"Oh! Alright!" JJ yells at Pope and Kiara who are both currently passing the Chatue in the HMS Pogue.
"Have a good time!" Sarah laughs.
"Use protection!" I call out making them both shoot me a bird.
"There he goes," JJ turns to John B, "He jacked your boat, dude."
"Pope's poking on the Pogue." John B says, in almost shock. That's when we hear two car doors shut, well everyone but JJ hears it.
"You should probably-" John B cuts off JJ.
"Wait, wait, wait."
"What?" JJ responds. "Your chicken?" JJ laughs, slightly.
"No, I heard a car door." John B rolls his eyes. JJ begins to balk like a chicken, making John B lightly smack him in the face, and then cover his mouth. We all continue to stare past the chicken coop when we heard one crunch of a branch.
"Nope. Not doing this. Where do we hide?" I ask the group, starting to panic.
"Um... you two get up in the tree," JJ tells me and Sarah. We look at each other and then help each other climb into a high spot in the tree. I hear JJ and John B take the fire out and then climb up after us.
"Could you see us from the ground?" I whisper to JJ, whose next to me.
He shakes his head, "No, not unless we looked closely." I sigh in relief. A couple of minutes later, we see Rafe, standing at the steaming firepit, and we hear the back door open, so Rafe's with someone.
"Where the hell are you," Rafe mutters, softly. Rafe starts to pace back and forth, which is when I notice that he has a gun in hand. That's when someone comes back outside. "Anything?"
"No, there ain't no shit in there, bro." The person replies, I quickly realize that it's Barry. I look over at JJ, whose already looking at me.
"No? Nothing?" Rafe seems to be getting a little angry.
"No. Nothing, Rafe." Barry replies, angry as well. Barry also has a gun in hand.
"There were obviously just here because of the smoke, man," Rafe calls out, pointing at the burnt pile of wood.
"Yeah, yeah. Great observation, Boy Scout!" Barry laughs.
"Well, they're not far, you know?" Rafe replies.
"Smokey the bear! Look at you, bro!" I think they're literally insane. Like hardcore insane. They're joking around while they're trying to kill us.
"They gotta be around here somewhere," Rafe mutters to himself, still pacing back and forth.
"P4L!" Barry laughs. They must have noticed the tree engraving.
"Well. Shit." Rafe laughs, in a kind of creepy way. Somehow his laugh sounded like some evil villain, I didn't like it.
"So, your sister's a Pogue for life, huh, Rafe?" I see the panic on Sarah's face at even the mention of her. "Now, who would've thought."
"Shit!" Rafe screams out, making me flinch, and Sarah as well.
"Alright, chill," Barry tells him. Rafe decided to shoot right at the tree engraving, but Barry pulls his arm back, making Rafe shoot higher in the tree as well. One bullet hit the tree branch that JJ's head was just next to. Another one hit right below my foot. "You're gonna get our asses busted, dog," Barry complains to Rafe. I truly believe that Rafe needs help at this point. Maybe no one in his family cares, or notices. "Let's bounce. Let's go." Barry leads the way back to their car.
