"Uh." John b said as he took off his bandana. " I need you to push down okay?" He got into the back seat with her. "Look, this is going to hurt but I need you to push down. I'm sorry" she gasped "I'm sorry. I know, I know it hurts. We've gotta stop the bleeding. Push down. Push down. Okay okay lean back. Just stay as still as possible. I'm gonna call Terence." he said
"Hey. Hey Logan you're gonna be fine okay?" Sarah said to her.
"Sarah" she whispers "come here" Sarah comes closer to her. "If anything goes wrong. Tell the pogues I'm sorry okay?" Sarah nods "And tell JJ I always loved him even when I left but I was too scared to tell him"
"Yeah yeah I will tell him. But nothing is going to go wrong okay? You're gonna be okay. I don't want to lose you, you're my best friend." Sarah says to her with tears in her eyes.
"You're my best friend too." she whispers.
"Did you get the gold?" Terrence asked over the phone.
"Hey look we got it." John b said
"All right!" "You did it!" Terrence and Cleo yelled
"Yeah, but we got bigger problems. Logan's been shot." he said.
"What?" He asked
"Yes, she's been shot in the gut. I need your help. We're up in the cane field, a mile up on the left-hand side." He said
"Where you at?" Terrence asked
"I'm not sure." he said "I'll drop a pin. I don't know how to get here. Hurry."
"We're on our way. We'll find you" he said
"Okay." he said as he hung up "Help is on the way okay? Just stay with me. I can't lose you again." he said
"Shit," Cleo said as she sees her best friend shot. "Logan!"
"I just texted you the address of a doctor! Tell him I sent you" Terrence said
"Okay, and it's a hospital right?" Sarah said
"No, you wanna get caught?" He said
"I really don't give a shit T. She needs help." John b said
"He's better than any of the doctors in that shitcan. He's my guy. He got ya. Logan look you gon' be okay. Okay, baby? Just breathe, relax soon enough you're gonna be stealing shit again. Everything's good" Terrence said "We're gonna meet at the wharf in eight hours. No more. It's hot as hell out there. My guys good. He's gonna take care of you."
"And this is him right?" Sarah said as she held up the phone.
"That's him. He's got you. He's a good guy" Terrance said
"That guy looks sketchy as hell. Captain, thank you." Logan said
"We good baby." he said
"Hey hey. You're gonna need some money" Cleo said as she gave him the gold. "John B take care of my girl, she is like a sister to me. Logan! You're a fighter, girl!"
"I know!" Logan laughs "Oh don't laugh. Don't laugh" she grunts in pain. John b starts driving away.
"What if they... what if they take the gold?" Logan said
"Look screw the gold, okay? I'm not losing you again. We'll take care of you. We'll get you to the doctor all right" John b said
"Hey, it's okay. It's okay. It's okay." Sarah said
"I'm just gonna follow this gps okay?" John b said. "Just hang on Thief. Everything's gonna be fine." He dropped the phone and tries to reach it.
"John B car!" Sarah yelled

"Mr.Sunn, can I borrow Pope for a minute?" a man said as he walked into the class.
"We're in the middle of a test right now." Mr. Sunn said.
"I'm from the Vanderhorst foundation." He said
"Mr. Heyward, it's for you." Mr. Sunn said
"Thank you. Good to see you, Pope." The man said. "First, I want you to know how sorry I am about how the scholarship went down."
"It's okay. I kinda figured I lost it after I walked out of the interview." Pope said.
"Nevertheless, some of us were very impressed by your story and wanted to learn more about this royal merchant. Unfortunately, the skeptics were in the majority. But listen, one of the benefactors heard about it and asked me to pass something along. Now I can't guarantee anything about a scholarship, but if you get in the good graces of the family, who knows? They're very powerful. Good luck." The man said as he left.
Pope ran back into the class after looking at the stamp on the letter.
"Okay, what was that?" Kie asked and Pope showed them the stamp. "Is that the wheat symbol?" She asked
"Yeah" Pope said
"What the f—fu... fu... fudge?" JJ saved himself
~ ~ ~ ~
"Hold on Thief. I'm coming. I'm coming." John B said. "Here we go I got you"
"Okay ready let's go," Sarah said as they pulled both her arms around their shoulders. John b starts buzzing the intercom.
"What do you want?" A man asks
"I'm looking for a Dr. Nygard." John b asks
"Dr. Nygards not here," the man said
"Okay well, do you know where I can find him?" He asked
"Who are you?" The man asked
"We're friends of Terence's," Sarah said, "Okay look somebody's been shot."
