DURING THE whole walk, the three are just quiet, Kie is holding Jake's hand and their fingers are interlocked while JJ is up ahead of the couple, leading the way. He keeps glancing back, to look at them for a split second then turning back around quickly.
Once they arrived to the Carrera house, the three moved discreetly towards the truck, which JJ peaked into, "he's not in there. Good." He goes to lean against the fence as Jake looks at Kiara. "Are you sure you wanna do this?" He asked her. "A little Dad Theft Auto?" JJ quips so the two instantly look over at him. "No." Kie says but then moved towards the gate of the fence which JJ opens up, "alright, here we go. Go, go, go, go, go." He whispers to Kie who made her way to the house.
Jake watched her worriedly then looked down, rubbing the back of his neck as JJ looks at him. "You love her." He says suddenly and Jake looks up at him right away. "What?" He says and JJ shrugs. "Have you told her?" He asked quietly and Jake looks to the house, gently shaking his head. "Here she comes." He said and opened up the gate.
"Hey." JJ held out his hands and Kie tossed the truck keys over to him. Jake rushed around to get into the passenger side as Kie got into the backseat and JJ drove the truck. They then arrive to the Chateau, "this'll only take a sec. I think it's over in the surf shack. Yeah, yeah, it's in the surf shack. I'll be right back. Got it. Be right out." JJ hops out the truck he'd parked and rushed off, jumping up.
But he just falls to the ground so Jake leaned over, "you okay, buddy?" He called out as the blond boy jumped up and ran off to the surf shack. "I'm okay!" JJ shouted back and Jake sighs, shaking his head as he leans back. He glanced back at Kie in the backseat and saw her staring off in the distance.
"Hey, you okay?" Jake said and Kie looks at him right away, she smiled faintly and nodded softly. "Yeah. I'm okay." She whispers. "What's taking him so long?" Kie asked suddenly and Jake honks the horn. "JJ!" He shouted then got out of the vehicle and Kie followed, getting out of the vehicle as well to get into the driver's side where she honks the horn.
When JJ appears with Luke, Kie furrows her brows and Jake scoffs. "What the frick?" Kie said as she now hops out of the truck. "No. Immediately, no." Jake says, shaking her head. "I know. Guys, just get in the truck." JJ says. "What is this?" Kie asked as JJ tossed the supplies into the back. "I'm sorry. The Twinkie's drowning right now, JJ. What is the plan? What is this?" Kie asked the boy.
"Listen to me. Listen to me, okay?" JJ grabs Kie by her arms so Jake steps in, shoving him back a bit. "Don't touch her like that." He says sternly and JJ sighed. "I need to get into the marina at the Island Club." He merely says, looking down before looking up at the two. "There's a boat there that he can take. Kie, you got the sticker on your truck. Twenty minutes, that's all I need." JJ walks away from them.
"The Twinkie's gonna be a submarine in 20 minutes, JJ." Jake said right away and JJ turns around. "I know, Jake." He says right away. "Leave him, and we can come back!" Jake said and JJ hits the hood of the truck. "The cops are after him! I do this now, maybe I will never have to do it again." He said, walking to get into the backseat and Jake turns to look at Kie who just quietly sighs, going to the driver's side. Jake walks around to get into the passenger side, crossing his arms.
"Hey, pull up to Home Food here. I'm gonna need provisions." Luke says as Jake just glanced over at Kie, the girl pulling up to the store now. She parks the truck and JJ hops out quickly, "crackers and baked beans and tuna, alright? And some salt and pepper." The Maybank man calls to his son. "Yeah." JJ simply says. "Five days' worth."
"I know."
Jake watches JJ head into the store then rolled his eyes when he felt the man sitting behind him start tapping onto the back of the seats. "You're a terrible father, you know that?" Jake suddenly says, turning to look at the man. "Yeah, preach it to me, the 15 years old dad. Set me straight." He says and Jake just glares.
"Do you even have any idea how special your son is? Like, even a clue?" He asked, crossing his arms again. "He's a thief is what he is." Luke says and Jake rolls his eyes, turning back around. "What are you?" Kie now asked, looking in the rearview mirror of the truck. "You're just a wasted local salt who never did shit but get messed up and hustle people. Not exactly impressive." The girl adds.
"You know, you sound just like your mama. She was just like that in high school. Always thought she was better than everybody else. Kook princess. You know, I bet you're a lot like your mama." Luke says, leaning forward, "slumming with the bad boys. Are you an ungrateful shit like she was?" The man chuckles, "I bet you are. Miss Figure Eight hopping up there on your high horse, riding around in daddy's car." Before Jake can turn around and say anything to the man, Kie elbows him in the face.
Jake turns around quickly, eyes wide as Luke covered his nose. "Don't talk about my family." Kie says before turning back around. "Hey." JJ whistles, handing over the six pack of beer to his dad and setting the other stuff into the back. He then got into the backseat, looking at his friends then over at his father. "Let's get this over with, yeah?" Kie says, starting up the engine. "Yeah." JJ merely says, looking away and Kie drove off from the store.
