CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE

—✰—

hours passed and the crew got back to the cut, driving around in the dark in avanis car, headed to the police station, coming to a stop

"john b what the hell are we doing at the police station?!" JJ grunted

"somebody's gotta tell them what happened?!" john b sighed, being cut off by pope coughing over and over

"easy there, chief! goddamn" JJ said

"alright. i'm just gonna be real with you, man. you might end up in the lions den, but you don't go there on purpose. it's fundamental. just like my old man always told me! you should never ever trust cops no matter what the circumstance is." JJ said

"your old mans an abusive liar, JJ" avani rolled her eyes.

"i agree with JJ. Fuck da police" pope said

"what you going to the dark side now?" kie scoffed

"when have the police ever helped us? huh?" pope asked

"they helped to find out who shot me! and put us all through hell and back within two days" avani said

"yeah well they ended up dead and found in a fishing net, did they not?" JJ said, avani turning to glare at him

"just shut up, JJ. peterkin still helped me out and she deserves better than this. better than rafe murdering her. after what he did to me too, he deserves to rot in prison and by john b telling the cops, that'll finally happen and he'll leave me alone!" she said, raising her voice louder as she spoke.

everyone went silent after avani spoke until john b spoke up.

"peterkin looked out for me, alright! tried to at least. they need to know" john b sighed

both kie and avani nodded at him, gesturing for him to go ahead as the car was full of silence, until he got out and slammed to door after him, heading into the sheriffs station.

minutes went by that felt like hours, and finally john b came running out, yelling at avani to start her car and drive

he jumped in the back seat, slamming the door and one of the deputies shirt getting stuck within the door as she chased him, getting dragged along the side of the car as avani drive off

"let her go! open the door!" avani shouted along with everyone asking him what in the hell he had done.

hours past and the four hid out as cops sped past every few minutes.

some time during the night they had switched cars from avanis to kies as hers would've been on the lookout by cops as that was the last vehicle they were spotted in.

kie and pope sat in the front seats of her car as john b, JJ and avani lay back with the seats down in the back seats, overhearing the quiet radio in the background with reports every second about the shooting of sherif peterkin that john b was accused of.
