School was now over and the group was back the The Wreck with high hopes.

"Kiara, I need those setups done by five!" Anna yelled as they walked out the back door.

"There are other people that work here!" Kiara yelled back.

"But ain't none of 'em my children!" Anna yelled back.

"I feel that. On a deep, emotional level, I understand that," Pope said making Evelyn laugh.

"So we going to the Bahama's or what?" JJ asked setting his bag down.

"There is no way we're getting to the Bahamas," Pope said.

"We just need to focus on clearing John B's name," Evelyn said.

"Yeah John B will get nabbed sooner or later," Kie said, "So if we're gonna clear his name, we need to have done it like yesterday."

"I'll tell you how we do it," JJ said.

"So you have it all planned out?" Pope asked.

"As a matter of fact, I do," JJ said, "We kidnap Rafe."

"I'm sorry, what?" Evelyn questioned.

"We kidnap Rafe, tie him up and stick the gun in his mouth and just wait until he starts squawking."

"You know, torture's a war crime," Kie said.

"I thought it was a good idea," JJ said.

"So how exactly do you plan on clearing John B's name from a prison cell?" Pope asked.

"Because that's a felony," Evelyn added.

"All right, well, what do you got, Pope?" JJ asked, "I was just trying to keep it simple. You know, one stop, and we're done."

"All we need is a material witness," Pope said, "We saw Ward's plane fly right over our heads with the gold inside of it. He didn't fly it. If somebody else flew, they were there on the tarmac."

"They saw Peterkin get murdered," Evelyn said.

"Exactly," Pope said, "We just have to find whoever that was and get them to confess on record."

"How do we do that?" Kie asked.

"A little light espionage," Pope said.

"A little ghost recon," JJ said putting his hat back on his head.

"Woogity-woogity," Pope said.

"Woogity, baby," JJ said as the two wiggled their fingers together.

"If this guy flew planes for Ward, he's gotta be pretty tight-lipped," Pope said from the passenger seat of Kie's car.

"So then direct approach get's my vote," JJ said cocking the gun.

"JJ!" Evelyn exclaimed looking over at the boy.

"JJ, no," Pope said.

"No. What?" Kie questioned.

"Put the gun down!" Pope yelled.

"We gotta keep this simple, or we'll never get John B off," JJ said.

"Or we just tickle the wire," Pope said holding up AirPods.

"What?" Kie asked.

"We tickle the wire," Pope repeated, "I plant my phone in his car, and then we listen in on your AirPods.

"That's actually genius Pope," Evelyn said from the backseat.

"Say something," Pope said holding phone up to Kie.
