walking between the raindrops, riding the aftershock beside you
off into the sunset, living like there's nothing left to lose
chasing after gold mines, crossing the fine lines we knew
hold on and take a breath, i'll be here every step

They spent an hour more at Isis' before they left to join the boys. Lana made them sandwiches that they ate on their way.
They met their friends at Pope's, and forthright rolled up their sleeves to get behind the counter. Isis dropped a quick kiss on JJ's lips.
"How did it go?" he asked.
"Quite good, I guess," she replied softly, her eyes landing on her feet. "It was good to see her. I think I'll go back tomorrow."
"I'll come with you," he said then.
Isis looked up at him with a grin.
"Really?"
"Yeah, sure."
She let her smile float on her face for quite a while.
"You look silly," whispered Kie in her ear.
"Shut up!"
They spent the whole afternoon serving customers with fish and seafood. Isis, with her waitress experience, was on the front line and used her wider smile. Kie was taking care of the checkout, JJ wasn't helping at all, sitting on the counter, and Pope went back and forth in and out of the shop with a concerned look on his face.
"Hey, Pope?" called Isis after a while. "What's going on, sweetie?"
He stopped next to her for a second, crossing his arms on chest.
"I-- I just can't get it out of my mind."
"What?"
"Last night."
"Yeah, that was crazy," said JJ.
Isis frowned at him.
"What?"
"I don't think that's what he meant."
"Oh. Right."
"Don't worry, Pope," soothed Kie. "It won't happen again, they all got shit scared because of our goddess Isis 'Die Hard' Grubbs right there."
"Come on..." grumbled the concerned with a blush. "Stop praising me, I didn't do anything spectacular."
"I won't add anything, but this conversation isn't over," said Kie.
Isis rolled her eyes up.
"Hey, man," resumed JJ to Pope. "Don't let it get in your head. Three of them and two of us. That's typical Kook shit right there."
