"Well, that was fun."

"Shut the fuck up JJ."

"Could have warned us sooner." He carried on, batting Carmen away when she tried to swing at him. "We would have, except Pope was on the math team!" Kie accused Pope as she sat with a hand above her eyes, attempting to block the sun.

"You were on the math team?" JJ teased as he clapped him on the shoulder. "Old news JJ. I found out two years ago when he used the lie that he got a 'detention'. Pope and detention don't even belong in the same sentence." Carmen chirped, squeezing Pope's face into hers teasingly.

"The cops took everything like it was a crime scene." John B concluded seriously, ignoring Pope who was attempting to wrestle his way out of Carmen's grip.
"Did you guys find anything?" He asked in his moment of struggle.

"Did we find anything? No, I don't think so. Oh, yeah, we did." JJ laughed as he pulled the gun and a stack of money out of his waistband, holding them up proudly.

"What the hell?"

"Dude, what?"

"mierda, I forgot to grab a stack."

"Dude, chill. Come on." JJ tried as Pope continued to freak out. "Why take that from a crime scene?" He cried at his friend incredulously.

"Better than cops having it."

"You serious?" Kie asked as she turned to Carmen, shooting her a disappointed look. "I didn't know he took it!" Carmen bursted with her hands in surrender, sending her own offended look to her.

"I'm gonna lose my merit scholarship." Pope babbled in distress as he hid his face in his hands. "Hey, hey, hey. Sh, sh, sh, sh, sh." JJ tried in calming him down, putting the gun to Pope's lip to quieten him, getting it shoved away as soon as it was close.

"At least you have us, right?" JJ acknowledged, putting an arm over his shoulders, oblivious to the issue Pope was having.

"I'm living the nightmare." Pope wailed in response, Carmen laughing at him in the background.

"Scooter? Oh, God!"

Carmen watched empathetically as Lana Grubbs cried out for her husband, clinging onto the wheeled frame that held his dead body. After a few seconds, she looked away in fear of crying as well. She didn't know Scooter Grubbs all too well except that he was a nice guy who was poorer than her.

"Who's that?" John B asked stupidly, earning a dirty, upset look from Carmen who received a sympathetic rub on the shoulder from Pope. "What do you mean whose that?" Carmen asked, not knowing how he didn't just hear Lana shout Scooter's name.

"It's Scooter Grubbs. He was out during the storm. Check out this pic I got." A young girl who Carmen can vaguely remember her name being Avery, spoke as she turned her phone towards the group.

"Dead body." She sang causing Carmen to grimace and turn away, shaking her head in disgust at how she could just show a dead body off like it's cool.

"It's not just a dead body, it's Scooter who was a person. You should probably delete that or at least stop showing it around to people." She stormed with a hard look at the girl, only getting a shrug from the girl making her take a deep breath before she took the phone out of her hands and deleted it herself.
