"Did I ever tell you guys about that time I lost my stuffed animal? His name was," Pope rolled his eyes as he sat in the back, high as a kite, "frogger. Yes of course I remember frogger. How could I not, you mourn his loss every other day."

Bondi perked up out of her seat, stretching across JJ. "Hey! Don't speak about frogger like that. He was a legend. Well anyways, back to the point. The day he went missing, god rest his soul, I went to the police. As a seven year old you would have thought they would have helped me find him. But no, do you want to know what they did? They laughed in my face. To this day frogger has never been found. With that, I rest my case. Going to the police is a very bad idea. I don't trust them."

The pogues solemnly glanced at her as they rode to the police station. Not to long after John B made his appearance he notified the group that the sheriff was shot and killed. By who? Well that happened to be Rafe Cameron. To say Bondi was not shocked was an understatement.

JJ grinned at the blondes antics about the stuffed animal and grabbed her into a soft hug. After all the shit that just happened he was glad she was around.

"I'm gonna have to agree with Bondi on this one, all right. I'm just gonna be real with you right now. You might end up in the lions den, but you don't go there on purpose. It's fundamental. Just like my old man always told me, you should never ever trust cops, no matter what the circumstance is."

John B didn't say anything all while Bondi cringed, hearing about JJ's father.

Kiara scoffed, "your old mans an abusive liar."

Pope took another hit, "I agree with JJ. Fuck the police."

Bondi cupped her hand over her mouth in suprise. In all her years she never heard Pope speak in such a tone. "How the tables of turned," she muttered underneath her breath.

Kie shot him a glare, "you goin to the dark side now?"

"When's the last time the police helped us?" Pope argued.

John B finally broke out of his trance, "Peterkin looked out for me all right? Tried to at least."

At his words the group of friends shut up. All wearing grim looks, worried for their friend who had to witness the death. "They need to know."

At his final words John B left the car. As the boy disappeared into the station. Kie turned around in her seat. "You you guys finally a couple?"

Bondis blue eyes widened, "um, um, I mean. No?" She stumbles glancing at JJ's face.

The boy smirked before shutting the girl up with a gentle peck on the mouth. The girl trembled underneath his touch as his warm and familiar lips touched hers. He pulled away and gave the girl a smile. "I don't know, that's up to her." At that he winked in her direction at a blushing Bondi.
