CARLOS AND HIS MEN ARRIVED SOON, AND ALL OF THEM WERE ARMED. JJ and Bree winced at each other after looking out the window and seeing how outnumbered they were. Someone downstairs called for Portis, and JJ did the best impression that he could, yelling back, "Yo, I got them up here! There's two of them!"
"Where you at, mate? Portis?" a man with an Australian accent asked, walking up the stairs as Bree waited at the end of the hallway. JJ was pressed up right against the corner so that they man could not see him.
"Yeah, yeah! Take a left at the hallway. The stairway's right on your right," the Maybank boy answered, and he slowly inched his way back over to the Calloway girl. They then turned and ducked under a sheet before sprinting up some stairs to where Pope was waiting for them. "He's coming. Y'all ready?"
Once he confirmed, Bree glanced over at Cleo, who shot her a thumbs up. The brunette breathed out, "Okay, good." She and JJ continued to run up the next flight of stairs.
"Up here! One more flight of stairs now! You're almost there! You're coming, right?" JJ asked as the man continued to follow them. He was about to reach Pope and Cleo, but he needed to not spot them for their plan to work. "I'm still here. You just gotta come right in here!"
The man reached the floor that they were on, and they ducked into another room as he kicked a door in to reveal John B and Sarah tied to a pole on the other side. Sarah looked over at him with pleading eyes, acting as hostage-like as she could.
"Please untie us," she begged, and he lowered his gun arm for just a moment so that he could walk over to them. However, he stepped right into their trap and fell through the floor where Pope and Celo were waiting for him.
They heard a gunshot, and JJ and Bree whipped their heads around to look at each other in terror before sprinting down the stairs. They entered the room, ready to fight, but they froze when they saw a gun pointed right at them. The Australian man's friend had caught them."Don't move! Hold it!" Pope and Cleo had their hands up, but the Heyward boy used his head to gesture to the ground. Bree looked down to see the gun right in front of them. "Don't even think about it."
