"Cleo do you actually know where your going?"

"We can hole up here. It ain't the Taj Mahal but it'll do."

We had been walking for a fair while because Cleo said she knew a place that we could stay while we try and come up with a plan to rescue Kiara, and she's right. It's nothing like Taj Mahal, its an abandoned hotel building.

We still have to be pretty careful with our steps considering there's guys outside still patrolling around the areas searching for us.

The afternoon had passed and it was finally the next day. We never came up with a plan besides Pope telling us everything that wouldn't work and why.

Everyone else was currently asleep and to be honest, I'm half asleep. Apart of me is awake but at the same time I'm dosing on JJ's lap. No clue what he's doing, but he's moving his hands quite a bit but I'm too tired to even open my eyes.

He has his arm wrapped around my shoulders as I lean against him, with my head on his shoulders, keeping myself up and with the way he is moving, I'd say he's been awake for a while.

"What is that?" I hear from across from me.

"This is a little souvenir that I plucked from Portis's pocket."

"You have a phone?"

Everyone starts to chime in and that's when I realised he'd been playing on the phone the entire time.

"Good job guys, you woke my girl up. And yes, I forgot I had it, it was in my back pocket. That's my bad."

JJ nudges me slightly indicating he was getting up because Pope wanted to see the phone, so as I move I see my brother still asleep, which is weird considering he's never asleep at this time.

"Shoot, what did he call Singh? Catfish?"

"Kingfish" my brother finally speaks up. Honestly I haven't spoken to John B much since we arrived considering we've been to busy on missions all the time. So I pushed my eyes open and my legs up and I walked right over to him and laid beside him.

"Hey big bro." I say as soon as I'm flat on the ground.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm sitting next to you?"

"What do you want from me?"

"Nothing. Can a sister not sit next to her twin with no intentions of wanting anything?"

"Not with you, no."

"Funny. I just wanted to see how you were doing." I quietly ask him, while the rest focus on creating a plan to capture Singh or rescue Kiara or however.

"Pretty tired to be honest."

"You and me both."

"You know, I always wondered, where we might be or what we'd be doing when we found our dad again." He speaks up after a few minutes. "Do you ever think about him much anymore?"

"I mean yeah I still think of him. A lot of people say he's dead or just gone but I don't believe he'd just vanish like he did. There's gotta be something that happened or a reason at least."

"I always think Ward has something to do with it."

"I wouldn't be surprised if he did. Man is a murderer and already tried to kill you, imagine all the shit he's done that we don't know about."

"So very true. Hey what do you think life is like for us without all this shit going on?"

"Um, we'd maybe still be in school. Or at least Pope would be, hell he might of even got his scholarship. I'd probably be at home on the hammock in my pretty blue bikini drinking a beer with my beautiful blonde boyfriend, Kiara would either be in the ocean swimming, surfing, colouring inside or studying for god knows what or even her ukelele, and you would be with me at home drinking beers with us and then we all meet up at ours and have a huge party like we always do. But this time with no fights, Just music, dancing and laughing. That's how I see it."
