"JJ. I know you're in there!"
"What do you wanna do?" JJ asks as Shoupe continuously knocks on the door
"Hide the body." John B mutters
Estrella sighs as she shuts her eyes in frustration. Pope looks over, "Hide the body where?"
"Shut up. That's what we're doing, okay?" JJ says
"Behind the couch." John B says, "Hey. Move the couch."
"Behind the couch?!" Pope says
"We're hiding the body-" Kie starts
"Guys, keep it down." JJ says
"Grab his legs." John B says
"Maybe we should-" Charlotte tries as the boys start to drag the body, "Don't drag him. You're gonna smear blood across the entire house."
As her friends move around the house frantically, Estrella turns to Cleo, "Cleo, go upstairs. Go upstairs. It'll be all right."
"Pope, get your ass over here!" JJ says
"It's Shoupe. Open up, dammit."
"Put him on here, and then you roll him." Kie says walking over with a skateboard. Estrella lightly guides Cleo toward the stairs before turning back toward them.
"She's right. Here." John B says before he and JJ lift the body, "One, two..."
"You're putting him on a skateboard? Really?" Pope says
Estrella grabs JJ's arm as she heard Shoupe call for him again, "Go."
"Okay." He says before walking out
"Cleo. Don't look, Cleo. Just go upstairs." She says softly leading her upstairs
"John B, come here." Pope says as the girls rush to clean up the blood, "Help me lift him."
"He's good right there." John B says as they hide him behind the couch, "Okay. Pope. Pope."
"Okay." Pope pants, "Bleach."
"It's too sticky." Sarah grimaces as she scrubs the ground
"Bleach?"
"Here." Charlotte says walking over with the bottle
"Dump it." Estrella points
"More towels." Kie says tossing them toward Estrella as Charlotte dumps the bleach on the floor. Sarah shutters screwing her eyes shut as she turns away.
Estrella stands up with a towel. Her eyes scatter around before they land on the gun. She quickly grabs it, "Wait, the gun, the gun. Pope, you have to do something with the gun."
