"Cleo, do you actually know where you're going?" JJ asks as they trudge up a hill
Cleo points, "We can hole up here. It ain't the Taj Mahal, but..."
"It'll do." John B nods while JJ sighs
"I get the biggest room." Cleo says as they continue on. As soon as they make it to the abandoned hotel, they duck down.
"Over there!" A guard shouts as they pass by on ATVs
"Go, go, go, go!" JJ whispers
"Come! Quick!" Cleo says as they run further into the hotel. They hide behind a pillar watching as another ATV passes.
"All clear!" A guard yells
"Go!" Cleo whispers before leading them upstairs
"You sure this is safe?" John B says
"You got a better idea?" Cleo responds leading them around a corner, "We can stay here. It's an old hotel. Terrance and I squatted here before."
"Five stars." JJ mumbles as they take in the room. He, Pope, and John B walk over the huge hole in the ground to look for anymore guards.
"Watch your step." Cleo says, "Massive sinkhole."
"Oh. Home sweet home." Charlotte breathes
"We gotta get Estrella and Kiara out, guys." JJ says, "Does anyone have anything?"
"Well, we can't storm the fort." Pope says, "We can't call the cops."
"It's not helping, Pope."
"We can't even negotiate. We don't know what they want." He says, "It's got to be about the cross or the gold."
Cleo shakes her head, "Mm-mm. Guys like Singh, it's always about money."
JJ sighs placing his hands on his hips. Sarah walks over to John B, "What are you thinking?"
"I don't know. We all just gotta get off this damn island."

Estrella curled up on the bed while Kie sat by her legs. Estrella had her eyes shut, but hadn't quite let sleep take over. Estrella could feel the bed shake slightly as Kie shook her leg up and down.
She could tell that Kie was becoming restless the longer she sat there without a plan. Estrella had been thinking over what to do as she sat there. The only real plan she had involved the one person they wanted nothing to do with.
"Kie?" Estrella whispers. Kie's head immediately snaps over, "Are you okay?"
"No." Kie answers honestly
Estella nods in understanding, "Listen, I kind of have a plan, but the only way it'll actually work is if we use him to get out of here."
When Estrella mentions "him", Kie notices the girl look over to Rafe who had taken a spot on the floor. Kie immediately shakes her head, "No."
