As we were kissing, JJ's hands rich down to my ass, he passes my pocket, feeling something, and he then breaks the kiss. "Coral..." He starts smiling, even wider than before.
I smirk back up at him, pulling the gun out of my back pocket. "I did it! We did it, baby!" I scream at the top of my lungs. "The bitches are going to jail!" I give JJ a quick peck on the lips, jumping up and down. JJ laughing at me, which makes me stop, gently shoving him. "Shut up."
He puts his hands above his head, "I didn't even say anything, princess." He smiles, pulling me in for another hug. "Let's go tell the others." I nod, and we race down the street to find Kiara and Pope. We see them, walking side by side, as we get closer, I scream again.
"We did it bitches!" I run up behind Pope, jumping on his back. I quickly jump off as they turn around. I pull the gun out of my pocket and I see their faces light up.
"We're gonna get this son of a bitch, man," JJ exclaims. "You did it, Coral. You did it." He smiles, and we all go in for a group hug.
Pope quickly breaks it off, "Let's get this to Shoupe." Pope tells us.
JJ nods, putting it in his backpack. "Let's get this to Shoupe." He agrees.
We're now in Shoupe's office, JJ just plopped the gun on his desk. I look like an absolute mess, everyone else looks wet, but decent. Shoupe looks up at us, astonished. "So y'all are telling me this is the firearm Rafe Cameron, killed Peterkin with?"
"That's exactly what we're telling you, Shoupe," JJ confirms.
"And the exact same firearm that Ward just used to kill Gavin with," Pope adds.
Shoupe opens his mouth to say something, then closes it, then opens it again. "And where is that corpse, exactly?"
"Didn't you look?" I asked him, "Shouldn't you have to report a murder if anyone tells you it happened?" I'm getting angrier by the minute.
"I checked the hospital. I checked the house. He was out." I roll my eyes, scoffing.
"He was out?" I throw my hands up.
"No shit, 'cause he's dead," JJ yells.
"Just because he's not in the damn house doesn't mean he was a victim of homicide." Shoupe silences us with those words.
"What are you talking about?" I groan, I'm getting more and more pissed by the minute. JJ snatches his hat off his head.
"You gotta be kidding me." He grunts.
Kiara then asks a very important question, "Are you at least gonna send it in for ballistics and shit, or are you just gonna sit on your ass." And... we're about to be kicked out.
"He'll sit there and wax that damn mustache!" JJ adds, his voice raised at every word. "Is that even real?"
"Shut up JJ." I nudge him, this wasn't making anything better for us.
"Oh, I'm sorry, did I hurt his feelings?" I watch as Shoupe walks to his door, and opens it.
"Shut up!" I yelled louder this time.
"Get out." Shoupe gestures to the other side of the door, "I've got work to do." I didn't understand why Shoupe couldn't just dig deeper into this, search town for Gavin, test the gun, and do something!
"Are you serious?" I complain, I wouldn't let this all be for nothing.
"Y'all are smelling up my damn office." He replies, I shake my head walking over to him.
"Did Ward bribe you? This doesn't make any sense." My voice is hushed, I was so ready to lay in my bed. I didn't wait for a response, I just stormed out. All of this for nothing, I almost died for nothing, and JJ and I celebrated for nothing. We kissed for nothing. It made me want to punch a wall.
The rest of the group soon followed me. We went our separate ways, Kiara with Pope, me with JJ. We made it back to the Chatuae and I went straight to the shower. Once I was washed off, I walked out with just a towel, loosely around my chest. I went into the guest room, to grab clothes, I also found JJ, laying on the bed, playing with his rings. "Hey." I sigh, as I scrummage through my wardrobe to find something to wear for bed.
"Hey," he mutters back. "I can't believe that was all for nothing." He sighs.
I nod, "I know, it makes me want to, I don't even know." I couldn't explain what I was feeling. I slipped on my underwear, my towel still on. "Don't look," I tell him as I turn around, to take off the towel and put on a T-Shirt I found in the drawer on.
"Wish I could." He mumbles, making me giggle.
"Must suck," I mutter as I put the T-Shirt on over my head. "You're good now," I tell the blonde once I turn back towards him. He instantly looks up at me and then starts chuckling. "What?" I laugh, confused as fuck.
"Nothing. It's just, that's my shirt." He points to the one I'm wearing.
"Oh," I mumble.
"It looks good on you though, you can keep it." He gets off the bed, gives me a hug, and then pecks me on the lips. "I can't believe I get to do that now." He smiles, kissing me all over the face.
"JJ!" I laugh, stop it!" I shove him away from me, onto the bed.
"Ouch, princess, that hurt. You gotta kiss my booboo." He whines, holding his arm. I roll my eyes, and jump on the bed, wrapping my hands around his chest.
"Night, Jay."
"Night Princess."
