THE DOCKS

"Okay we don't tell John B about what happened. No one says a peep. Okay?" JJ announces.

"Agreed." Pope says, nodding.

"Dude where is he?" Kiara asks, getting worried.

"Give him a second. He'll be here." Pope reassures.

"He's coming. He'll be fine." JJ says, as a cop car with sirens blaring pulled up.

"JJ!" Kie calls.

"Hey, yeah.Get back on the boat. Get back on the boat. Untie it!" JJ says.

"Shit." Kiara says, heading towards the boat. They saw John B coming out of the car.

"Wait. No way." JJ says, seeing that John B "borrowed" a cop car.

"No f'ing way." Pope says, not believing that John B got the cop car.

"I'm sorry.." Kiara says.

"You've gotta be kidding me." JJ says, excited.

"Uhhhh?" Kiara asks, confused.

"Shoupe let me take it for a spin." John B jokes.

"Okay. That's believable. I'll buy that for now.." Kiara says, hugging John B.

"It wasn't easy bro. But I got the Phantom for you and she runs like she was made yesterday. You ready to go?" JJ asks.

"Where's Violet?" John B asks.

"She's got a little situation going on." JJ says, if he told John B what happened he would've stayed to help Violet.

"What situation?" John B asks, concerned.

"Well.. uh... there was a. little situation at the garage. But she's taking care of it. And she's working hard to clear your name." JJ says.

"Where's Sarah?" John B asks.

"She's not with you?" Kie asks.

"No-no, we got separated in the swamp. She said she was gonna meet me here." John B says.

"No, we haven't seen her." Pope says.

"Okay well I'm not leaving without her." John B says.

"John B, look at me. I know you feel bad for leaving, but there's no time, man. You've got plenty of gas, plenty of food. Once you get around that point it's a straight shot across the sound to Dismal Swamp, okay? Once you get there, lay low, alright? Hang out for a couple week and then go overland. Cross the border at Brownsville, you got that?" JJ asks. John B was zoned out, sad about Sarah.

"Brownsville." JJ repeats, not getting a response from John B.

"Brownsville. Hey! You got that?!" JJ repeats, grabbing John B's face.
