MACKIN' ON MACK

•••Dead Calm Pt.2•••

3rd Person POV

"Why don't I go ahead and see them hands in the air? All y'all's hands up in the air now!" The guy in the mask, demanded.

"You, out of the car! Let's go!" The guy shouted in John B's face.

John B did as he was told and got out of the van.

"Let them out! What are you waitin' on? What you waitin' on? Let them out! All y'all!" The guy kept yelling at John B, forcing him to open up the van's side-door and let the rest of the Pogues out.

"Go on! Go on! Let's get out the car! Let's go!" The masked man was freaking everyone out with all his psychotic yelling.

Sarah was the the first one out, "There you go, pretty girl. Here we go! Get out the car, Hurry up! There you go!"

Everyone made their way out of the van, hands up, waiting for what's next to come.

"We're broke...." JJ tried to explain, tucking Mack behind him protectively.

"Shut the hell up!" The crazy dude screamed.

"All right! Just relax!" JJ tried to calm the guy down, but ended up making everything worse.

"Shut the hell up! Shut up!" The guy kept shaking the gun in JJ's face.

"Chill!" Pope shouted.

"Blow your damn head off!" The masked man threatened.

"Lay down in the ditch! Lay down in the ditch! On your goddamn hands and knees! Down! Put your face on the ground!" The dude commanded, pushing JJ down further.

"Oh oh oh, except you little missy, I heard you've got a mouth on you. You keep standing hot stuff, it'll give me something to look at while I search your little set up here." The guy seethed, you could hear his grin through his mask, he then snaked his arm around Mack's waist, and moved it right onto her ass, feeling her up.

At this point JJ was fuming, and Mack had tears in her eyes, but she wouldn't tear away from his stare, standing her ground.

"Stay here just like that! Put your head down! Don't let me see you look up! All right?! That's all y'all gotta do." And with that he started rummaging around the van, trying to find the gold.

"It's a setup, guys." Kiara whimpered.

"That old bay shanked us. Fuck! Goddamn it!" JJ pounded his fish into the ground in frustration.

Mack then bent down next to JJ, her eyes not leaving the masked man.

"Jay, calm down, he's not gonna get it. I promise." Mack whispered in his ear, kissing the top of his head.

JJ gave her a puzzled look, when they locked eyes, it all clicked. JJ started shaking his head, knowing just what Mackenzie was about to do.

"Wait. No, no, no, no. Mack.... no.." JJ tried to whisper despite his worry for the small blonde.

Mack started making her way towards the cop car that the masked man had pulled up in.

"Mack. Don't be a hero, buddy." Pope warned, everyone's eyes now on the tiny girl who was inching her was towards the cop car.

"Shh." Mack shushed him.

"All right, y'all stay like that. Unless you want your brains blown out all over this road, don't move your goddamn heads, okay?" The psycho dude warned, walking back to the cop car.

Mack's POV

I ran over to the cop car, jumped in the backseat and reached over and took the keys out of the ignition. When I heard the guy shouting at the Pogues I prayed that he didn't notice I was gone.
