Brooklynn, JJ, Pope and Kiara spent the night at the Wreck. Everyone slept in separate booths, using stacks of napkins as pillows.

JJ and Brooklynn stood by the window, watching police cars drive past.

"He's pinched for sure, Bro," JJ muttered.

"I don't think they'd still be patrolling if they caught him," Brooklynn said, rubbing his shoulder.

"Let's hope," JJ sighed, moving his gaze from the window to her eyes.

Brooklynn always admired how blue JJ's eyes were. No matter what situation he was in, they always remained bright and full of colour. They reminded her of the ocean.

"He'll be okay," Brooklynn reminded him.

JJ forced a small smile, nodded and looked back out the window.

"I'm gonna go get gas for the boat," Pope told them, exiting the Wreck.

"Meet us at the dump at three!" JJ yelled after him.

JJ's yell had awoken Kiara, who stood up to watch Pope drive away on JJ's motorcycle.

"We should probably gather some food for him," Kiara said to the couple.

"That's a good idea," Brooklynn nodded.

The three pogues made their way over to the storage room where they collected various grocery items and loaded them into the back of Brooklynn's car.

They drove to JJ's house so he could retrieve the keys to the Phantom for John B. Brooklynn could visibly see tears well up in his eyes as he walked as slowly as possible toward his doorstep.

"JJ, wait!" Brooklynn called.

JJ looked back at her, "What?"

"I want to come with you," Brooklynn stated.

She truly did want to go with him. No matter how dangerous JJ claimed his Dad was, she wanted to go protect him. 

Even if she was a short, skinny, teenage girl against a 6-foot middle-aged man. Two against one was better odds than one-on-one.

"I'll be fine. It'll only take a second," JJ told her, entering his house.

Brooklynn saw Kiara's expression grow into a smirk beside her.

"What is it?" Brooklynn asked.

" 'Not really', my ass," Kiara laughed, quoting Brooklynn.

"Oh my god- Kie!" Brooklynn laughed.

"You definitely like him!" Kiara cheered.

"Kie.... We're together," Brooklynn admitted.

"WHAT?!" Kiara shouted, "And you didn't tell me?!"