"Ah hell. There's a camera above to your left. Look at it and let me see your faces" the man said. They all looked at the camera "all right go through the bar. There are some stairs on the right." He said
"Okay thank you. Thank you. Let's go" John B said.
"It's not her head is it?" The doc asked
"No, it's not her head. Come on" Sarah said
"I don't do heads" he said
"I told you this guy was sketchy" Logan said looking at the man as she walked up the stairs.
"Ah looks like they got you pretty good, didn't they?" Doc said
"Where do you want me to put her Doc?" John asked
"Straight down the hallway here," he said "damn she's in worse shape than I am"
"Wow thank you that makes me feel so much better" Logan said as she lays down
"You're a funny one aren't you?" The doc asked and Logan just gives him a sarcastic smile.
"Stay with me, stay with me" John B said to her. "Tell me what to do Doc"
"Let's have a look at this thing," the doc said as he pulled down her shorts to see the wound. Sarah is holding her hand saying things to her like 'it's going to be okay or 'you'll be fine honestly Logan is just chilling. Sure it hurts but she is just remaining calm because if she's going to die she's not going to die stressed out or sad.
"So what do we got here? Ah. Oh boy." The doc said as he looked at the wound.
"She's... she's gonna be okay, right?" Asked Sarah.
"That remains to be seen," the doc said.
~~~~
"Do we know how much money we got in the back of this truck!" Terrence said as he celebrated getting the gold.
"You're tweaking boss. You gotta put it out of your mind. Coppers can sense your transmissions." Cleo said to him
"You just don't understand, man. I've never had this kind of load in my life!" He said
"Neither have I. And one of us is already shot, so slow down. Hey, there's Stubby. Stubby we rich man!" She said
"Oh shit the cops" Terrence said as they were hauling the gold onto the boat. "Get the tarp. The tarp."
"Guys hurry!" Cleo yelled "hi guys. Have a good day" she waved awkwardly.
~~~~
"Put some pressure on that wound, right here" the doc said.
"Yes sir. What kinda doctor are you?" John B asked him
"I'm not a doctor" he said "not in the eyes of the law anyway. I'm more like a service provider."
"What... what does that mean?" Sarah asked
"Tell you what, if you find a cure for arthritis in med school, the higher-ups don't like it very much. You know the powers that be don't give a damn about curing anything. All they care about is the green stuff, the money, the bottom line. Follow me?" The doc said
"Yeah, totally" John b said "is there anything else we should be doing right now? I really don't know anything about this."
"Yeah, just quite a bit. Take that off and let me study it for a minute." The doc said as John b took off the gauze. "She's bleeding a little on the outside, and she's bleeding a lot on the inside."
"What does that mean?" Sarah asked crying
"It means I can go in." He said
"You're... you're gonna sanitize that right?" Sarah asked.
"Good call kid." He said
"Just trying to help," she said
"Now when I do go in, she's gonna lose a lot of blood. And it may kill her" he said and they protested. "Or it may not kill her. The point is I can't be held liable for this either way."
"You're not liable, all right?" John b said.
"Yeah, there's one more thing. A job like this costs 4K" he said.
"This is all we've got" Sarah said as she pulled the gold from their bag.
"You're shittin me" the doc said "hold that back"
"Doc. Save my sister. Please." John B said
~ ~ ~ ~
"Is this a game of tag?" JJ said as they walked into the library.
"I don't know" Kie said following behind Pope.
"Am I gonna have to beat you with your protractor? What's going on?" JJ asked him
"Seriously Pope, you are driving me insane." She said as she sat down.
"Okay, so that guy was from the scholarship committee. Take a look at this. Read it." Pope said as he handed JJ the letter.
"Out loud" Kie said to him.
JJ hesitates for a bit "I can't read cursive" he said as Kie took the letter.
"Jesus you and Logan can't read cursive." She said as she starts reading "Dear Mr. Heyward, I am reaching out because I have material evidence that can exonerate John B. Routledge. It is of vital importance that you come and meet with me in person at my offices at 27 King Street, Charleston at 8:00 p.m. sharp tonight. Please come alone. Regards, C. Limbrey" Kie said reading the letter.
"Charleston?" JJ asked
"I know it's like an eight-hour drive plus the ferry. How will we get there tonight?" Pope said
"Yeah, we'd have to leave like right now." JJ said
"I have a free period." Kie said
"Material evidence? What does that even mean 'material evidence'?" JJ asked
"It means he can clear John B." She said
"Oh shit, then we're going to Charleston." He said.
