Chapter twenty one- on the run

3rd POV

Good news for residents of Outer Banks. Dominion Power says their underwater transmission line, which will restore power to 90% of the area.

The group listened to the radio as they heard faint sirens. JJ looked to see the cop cars flying pass them. Meanwhile John B was laying down in the car, out of view.

And still no arrest in the shooting death of Sheriff Susan Peterkin. The state police have issued a statement regarding a local person of interest a juvenile from,

Ki turned off the radio angrily. Sage just sat next to her brother, holding his hand. He held hers back with a tight grip.

"Let's game this out." JJ said breaking the silence. "Maybe you guys can help being the smart ones and all, but, who are the cops gonna believe?" He asked.

"Ward Cameron or us. So the accuser is a big shot developer, kind of lord of the island, got the governor on speed dial kind of person, and the accused..... is John B who is, pretty much a homeless 16-year old boy at the moment."

Sage glared at her boyfriend. John B just closed his and held Sages hand tighter.

"Thanks." John B muttered to JJ.

"Shit." Pope said in frustration.

"Okay man, Yucatán, all right? I'm saying that's the only option." JJ said. "What other option do you have?"

"Enough with the Mexico bullshit, alright? Sarah will bail me out." John B replied, trying not to worry.

"She did witness the whole thing." Kie said. Sages eyes widen.

"I saw it too." She said. "Maybe I should go to the cops. Tell them what actually happened. I should go."

"No, Sage. They won't listen to you and will only use you to find John B." JJ said. "You're not going."

"JJs right they're not gonna believe us. Sarah's our only hope." John B said.

"But is Sarah gonna snitch on her brother?" Pope asked.

"Not happening, bro okay?" JJ said. "We've gotta get you off the island."

JJ looked at Sage who looked back. Sage saw pain behind JJs eyes. It's because he knew that if John B had to leave the island, Sage had to as well.

Sage gave him a light smile, trying to reassure him. He just gave her a slight nod.

"The ferry. It's the only way." Pope exclaimed.

"Yeah. Exit stage left while you still can, man, okay?" JJ said to JB. "Before the entire island is on lockdown."

"Guys get down." Kie said heating more sirens. They waiting till the cops cars passed.

"Sarah's not a Pogue, John B." Pope stated.

"Yeah. You can't stay here man." JJ said.

After awhile they drove to the ferry. Pope got out of the car first to see if any cops were there.

"Okay." Pope said walking to the car slightly panicking. "Okay all right no."

"Pope can you normal?" Kie asked freaking out.

"Okay so um, so bad news." Pope said walking to Kie window. "Ferry's closed and there's this."

He handed Kie the paper in his hand. Her widened as she handed it to JJ. JJ took it and started to read it.

"What is that? What is this?" John B panicked.

"Well John B, uh, this is a good framer of you." JJ said showing him the picture. JJ went back to looking at it and all the sudden the color drained from his face.
