"You feeling it too?" JJ asks, noticing John B's nervous look.
"Yeah." John B says.
"I am, that's for sure." JJ says. "All right, you ready?" He asks as Sarah and Brooklyn walk out of the house. John B and Sarah smile at each other. "Let's make this quick. All right? Gotta keep my head down."
"Hey. We're gonna get out of your hair, actually." John B says, going over to Sarah. "Give you guys some space."
"Yeah." Sarah agrees.
"What?" JJ asks.
"Really? Now?" Zack asks.
Brooklyn tries to hide her grin as she watches the couple.
"Yeah. You know, it's your dad. And... and it's your mom's grave. You two should do this with him." Sarah reasons.
"So y'all just bailing right now?" JJ asks.
"No." Sarah shakes her head.
"Not bailing. We're just multitasking." John B says.
"Running some errands. We'll be right back. We have something to do." Sarah says.
"An errand, right now? Are you kidding me?" JJ asks. "We could save Poguelandia if we could just read--"
"Babe, hey, baby, don't worry about it." Brooklyn softly says. "You and Zack are gonna go with your dad. John B and Sarah are gonna run their errand. And the rest of us are gonna stay here, get us packed up cause we gotta get out of here."
"I'm also still against you two going with your dad alone. I mean, you were alone with him last time, we see how that worked out." Erin points out.
"We'll be fine." Zack promises. "Besides I don't want you around in case something goes south." He says, tucking some hair behind her ear.
"That's exactly why I should be around." Erin says.
"It's exactly why you're not gonna be around." Zack retorts.
"Just not the right time to be splitting up." JJ says, shutting the trunk.
"JJ, Zack!" They turn to Groff as he walks towards them. He waves at the group.
"Look, hey, I-I know he's your biological father and everything and I don't know what your level of trust is at." Brooklyn tells her boyfriend. "But be extremely careful, please. I know that's not your strong suit."
"I'm super careful." JJ retorts.
"Yeah, sure, okay." Brooklyn lets it go. "Seriously, though. Be careful."
"If he tries anything, I'll just steal the little lens thing for myself." JJ says.
"And remember you're a wanted man. So keep your head down cause I don't have mommy and daddy's money to try to bail you out again." Brooklyn says.
"Got it." JJ gives her a small nod. He kisses her on the temple, giving her hand a small squeeze.
"Yeah, that goes for you, too." Erin turns to her boyfriend. "I mean, you're not wanted, but you're associated to him. And if that man's a piece of shit, then--"
"Then you'll kill him, we know, we know, babe." Zack says.
"I'm serious. If he tries something, especially if he gets away with it, I'll drop packing and I'll--"
"Hey, hey, hey." Zack grabs both sides of her head. "I believe you, I love you, and we'll be fine." He kisses her on the forehead. "Just focus on packing."
"I still don't like this." Erin says.
"You don't like a lot of things." Zack chuckles.
"Let's do it." JJ says as Groff reaches them.
