It was now the day after my hopes and dreams had been ruthlessly crushed by whatever upper being there is. I don't know if there's a god or some kind of satan?
We were all messed up in our own ways but we were looking forward to watching this movie.

"I'm so glad they decided to keep this going." Kie spoke, smiling as we walked into the outdoor movie theatre. "You know, arent you glad i made you come?"
"ecstatic." Pope sighs.
"My couch was pretty comfy, I'll be honest." JJ cleared his throat, looking at Kie.

John b wasn't with us for some reason, maybe he was off trying to find another solution to find the gold or whatever. I think that the rest of us had given up hope at this point. We could only take so many hits and i think that was the final one. If the gold wasn't there then where was it?
I placed myself next to JJ on the ground, smiling at he wrapped his arm around my shoulder.

"We're out of the green zone, man." Pope said, looking at JJ as Kie got up and walked away to go get a drink or something.
"Dude, tranquil. Okay?" JJ responds, trying to wash away Pope's nerves.
"We're in the middle ok kooklandia. This is the last place i wanna be." Pope huffed.
"Shut up, pope." JJ spoke, shushing the boy before he was overhead.

"Pope, don't worry about it bro." I said, looking at the boy. Yes; he had sunk a boat but I doubt he was going to get caught for it. We sat in silence after that, waiting for Kie to come up.

"Just saw Rafe and he said, and i quote, tell your boy we know what he did. What is that?" Kie said, handing JJ us all a drink. Uh oh, Pope had been caught.
"Um, where is here?" JJ asked, trying to hide his shock but ignoring the question Kie had just asked him.
"Right there." Kie looked behind us, causing us all to look. And there they were, the three fucking stooges.

I nearly laughed as Pope quickly jumped around, holding on to the back of his chair. Topper sent a sickening smile towards us.
"Great, the whole death squad." Pope sighed.
"Don't stare bro." JJ removed his arm from my shoulder, instead grabbing Pope's head and turning it back towards the screen.
"Ah!"

I shivered as i turned back around, was it our of fear or was it because it was cold?
"Just warning you bro. If they corner me, I'm coming out swinging. Okay?" JJ stated, looking at me. I had gotten use to his violent but I still worried about him, one day what if Rafe or topper or whoever he was going to fight just got an extreme edge over him and killed him or something?
"Slice and dicin'. I'm on edge right now." JJ continued, looking over to Pope for confirmation that it was okay.

"Yeah, yeah." Pope agreed, nodding his head.
"You both are idiots." I sighed, shaking my head. It's not that I didn't want JJ to fight back if they attacked him again, it's just because I was scared.
"If that doesn't work, i got this right here." JJ said, lifting up his bag and showing it to Pope.

"Put it back down!" I exclaimed, eyes wide in shock as i motioned for JJ to put the bag down with what i assumed to be the gun in it.
"Yeah, yeah. We just gotta stay in the group." Pope spoke, nodding again. Kiara looked at the two boys with a dumbfounded look.

"They can't get us in the group." I said, silently thanking that I was with the pogues minus John B.
"Like a school of fish." JJ agreed.
"Stay in the school, can't leave the school." Pope said, looking up towards JJ.

"I'm sorry, JJ. Please tell me that you did not bring a gun here. JJ, there are kids!" Kie suddenly spoke, looking around at everybody. And she was right, there was kids.
"No!" JJ shook his head, "Kie, I didn't bring the gun. Everything's fine, okay?" he was lying to her because I knew that he had that gun in his bag. I had seen him put it in there.
"Wow, thank you. That's really convincing. I love that JJ. No secrets between pogues, what is Rafe talking about?" She questioned, looking at everyone; including me for some form of answer.
