Summer Lovin'

28

The next morning JJ and I were woken up early by the sun. We stayed on the boat for a while just talking laughing and cracking open a few beers.

It didn't feel like very long but it had been a few hours and we eventually got a call for kie saying to come to the chateau.

"You sure he got everything?" Kie asked John b right after he told us how Ward had stolen the gold. It was the worst feeling knowing that we did all the work for him to just take it all.

"Every bar" John b responded sounding irritated and helpless at the same time.

I shook my head and sighed not wanting any of this to be real. "The whole enchilada" he added

I glance over to see him struggling to take his arm out of his cast. I cringed at the sight of his pain.

"It's not like I expected a happy ending or some shit" he continued and threw his cast across the dock.

"John b" I said knowing he shouldn't take it off

"What Hannah?" He asked sounding irritated by me just saying his name

"It's a hairline fracture, who cares?" He added
"You should care your arms gonna be messed up for life" I said back to him as JJ turned around to look at us with a joint in his hand.

"It's fine. See" john b said wiggling his fingers.

"Guys!" I hear pope yell as I turn my head to see him b-lining it down the dock.

"Oh, I ran all the way here" he said sounding very out of breath. And barley being able to get the words out.

"You all right?" John b asked as I glanced at kie seeing how she would react after their fight last night.
"How was the interview, pope?" JJ asked

"Don't ask" he said with a hint of pain in his voice.

"JB" pope said still panting
"Look I'm sorry dude, about everything" he said sounding genuine

"It's fine" John b said in a monotone voice.

"But- but I don't have a lot of time, and I have information that is tactically relevant" pope said getting all fancy with his words.

"So before I had my interview, my dad said he was going down to the private airstrip to cut plants for Cameron's big plane, because it was too heavy, it needed and longer landing strip to take off. So I'm there sitting in my interview thinking to myself "hm why would Cameron need a bigger airstrip to take off? What could be so heavy to weigh it down?" Pope said going on a huge rant.

"Gold" JJ said as my face lit up

"That's right" John b said

"Exactly" pope added sounding very excited
"Guys this is our chance, but it leaves tonight, and we have to go"

"Guys we can't give up now" kie said enthusiastically
"What's the plan big man?" JJ asked John b

"We're gonna steal that shit back" John b said making all of us smile.

"Let's do this" I say as we all ran laughing towards the Twinkie.

"We go in there guns-a-blazin make ward Cameron beg for mercy and leave with as much gold as possible and vámonos, get the hell out of there" JJ said loading his gun with bullets in the back seat

"Send that shit right down the intracoastal" John b added

"Wait for the weather" kie said

"Exit to Cuba" pope finished
"Cuba?" I question as JJ and I had always planned on going to Mexico

"No man Xcalak, jewel of the Yucatán, lobster thick, mangoes, and no word for money" JJ said making me smile hoping some day JJ and I would make to to the Yucatán.

"Let's do this shit" John b said

Finally arriving to the tarmac we get out of the Twinkie and run towards a silver fence towering over us.

"Whats the plan?" I ask John b

"I don't think we've gotten that far" he says worrying me.

"They're loading up the gold" pope says looking at them with a pair of clunky black binoculars

John b hurriedly grabs the binoculars and brings them to his eyes as a car drives up "there's ward" John b says with a hint of anger in his voice

I watched from afar trying to make out all of the people. My vision was not amazing which made it very difficult, plus the palm trees and bushes blocking my view.

"What?" I hear kie ask John b making me turn my head to see a surprised look on his face "what?" She asked again after he didn't answer

"It's Sarah" his voice breaking as he said it
"She's with him" JJ said sounding hurt

"Wait a minute" John b said with he eyes fixed on the scene and the binoculars now back in front of his eyes. "He's hurting her" he said in a sad way making my feel sick

"What?" Me and JJ said at the same time
"They're fighting" John b responded

"Holy shit" John b exclaimed as he ran and hoped into the Twinkie while the rest of us were too focused on the plane.

"John b where are you going" kie yelled at John b as he started up the Twinkie

"Hey!" We all yelled at him as he slammed his foot on the gas, heading straight for the fence.

"Stop" I yelled as he slammed directly into the fence busting it down and heading for the runway.

"What are you doing?" JJ yelled trying to run after him but I knew it was no use

The four of us stood there defeated as I paced around. Then sirens sounded in the distance. This was really not good.

"Guys I can't get arrested" pope said quickly
"I'm on probation" JJ added
"Look we're no good if we're all in jail" kie said truthfully

"Come on" pope said to JJ as he picked up his gun and we fled the scene.
