"Hey!" JJ shouted while running down the dock. "Guys, don't tie up. Stop!"
Grace was right on his heels and John B trailed behind, helping Sarah along.
"What?" Kie shouted back.
"We're dipping."
"Wait, why?" Pope asked.
"What? What are you talking about?" Kie added.
"What happened last night?" John B asked as he finally caught up, Sarah's arm slung over his shoulders.
"We slept on the break. What's up?"
"Slept," Grace repeated sarcastically.
"Yeah, right," JJ added.
JJ climbed into the boat and patted Pope on the shoulder, "We were up all night."
"We gotta get the hell out of here," John B added while setting his bag in the boat.
"Rafe knows we're here, so we have to leave, like, now."
JJ stuck his hand out to help Grace onto the HMS. While she grabbed it she spoke, "Almost shot me in the face but it's whatever."
Kie furrowed her brows, a look of concern on her face.

"Look, if Rafe and Barry know, it's only a matter of time," Kie said.
"Before everyone knows," Pope finished.
They had driven the boat down the coast and found an unoccupied grass field to camp out at.
"I told you. We should've just gone south, man," JJ exclaimed while pacing. Grace didn't have the energy to stop his panicking. She was freaking out too.
"Just stop it," John B tried.
"Why does no one ever listen?" JJ continued.
"I get it. I get it. I understand."
"I have an idea," Sarah piped up. "With us back our dad's going to have to choose between us and Rafe."
The Pogues shared wary glances.
"Sarah, Sarah-" John B started.
"He's gonna choose us!" she retaliated.
"Sarah's right. He'll pick her... and me, I guess. But like, he'll pick Sarah. She's his favourite. It could work."
"Just please listen. Ward keeps lying to you, Sarah," John B countered. "Grace, there hasn't been a singular time that he's been good to you."
Grace looked down at her feet.
"He won't agree after everything that's happened," Kiara backed up John B.
"No. I... I know it sounds crazy-"
Kie cut her off, "Yeah, it does."
"I know!" Sarah's voice came out choked up, "But he's our dad. And I know him, and I know he loves us."
Grace bit her lip roughly.
"I'm just asking for two hours."
JJ shot Grace a stern look.
"Guys, it's entirely a last ditch effort. But we really don't have a choice. Can we at least try?" Grace reasoned
JJ whipped around, "You're not going."
Grace frowned, "And you're not the boss of me so..."
JJ groaned, "You're not going into a murderers house. Who, by the way, isn't very fond of you-"
