S1:C3 The Forbidden Zone

Kiara pulled the fed-ex envelope out of the wall. She walked over to the entrance of the hole, passing through the envelope to John B. "That's not gold," Pope said, his eyes fixed on the envelope in John B's hands. 

John B's eyes widened as he read the words on the envelope. "Holy shit," he breathed. "This is from my dad."

Nate helped Kiara down, having his hands on her waist while she had her hands on his shoulders, they both stared at each other until they heard JJ's voice, making them go back to reality.

"Code red. Code red," JJ muttered, his eyes darting to the flashing headlights pulling up.

"Square groupers! Square groupers!" Kie spoke quietly, urgency in her voice. "Go. Go!"

"It's the guys who robbed your house." JJ says as they hide behind the mausoleum.

"Lights!" Kie says to them and they all quickly switch off their lights except for JJ.

"Light! Turn your light off, man!" Pope says, turning off JJ's light for him.

"It's the guys who robbed your house," JJ told John B, his hand reaching for the gun in his pocket. The group sprinted for a nearby wall, hiding behind it as the headlights grew closer. "Light," Pope and Kiara whispered, urging the others to turn off their flashlights.

"Homies got a gun," Nate warned.

"Screw this," Kie muttered, taking off running.

The four pogues ran after Kie, who was leading the way to a closed-off fence. They scrambled over it but Pope got stuck, his shorts snagging on the fence.

"Guys, guys!" he shouted, trying to get their attention.

"Shit," Nate muttered, looking back at him before he and Kie ran over to Pope.

"Pope, come on, man!" JJ reached for the gun in his pocket, but John B was quicker, snatching it away.

"We got you."

"Your gonna rip me!" Pope warned Nate and Kie who were helping to free him. "Guys, you're gonna rip me!"

"You're fine. Come on!" Nate and Kie managed to free Pope from the spikes.

"Pope, come on!" John B called out, urging the group to move.

"Nice pants! let's go, dude." Nate smirked at Pope before he grabbed onto Kiara's hand as they ran for the Twinkie, the group broke out in hysterics, teasing Pope. Kiara opened the door, still laughing harder than she had ever laughed before. "Come on!"

The Pogues got into the van, JJ slamming the door shut as John B started the engine. They drove away from the scene, the tension slowly dissipating as they made their way back to the chateau. Jokes and laughter filled the van, a sense of relief washing over them.

JJ was making himself a peanut butter sandwich. "Bro, that has mold on it."  Nate walked passed his brother, watching him.

"I'll just pull off the bad parts," JJ shrugged, unconcerned. "Plus, mold is good for you. It's just a natural organism."

"Right.." Nate opened the fridge, grabbing a water and opening the tap, then taking a sip of it.

"You want some, bro?" JJ turned towards his brother, and Nate shook his head.

"JJ, Nate, get over here," Kiara called out.

The group gathered around a table, with John B sitting and the rest of the friends standing over him. The Routledge boy glanced at the package Kiara had found, anticipation building in his chest as he ripped the top open to reveal what's inside the package.
