"–And we were right outside like this–and all we hear is just, 'Bam! Bam! Bam!' Knocking paint off the wall from the inside, and I'm just looking at him–wait first off–"

After John B, JJ and Claire left Lana Grubbs' house, they picked up Pope and Kiara then headed back to the Chateau for a mandatory Pogue meeting to explain what just happened.
Claire had been staring at the ground since she sat down, trying to collect her thoughts while she listened halfheartedly to JJ's dramatic explanation.

JJ walked over to Kie and Pope and started brushing at his hair to show them the remnants of paint.

"–That's dandruff. Disgusting." Kie cringed.

"Okay, thank you." Pope said.

"Look at all that. Alright? That's paint." JJ insisted. "At that point, I was just like...I'm waiting for death."

"Oh, okay, so you saw the guys that shot at us, right?" Pope asked.

"Yeah."

"Did you get a good description of them? What did they look like?"

"Yeah, anything helpful..."

"Anything we can bring to a police report?"

JJ paused for a while to think before replying, "Burly."

"Burly?" Pope asked.

"Yeah. You know, like–"

"–Thats not very helpful." Kiara cut in.

"Okay, well, no, like the type of guy at my dad's garage. I mean, you guys know he made cargo hides for drug smugglers."

"Yes. Yeah, no, we know."

"I can tell you with full confidence, guys. These boys...these killers..." JJ pauses, grabbing the JUUL from his pocket and taking a drag before exhaling. "They're square groupers."

"They're square groupers, like narco square grouper?" Pope asked. "Like Pablo Escobar square grouper?"

"Yeah, man." JJ nodded, exhaling more smoke.

"You guys, not everything is a kingpin movie." Kiara said.

Claire rested her elbows on her knees and rubbed her hands over her face in frustration.

This current conversation was making her growing headache worse.

"Okay so what does this square grouper look like specifically?" Pope asked.

"You weren't there, bro." JJ protested.

"You don't know what to look for!"

"Dude!" JJ exclaimed, but Claire cut both boys off before they could continue.
