?" JJ and Kiara asked.

"They're fighting, holy shit."
John B said and handed the spyglass to Kie as he walked back. .

"Wait so she-" JJ said confused.

"Hey! What are you doing?" Pope asked when John B entered the van.

"John B, where are you going?" Kiara asked and we all ran towards the van, but John B drove right through the gates.

"Shit!" Evie yelled while watching her brother drive himself right in front of the plane. She covered her eyes with her hands, not wanting to see this.

"Please tell me when it's over."
Evie groaned

"He's alive! It's fine, he's good." Pope said relieved, Evie uncovered her eyes and looked at the Van that stood in front of the plane, the window was all broken by the gate, too bad, she loved that van.

"What are we gonna do now?" Evie asked.

"I- I don't know." Pope said anxious.

Evie groaned and leaned against JJ, Pope and Kiara still hugged up because of what just happened.

"Wait guys, do you hear that?" Kie asked, pulling Pope off of her, they listened closely as they heard a siren.

"Shit!" Evie said looking at JJ in fear.

"I can't get arrested!" Pope said.

"I'm on probation." JJ explained.

"Look, we're no good if we're all
in jail." Kiara said.

"All right, let's make a run for it then." Evie said, everyone nodded and JJ grabbed her hand, all of them running off quickly.
