[ THE MEXICO BULLSHIT ]

"kei! start the car!" john b's voice was heard running out of the police station. "start the car, kei!"

"what? john b?"

"what did you do?"

"the cops!"

"shit."

"go! kei, drive! go!"

"i'm going!"

incoherent shouting consumed the vehicle as they tried to help john b escape the police

kei sat in the drivers seat, pope in passenger seat with john b in the seat behind him. maya and jj sat in the seat beside them after he complained of being uncomfortable enough until she said to get up there before she shut him up herself.

the others were used to them being close, but it was different now that the whole group knew they were definitely something more than friends.

"ow." maya muttered after jj raised up quickly to look at the police car that wailed past.

kei raised up and hit the stereo button, not wanting to listen to the news report any longer.

"let's game this out." jj said, "maybe you guys can help, being the smart ones and all, but... who are the cops going to believe. ward cameron or us? so the accuser is a big shot developer, sort of king of the island, got the government on speed dial sort of person, and the accused is john b, who is... pretty much a homeless 16-year-old boy at the moment."

"thanks." john b said.

"shit." pope said.

"okay, man. yucatan, alright? i'm saying that's the only option. what other option do you have?"

"enough with the mexico bullshit." john b says, "alright? sarah's gonna bail me out."

"she did witness the whole thing." kei said.

"thank you."

"but is she really gonna snitch on her brother?" maya said. "like, no offense, but that is her blood."

"yeah, it's not happening bro." jj said, taking to blunt out of his mouth. "we've gotta get you off the island."

"the ferry. it's the only way." pope says.

"yeah, exit stage left while you still can." jj said, "before the entire island is on lockdown."

"guys, just get down." kei said when another siren was heard.

"sarah's not a pogue, john b." pope says.

"yeah. you can't stay here, man." jj said, laying back down in the chair after hovering over maya for the past few minutes.

"okay.. alright, okay." pope says, walking back over to the car.
