Ward and Rafe were sitting in the police station making a statement about finding Sarah. They haven't been seen yet, so they were sitting down waiting.

"It was her, right? That was Sarah." Ward says in need of reassurance, Rafe rubs his eyes only thinking about one person. "It was her, yeah." he answers, "She's alive. I don't know what the hell you were doing though. Shooting a gun right at her. You're just lucky you didn't shoot her." the man says before he sighs. "No dad I didn't shoot her, I should've shot her and I wouldn't have cared if I did. But instead I hit Lily. I did not mean to shoot her." Rafe says rising his voice a bit.

"Okay, okay, I'm sorry. As long as it wasn't Sarah, we're good." Ward nods, the cop walks up to them and hands out a phone showing a picture of the three. In the picture, it was Lily holding her body on where she got shot, JohnB was keeping her balanced and Sarah pushing the doorbell button. "Can you verify?" The cop asks, Rafes eyes immediately fall on Lily, then looks away.

He didn't know why he was so stuck on her, he never been like that for any girl. "That's my Sarah." Ward says making his son feel nothing but like the black sheep again.

"She was kidnapped, and was brainwashed by this. Those two people are very dangerous and you can see she's she's trying to get into this place." Ward says trying to prove his point.

Back at OBX, Kie was trying to convince her parents to let her go to Charleston, because Pope got a letter that said they have evidence to clear JohnBs name. But they had to be there tonight. "I am so sick of this shit! Every single time you get in trouble, you try and stir up the pot between us." Kies mom says taking a long pause before continuing. "I'm going to tell her."

Meanwhile Pope and JJ were sitting in the truck predicting what they were saying, "Boarding school? What are you talking about?" Kie yells as she walks down the steps, her parents follow after her and look at JJ get out the truck to let the girl in. "It's good to see yall, Mr. and Mrs. Carrera." the blond boy says giving a quick little dad wave.

"Hi, uh, ma'am, sir. I promise to have her back at a reasonable hour and safe." Pope stutters, sticking his head out the truck. "Kiara listen to me. You wanna go, then you can go. But if you don't come back at a proper time, then don't come back at all!" Anna yells while she crosses her arms. "This shit would be so much easier without parents." the brown haired girl says getting into the truck. Heywards truck.

Back at Charleston, Lily flickered her eyes and slightly moved her hand, she could feel another hand on hers. "Lily? Doc! Doc!" JohnB says making Sarah get up, Lily closed her eyes once more feeling nothing but drowsy. The old man walks over and nods as he feels her pulse. "She just needs a couple of minutes for her to fully awake. Yall come have a seat." he says walking into the other room while the two follow. JohnB closes the door and sits down.

Lily's eyes fluttered back open and she groans. "Literally, fuck my life." she says sitting up very slowly. She takes off a bag from the rack that's connected to her arm and walks over to the door. "Woah, you need to lie down." The Doc says immediately getting up, "How long did I sleep?" she asks looking around. "Not long enough."

"Can we still make it?" she asks limping, "No, its over, okay?" Sarah shaking her head. "No it's not." she denies, "We still have a hour." The blond girl continues shaking her head. "You need to rest. You just got shot." JohnB says, "I am fine JohnB. We are leaving." she says in a statement not as a question.

They head outside and walk into the carport, Lily gets into the Doc's car and laughs as she feels weird. "How is going to be when the anesthesia wears off?" Sarah asks taking the keys, "Pretty much mind bending."

"How do we get this back to you?" the brown haired boy asks getting to the passenger seat. "You're just going to the wharf, right?" the old man asks, "Yeah. Berth 39, right?" Sarah says getting into the driver seat. "Perfect. Put the keys under the gas cap, and we're good." he responds back.

Lily gives him a wave while they pull out the driveway, and mouths the words 'Thank you'. A couple minutes pass and they reach the wharf, "How much time do we have?" Lily asks from the back, Sarah looks at the back seat to see the girl laying completely down, staring at the hood.

"Shit, cops." JB says making Lily open her eyes wide, usually she always ran from the cops with JJ, "Lily, you are not running. Just play it cool." the brown haired boy says already knowing. "Roads closed." one cop says as Sarah stops, "What happened?" she asks. "Robbery. There was a shootout. Now move along." the cop says before walking away.

"They took the gold." Sarah says making Lily immediately sit up straight. "Hey, stop the car!" another cop yells, "Sarah if you don't fucking step on the gas, i'm getting out and running." Lily says, she starts going and drives fast as possible, she turns onto the main road and now there's multiple police cars chasing them. "We can never catch a break." the blond girl mumbles to herself.

Sarah turns into a backroad, "Did they see?" she asks. "No they went the other way." JohnB says looking at the side mirror. They all look back just as Sarah turns her head she hits someone. "Raashole." The person says groaning on the floor, the voice sounded familiar. Cleo. Only Lily could recognize the voice.

JohnB gets out the car and walks to the person, "Cleo?" he says standing there tilting his head. "Some freaking rescue!" she says holding her neck as she's laying down on the floor. He helps her up, then opens the back door. "Where'd she get her license man?" Cleo says limping, just as she gets into the car she sees Lily. "Hey! How'd you make it through girl?" the black haired girl says dragging the y. "Are you okay?" Sarah asks turning around. "Just a scrape, you know? I been through worse." she replies back.

Sarah drives off and checks her surroundings, "What happened back their?" JB asks, "We were waiting for you guys to show up, and then the coppers came. They came every direction. I jumped overboard." she replies. "What about Terrance and Stubbs?" Lily asks, "I heard gunshots. I ran. I wanted to shoot it out with them, but it was to many."

Just as they turn the corner cops pulls up right behind them, they arrived at an unfamiliar place. The cops pass right through them making them all let out a big breath. They pull up to shore and park right next to big boats, Lily could tell what kind they were from JJ.  "We just wait till it cools down." Cleo says and they nod. Lily puts her head back then closes her eyes.