"I gotta tell my mom. Look, if we get it this time, we are not giving it to Shoupe." She said
"Yeah no duh" he said
"What?" Kie said to Pope
"I'm not sure, but I think whoever this limbrey person is, they might be related to the captain of the Royal Merchant." Pope said as they all looked at the computer.
~ ~ ~ ~
"Well that was no garden-variety extraction, I can tell you that," the doc said as he finished sewing up Logan "okay, give me the scissors. And then give me that salty dog, if you would please." As John b handed him the scissors and the drink. "Perfecto".
"So what happens now?" Sarah asked
"We wait. And hope she wakes up." the doc said. "Time for a refill."
"We're good though right?" John b asked
"Only time will tell" the doc said walking out of the room
"Hey doc. Doc! Come here!" John b said as he felt Logan's pulse.
"Can you feel it?" The doc asked.
"I can feel it here but not on her wrist." He said
"Oh shit" the doc said
"What do you want... what do you want me to do?" John b said
"She's got too much fluid already. More is gonna kill her. She should be waking up." He said
"Hey" John b said to Logan softly
"John B" Logan said in a whisper
"Hey thief it's me" he said
"I'm sorry about everything," she said as she closed her eyes.
"Hang on. I gotta go get something. I'll be right back." The doc said going into the other room.
"Hey. Hey sleepyhead" Sarah said to her
"Where is it? Shit!" The doc said looking for something in the other room
"John b?" Logan said
"Hey. Hey, you're okay." He said
"I can't feel anything." She said
"Hey no, no, no, no, no. You're okay. It's okay. Just listen to me." He said
"God dang! Where is this thing?" The doc said.
"If I don't make it—" she started
"Hey don't talk like that you'll be fine" Sarah said.
"Yeah we're gonna leave this creepy doctor's office and everything gonna be okay. I need you to stay with me okay?" John b said as the machines started beeping like crazy. "Doc?"
"Hold on I'll be right there," he said
"Doc?!" Sarah yelled as she started flatlining
Do you know CPR?" The doc asked as he came back.
"No" both of them said
"That's the sternum. Push on it till I tell you to stop. And try not to break her ribs." The doc said to John b. John b started chest compressions.
"Okay" the doc said as he put air in her mouth with the breathing pump. "Okay go again" John b started again. "Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop" he said as John b wouldn't stop. He bent down and looked at her chest, she wasn't moving anymore.
"What's wrong?" Sarah asked as she was crying
"What... what's going on? What are you doing. What? Where are you going? Help. Help me" John b said to him.
"She's just lost too much blood kids. I'll leave you with her" the doc said and walked out of the room. Sarah also ran out of the room crying because she couldn't stand the sight of it anymore. John B rushed over to get the pump and stated CPR again.
"Come on Logan I can't lose you again. Stay with me." John b said crying. "Hey come on. It's okay. You have to come back to me and to JJ. Please don't die. Come on. Come on! Wake up!" He screamed, "Logan, wake up!" He started throwing stuff and crying because he lost his sister again but this time it was in front of his very eyes. "I love you, little sis."
The monitor started beeping again.
Her fingers twitched.
"Doc? Doc. Get in here. Sarah? Come here. You crazy son of a bitch" John B said as they came into the room. The doctor nodded at them saying she was alive.
~ ~ ~ ~
"Baby, no you can't go to Charleston on a school night." Kies mom said back at their house.
"But this is my chance to finally clear John b's name!" Kie said
"What does it mean now to clear John b's name. He's gone. He's gone" her dad said
"Micheal" her mom said
"You have to except it." He said
"Stop it!" Her mom yelled "listen to me. I understand that what you are going through right now is incredibly difficult."
"Do you?" Kie said
"I do. All we're trying to say is that we are worried cause you're spending all of your time with these boys." Anna said.
