"And where have you two been?" John B smirked as JJ and Evelyn walked out of the house.

"Oh uh--" Evelyn stammered looking at JJ.

"We were just talking," JJ finished.

"That's why your shorts are on backwards," Sarah said.

Evelyn and JJ both looked down at their short in a panic making John B and Sarah laugh.

"Haha, I see what you did there," Evelyn said.

"Why would you two be so concerned about your pants being on backwards if you just talked?" John B asked.

"Shut up man," JJ said throwing an empty beer can at him.

"Hey!" John B said dodging the can and throwing up his hands, "I'm not judging."

"I think you two are cute," Sarah smiled.

Evelyn smiled up at JJ who smiled back at her.

"Well I--"

"Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait," John B said cutting JJ off.

"What?" JJ asked.

"What was that?' John B asked.

"Your chickens?" JJ asked as the chickens clucked.

"I heard a car door," John B said.

JJ started clucking like a chicken making Evelyn reach up and cover his mouth.

"What if it's Rafe?" Sarah asked standing up.

"We gotta hide," John B said.

"Let's take the boat and get out of here," Evelyn whispered.

"We can't," John B said dumping his drink on the fire.

"What? Why?" JJ asked.

"Pope and Kie took it right after you two went inside," Sarah said.

"All right, Pope," JJ smirked.

"Shh," Evelyn shushed him, "So where are we going to hide?"

John B looked around as his eyes fell on the tree, "Up there."

"In the tree?" Sarah asked.

"Do you have another idea?" John B questioned making the girl shake her head, "Well hurry up then."

Evelyn walked toward the tree as JJ held his hands together to boost her up into the tree. She grabbed ahold of a branch pulling herself up and started to climb. Once they were all hidden up in the tree they quietly listened trying to figure out who was here.

Evelyn watched as Rafe walked under the tree and Barry when into the house. Evelyn tried to calm her breath since Rafe was right below them. A loud crash came from the house as Barry shoved open the door.

"Yo!" Rafe yelled, "Anything?"

"No, ain't shit in there, bro," Barry said.

"No? Nothing?" Rafe asked.

"No, nothing, Rafe," Barry said.

"They were obviously just here based off the smoke, man," Rafe said pointing at the fire.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Great observation, Boy Scout," Barry said.

"They're not far, you know?" Rafe said getting more irritated.

"Smokey the Bear, look at you bro!" Barry yelled.

"They gotta be around here somewhere," Rafe said looking around.
