"No pogue left behind."

--☆--☆--☆--






The moment her arms went around him everything faded away. All of the rage, the fear, even the pain, it was gone. It was almost like it was never there in the first place.

All she cared about was her arms around JJ's and his lips on hers. The light soft kisses he pressed all over her face was all that mattered. His strong arms around her waist, pulling their bodies so close together. Nothing else was important.

The second the rest of the pogues knew this wasn't a trap they all ran out of their hiding spot. They reached Kiara first, immediately embracing her. They were laughing telling how much they missed her and Emerson. Except of course, Emerson didn't hear any of this, she was still busy holding JJ like she'd never be able to hug him again.

"I thought I'd never see you again," JJ whispered, a genuine fear obvious in his voice.

She held him even tighter, too scared to admit she had the same fear, "You can't get rid of me that easily."

"They didn't hurt you right?" He pulled away just enough to look at her face. He looked her over, making sure there were no bruises or cuts left behind. He could see how red her eyes were and that the circles under her eyes were darker than they normally were, but there was nothing else visible to the eye.

Emerson shook her head, "No, they didn't hurt me," she told him. And while yes Singh didn't physically hurt her he did make her watch as he basically executed a man, but JJ didn't need to know that. In fact there's a lot JJ didn't need to know.

"Hey guys!" John B yelled from behind the couple.

"Guys!"

Emerson laughed as she moved out of JJ's grasp, she had almost forgotten that the rest of the pogues were there. Without a second thought she ran right towards her brother. She hugged him with as much ferocity as a mother bear.

"Please never get kidnapped again," He asked her, trying his best to laugh off his fears.

"I'll try my best," She laughed as he let go of her. Sarah was next to grab onto the Rhodes girl, squeezing her almost as tightly as JJ did. "Sarah, I can't breathe."

"I don't care," Sarah told her.

When Sarah finally let go John B and Pope were next to hug her. The two boys, who were now more like brothers to her than friends, laughed as they hugged her. "I didn't think we'd ever see you guys again."

"Yeah, well we're here now," Emerson looked over at Kiara but neither of them smiled.

"Are you guys kidding? This you?" JJ asked, now looking at the boat the girls got off of.
