Back at the wreck Alexa watch as the night turned to day. She could see the high wear off her boyfriend's face and the anxiety begin to set in.

There was a grim silence as all they could do was hope John B was okay. Kiara and Pope were actually able to get some rest but as for JJ and Alexa. The girl would only sleep if the other would. JJ had spent the whole night just staring out into the lake, therefore that's what she did as well.

As sirens could be heard, Pope arose from his bed of napkins and walked over to the couple.

"He's pinched for sure man." JJ bit the inside of his cheek. His nerves running wild. Alexa grabbed his hand and held it tight for comfort.

"No they wouldn't still be patrolling." Pope shook his head in denial.

"You know we were in that car they're probably looking for us too." Kiara spoke from behind. Seemingly having been listening and not actually sleeping.

"We're his only friends. They're definitely looking for us" Alexa sighed rubbing the pendant on her neck.

"Well if we're gonna be outlaws, might as well help him." Pope had this dark look on his face. He looked serious like he had aged.

Pope marched over and grabbed the keys to the bike.

Alexa shared a look with JJ but it looked like he was on a mission. Pope looked scary and determined. Something none of them ever really saw.

"Hey you be careful." Kiara's soft voice stopped Pope who just blankly stared.

Then he did something he had never really done. He ignored her.

"Meet me at the dock at three. Don't be late." He demanded in a low voice towards the couple before walking out.

Kiara walked out behind him angrily.

"You think they hooked up?" JJ asked as the two hurriedly followed behind.

"Don't be stupid..." Alexa shook her head.

She wouldn't believe it, maybe Pope had a crush on Kiara. But if Kie had ever felt an ounce of feelings towards him, Alexa would know. But then it all clicked maybe that was the issue, unrequited love.

They watched as Pope revved his engine over whatever Kiara was trying to explain.

"Pope being an asshole, never thought I'd see the day." JJ mumbled

"What did you do Kie?" Alexa asked her self.

The two were intrigued over what had gone down. But seeing the two argue during a time when they had to be united, didn't feel good.

"I'm trying to talk to you!" Kiara exclaimed

The only response she got were tires squeaking as they drove away. Pope hurriedly left behind his hurt and anger.

"I'm gonna go after him, probably going to his dad's." She expressed with a face of sadness.

"Is that really the best idea?" Alexa asked, as it seemed like Pope really wanted nothing to do with her.

"We shouldn't be split like this, it's not safe for him to be on his own. You should go, so we can all say our words, use our brains, and actually help John B." JJ spoke up.

Once again he was mediating which almost never happened but he was right. Maybe they did need to fix whatever was wrong before they could do anything else.
