Rule breaker •• John B

Family secrets

  Rowan sat across from kie, who was tuning her ukulele. The pouges had taken a small break  from the crazy and regroup. They had the key, they could clear John B's name, they could get him free. If this Limbry chick is true to her word, which Rowan wasn't sure she would be. People always had an interior motive.
But they had the key. And they were one step closer to freeing him. Rowan stood from her seat, the stress of the situation was getting to be overwhelming. "Hey, you okay?" Pope asked her, as he watched her pace beside him.

"I don't know." Rowan answered, truthfully. She looked over to JJ, who was waxing his surf board. "That's a lot of wax."

"Are—are you tell me how to wax my board right now?"

"I'm just saying, you don't have to use that much—" Rowan went on, looking towards Pope to back her up.

"She's right, you know."

"Listen—don't start with me. I'd like to see you wax your own—"

"Guys-" Kie said, to break them up, "enough about the wax."

"They're telling me how to wax my board, kie..."

"We're telling you how to not wax your board—" Pope says, just as a familiar sound fills the air, Rowan immediately turns her head towards it and widens her eyes as she sees the Twinkie come into view. She and the others stand together and watch in amazement as John B exits the van, with a grin etched on his face.

"Hey, miss me?" He mused

"No shit, is this real?" Kie asked, laughing in disbelief, she turned to Rowan, who stood in shock.

"Did you break out?" JJ questioned, as they all group hug, though, Rowan stands a bit behind, watching in un-certainty. When they pulled apart, John B turned to Rowan. The others all watched with smiles as the two embraced.

"You're free." Rowan whispered, as she held onto him, still afraid that if she let go, he would be a fragment of her imagination. But when he pulled away to kiss her, she knew that he was really here.

"Hell yeah. They can't keep me locked up."

"That's for sure." Rowan mused. "See JJ, we didn't need to help break him out after all."

"All that work for nothing. You know, I'd break any one of you out of jail if I had to."

"If you get the right guy." Rowan laughed, as John B hugged her again. "How'd you get out?"

"They dropped the charges." John B tells her.

"They dropped the charges? No effing way."

"That's phenomenal!" Kie mused

"I know. I know. Where's Sarah?" He asked, noticing she wasn't here. Rowan shook her head.

"She went to talk to Wheezie last night. She hasn't been back." Rowan explained.

"She just dipped and didn't tell anyone?"

"She said she'd be back." Rowan said, as she sat beside Kie. The Pouges had made they're way to the boat, a familiar comfort spot for them when they weren't running from the law.

"I think Ward got to her or something." John B says

"Why?" Rowan asked

"I mean, the dude tried to have me killed in jail."

"Shit, really?" Rowan sat up

"Yes, he sent somebody to the prison who yoked me up and almost killed me. "
