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

Isis was drinking beer from a can when John B came and hugged her from behind. She winced a bit but didn't push him away. He took it as a victory and kissed her temple.
"I'm sorry," he said.
"You don't have to apologize to me," she replied with a shrug.
"Still, I do it."
"Then I accept it. But you really need to do something for Kie and Sarah. I won't stand another fight like that."
"I know," he sighed, sitting next to the sink.
Isis sat on the work surface next to JJ. He snatched her drink from her hands and took a sip. When Pope appeared at the kitchen's door, John B threw him a bottle of water.
"What'd she say?"
"That you're an idiot."
"It's a no-brainer, you're picking Kie," said JJ.
"Come on," sighed Isis. "Don't play into it, please. This is stupid."
"Look, I just can't make a decision," said John B.
"So what? We're just dead in the water because you're pussy-whipped?"
Isis grunted. "Oh, but that's so nicely said, thank you JJ."
He shrugged. "We can't do this without Kie, and you know it."
"Hey, I don't ask you to choose between Kie and Isis? I can't do it without Sarah," replied John B. "Okay? They both have to be in on it."
"Well, good luck with that," said Pope.
"You know what?" resumed John B as he stood up. "I know this was my fault, all right? But it's our problem. I've got a plan. And you two shitheads, and you Isis--"
"Thanks for not lumping me and these two together."
"--you're gonna help me out."
Isis held out a sigh.
"It depends," she said. "What do you have in mind?"
"We have to stick them somewhere. Like, just the two of them, so they could talk. For real."
"Okay, I don't wanna be a part of this," immediatly said Isis. "It sounds like a trap and, I mean, if there's someone Kie has to be mad against, I don't want this someone to be me. Plus, I know you, and I know you're gonna make up some stupid plan that will get them angrier."
