THE POGUES WERE ON A MISSION. JJ had gone out first, followed closely by John B. Liv was next, then Kiara was the last to step on the deck. They split paths right away, JJ leading Liv to one of the hall's in the forward hull. They stayed pressed against the walls as the people started to trickle in.

Voices bounced off the metal and echoes through the ship as Liv tried to discreetly look out at them. "Hey, Livvy," JJ whispered. "How many?"

"Three," She mouthed, watching as JJ put three more fingers up and adding to the total count. As she turned her head back to the walkway, she saw Rose, Wheezie and Rafe walking to the hull. She frowned as she heard the young girl question what was happening, but she quickly turned to JJ and told him there were four more people. "That's all the crew already," She said quietly, eyeing the blond next to her.

"Except Ward. We need Ward," JJ retaliated.

"We can't wait," Liv pleaded, her gaze focused on his features as he mulled over her words.

With one nod, the couple rushed over to the door and slammed it shut. The crew struggled on the other side to try and get it back open, but somehow Liv and JJ were able to keep it closed enough for the blond to attach a lock to it. The faint yelling of crew members on the other side had JJ sprinting off to the other side of the room, quickly spilling out that there was another door. "Shit!" Liv cursed as she started running after the boy.

JJ closed it just in time, letting out a sigh of relief when it locked. He nodded his head towards the descending ladder, leading both of them towards it. "Time to jack this loot," He spoke as he walked closer to the giant box. Liv followed closely behind, her eyes widening at the sight of the box. "There she is," JJ grinned, revealing the golden cross. "Surf trip." He looked over to Liv as he stood up, kissing the side of her head.

Liv jumped when the ceiling above them opened, but relaxed as she saw Pope standing above them. JJ cheered as he saw his friend and wrapped an arm around Liv's waist so he could pull her closer. "The time where people do shit to us and we just sit back and take it is over," Pope called down to the couple, who just agreed in excitement.

The pair started to tie up the cross, waiting for Pope to lower the large crane down to them. When they were able to get the cross attached to the hook, JJ called for Pope to bring it up. Trying to direct Pope was a feat of its own, but thankfully the cross reached the outside air without any injuries.

"Let's go help John B load it up on the lifeboat," JJ said once the cross was up high enough. The boy had grabbed Liv's hand, pulling her along and taking them up closer to the top of the ship. "I don't see him," He muttered as they reached the lifeboat storage area.

"Of course. There's more of you."

A man stood in front of them holding a very sharp weapon. "Get down on your knees."

"Yeah, that's not gonna happen," JJ answered, stepping in front of the redhead.

The man lunged for him but he was quick to dodge, then pin the man's arm on the wall. The blond delivered a swift punch to his face, accompanied by Liv slamming a hatch door into the man right after. He fell to the ground, his breathing heavy. "Where's John B?" JJ yelled, towering over the man.

Liv busied herself with calling out for John B and looking over the side of the ship to see if they had just missed him. JJ and the man continued to fight mercilessly behind her, and she couldn't even tell when JJ had hit the ground. All she heard was the frantic yell of her name before she whipped around and ducked to avoid the weapon being swung at her.
