MACKIN' ON MACK

•••The Runaway Pt.1•••

3rd Person POV

"How's it feeling?" Pope asks

"Feels good." Kiara nods from the winch.

"Taking you down." Pope informs, slowly letting Kie drop from up in the tree.

"John B pullin' a Houdini." JJ announced to everyone. Him and Mack had their feet dangling in the water of the hot tub.

Kiara and Pope still working on the winch first getting out the rest of the 400 mil.

"Yeah, where is he? I got my scholarship interview tomorrow. We gotta get this done!" Pope sighed.

"Don't stress, Popie! You'll do just fine." Mack smiles, earning a soft smile back from the Heyward boy.

Just then, John B tramples through the backyard, not giving anyone even a glance, swinging open the door of the Château.

"Speak of the devil. Hey! Dude, I set up the entire winch to pull up the gold and everything." JJ shouted.

"No, he did not. I did that." Pope rolled his eyes.

"Oh! And I fixed up the van. Now it won't make that "eerrergghhaaaaakkkkk" sound." Mack chuckled.

"Hey, John B...." Kiara tried you get his attention.

But he just ignored everyone.

"Someone's on their man period...." Mack mumbled.

"Hey." Pope called out.

"Okay, that's it?" JJ asked.

"Uhh.... what's that all about?" Pope asked, glancing between the 3 other Pogues.

"I was gonna ask you the same question." JJ stated, swinging his feet around the side of the hot tub, reaching over to help Mack out as well.

"Well, we're about to find out." Mack sighed, leading the group inside the Château.

When they came through the door, they could see John B just ripping the place apart, frantically looking for something it seemed.

"You all right, man? What.... what's up?" Pope tried to get John B to talk.

"What are you looking for?" Kiara asked.

"Bro, what's going on, man?" JJ asked, as John B made his way to the couch, flipping over its cushions.

"Johnny, you're scaring me with all the silence." Mack's voice wavered, her eyes trying to read
John B's.

John B started tearing apart the pull out couch, taking JJ's gun into his hand.

"John B, what do you need the gun for? Talk to us!" JJ tried to grab John B by the shoulders, only to be shoved down onto the pull out couch.

"John B, chill! What are you doing?" Kiara warned.

Pope then tried to block JJ from going out the front door, "what, are you JJ now?" John B didn't respond, only shoving Pope into the table, out of his way.

"Oh hell no!" Mack shouted, getting more mad than worried at this point.

"Shi.... are you okay?" Kiara asked Pope.

JJ fixed his hat back on his head, everyone following where John B had gone. Mack knew he would try and escape without further questioning, cause that's just how John B is..... So she went for the dirt bike. Sitting herself on the seat, blocking him from getting on immediately.

"John B, what the hell?" Kiara yelled out to him.

Pope, Kie, and JJ all were met with John B and Mack by the dirt bike.
