- eye for an eye -

Melia just put her head down, her hands on the back of her head. She was trembling, this was too much. Why, for fucks sake. Why?

Barry, kicked her side slightly, yelling down at her. "Don't let me see you look up! All right?"

JJ was furious, his face was red and his jaw was certain to break if he clenched it any harder.

"That's all y'all gotta do!" He screamed, walking back over to the van.

"That's all you need to do, dollface. Just stop struggling, it makes this all harder, for both of us."

—————————————————

All that could be heard was Barry rummaging through the car, but Melia's ears were ringing like crazy. She was fighting so hard to stay grounded but images of the past were clouding her mind. She jumped slightly when she felt the blonde boy beside her nudge her leg with his own.

"You're okay." He mouthed to her, although he looked like he was about to explode himself.

She bit her lip, nodding and blinking hard as she pushed the thoughts out of her mind.

"It's a set up, guys." Kiara said shakily, looking down at the ground.

"That old bat shanked us." JJ muttered, gripping his hat even harder. "Fuck! God damn it!" He punched the ground, shaking his head.

But John B was slowly getting to his feet.

"Wait- no! John B, no." Sarah whispered frantically, looking up at him with wide eyes.

"John B! No!"

"John B." Pope muttered harshly under his breath, shaking his head at him. "Don't be a hero, man!"

Melia just stared up at him with teary eyes, she couldn't bring herself to speak right now, but she knew Barry wasn't one to mess with. Trust me.

He held up his finger to his lip, and crept closer over to the fake police car Barry had came in.

He quickly hopped into the back seat, taking the keys and ducking down so he wouldn't be seen.

Everybody was looking at each other anxiously, what the fuck was he doing?!

"All right, y'all stay just like that!" Barry yelled, looking back at them with the wrapped up gold in his hand.

"Stay just like that, that's good, Doll."

"Unless you want your brains blown out all over this road!" He yells, hoisting the gun around. "Don't move your goddamn heads, okay?"

The car door shut.

A bunch of clanging around was heard and the back door of the car threw open.

"Guys! I've got the gun!" John B could be heard yelling, and JJ flew to his feet, running over to him.

Everybody got up and ran over, everybody taking hits and swings at Barry. Except Melia, she just stood at the back, watching with shaky hands.
