JJ WAS the first Pogue to climb the wall, of course, before helping up his sister and her girlfriend. They all lined up on the grass on their stomachs, watching the guards and their dogs pacing through the gardens through the long grass.
Pope whispered, "Okay, Portis wasn't kidding."
"That's a fortress." John B replied, "This is much bigger than Ward."
JJ listed, "We got two towers, patrollers, ATVs, possibly snipers."
"There's no way we're getting past that." Sarah added.
Cleo suggested, "We gotta help her. We can take them if we stay towards the street line."
Rory tried to grab Cleo as she started running towards another hidden spot, away from the guards and their dogs. The group crouched around in distress, as JJ peeked over the grass, motioning hand signals to the group below.
"What?" John B whispered confusedly, "JJ, use your words. Words."
"There's two walking. Four watching." Rory explained to the confused group, as they slowly turned around to her. She shrugged, "What? Haven't you seen any spy films?"
"Thank you." JJ agreed, "I was saying they're right there."
Pope stressed, "Then just say that!"
"There's an opening down that way." Cleo pointed, "As soon as the guards turn around, we just sneak in through the back."
The group slowly followed Cleo, as JJ suggested, "Do you know what we should be doing? Go down, take the sewers up-"
"What sewers?" Sarah turned around in confusion.
Pope whisper-yelled, "This is an all grass land-"
Suddenly, a click echoed from underneath the Pogues feet, as they all stopped arguing. A continuous sound beeped, as Sarah exhaled, "What was that?"
"I know that sound. Hold on." JJ followed the beeping noise, before picking something up from the ground, "What is that?"
Pope explained, "It's a game cam."
"Oh shit!" JJ panicked, as Rory took it from his hands and attempted to stomp on it.
Pope stressed, "No, no. Stop it. Give me that. Pull the battery."
"Quick, before it transmits." John B added.
"Do you think we got it before it transmitted?" Rory questioned, as the group stayed silent, listening for any distant noise. The eruption of dogs barking became clear within the distance, as the group took a step back in worry.
"No." Pope muttered.
"Dogs, dogs." John B panicked, "We gotta go. Go, go, go!"
"Fuck!" Rory exclaimed, as she began running as fast as she could, yet she still lagged behind the group. She looked behind her, noticing the various vehicles chasing them, before John B grabbed her arm and pulled her along with him.
"Dogs. Go! Go, go." JJ shouted, as the two animals had been let loose from the vehicles, chasing the Pogues towards the wall. JJ climb to the top of the wall first, his main priority being to help his sister.
The six made it over the wall, as the dogs tried to jump up to catch them. Sarah jumped down to the other side, leaning her back against the wall, as the Pogues panted in defeat. Rory coughed continuously, her lungs still not as stable, whilst JJ's hand fisted into a ball.

Cleo brought the Pogues to a familiar plan building, which she had spent many nights inside whilst on her adventures with Terrance. The building looked worn down, it's white paint crumbling off of the walls. The floor was pure rock, as JJ looked out of the windows, though the glass was non-existent.
