Chained by your expectations I want you to know,

I see how you used to be before you knew me,

I'm just so sick I can't even look at myself,

It's a mental hell when you said.

LAIA'S POV


Disembarking from JJ's motorcycle, I found myself standing in front of the detention center. The rain had subsided, and the sky had cleared up, offering a brief respite from the earlier downpour.

"We'll meet up later." JJ said, and I nodded. We had different missions in mind – I would head to Shoupe's office at the police station, while JJ would visit John B.

I tried to reason with him, suggesting we could avoid his harebrained scheme altogether. I offered to barter Limbrey's desired item for the concrete evidence of John B's innocence – the very recording she possessed. But no, he insisted we play our cards in our own unique style. Translation: he wanted to stir up some trouble, but the fun kind. And, well, I couldn't resist.

So now we find ourselves with our respective plans: my 'tactic: eat the aunt' and his 'operation liberation.' Oh, what a duo we make.

As I walked toward the entrance, he called after me, "Remember, play it cool. Don't give Shoupe any reason to lock you up, too."
