As the pogues waited for Lydia to wake up, they decided to get more details about the gold from John B and Sarah. But they didn't want to risk waking Lydia up from the rest she so desperately needed, so they moved out into the living room.
"I know you guys have only been down there once but I think we should start trying to plan for how to get the gold" Pope said
"Okay so like we said, there's a little garage on the runway at the airport and I know for a fact that Ward owns it" Sarah began
"From what we could see, there's security cameras on the building, and two armed guards around the clock. There also seems to be some sort of keypad to enter a code, instead of a traditional lock" John B finished
"Did you guys have a plan in mind?" Kie asked
"You know how bad John B's plans are. I told him we should wait to get input from you guys" Sarah said with a soft smile
Truth be told, none of the pogues were really in the mood to talk about the gold or the plan to get it. They were still really worried about Lydia but they were attempting to distract themselves.
Unfortunately, all JJ could think about was Lydia. He kept flashing back to finding her on the beach even though most of it was a blur. He remembers how cold she felt, and the way her lips were blue. He remembers breathing for her and hating it because kissing her then wasn't like any of their past kisses. It felt wrong, kissing her and not feeling her react to his touch. He had always thought that the worst day of his life would always be the day his mother left, but the pain he felt then, was child's play to the pain he felt now. It honestly felt like his heart had been ripped out and stomped all over, between the break-up and then almost losing her, it was absolutely unbearable.
"JJ" A voice called, pulling him from his thoughts
"Sorry what was the question?" He asked, pretending like he actually cared
"We were just asking what you thought of the plan" John B replied
"Sorry, what plan?" JJ realized he had completely missed their entire conversation
"So you weren't listening at all?" Kie asked
"Come on, give him a break" Pope whispered to his girlfriend
"Anyways, we were planning on having Pope jam the signal for both the security cameras and the walkie-talkies that the guards have. We're hoping that'll be enough to draw them away from the garage but if it isn't, we were planning on coming up with some distraction. That way, we could be in and out, it's definitely not going to give us enough time to get all the gold, but even a couple bars to help us out until we can come up with a better plan is worth it" John B explained
"Yeah, yeah, that sounds good. I'm just gonna head back to her room if we're done" JJ just wanted to be near her, to see that she was okay
The group nodded and JJ began walking down the hallway, only to be pulled into a room.

Lydia awoke with a pounding head and a deep ache in her bones. It honestly felt like she had been hit by a bus. Nevertheless, she decided that she wanted to go and try to find her friends. So she slowly stood up, grabbing onto the wall for support, and tried to walk out of the room.
She had to stop when she realized she had an IV in her arm and being as stubborn as Lydia is, she pulled the IV out. Continuing on her mission of finding her friends, she slowly made her way down the hallway, noticing a door on her right was slightly open, so she peeked in and saw the last thing she was expecting to see.
