"What's taking so long?" Sarah groans
"Pope, come on." JJ mutters
"Hey, hey." Sarah whispers hitting his shoulder. The teens look over as Pope comes up the ladder of a train a few tracks across from them. He turns to them and shines his light.
"That's it. We're green." Kie says. As they stand, they hear metal clanking, "What's happening?"
"You hear that?" JJ says. Moments later, the train Pope was on begins to move, "Train's moving. Train's moving."
"Shit, shit." Estrella mumbles as they climb down. Sarah gets down first and makes her way over to Topper.
"Hey, Sarah."
"Do you have jumper cables?" She asks opening the back door of his truck
"Here I am involved in illegal activities."
"Not that illegal."
"I'm not even close to being okay with this."
"Okay." Sarah says finding the jumper cables and closing the door
"Jumper cables. What are we doing?" He says
"Topper, if you don't wanna go, it's fine. We'll take the truck." Sarah nods
"The truck?"
"Yeah." Sarah nods again as she walks over to the others and hands the cables to JJ
"Hey, I just wanna make sure everyone here is okay with ending up in federal prison."
"Uh, if it gets to that, yeah, I'll do it for Pope." JJ says as Estrella nods agreeing with him
Topper sighs as JJ and Estrella hop on his bike while Charlotte, Kie, and Sarah get in the truck. JJ starts his bike and revs it before driving off.

"This should be far enough." JJ says as they jump off of the bike
"All right." Estrella says following him. As JJ runs towards the tracks, he trips over his own feet. Before Estrella could stop herself, she giggles, "You good?"
"Yeah, I'm fine." He says jumping up, "All right. Oh God, you can hear it coming. Let's fry this sucker."
"All right." Estrella breathes as he gets down and connects the cables to the light by the tracks, "Okay, now, all you have to do..."
"Do your trick."
"...is change the current." He says, "Let's go."
"Don't get electrocuted, please."
"Yeah, no promises with that." He says getting down and placing both cables on one side, "Three, two, one and red."
"Moment of truth." She says as they look up at the light. Estrella frowns as it continues to blink green.
