Pope looked up at John b. "That's what, a three-story fall to the deck?"

The group was currently sitting around an unfinished house in figure eight. Kiara was around somewhere in the house looking around, pope stood down on the wood floor outside, John b standing on top of the roof and JJ and Valentina sat beside each other.

"I give you about a one-in-three chance of survival."

"if you die, can I get the boat?" she smiled up at him, while he glared down at her. From the outside, you would think that John b and Valentina hated each other. However, it was just the brother-and-sister relationship they had.

"Hm."

"Should I do it?" JJ cheered. "Yeah, jump."

"I'll shoot you on the way down." pope took the drill he was playing with and lifted it towards John b. "You'll shoot me?"

"Yep. Pow!" They started pretending to shoot each other. Val stifled a laugh at the sight. The sound was like heaven to popes ear. He had always had a small crush on her, not that she would ever know.

When they had first met many years ago, he didn't like her. He had found her annoying, and tried to ignore her most of the time.

"They're gonna have Japanese toilets with towel warmers" Kiara huffed as she walked out to the others.

"Of course. Why wouldn't they? This used to be a turtle habitat, but who cares about the turtles, I guess?" Valentina threw her an offensive look. "Hey! I care"

"I can't have cold towels." Val hit him on the shoulder. "Can you please not kill yourself?" Kie stepped in.

"Don't spill that beer. I'm not giving you another one."

Right at that moment Val saw the beer flying down from John's hand to the ground.

"You idiot!" she cried out.

"Whoa!"

"Of course you did. Smooth."

Pope groaned "A-plus."

"Hey! Hey, uh, security's here." Valentina looked over JJ's shoulder, only to see the security guard Gary there as usual.

"Let's wrap it up. The boys are early today." JJ went down from the thing they were sitting on and lent a hand toward Val. "Thank you, kind sir," she said and did an awful British accent. JJ just laughed at her.

"Humpty Dumpty, let's roll."

"Gary, is that you?" JJ said.

"Get down." the security guards around we're pretty tired of them. "It's me."

"Gary, good to see you, man!"

"You're asking for it," Val yelled while running.

"Get 'em! They're comin' your way!"  They were running through the house now and at the same time trying not to crash into anything or get taken.

"Hey! Stop!" they kept yelling.

"I got him!" but JJ just turned out of his grip right when Gary had taken him. "Not much of a hugger!"

"JJ come on!" she giggled at her brother figure.

"Go, Pope! Go! Go, go, go, go, go, go!" of course at the same time, the pope face planted when trying to jump over a fence.

"Get up, Pope, fatso's coming." Valentine offered him a hand. "Here you go, come on!"
"come here, you little pricks!"

"Bus is leaving!" John B yelled from the front seat of the car.

"Come on, boys! Whoo"

"Check out Gary, gunnin' for a raise. Come on, Gary!"

"Wait. Slow down. Hey! You little pricks!" Gary complained while trying to catch up with the teens.

"Hey! You're gonna give him a heart attack."

"You're so close! You can do it. There you go." JJ threw the beer to the security guard. And Val was sure that he would be enjoying it later that evening.

"They don't pay you enough, bro." all of them were laughing now. "JJ, stop. Stop." Kiara said.
