Promises ~ JJ Maybank

*On the run

*Next morning

It was now the next day, we had all slept in kie's car, I didn't get much sleep so I felt like death, I was up think about what went wrong, how we could get out of this. There wasn't much luck. We lay here listen to the radio as police cars continuously drive past, up and down, up and down.

We here on the radio about how there looking for John B so kie turns it off.

Jj: let's game this out. Maybe you guys can help being the smart ones and all, but... who are the cops gonna believe? Ward Cameron or us? So the accuser is a big shot developer kind of lord of the island, for the governor on speed dial kind of person.

He shook his leg up and down as I lay on his stomach.

K: can you stop shaking your leg please?

I whisper,

J: oh sorry

He stops and uses one of his hands to stroke my hair and play with it.

Jj: or erm the accused... is John B. Who is pretty much a homeless 16 year old boy at the moment.

Jb: thanks

P: shit,

Jj: okay man, Yucatan, all right? I'm saying that's the only option. What other option do you have?

Jb: Jj enough with the Mexico bullshit.

They speak over eachother.

Jb: Sarah's gonna bail me out.

Ki: she did witness the whole thing.

P: and she's gonna snitch on her brother?

J: not happening bro,okay?

He sits up a little lifting me with him, I groan at his movements.

Jj: we've gotta Get you off the island.

P: The ferry is there anyway.

Jj: Yeah exit stage left why are you still can. Before the whole island is on lockdown.

We hear sirens. And all get down again.

Ki: guys just get down.

P: Sarah's not a pogue John B

J: yeah you can't stay here man.

*Later that day

We wait looking for the ferry. Until pope comes back to the car.

P: okay So ferry is closed and there is this.

He hands a paper showing a $25,000 reward for John b to be found.

Jb: what's that what is this? What is this?

Jj: well John b this is a good farmer of you.

Jj: okay I'm thinking

P: why is nobody moving forward? What's going on here?

K: can you relax? Jj how much weed did you give him?

Jb: hey kie, your cars on the poster

Pope starts beeping the horn drawing attention to the car, the same one of the poster.
Some kid outside the car starts pointing and shouting at us.

K: shit

Jj: we got a snitch, Pope turn on the car

Them more people start looking.
Everyone's shouting and when pope finally gets the car on the goes straight into the car in front.

K: Jesus pope

Ki: dude back up

We drives the car forward and speeds off, everyone shouting from behind.

J: Sorry

K: What are you doing?

Ki: Watch out! Pope Pope Pope!!

K: Right there!

Pope drives straight into the letter box.

P: oh my god

Jb: Jesus

Ki: what the fuck!?

P: I'm living my best life now.

Ki: my moms gonna kill me!

Jj: I should be the last to say this but you are not okay to drive stop!
Oh jeez

Pope puts a sudden break on the car.

P: John b get out,

Jj: he's right we will draw the cops to you, I'll get the rig and I'll meet you at the dump tomorrow okay? Three o'clock okay!?

John b gets out and runs off. And we start the death drive for a little longer.
