Prissy didn't get much sleep, the images from the day replayed in her head over and over. From the boat wreck to the motel to the gun pointed at her brothers head. Not to mention Scooter Grubbs' dead body.

She woke up to Sheriff Peterkin pulling up at John B's house. She immediately got nervous. Peterkin got out of her car and approached the girl on the hammock.

"Priscilla Thornton?" She asked. Prissy nodded. "Your brother called, twice. Once last night and once this morning! He said you were at the beach, a fight broke out and then you didn't come home. Is that correct?" Peterkin asked her.

"Yes, but I'm sure he failed to mention that the fight was between him and John B!" Prissy stated.

"You're right, I don't know much about it but as long as John B and your brother are alright we shouldn't have to find out more!" Peterkin told her. Prissy relaxed a little at that point. "You shouldn't really be sleeping outside!" Peterkin said, after a moment of very awkward silence.

"Probably not, but John B was unconscious when we brought him home and I didn't want to scare him when he woke up!" Prissy told her.

"Is he awake now?" Peterkin asked. Prissy shrugged. "Well I've really got to speak to him, how about we go check?" Peterkin asked.

"Sounds like a plan!" Prissy said.

Prissy waited outside while Peterkin talked to John B. She thought it was best, in case it was personal. Peterkin made a comment about how John B should clean up as she walked out.

"Go home and tell your brother that you're safe!" Peterkin told her, as she was leaving. "Will do!" Prissy said, before walking into John B's. Right as she walked in John B threw an empty beer can at the wall.

"Are you okay?" Prissy asked him. He looked a bit startled.

"I'm still alive, what're you doing here?" John B asked.

"JJ would have killed me if I'd gone home, Topper probably would have too. He called the cops on me, twice!" Prissy told him.

"He did get a gun pulled on him, then you walked off with the dude who pulled a gun on him. Makes sense!" John B said laughed.

"You were right about the beer. You didn't have to get the whole gang on me though, well I didn't get a Pope lecture before the fight broke out!" Prissy said.

"What? I only told Kie to talk to you!" John B said.

"I'm sorry about the fight by the way!" Prissy told him.

"Why are you sorry?" John B asked.

"I basically caused it. I got you mad because I was drinking, then I got JJ mad because I was hanging around Rafe and then Topper got mad that I was around JJ. I always find a way to cause trouble wherever I go!" Prissy said, she felt tears pricking her eyes and prayed they wouldn't be visible.

"It wasn't your fault, JJ can't control who you hang out with and Topper shouldn't either!" John B said.

"JJ was pretty pissed at me, although I'm pissed with him too. I was too tired to scream at him last night so he's still in for a good lecture!" Prissy told John B. "What did you decide about Scooter?" Prissy asked, remembering she didn't actually know.

"We reckon it was smuggling, there's probably a truck load of contraband on that boat!" John B said, laughing a little. "Did you sleep outside?" John B asked.

"What? No!" She lied. He rolled his eyes. After a while of the two teens talking,the rest of the gang showed up.

"Look I'm calling it off, alright?" John B said, after the group had been sat in silence for a while. "Peterkin said if I stay out of the marsh she'll help me with DCS!" John B told them. JJ snapped at him for believing her. "Look, all I've got to do is stay out of the marsh for a couple of days and she'll help me out. It doesn't help that your ass was the one shooting the gun!" John B snapped.

"You know what I should've done? Man I should've just let Topper drown your ass!" JJ said.

"Sure, cause Topper was gonna drown me!" John B said, looking awkwardly at Prissy. This was a conversation she didn't want to have.

"Sure looked like it!" JJ said. "I mean have you looked in the mirror recently?" JJ asked.

"JJ, stop!" Prissy said, getting annoyed by him trash talking her brother. John B told JJ to tell him some more.

"They also win, don't they man? Kooks vs pogues. They always, always win!" JJ yelled.

"Look, it's okay!" Kie yelled. Prissy felt really tense. It didn't help that her brother had called the police, twice.

"No, it's not okay! It is not. They don't want us to go down into the marsh, that means there's something valuable down there. You know it man!" JJ said, pointing at John B. "I know you do. And I understand why you don't wanna go!" He said, pointing to Pope. "You're the golden boy. You got way too much to loose. And you two, you're already rich as fuck anyway!" JJ said to Kie and Prissy.

"Why would you bother? But you and me man, we got nothing to loose!" JJ yelled. "We really don't. And I know it didn't use to be that way for you!" JJ said.

"I don't wanna talk about this!" John B said to him. "I don't wanna talk about it!" He added, quietly. JJ then went on to tell John B about his amazing plan to steal from the Cameron's.

He also made a comment about how rich kids don't go into foster care. "You know JJ, I don't think it's the best plan to steal. The cops are already after me!" Prissy told him.

"Wait, what?" JJ asked, he looked genuinely concerned.

"Topper called the cops, twice. Guess he's kinda pissed I walked off with somebody who held a gun to his head and then didn't come home!" Prissy said.

"Fucking kook. Did he call your dad?" JJ asked. She just shrugged her shoulders. She had absolutely no idea.