"God mom. They're not just some boys that I found on the street!" Kie yelled
"I know that Kiara. I'm not saying—"
"They're my best friends!" She yelled
"I know that!" Anna said
"Since kindergarten! My only friends! And I don't want to loose another one!" Kie said
"I understand that, but you are not a little girl anymore Kiara!" Anna said
"I'm a Pogue, Mom! Sorry!" She yelled walking away
"Actually, you're not Kiara, cause you live on figure Eight! Don't walk away from me when I'm talking to you!" She said
"I'm still one of them! You're so worried about me being a Pogue because you got pregnant with a Pogue, and then you had me. It was a tragedy!" Kie exclaimed
"Kiara seriously? This is not fair! Stop it! Do not walk away from me when I'm talking to you! Turn and look at me right now! I am so sick of this shit! Every single time that you get in trouble you try and stir up the pot between us, and I am not having it anymore! I'm gonna tell her." Her mom yelled
"Tell her" Mike said
"Tell me what?" Kie said
"They're taking it really well." JJ said sarcastically as they sat in the car outside. Pope hummed in response. "How'd you get this rig? Because I know your old man didn't let you have it." He said to him watching Kie and her parents
"I undid the intake valves on the carburetor. Made it start pinging." Pope said
"And now you're just gonna take it to your cousin Jeff's house. Just gonna get it fixed" JJ said
"Crash overnight" they said at the same time.
"I think I'm rubbing off on you Pope. Lying to your old man, stealing his truck. Kinda sounds familiar." JJ said
"If anyone was rubbing off on me it was Logan. Remember all the crazy shit she made me do?" Pope said
"Yeah well, you and her got along better than any of us. I still don't understand that by the way because you are all smart and anxiety-filled and she was... well she was a badass." JJ said chuckling. Pope looked at him knowing how much he missed her. It was true that Pope and Logan were the closest but she and JJ had a different type of bond than anyone else he had ever seen.
"Boarding school! What are you talking about?" Kie said to her parents
"It could broaden your horizons, baby, get you out of the OBX," Anna said
"I'm not going to boarding school" she said
"It would give you structure Kiara" Mike said
"They're not my people" she said
"Look at your life right now! Look at your life!" He said
"It's good to see y'all, Mr. and Mrs. Carrera" JJ said as he waved at them.
"Hi uh, ma'am, sir. I... I promise to have her back at a reasonable hour and safe." Pope said
"What are you doing?" Kie asked him
"Kiara listen to me. You're gonna end up just like Logan and John B of you keep doing this! You wanna go, then you can go. But if you don't come back at the proper time, then don't come back at all!" Anna said
"She's bluffing" JJ said. Kiara got into the car "Y'all have a good day." He said and got into the car.
"This shit would be so much easier without parents." Kie said and JJ looked at her.
~ ~ ~ ~
"She just needs to rest for a few minutes. She'll come around" the doc said "come in have a seat," he said as John b and Sarah walked into the room. Logan woke up and groaned. She sat up and took her IV and walked towards the door. She opened them and walked in.
"Whoa, little lady! You need to go lie down." The doc said
"How long did I sleep?" She asked
"Not long enough," Sarah said
"Can we still make it?" Logan said
"No. No. We—it's over. Okay?" John b said
"No, it's not." She said
"Logan—" he tried.
"We still have an hour" she said
"You need to rest. You just got shot." Sarah said
"Exactly I just got shot. And I didn't get shot so we could give up." She said and looked at John b "you know how much of a stubborn bitch I am so you better quit now. I am fine. We're going" they looked at her and nodded.
"Seriously Thief, you shouldn't be standing" John b said
"Jesus John stop acting like your my dad. I'm fine" she said
"Okay, relax" he said. They look outside and there are cops talking to people on the street. "Shit. Are you kidding me"
"You guys got a little heat on you don't you?" The doc asked
"You got no idea" Logan muttered
"I've been there and I've done that. But I got an idea. Friend of the devil is a friend of mine" the doc said giving John b keys to a car.
"Thanks, doc" John b said. "All right so how bad's it gonna be when the anesthesia wears off?" He asked as Sarah helped Logan into the car.
"Pretty much mind-bending" the doc said
"That's great," Logan said sarcastically.
"All right doc, so how do I get this baby back to you?" John b asked
"You're just going to the wharf right?" He asked
"Yeah. Berth 39, right?" John b said
"Perfect. Put the keys under the gas cap, and we're good." He said
"Are you sure we can wake this?" Sarah asked
"Well you overpaid for the medical, so have a nice trip" the doc said
"Thank you sketchy doctor man" Logan said
"Thanks, doc" John b said chuckling at her. They pulled out and drove away.
~ ~ ~ ~
"My parents are so paranoid of me being a Pogue, like it's the worst thing that could ever happen." Kie said to them as they were on the ferry.
"Hey, Logan once told me that they got good weed at boarding school, though." JJ said
"I'm not going to boarding school. They're gonna have to kidnap me, tie me up, and throw me in a van." She said
"Well, I say... we just crumble some herb right now." JJ said as he passed her a blunt and sat down.
