thirty: Yo Soy Justicia.

THEY arrive to where Barry lived, driving down the dirt road towards a trailer. "Welcome to Crackhead Wasteland." Sarah says as they drive up. "I don't know about this, man." Pope says right when JJ comes to a stop, parking.

"Dude, why are we at Barry's?"

"This will only take a second." JJ got out and John B watched him. "Where you going?" He asked and Kai opens the back of the van. "Yo soy justicia." He said and Kai was quick to follow after the boy into the house. "Did you glean anything from that?" Pope asked and Sarah looks at John B. "Does Kai have it under control?" She asked him.

"Y-Yeah, I'm sure..." John B nods and Kai just watched JJ dig through the kitchen area. "JJ..." He says but JJ doesn't stop as he talks to himself, "I know you got a stash around here somewhere..." He muttered and Kai sighed.

"Um... so what exactly is your plan?" Kai asked as JJ now goes into the livingroom area. "He stole from us. So we shall steal from him." He says and Kai sighed. "I don't think that's a good idea..." He followed after JJ. "An eye for an eye, Kaikai." He says and Kai grabbed his arm. "Yeah, but what happens after you rob a drug dealer? He knows who we are. He said so himself." He said and JJ scoffs, rushing right past him.

"I'm not scared of this guy." He said, heading right through the kitchen and down the hall. "JJ!" Kai groans and followed after him. He walks into a bedroom to see JJ pour out cash from a bag. "JJ. No." He says and JJ looks over. "JJ. Yes. We're getting even, baby, don't even worry about it. Alright?" He smiled a bit.

"JJ..." Kai crossed his arms and JJ just kissed him gently. "Come on. Let's go." He said and grabbed Kai's hand, interlocking their fingers. He pulled him back down the hall to where the front door was. "Took care of business." JJ said as he walks over to the van and John B walks over, pulling him away from Kai who walks over to the others, watching his boyfriend and his best friend.

"If you keep going down this road, you're gonna end up just like your dad, do—" JJ grabs the front of John B's shirt harshly. "You watch your mouth, man. Aren't you tired of being messed with?" He asked. "That's not the point, JJ." John B said as he glanced away before looking back at him.

"Cause I am." He lets go off John B's shirt before looking through the bag. "Alright, so we're looking at five grand each for reparations for putting us through that bullshit." He says and Kai looks at him. "So that's what we're doing now? We're robbing drug dealers?" Kie asked them.

"This Barry's guy gonna find out." Sarah voiced her concern. "And he's gonna come after us." She added, looking at Kie. "Yes, he will. This is not the time to start wilin' out." Pope looked at JJ and Kai sighed. "How'd you guys like having a gun pulled on you?" He said and John B walks over. "Relax." He said quietly to the blond boy.

"He had it right here on you, bro." JJ said, pointing at John B. "Look, we've gotta go get the gold, okay? Just give me that shit. We're putting it back." He grabbed the bag but JJ shoved him against the van, making Kai flinch at the sudden action. "Do you feel like a tough guy? Huh?" John B said and Kai watched the two in worry.

"What are you gonna do when he comes for us?" John B asked. "We punch him in the throat." JJ said and Kai sighed, crossing his arms. "Yeah, good fucking idea, JJ." John B says and JJ looks down. "I'm not putting it back." He said and got into the van after taking the bag back.

"You guys getting in or what?"

Pope looked at John B, all of them unsure and JJ got out then, "what?" He says, his hands on his hips. "We're sick of your shit." John B says as he walks closer to him and Kai looks down. "Oh, my shit?" JJ said and John B nodded.

"Yeah. Yeah. Your shit." John B says. "Yes. Your pulling guns on people shit." Kie said as she looked at the blond boy and Pope looks at him. "You acting like a freaking maniac—" "Okay, Pope, I took the fall for you, man! Know how much I owe because of you?" He asked the boy.

"I'm gonna pay you back, and I didn't even ask you to do that!" Pope exclaimed at him. "I just did! Pay it back..." He said quietly and Pope stared. "Right here, right now, by myself." He says and looked at Kai. "And you know what? That's exactly what I'm gonna do. Go off by myself." He said as he grabs the bag of cash before walking away.

"JJ..." Kai said, about to go after him but John B stops him. "Hey, wait, man..." He says and held back Kai. "Just let him go..." Sarah said before they all got into the van. Kai watched JJ walk away, feeling extremely guilty before he got into the van, closing the door right behind him.

I love him... and I still took their sides over him. Kai thought as he stared out the window, his arms together and resting his elbows on his lap before looking at the others who were all quiet. "Hey, it's gonna be fine." Kie whispered to him and he looks at her, shaking his head before looking out the window, crossing his arms over his chest. "I don't think so..." He whispered to himself.
