"that's her! that's her! quarter mile on the left! quarter mile!" JJ pointed as the Twinkie started to slowdown.

"guys." Caroline pointed out.

"it's fine, Ace. we made it." John B looked at her.

Caroline nodded at him looking at JJ who grinned at her, she smiled at him and they all climbed out of the twinkie. hiding behind a few trucks so they wouldn't be seen by security, JJ took Caroline's hand as the truck they were hiding behind slowed down and lead her and John B to a gate which JJ opened.

the three ran around the yard before officially hiding behind a giant piece of metal seeing a huge ship.

"wait. the Coastal Venture. dude, i know that ship. my dad did legs on her last summer. it's a total tramp steamer. i worked on her in port." JJ informed the two in a hushed voice.

"there's the cross." Caroline pointed seeing a huge crate being lifted.

"right there. look." John B nodded his head.

there stood Rafe and two workers who were eyeing the crate, "God, i hate that guy." John B growled.

Caroline looked around seeing Rose, Wheezie and Sarah, she tapped John B's arm motioning to Sarah, "there she is."

"JJ, Ace, we gotta come up with a plan." John B whispered.

"i know. i'm working on it. if we get over to that barge, we go over. we'll have to get into the water, though." JJ pointed his finger on where to go leading towards the water.

"that's fine."

"then we're gonna be sitting ducks." JJ added.

"that's not fine." Caroline shook her head.

"howdy." the three jumped turning around to see Kiara.

Caroline gasped hugging her tightly glad Kiara was here with them, "oh thank God."

"whoa! i was about to stab your eyes out." JJ said pointing his fingers.

"you look scared as shit." Kie chuckled once her and Caroline pulled apart.

"how'd you guys even find us?" he asked.

"Ace and i have each other's location." Kiara bent down beside Caroline.

"smart."

"you okay? what happened?" John B asked Pope who was covered in mud.

"Rafe, round three." Pope said, both Caroline and JJ looked at him.

"what?" she snapped.

"are you freaking kidding me? again?" JJ snapped.

"this was a tie." Pope whispered. "is that the cross?"

"yep." JJ whispered.

"they're holding Sarah hostage." John B told Pope and Kiara.

"we have to get on that boat." Kiara added.
