Chapter Fourteen:
Fucking Liar

"Pope, we're not stealing the drone!" John B insisted, ignoring Pope's eye roll. "We're borrowing it."

"Illegally." Fallon pointed out as JJ hummed in agreement. "Completely illegal."

"Humans are the only animal that can't tell fantasy from reality." Pope said stubbornly.

"Did you come up with that?" John B asked, glancing back at him from the mirror.

"Dude, Albert Bernstein came up with it, but it applies to this whole treasure-hunt thing." Pope continued as Fallon nodded.

"Oh." John B quieted, pursing his lips and clearing his throat as he looked away, "R-right."

Fallon huffed, "But without it, all it is here is Kooks vs Pogues. Which is complete bullshit."

"How they treat us is complete bullshit." JJ countered, looking up at her and tilting his head.

Fallon paused, nodding slowly. "I-I mean... Yeah, uh, fair enough."

"So," Pope said, turning around to face John B. "Which is it? Fantasy or reality?"

"I wanna work with the fantasy genre!" Fallon answered cheerfully, a large grin spreading across her face as she stretched out her legs, sticking her tongue out at JJ as she rested her legs in between his. "Reality it B-O-R-I-N-G!"

"Why are you so weird, Pope?" JJ asked, glancing up at Fallon as her eyes moved from him to Pope and Kie.

"Fantasy, but possible reality." Kie answered confidently after a moment of silence.

"Reality." John B repeated, his voice soft as he took in the amount of money they could possibly get their hands on.

"Virtual reality." JJ scoffed, flicking his lighter on and bringing it to the joint resting between his lips.

Pope rolled his eyes, plucking the joint from JJ's lips and tossing it across the van. Fallon flinched as it landed in her lap, shooting Pope a look as she picked it up and tossed it back to him. "Keep the signal clear."

JJ huffed, his shoulders slumping as he flicked the lighter shut as the van slowed to a stop. "You know what your problem is?"

"You?" Pope countered, raising his eyebrows.

"No!" JJ shook his head, looking towards Fallon as Kie got out of the van. "It's that you're always so tense."

"Get my man a massage." Fallon nodded, "I can book you one wear my mom works, but she won't do it because that would be weird for you, right?"

"You need to relax." JJ continued, looking back at Fallon for back up. "Right?"

"Totally." Fallon nodded, raising her arms above her head as she stretched.

"I'm not too tense." Pope argued, rolling his eyes.

"Hey," John B leaned out the window, "Don't worry, you got this."

"It's not me I'm worried about." Kie joked, referencing JJ and Fallon.

"Got it." John B trailed off, nodding slowly as Kie walked towards the small security post. "Let's hope this works."

"Hey," Fallon looked up from her hands. "Uh, this won't involve, like, security or guard dogs or anything, right?"

JJ blinked, slowly shaking his head and pursing his lips. "Nah."
