John B stands on the top of the roof, his feet at the edge. He takes a drink of beer, balancing on one foot.
"That's what? A three story fall to the deck?" Pope questions from where he's standing on the main level. "I give you about a one in three chance of survival.
"Hm." John B licks his pointer finger, holding it up in the air. "Should I do it?"
"Yeah, you should jump. I'll shoot you on the way down." Pope says, aiming a nail gun up at John B.
"You're gonna shoot me?" John B asks, aiming a finger gun at Pope.
"Yep." Pope nods as John B "shoots" him.
"I'm not gonna try to save you. You fall, you're dead." Max says.
"They're gonna have Japanese toilets with towel warmers." Kie informs as she and Viola walk out of the half built house.
"Of course they are. Why wouldn't they?" JJ remarks.
"Warm towels are nice." Viola comments. Kie gives her a look. "But turtles are much nicer, of course. We should be able to have both, honestly."
"This used to be a turtle habitat, but who cares about the turtles, I guess?" Kie says.
"I can't have cold towels." JJ comments.
"Can you please not kill yourself?" Kie questions John B.
"Don't spill that beer." JJ warns. "I'm not giving you another one."
"Whoa!" John B exclaims as he almost loses balance, the beer can dropping from his hands and crashing onto the ground. "Oh, shit."
"Of course you did. Like right when I told you not to." JJ chuckles.
"Great job." Max gives John B a thumbs up.
"A-plus." Pope comments.
"Idiot." Viola calls up.
"Dumbass." Kie rolls her eyes.
"Hey!" Pope hears a man yell out, leaning over the railing to find security.
"Hey, uh, security's here." Pope warns. "Let's wrap it up."
"Boys are early today." John B notes.
"All right, Humpy Dumpty, let's roll." JJ says.
"Let's go, boys, girly." Kie smirks.
"Gary, is that you?" JJ calls out.
"Come on, quit it." Pope warns.
"Gary, good to see you, man!" JJ calls out.
"Yeah, you're just asking for it." Kie laughs.
They break off into a run as they go through the house and go down the stairs.
"Hey, stop!" Gary runs into the building, JJ barely dodging him. "Get 'em! They're coming your way!" He calls out to the other guard.
Kie, Viola, and John B get out as Pope, JJ, and Max start to run a different direction.
The second guard manages to grab JJ.
"I got him!" He shouts out, but JJ wrangles himself out of the guy's hold.
"Not much of a hugger, man!" JJ says, running off.
"Go, Pope! Go! Go, go, go, go, go!" JJ encourages as the three run to the fence. Pope climbs over it and falls on the other side as JJ and Max climb over it.
"Come on, get up." Max urges, reaching down to help his friend.
"Get up, Pope, fatso's coming." JJ warns as John B pulls up in the Twinkie.
"Hey!" The guard hauls himself up onto the fence. "Come here, you little pricks!"
John B honks the horn multiple times.
"Bus is leaving!" He yells out as the three run towards the van.
"Come on!" Kie calls out. They get into the van and John B drives off.
"Check out Gary, gunnin' for a raise." Pope points the man running after them.
"Come on, Gary!" JJ laughs. "Wait, slow down, slow down. Slow down." He tells John B.
"Hey! you little pricks!" Gary yells.
"Guys, stop. You're gonna give him a heart attack." Kie says.
"J, she's serious. Stop." Viola says.
"Come here, Gare! Come here, boy!" JJ hangs outside the van and waving an empty beer can around. "You're so close! You can do it." He tosses the beer can. "There you go! They don't pay you enough, bro."
"JJ, stop. No." Viola pulls him into the van.
"Oh, come on. That sort of initiative is just begging to be punished." JJ laughs.

"So, hurricane time. You wanna bunk at the chateau with us?" JJ asks.
"I can't. It's my father's week. I'm stuck with the nuclear family." Viola says. "But I'll see you later. We're probably going fishing or something, right?"
"Yeah. Yeah, oh, definitely." JJ nods.
"Okay." Viola gives him a small smile.
Viola grabs her bike and waves to JJ before she pedals off.
"Aww... you're gonna be so lonely tonight." Max mockingly pouts.
"Shut up, dude." JJ smacks his hand away and Max laughs.
