"I mean, I just- I can't get it out of my head." Topper says. "Bro, he had a semiautomatic pointed at your head. Safety off." Kelce adds. "That's what i'm saying. It's insane." Topper answers. "They're freaking Pogues, man." Rafe decides to respond. "You know you should get a piece." "What do you mean?" Topper asks, "You gotta fight fire with fire and defend the homestead." "Listen I-I'm gonna get him back, all right? I'm making it a little project of mine." "Yeah, you should man." Rafe says supporting Topper.

"Yo, there's Sarah and Maddy." Kelce suddenly says pointing at us. "So, you left her in the boat?" Sarah asks the little girl, "Mhm." She nods her head. "Okay, can you tell us what she looks like?" I ask her. "She has a trunk and blue ears." She responds.

"Okay, I'm gonna get her for you." Sarah says standing up. "Be careful of electricity." I tell her. "Don't worry, I'll be okay." She starts to climb on the side of a boat. "What is she doing?" Topper asks me as he stands next to me. "Getting her toy." I answer looking at the little girl next to me.

"Watch her fall and make a big drama out of it." Rafe says and I roll my eyes at him. "Hey, there's 14000 volts in those wires." Rose yells from the balcony. Sarah loses her balance a little but doesn't fall. But that's when I notice that the cable is disconnected.

"Hey, Sarah, be careful." Topper yells at her. "Oh, you gotta be kidding me. Sarah, get down now!" Rose says walking up to her. "Rose, calm down. I'm an athlete. I got this." She responds. "You're gonna get electrocuted! Get down!" I couldn't stop laughing at the sight of Rose, knowing nothing bad could happen to her.

"She just wants attention." Rafe says again. "Can you just shut up for one second, please." I sigh turning to him. "Maddy." Topper adds, giving me that serious brother look. Sarah starts to dance a little, trying to get their stress to grow. "Sarah, that's not funny." Topper says. "When I tell your dad about this, Sarah..." Rose tries to scare her off.

"Little fried Sarah." Rafe responds. "Rafe, your sister's crazy, man." Kelce tells him. Sarah finally gets to the boat and starts to climb on it. "I see her." She smiles at the little girl, and she starts laughing from besides me. "When I tell your dad—" Rose starts but then Sarah 'falls' into the boat, pretending to be out. I gotta give her credits for this great performance.

"Sarah! Sarah!" Topper yells scared running towards her. But then she waves the cable around in the air showing it's cut loose. I couldn't hold my laughter in at this point. "It's disconnected." Sarah says laughing at the sight of Topper.

"For the love of God." Rose says annoyed. "Absolute sucker." Sarah says, "Topper, you should see your face." I say laughing at him.  "Yeah, o-okay, yeah, I'm sorry that I care. All right, guilty." Topper says raising his hands to defend himself. "Congrats, pussy, you're officially her bitch." I tell him patting his back.

"And we were right outside like this." JJ imitates about their morning, "And all we hear is just, 'Bam! Bam! Bam!' Knocking paint off the wall, G! From the inside, all right? And i'm just looking at him and at that point i'm just waiting for death yeah." "Jeez JJ, come on." I roll my eyes at him.

"Oh, okay so you saw the guys that shot at us, right?" Pope asks. "Yeah." "Did you get a good description of them, what did they look like? Anything that we can take to like a police report?" "Burly." JJ responds proud. "Yeah that's not helpful." Kie sighs. "Okay well, no, like the type of guy at my dad's garage. I can tell you with full confidence guys, these boys, these killers... they're square groupers." JJ says pitting up his cigarette. "Okay so what does this square grouper look like, specifically?"

Pope asks while they kept going no where. I saw John B fiddling with his Compass. "What are you doing?" I ask him. "The office." He suddenly says. "What?" "My dad. My dad's office. He always kept the office locked because he was worried about his competitors stealing his Royal Merchant research. We used to laugh at him like he was actually gonna find it. But now that he's gone, I've just kinda.. I just left it as he kept it." John B says grabbing the key for the office. "Yeah, for when he gets back." Kie says, "Yeah."
