The teens watch as another truck passes. Cleo looks back to them, "Psst, psst, psst!"
They then follow her around a corner and through a gate. They then run past a bunch of horses missing how Cleo crossed the street, "Go, go, go, go, go, go!
"Bloody rasshole!" She mumbles, "Hey, boy, come!"
They stop and turn back around, "That way. That way!"
"She know where she's going?" JJ asks
"No clue." John B pants as they follow her. They run into a corner full of barrels of hay.
"They coming?" Cleo asks
"I don't see anything." John B says
"So what's the plan now? What's our plan B?" JJ says, "We just kicked the hornet's nest. We gotta think of something quick."
"JJ, calm down." Pope tries
"Calm down, Pope?"JJ exclaims, "We do something to their guys, they're gonna do something to Estrella and probably Kie too."
"That was your idea!" Sarah says
"Yeah, I know that was my idea, okay?"
"Shh!" Cleo shushes
"My bad! That one's on me!" JJ says, "Why did we leave that island? Ooh, ooh, wait, wait. I got something. What if I offer myself up as a hostage?" Pope looks up with a raised brow, "No. Hear me out, hear me out. What if I got inside the walls, did the Trojan horse type thing?"
"No, no." Pope says
"That's how wars are won!"
"That's not how a Trojan horse even works!"
"Okay. Fine. What do you got? This is usually where you got the moves, bro, all right?" JJ says, "Remember Spock? We could really use him right now."
Charlotte plops down onto the ground leaning back against the hay. Her hands coming up and covering her face as JJ continued to pace.

Estrella's heart raced as the three teens hid under covers sitting in the back of the trunk. The hay surrounding giving them more coverage as the truck came to a stop.
"Yeah. All clear."
"Let them through!"
"Watch that. Yeah."
Seconds later, the engine revs and the truck starts moving again. The teens let the truck ride for a few more minutes before Kie lifts the cover off of them. Estrella grunts as they all sit up and lean against the truck.
"I told you we just had to work together." Rafe says, "All right. Listen, I'm headed out to my boat, okay? I can give you two a ride out, drop you wherever, somewhere safe. One thing though. Look at me." He says. The two girls turn to him, "I know your friends are on the island and my sister. I'm not helping them. All right? I can't trust them, okay? I'll give you two a ride out, not them. Okay?"
