They start talking about strategy, when the phone buzzes on JJ's hands, who had retrieved it earlier from JB. JJ reads the text to himself and becomes very stiff. That's weird.
"Maybe sneak from behind and use JJ as bait." Pope suggests.
"Hey," I frown, "We're not using my boyfriend as bait."
"Oh, come on. He'll just have to stand in the middle of the field." Pope keeps teasing me.
"Uh, little announcement." JJ says, scratching the back of his neck nervously, "Never mind. I just tracked your location. And I'm sending my men. They'll be there in ten minutes to pick you up."
The group falls silent. Not even the wind dares to whistle right now. JJ is looking everywhere but at our faces, and John B is silently taking deep breaths. I'm sure he's trying to keep himself together and not murder his best friend.
"What- What did you just say, Maybank?" I purse my lips, squinting my eyes at him.
"Oh, don't call me Maybank." He says in a high-pitched mumble. He knows he's in trouble.
"Wait a minute. Did you turn off your location?" John B asks.
"So-"
"You didn't turn the location off?!"
The five of us automatically jump towards him, trying to take the phone out of his hands to prevent further damage.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" He yells, trying to back away from us.
"Turn the location off!"
"I have a Samsung!" JJ yells, tossing the phone to John B.
"All phones work the same!" I yell.
"I have a Samsung too!"
"This right here is why you need a plan!"
"Oh, god. We're gonna die." I groan, rubbing my eyes with the heels of my hands.
"Everybody relax for a second!" John B screams. "Let's just think about this!"
"What are we gonna do?"
"It's done, okay?" John B defends JJ. "Gotta figure something out."
"And hope he doesn't kill us?"
"We're running out of time." Cleo reminds us.
"Oh, fuck. Fuck, fucking fuck!" I yell, walking backwards.
I trip and I fall backwards. Cleo widens her eyes and catches my wrist just in time before I fall down - again - down the massive hole on the floor.
"Jeez, thank you, C." I nod towards Cleo. A snort leaves my mouth before I can stop it and I laugh, pointing behind me with my thumb. "Imagine if I had actually fallen down there, huh?"
Every one stays silent, and looks at me as if I had grown two heads. I stop laughing abruptly and search for JJ's eyes. He's staring at me, lost in his thoughts.
"What?" I mutter, glancing at my friends.
"Well, I have an idea." JJ speaks, "I know you guys might not wanna hear it, but we got home-field advantage. We can turn this around."
JJ puts on a bucket hat God only knows where he's found it, and adjusts the strap. "We're gonna booby-trap this shit."
"On a second thought I may prefer jumping down this hole."
"We're not running from this guy. This is our best chance to get Kiara back."
"Okay, I'm listening, Jayj." I say, nodding my head.
