The group of friends followed the directions that the pawnshop lady gave them. It seemed like they had driving forever and all they saw was trees. Bridger felt unsettled, the road they were taking become somewhat familiar to him. "So they keep the money out here?" Pope voiced, he himself feeling weird about the situation.

"That's what she said." JJ nodded, then laughed. "That's what she said—"

"Stop." Pope immediately said, making his face fall.

Bridger shook his head but cracked a smile, not bothering to comment on the boy's dirty jokes anymore.

"I've never even heard of Resurrection Drive." Sarah stated and glanced at Bridger. "Have you?"

"Cause you're rich." JJ replied.

Kiara and Bridger rolled their eyes. "You haven't heard of it either." She defended the girl.

Sarah muttered a small thank you under her breath.

Bridger glanced out the window of the Twinkie, his eyes narrowing as he racked his brain. "It feels. . . somewhat familiar? I can't exactly remember?"

JJ hummed and leaned forward. "Is it one of the routes we took on our many late night drives?" He said with a smirk.

John B squinted his eyes. "I'm not sure if I want to ask about that."

The smirk on JJ's face and in his voice caused Bridger to give him a look, pushing his face away. "Stop. But no, I don't think so. . . I'm trying to remember."

"There's nothing but weeds out here." Kie said mentioned, looking out the same window that he was.

"All right, just 'cause it's just weeds, doesn't mean it's like—" JJ was cut off by the sound of police sirens going off behind them.

The teenagers immediately panicked. "What the hell?" The Kook voiced and sat up.

"Cops? Out here?" Kiara said in disbelief.

"God! Are you kidding me?" JJ groaned.

"What did we do?"

"Why are we getting pulled over?"

"John B, were you speeding?"

"This thing only goes so fast, Bridge." As they began to panic, John B quickly turned to them. "Chill, guys. Stash that."

JJ quickly hid the gold under one of the seats.

"Did you bring the gun?"

He quickly shook his head. "No, okay? Everyone told me to leave it back at the place."

Bridger patted his back. "That's good, J. That's good."

The panic rose to high heaven when the John B's door opened and revealed a man wearing a black mask that covered his face and he pointed a gun at him. They all immediately froze, Bridger instinctively moving in front of JJ. John B froze in the driver's seat.
