One with the Pogues [jj x reader]

15. Phantom

We watch the plane leave above us.
"There goes the gold." I sigh.
"Shit!" JJ says as he kicks and breaks a chair.
"Fuck!" Pope yells as he starts breaking everything.

JJ grabs me and pulls me back as he shatters glass.
"Pope!" Kie yells trying to calm him down.

He sits down and cries.

We walk over and JJ offers him his cart.
"A little weed never hurt anyone." He says.
"JJ we know he doesn't smoke." Kie says.

Pope takes it.
"I lost my scholarship. I walked out in the middle of the interview. It's gone. It's not gonna happen."
"You did that for us?"
"No. Not for us, for nothing."

"I'm here for you Pope. Welcome to my world.
"JJ." Kie tries.
"He's right. It doesn't matter." I say.

Pope hits the cart.
"You don't have to do that." Kie says.
"Why do you care?"

I hear someone behind us. It's John B. We run to him. There's blood on his hands.

What did he do?

We can hear a cop.
"Shit." I mutter and we all hide behind the stuff.

John B tells us what happened and how Rafe shot Peterkin.

John B makes us drive to the police station.

"What are we doing here?" JJ asks.
"Somebody's gotta tell them what happened."
"John B they're not going to believe you." I say.
"I have to try."
"You might end up in the lions den but you do not go there on purpose. It's fundamental. Just like my old man always told me, you should never trust cops, no matter the circumstance." JJ says.
"Your old man's an abusive liar." Kie reminds him.
"I agree with JJ. Fuck the police." Pope says.

"You goin to the dark side now?" Kie asks.
"When's the last time they helped us?"
"Peterkin looked out for me." John B says.
"Yeah and look at her now." I say.
"They need to know." He gets out and walks inside.

"This will not be good." I say leaning back.
"I agree." JJ says passing me his cart.

"Kie! Start the car!" John B yells as he jumps in.
"Go!" I yell as two cops come running out.
"What did you do?" Kie yells. One of the cops is grabbing onto the window as she runs.
"Open the door." Pope says to John B. He does and she falls.

"Holy fucking shit." I mutter throwing my head back.

We hide by a shack on the side of the road. There are cops everywhere looking for John B.

"Who are the cops gonna believe, Ward Cameron or us?" JJ says. "So the accuser is a big shot developer, kind of the lord of the island, got the government on speed dial kinda person, and the accused is John B, who is pretty much a homeless 16 year old boy."
"Thanks"
"Shit."

"Yucatán. I'm saying it's the only option."
"JJ stop. Sarah's gonna bail me out."
"She did see the whole thing." I say.
"She's gonna snitch on her brother?"
"Not happening bro. We've gotta get you off the island."

A siren goes off and we all get down.

"Sarah's not a Pogue."
"You have to go." I say.

We drive to the ferry and send Pope to get it. He comes back upset.

"Pope act normal." Kie says.
"Bad news. The ferry's closed and there's this." He hands us a paper with John B on it with a reward of $25k.
"Holy shit." I mutter.

"The whole islands looking for you."
"That's a lot of money."
"Congrats man, you're famous."

We're thinking of what he can do.
"JJ does your dad still have the cigarette boat, the Phantom?"
"Maybe?"
"He could get right up the coast."
"It's not gonna be that easy." I say.
