[present day]
It's truly been the shittiest few weeks ever for the Pogues. It's just been one thing, after another, after another. They were all beginning to think they'd never catch a break.
The police told the Pogues they had to leave, escorting them and Topper off the property, Sarah staying behind to be with her sister. None of them spoke as they drove through Figure Eight, back to the Chateau.
Even when they made it back to the house, John B excused himself and went inside, leaving Kiara, Pope, JJ and Abigail sitting around on the porch, in silence.
The only bright side to this entire nightmare, is that it's over.
Ward Cameron is dead, the person responsible for stealing the gold, killing Big John and screwing over Abby's parents. Although, that's a new revelation that she hasn't even begun to process yet, nor share with anyone besides Kiara.
Abigail's head starts spinning as she remembers the other mystery waiting for her back home. It may be over for her friends, but unfortunately for Abby, she still has so much to uncover.
She swallows thickly, anxiety gnawing at her insides. Malcolm gave her a week, and it's already been two days since she was attacked. Her time is running out.
"I'm gonna head home." She announces, pushing herself up from the couch.
The boys and Kiara all snap their eyes to her, JJ sitting forward in his chair.
"I'll come with you." Kiara says, about to push herself to stand too.
Abby shakes her head. "No, it's fine. Stay."
She watches Kiara glance at the boys, probably hoping they'll jump in and help.
"Abby, you really shouldn't be alone in that house..." JJ starts to say, until Abby turns to face him, and he trails off.
"I'm fine, I'll call if I need anything." She says, grabbing her bag. "I'll be back tomorrow morning." She doesn't waste any time, walking around the porch to leave.
Kiara looks between Pope and JJ, the blonde looking like he's about ready to tie her to a chair so she stops trying to leave.
"I got it." She says, before JJ can get up and follow Abby.
JJ sighs, as both girls disappear. "Something else is going on, man, I can feel it." He says, running a hand through his hair.
"Yeah, I'm starting to think you're right." Pope nods, looking towards the door both girls just disappeared through.
