"There she be" JJ called out, as they pulled up to the garage currently housing the Phantom, "Hey, girl. A 1983 Formula 402 SR1. The Phantom. First boat to make the run to Bermuda in under 16 hours, 40 years old! And she's still the fastest thing that Kildare's ever seen"
"It's kind of a junker" Kie muttered
"Really? She's right there, Kie. She can hear you" JJ faked shock, "Let's just put it this way, you would not be smoking weed right now if she never existed, okay?"
"I just hope it runs" Kie replied
"Oh, no, she'll run all right. She's faster than any cutters the boys in blue got" JJ was absolutely convinced that this boat was John B's ticket out of there
They heard a motorcycle in the distance, Lydia realized that Pope must've been on his way to them,
"Pope, finally" Kie replied, as the motor cut off on the other side of the boat
To their dismay, their visitor was not Pope, but in fact Rafe and Barry
"How you guys doing?" Rafe asked, approaching the group
"Well, well. See, don't think I forgot about me and you on the side of the road" Barry yelled, cocking his gun and pointing it at JJ, "I'm here because I want my motherfucking money"
Kie yelled for JJ as Lydia started towards Barry
"Not so fast" Rafe taunts, grabbing her arm, "I don't think we had a chance to finish what we started the last time I saw you"
"Rafe!" JJ yelled, he couldn't stand the fact that Rafe, once again, had his hands on Lydia. But he had his own problems, he was currently fighting Barry, who was ultimately gaining the upper hand since JJ was distracted
Lydia wrestled in Rafe's grip as Kie tried to pull on Rafe's arm, only to be shoved into the boat
"Kie!" Lydia yelled, managing to land a punch on Rafe
"I really wish you didn't do that" Rafe growled, grabbing Lydia by the throat and pinning her against the wall
"Haven't we figured out that choking me doesn't work" Lydia spat, even if she was currently losing oxygen quickly, she had to get a jab in at Rafe. Lydia was stubborn like that
JJ continued to wrestle with Barry, Kie trying to help where she could
"Plus, I know what you did" Lydia muttered
"What? What did I do?" Rafe questioned, his eyes only growing more and more angry and hateful
"You murdered Peterkin" Lydia chuckled, Rafe's eyes widened as he heard what she said. She had really set him off this time and she knew it.
Rafe threw her into the boat, Lydia landing in a pile on the floor, trying to blink away the stars clouding her vision
"Rafe!" Kie said, pushing him away from Lydia
"Don't you ever fucking say those words again. Understand" Rafe said, getting in Lydia's face
Meanwhile, Lydia had caught JJ's gaze. He was currently in a similar position as her, Barry was beating the shit out of him as he tried to block his face while on the ground
"Don't fucking touch her" JJ yelled at Rafe
"Where's John B, Lydia?" Rafe asked, pushing Kie away with one arm, holding Lydia down with the other
"I don't know!" Lydia yelled
Suddenly, the pressure was lifted off of JJ and he wasted no time in tackling Rafe off of Lydia. Pope had arrived, clocking Barry with a pipe he had found, kicking the gun away from the group. JJ and Rafe struggled, before Kie had pulled him off. She definitely wasn't expecting Pope to go after Rafe
