Tomorrow is another day
And you won't have to hide away
You'll be a man, boy!
But for now it's time to run, it's time to run!

WE had arrived at the ferry dock. I was in the back, between JJ and John B, while Carter and Pope had gone to inquire at the ticket station of the ferry. 

 "Is this really the only option we have?" I asked, sighing. 

"Yes," Kie and JJ echoed together. 

"But, why?" I frowned harder, shaking my head as I looked at my brother beside me. "Sarah and I can go to the cops, tell them the truth!" I added.

"Sarah won't go against her brother...we talked about this, Lils," JJ sighs, squeezing my hand in reassurance. "I know it hurts when I say it, but it's the truth," he added, giving me a small smile. I sighed heavily, nodding.

"Pope, can you act normal?" Kie hissed and I turned my head to look out the window, watching as Pope shakes his head frantically, talking to himself as he walked back to the parked car. "Carter, calm him down!" Kie rolls her eye. Carter was right behind Pope, shaking his head and shrugging in surrender when Kie glared at him.

"So, um...okay, so bad news," Pope gets into the driver's seat and turn to look at all of us, while Carter got into the middle seat. I frowned hard at Pope's weird behaviour. Stoned Pope is...absurd. "The ferry's closed and there's this," he said, as he gave a pamphlet to Kie. Who quickly glances at it before passing it to JJ.

"What is that? What is that?" John B and I echoed, frowning. JJ grabbed the flyer from Kie and looked at it, I peered over his shoulder and looked at the flyer myself. My eyes widening at the picture and words pasted onto the white paper. 

"Oh, fucking hell!" I groaned, and sighed, running a hand through my hair as I threw my head back and rested it on the headrest of the seat. The flyer had a picture of my twin brother, with a "WANTED" sign and a "25,000$ reward".

"Well, John B...uh, this...this is a good framer of you," JJ commented as he turned the paper towards John B, who was in his seat on my other side. John B has the same reaction as mine and sighs, staring at the ceiling of  the car.

"Okay, the whole island's looking for John B right now," Pope asserted.

"And it says wanted dead or alive..." Carter sighs, shaking his head. "I wonder if they are looking for you, Ro," He added, looking at me. 

"They're probably not...John B's the fresh meat and Ward's the shark...I'm just...Nemo," I rolled my eyes and pulled out JJ's vape from his shirt's pocket and starting smoking, needing to calm my senses.

"You're not nemo," Kie shakes her head. "And that's a lotta money," She adde, throwing a glance at the flyer in JJ's hands.

"Congratulations, John B. You're famous," JJ commented, trying to lighten the mood.
