Kie had found Sarah and John B, not far from camp, but they were all looking for the others. 

The island was quiet, apart from the occasional waves heard from a distance. 

John B was leading them 3. When Kie had found them and explained everything, she felt a little safer. However, the longer they walked, the more she missed JJ's company, and hoped he was okay.

Suddenly, both Sarah and John B ducked, snapping Kie back to reality. She ducked with them as John B put a finger over his mouth.

"He's behind us" Sarah mouthed, when she saw Kie's confused expression. 

John B's eyes moved from left to right, and then he whispered in the quietest voice possible "Keep walking. If JJ is following him, and he's alone right now, it means he hasn't found anyone else"

Kie's eyes widened when he mentioned JJ. JJ. What if he was in danger? And WHY was she only thinking of him? Pope and Cleo could be in danger.

They resumed walking, and all flinched when they heard a loud crisp from under Kie's foot.

She slammed her eyes shut. Please don't let creepy dude know we're close. Please don't let creepy dude know we're close. Please don't let creepy dude know we're close.

~JJ's POV~

JJ had been following creepy dude for a while now. He wondered if Kie had found the others, if they were hiding. He didn't even know when he could stop following this guy.

So far, everything went according to plan. Until...

Suddenly, he heard a loud crunch, which caused him to gasp. Please don't let creepy dude know they're close. 

That's all he could think about right now. He knew the crunch was one of them.

However, the mysterious guy did hear it, and sprung his head towards the source of the sound.

Shit

"Stop creeping up on me, I'll get you first" The strange man laughed, breaking the silence.

Without a doubt, JJ sprung himself onto the man letting out a grunt as they started fighting.

~Kiara's POV~

JJ had just started fighting with that man, and Kie wanted to help him, but John B was holding her down.

"If you help him now, the guy will know we're all here." He had said when Kie stood up.

Sarah ran off to find Pope and Cleo, as she couldn't get kidnapped if the guy was here, with the rest of them. 

JJ had the lead first, and in between punches, threw a few "Asshole" "What do you want!?"

Kiara was devastated to see how well JJ could defend himself. She knew how he had learnt that. 

However, the man got angrier and angrier, and JJ, weaker and weaker.

John B told Kie to stay hidden, as he joined the fight to help JJ.

It annoyed Kie that John B thought she couldn't handle a fight, but knowing she had been unconscious only moments ago, she shrugged and followed his instructions.

Kiara had no other choice than to stare at that awful scene of the man getting stronger, JJ weaker, and John B angrier. 

~JJ's POV~ 

This only reminded him of the arguments he had with his dad, although his dad's punches had an end. 

At first, JJ felt very confident, beating this man up. This man who had hurt Kie, and who would have done something terrible to them all if they hadn't stoped him. 

But overtime, he could feel the ache in my fist, and the tiredness of his arm. Quickly, the man was over JJ, and instead of attacking, he was defending myself.

As soon as JJ saw John B come out of behind the bushes, he felt relieved, but also worried. JJ knew that it meant Sarah was also hidden there, and probably Kie. 

That thought distracted him long enough for the guy to punch him so hard in the jaw that it knocked JJ out.

~Kiara's POV~

I gasped when I saw JJ's body fall limply on the ground, unconscious.

"JJ!" I immediately didn't hesitate, and stood up. 

Screw hiding

Thankfully, John B could handle this man. I grabbed JJ's chest and started by shaking him.

"JJ?" The chaos of the fight going on around me couldn't stop me from worrying for my friend. 

"YOU!" The man managed to say to me, before John B's punch hit him right on his nose.

"Why are you here?" John B said in a menacing voice when the man was tied to the ground

The man winced, which made John B repeat his question. 

At the same time, JJ decided to wake up. I sighed, because I was mad at myself. Of course JJ always wakes up after passing out. I didn't need to be that worried.

"I-I was hired" The man said, closing his eyes. 

"Well," JJ winced of pain " took you long enough. Why did you tell him but not me? Am I not scary? John B, how? Is it because I'm blond?" He looked genuinely annoyed that it took John B to fight the man to get an answer

That made me smile. Classic JJ. Always finds a way to say something funny

John B rolled his eyes at JJ's comment, and barked at the man "Who hired you?" 

"Ward Cameron"
