"No," He shakes his head with a smile. She smiles back before the boat starts up.

"You got rope ?" John B says
"Got it." Pope nods
"Grappling hook ?"
"We don't need a grappling hook, John B. We're not Batman." Estrella says
"Pulley ?"
"Check." Kie says
"Dark clothes ?"
"Got it." Sarah says
"Flashlights ?"
"Check." JJ says
"All right, good. We're ready." John B says as he gets out to come around to open the door.
"Let's go." Kie says
"Wait, wait." John B says, "I wanna say thank you, guys. Seriously. It means a lot to me that you're here tonight."
"Always." Kie says
"Of course, man." Pope says dapping him up
"My man."
"Awe, how sweet." Estrella jokes
"All right, we done with the circle jerk ? Can we go do this ?" JJ says
"Yeah."
"Let's get that wheat in the water." Pope says as they get out.
"Weed ? I'm up for weed."
"Wheat. I said wheat."
Sarah goes over the wall first. Everyone else following her before they crouch down to sneak into the yard. As they get closer, the lights come on.
"Shit !" Sarah says as they all squat down to hide behind bushes and trees.
"Okay..." Pope breathes, "Okay, so she has motion sensor lights."
"We could, uh... move really slowly, maybe ?" JJ says
"What ?" Sarah says
"That's not how it works." Pope says
"Oh, shit. Let's throw a rock at it." John B says
"What ?"
"That's an amazing idea. Let the axe murderer know that we're here." Estrella deadpans
"Throw a rock at it ?" Pope says
"You have a better idea ?" John B says
"Literally anything but that." Kie says
"What about the breaker ? In the circuit box on the porch." Sarah says, "We used to play hide-and-seek here as kids. And if we were brave enough, we'd go all the way up to the porch. I've seen it."
"No, no. You're not going in the house alone." John B says
"Watch me."
"Crain chops people into pieces." JJ says
"If you believe that, but she's like what, 85 ?"
"Yeah, somethin' like that."
"She's probably barely still kicking."
"Here. I'll go with you." Kie says
"Yeah."
"Me too." Estrella says. Sarah smiles at her.
"We'll wait for your signal." Pope says
"Okay, cool." Sarah says as they start to get up and walk over.
