Turns out pope had received some sort of message from a women in Charleston about evidence to put Ward away. The only problem, he had to go alone. The journey to Charleston was chaotic to say the least.. the car broke down and they were hours behind schedule. Pope and Kiara were in the front of the car stressing about the timings meanwhile JJ and Violet were trying to brainstorm what the evidence could possibly be.

"These kooks make our kooks look like pouges." JJ stares in awe as they reach the home, parking outside the gates.

Getting out of the car, violets eyes trail up the gates "are those spikes to keep people out?" She takes a pause "or keep them in..?"

"The slaves quarters are over there." Pope sighs "it was to keep them in." Opening up the gate, he walks to the front door, the group following close behind as he knocks.

The door swings open, a man standing before them as he examined each pogue "you must be pope." He points "you're late." He looks over at violet, JJ, and kiara "she told you to come alone."

"These are my friends they uh-" pope begins to explain

Jj immediately cuts pope off before he could continue "We helped find the royal merchant so we are a package deal."

The man shrugs "well the instructions were clear, your friends can stay outside." He explains causing worry and fear to overcome Violet. She didn't feel right about this.

"We will be right here.." Kiara squeezes popes hand as he whispers "keep the car running." Before entering the home, the rest of the group heading back to the car.

It had been what felt like an hour as the group sat in the car waiting for pope to come back. "I don't like this.." Violet states for the one hundredth time since leaving pope

"He knows what he is doing.. we have to trust him." Kiara keeps her eyes on the house, she too was worried about pope.

Having her head rested against the window as she continues to stare at the house, waiting for pope, she spots him being guided outside and towards the back of the home "Does that look voluntary?"violet immediately sits upright, alerting the group to what was going on

"That would be a negative." JJ states as he watches where they were walking "Drive around Kiara, to the ally."

Kiara steps on the gas, making their way around to ally to get a better look on what was going on.

"Be chill. Be chill." Violet watches them disappear as she begins to panic more. "There! An open gate!" Violet points out a spot as Kiara slams on the breaks, the group rushing towards the gate. Growing closer they hear punches and grunts as though a fight has broken out.

"Pope!" JJ shouts as he sees pope and the man wrestling for a taser, kicking it aside as Kiara grabs it "Pope, come on!"

Violet looks around as she grabs kiaras hand "Come on!" She yells as they begin to run back out of the gate

Pope lands one last punch as JJ yells for him to leave the guy alone, running together after the girls "Go!" Jj yells as they all pile into the car, stressing out

"Who were those people?" Kiara stresses as jj steps on the gas, getting them out of there and quick as they could

Violet glances back to make sure nobody was following them "let's get out of here" she states as the tires squeal, JJ speeding off
