Is coming down hard
I'm your shelter
Every time it starts'

'what made you think it was a good idea to bring the gun out?' I sat across from JJ on the pull out couch of the Château. We'd taken John B home after and left him in his bed to recover from the fight

'what do you expect me to do when my best friend is being drowned?' he smirked back.

'not pull a gun out'

'maybe not fire a gun into the air on a beach full of teenagers'

'maybe, I don't know JJ...help calm the situation down, not start firing a gun' Kie was sat next to me, leading the prosecution with me, in the mini trial.

'well you are an idiot for pulling the gun out' pope added, I could see the panick still in him and the rage in JJ was boiling over.

'well you guys weren't helping where you?' he smirked, seeing the satisfaction in his face of what he just said.

'none of us where gonna pull a gun though were we?' I muttered under my breath in the silence that filled the chateua as I reached to my feet and walked over to the window.

'oh fuck off summer, you're not the perfect person you used to be' he protested, what was his aim with this?

'at least, I'm not pulling guns out and starting fights'

'you always were an uptight bitch, in every area' he muttered, thinking none of us would hear the revelation, hearing it made my blood boil.

'I'd rather be an uptight bitch than an impulsive dickhead' I said loudly and proudly, seeing both kie and pope's eyes widen.

*the next day*

I'd already decided, I wasn't gonna talk to JJ when we all met back at the chateau, kie was sat playing the bongos with concentration covering her face as she lightly played them. 

'Look, I'm callin' it off, All right' John B announced emerging from the back door and walking over. 'Peterkin said, if I stay out of the marsh, she'll help me with DCS' 

'And you believed her?' JJ questioned. 

'Yes, I believe her, JJ' 

'why shouldn't we?' I asked, waiting for him to ignore me as per usual. 

'An actual cop, John . You believed a cop' of course, he ignored me, playing with his lighter in his hands. 

'All I goota do is stay out of the marsh for a coupe days, and shell help me out' John B protested 'it doesn't help that your ass was the one shooting a gun' 

oh fuck 

'you know what I should have done? just let topper drown your ass' the impulsive boy exclaimed, pope, kie and me all staying slient just waiting for the argument to grow. 

'topper was gonna drown me?' 

'kinda looked like it' 

'Yes' everyone chimed in, agreeing with JJ for once. 

they both throw insults at eachother like most brothers did 

'they always win, don't they, man?' JJ continued 'kooks versus Pogues. they always, always win!' 

'guys, chill' I said reaching to my feet.

'look, its okay!' kie exclaimed 

'no, it's not okay' JJ protested 'it is not! they don't want us to go down into the marsh, that means there's something valuable down there , and you know it' his eyes widening, pointing at John B.  maybe there is something down there?
