Rule breaker •• John B

Exit plan

🌅

  Rowan paced the front lawn of the chateau. After helping the others, they went back to the chateau to hopefully meet up with John B after his fishing trip with Ward, but after a while, and there was still no sign of him, she began to worry that something had happened.
The others were inside while she waited outside. As she waited, she began thinking about everything that's been going on.

She thought about the gold. About John B. About Rafe cornering them and how crazy he seemed. About how she hasn't been home in days. How upset her father must be. How worried her mother was. Pope had to go home. He had his scholarship interview tomorrow and needed to be Clean and professional. Maybe she'd go home with him and make an appearance. For her mother's sake at least.

As she took a sip of her coffee, her eyes squinted as she looked out into the distance. She smiled immediately and put her cup down on the wooden railing of the front porch once she noticed it was John B. She smiled but soon it dropped the moment she noticed the distraught look upon his face as he marched towards the chateau. "John B?" She questioned, as she walked over to him, but without giving her a response, he walked right past her and towards the house.

"John B?!" She called out after him, following him. He still ignored her and went right past the others and straight to the China cabinet inside and began searching through it. The others all look towards her, but she had no idea what was happening either.

"Speak of the devil! There he is. Hey, I set up the entire winch to pull up the gold and everything." JJ says, as John B leaves the China cabinet and turns to the drawers and begins emptying them. Rowan and Kie share a concerned look as he does so. He's completely losing it and Rowan has no idea why. And all she wants to do is make him feel better.

"Actually, no he didn't, I did." Pope answered.

"Hey." Kie tried, but John B didn't stop scavenging for something. His own mind on a mission.

"John B, what's going on?" Rowan asked, she reached for his arm, but he pulled away and moved towards the green couch, he went into the side and pulled out the gun. Everyone's eyes widened.

"Okay, what's that about?" Pope asked, looking towards Rowan, she had no idea as to what was going on. She's never seen John B like this before.

"Hey, what do you need the gun for?" JJ asked, as John B placed it under his arm. Hewalked outside and the others followed.

"What's going on?" Rowan asked, again. She watched as he started up his bike. He turned and looked back at them.

"Ward knows about the gold." He says, "He killed my father." The bike drove off and kicked up dust as it passed by them.

"Shit." Rowan muttered, as the others quickly rushed towards the boat to go after him.

  Rowan looked towards the big house in front of her. Some of the lights were on and she figured John B had made his way inside. She didn't like the idea of him and Sarah living together. She trusted John B, and she sort of trusted Sarah.
She just didn't know how to feel about it. Right now though, she couldn't think about that. She had to focus on getting John B out of that house and away from Ward. If he knew about their treasure hunt, then he was one step ahead of them. And that was one step too many.

"What now? Do we just go up and ask, hey, have you seen John B?" JJ questioned, as the boat bobbed against the water. The lights of the Cameron house kept everyone visible.
