The teens were now on their way to who they thought flew Ward's plane. Kie driving, Pope in the passengers seat, and JJ and Estrella in the back seat.
"If this guy flew planes for Ward, he's gotta be pretty tight-lipped." Pope says
"So then direct approach gets my vote." JJ says cocking his gun
"JJ, no."
"No."
"What?" Estrella exclaims
"Put the gun down, man."
"Guys! We gotta keep this simple, or else we'll never get John B off." JJ says
"Or we just tickle the wire." Pope says holding up Kie's AirPods
"What?" Kie says
"We tickle the wire. I plant my phone in his car, and then we listen in on your AirPods." He says putting them in his ear. He then holds his phone out to Kie, "Say something."
Kie shrugs, "Something."
Pope listens to the phone and nods, "Okay, we have audio." Kie then stops in front of a house, "I think that's his house over there. All right, honk or, uh... or yell or something if you see anything suspicious."
"Don't do anything dangerous." Kie says
"Come on. I'm not JJ." He smiles as he gets out
"Funny, Pope. Love third-wheeling. It's my favorite thing." JJ says
They watch as he sneaks onto the property. Estrella was fully expecting it to be silent in the car, but of course it wasn't.
"How's it been going, you know, with Pope and all?" JJ asks
"It's good." Kie says still watching Pope
"It's good? All right." JJ nods as it goes quiet again, "In the bedroom, is he, like, kinda freaky, 'cause it's Pope, you know?"
Estrella and Kie both give him an expression filled with confusion.
"Why are you asking?" Kie says
"I don't know. Just kinda curious." He says shaking his head and looking out of the window, "Just- spitballing here."
Kie looks away still feeling awkward about the question, "You don't need to spitball. We could sit in silence."
It's silent again as Kie and Estrella keep their eyes on the house.
"Ranking-wise-"
"Oh, you're still asking?" Kie says turning to him
