"When i went back to Tannyhill, Rafe was on the phone with Ward, and he kept saying, "my thing, this my thing' He had to be talking about the cross.  And he's coming into Wilmington tonight at eight o'clock. It's being shipped by train to Raleigh from there, but this is our chance to get it back." Sarah explains to everyone. 

"You get anymore information?"

"Sarah got the cargo number."

"They're definitely fencing that shit off as we speak. So we should probably get a move on."

"Sarah have you heard anything from John B?"

"No, Delilah have you?"

"Nah, i went back earlier today and John B said they went out for a bit, not sure where they are."

After the events of yesterday, and the whole shooting, i'd left a note for my brother to say that i was staying the night at JJ's, but when i went back this morning, the two of them were gone. 

I swear if they went off to do something big and left me behind, they'll know all about it when they get back.

"Problem is they have the twinkie." Sarah points out. 

"I could ask Heyward for the truck." Pope suggests. "We have no other options."

While JB was off with our dad and Cleo and Pope were tyring to convince Heyward to let us borrow his truck, we need a back up option. If we couldn't get Heywards truck then we needed another vehicle. So here JJ, Kiara and I, were standing in Kiara's house while Kie tried explaining the whole issue to her parents. 

And it's not going so well. 

"Walk me through it again." Her mother says, trying to wrap her head around the whole situation. 

"The cross of San Domingo that we found. We thought it was gone forever. And it's gonna be in Wilmington tonight. And the cross is Pope's family heirloom. We found it and Rafe and Ward stole it from us." Kie tries explaining. But as usual, everyone thinks Ward is still dead. "JJ, Delilah, a little help please."

That was our cue, we'd been standing in the kitchen out of her parents way because we know they're not exactly fond of us anymore. He was never fond of JJ. But I somehow grew into his bad books, being my brothers sister. But i don't really care. 

"Ward is alive in the Caribbean. He's living off the loot that he stole from us and uh yeah he's flying across to Wilmington." JJ explains to Kie's parents. 

"Oh give me a break man." Her dad whines. 

"Your right. What do i know though? Just saw it with my own two eyes, so did these two but whatever." He barks out sarcastically. 

"I'm sceptical. 'I am sceptical JJ as in 'i think it's all bullshit'. I think you've been led astray, Kiara. And you JJ-"

Then the protective side of me kicks in and stands in front of JJ when her dad goes to walk closer to him, sounding a little threatening. 

"Let's get this out in the open." He steps a little closer, and i don't move an inch when we're face to face. " You need to understand that i do get it. I like you guys, i bet your fun to hang with, ditch school with and go down to the break, because i was once just like you both. I didn't think anything mattered. Thought i could make up any bullshit story and these stupid kooks would believe it."

Honestly the more bullshit that fell out of his mouth was making more angrier this guy. 

"But then i learned about hard work. All i care about is my daughter. And i know that she was a lot better off before she met you." He then pointed to JJ. "And your friends." And then to me.
