"Guys, guys, is that them?" Kie asked nervously, looking around.

"No.." JJ mumbled, shaking his head as he looked over at Fallon. She turned her head, locking eyes with him. Fear shining clearly in her eyes, she reached up and nervously tugged on the tassels hanging from her crop top. "No, no, no."

"Oh, fuck." Fallon muttered, frantically shaking her head as she backed away from the window. "Are we gonna die? I don't wanna die! I could have already died because we all know that after we die our life flashes before our eyes, so that could be happening now! Speaking on that, did you guys know that if you get your head lopped off, you're still conscious for, like, a minute or something?"

"You're rambling, Fallon." Pope muttered as he watched her fearfully pace back and forth.

"Yeah? Am I? Sorry, I'll just stop freaking out before we all die horribly by square groupers!" Fallon snapped, shaking her head. "Sorry, sorry."

"John B, I told you! Why does it always-" JJ ranted, running his fingers through his hair. 

"JJ! JJ, hey, hey, hey." John B interrupted, grabbing JJ by the shoulders. "Look at me. Where's the gun?"

"Gun? Uh, I-I can't, I-" JJ stammered, words tumbling from his mouth.

"Now we don't have the gun, the one time we need the gun?" Kie said, her voice dripping with panic. 

"It was in my backpack and then I-" JJ mumbled, squeezing his eyes shut to try and remember where he left the bag. 

"Backpack? On the..." John B trailed off, as JJ slowly nodded in realization. 

"On the porch." JJ continued as Fallon shook her head. 

"Go, go."

"John B, no." Fallon muttered as JJ turned his head to look at her. He nodded weakly, a silent way of letting her know he would be fine. "Be careful, JJ."

"Guys.." Kie cried, her voice cracking with fear as she shook her head and backed towards the window. Fallon bit her lip watching as JJ crept through the doorway, peeking both ways to double-check if anyone was going to catch him.

"Fuck. I can't watch." Fallon whispered, covering her face with her hands. She jumped at the sound of the door being kicked in, quickly pulling her hands from her face to look at JJ.

"John Routledge!" A man's voice echoed through the house as JJ scrambled back into the office, slamming the door behind him. "Come on out now! Where's the compass?"

"Where's the gun?" John B asked quietly as he and JJ shared a look.

"They're on the front porch, guys." JJ answered uneasily. A heavy atmosphere fell over the room as Fallon and Kie shared a look. 

"Routledge!" The man's voice boomed around the house,  "Get out here!"

"Guys.." Fallon whispered as she shook her head. "Guys-"

"Where you at, boy?"

"We have to get out of here. Guys, guys. Windows, the windows." Kie said urgently as Pope and JJ rushed over to the windows. "Hurry!"

"Sack this place!"

Fallon wrapped her arms around her torso, squeezing her eyes shut as she shook her head quickly. "Oh, fuck.. I-I don't wanna die."

"What-what's happening? What's taking so long?" Kie asked as Pope and JJ struggled to open the window.

"It's painted shut, okay?"