"Hey, Kie have you tried to hit John b back on that number yet?" Pope asked her
"Like twenty million times" she said
"That's quite a few times" JJ said and he chuckled
"Some random lady at a hotel keeps answering" she said
"We'll, until we hear from them again, we gotta try and clear his name. And right now his letters out best bet." Pope said
"Right. Stay on task. That's why I love ya Pope" JJ said as Kiara got up and walked over to Pope.
"What Pope are you gonna be today?" Kie asked him as she offers him the blunt.
"I'm good. I'm gonna try to focus" he said to her
"Good Pope" she said as she sat down beside JJ. "Boring Pope"
"I'll take that" JJ said as he grabbed the blunt. "Um, do tricks now! Roll over boy" he laughs with kie.
"Sit" she said, "try to catch a fish. Catch a fish" as he barks.
~ ~ ~ ~
"How much time do we have?" Sarah asked John b.
"Not much" he said "Shit cops. Should I peel?"
"No. Just play dumb. Trust me I've been in a lot of these situations" Logan said
"All right I got this" John b said.
"No he doesn't" Logan mumbles to Sarah who chuckles and John b glares at her.
"Roads closed" the cop said
"What happened?" John b said
"Robbery there was a shootout. Now move along" the cop said.
"We'll is everybody okay?" John b said
"Move on." The cop said as he walks away
"Well he was nice" Logan says sarcastically
"John b" Sarah said as she nods to the cops "we lost the gold"
"Dammit. Are you telling me I got shot for nothing? Ugh" Logan says as she leans back into her seat.
"Shit" he said "I'm sorry guys" he looks at the cop who was looking at a picture of them on his phone. "Sarah, Thief?"
"Go, go, go, go!" They yell.
"Hey? Hey stop the car!" The cop yells at them
"Go!" Sarah yells
"I'm going. I'm going. I'm going." John b said as the cops chase them down the street. They turn down an alley "did they follow us?"
"No they went the other way you lucky son of a bitch" Logan said.
"I almost hit that person" John b said as he swerved through people. He then hits someone with the car and he stops.
"You did hit that person" Logan said
"Go help them!" Sarah said
"Oh my god. Oh my god" John b said. "Cleo?" He said looking at the girl groaning in pain on the floor.
"Some freaking rescue!" She said
"Cleo, Cleo, Cleo." He said "come on, come on" as he picks her up and guided her in the car.
"You ran me over" she said
"I'm so sorry" he said
"Where'd you get your license?" She asked
"The great state of North Carolina" he said
"You didn't see me in the street" she asks
"No I didn't," he said as she got into the back with Logan
"Hey! How'd you make it through girl?" She asks Logan
"Are you okay?" Sarah asked
"Just a scrape, you know? I went up and over. Been through worse" Cleo said "we should get out of here now"
"Okay" John b said as he started driving again
"Holy shit! That was amazing. You really ran someone over and it turned out to be Cleo! That's fucking crazy. What luck you must have John b!" Logan yells laughing.
"Thief not right now," John b said as she mutters a sorry. "What happened back there? We went to the playboy and that place was hot! Cops were everywhere!" He asked Cleo
"We were waiting for you guys to show up, and the coppers came. They came from every direction. I jumped overboard." Cleo said looking around.
"Well, what about Terrence and Stubbs?" He asked
"I heard gunshots" she said
"What?" Sarah said
"I ran. I wanted to shoot it out with them but it was too many." She said
"Oh boy! We got company. Okay." John b said
"Oh no. Drive!" Cleo yells
"Does this piece of crap go any faster?" Logan asked.
"I don't know the speedometer doesn't work!" He said as they turned onto a bridge to get away with the cops still following them.
~ ~ ~ ~
"Guys I've read this thing like a thousand times. It makes no sense." Kiara said as they drove through Charleston. "I mean, the Limberys own like half of Charleston. What do the Kook kings of Charleston know about a murder in Kildare island?" She asked
"Yeah. Why you specifically? That's the other creepy thing. You know?" JJ said
"'Please come alone' that's hella sus." She said
"I was thinking the same thing. I think it's because—" pope started but got interrupted by the car backfiring. "Oh come on!"
"What is that. Pull over. That's a lot of smoke even for your dad's truck." Kie said
"Pope I got sensitive lungs man!" JJ said as he rolls up the window.
"I'm pulling over" Pope said
"What are you doing dude. Just slow down" JJ said
"Okay sure. Yeah right now" Kie said "shit"
"No. No. No. No." Pope said rushing to get out of the car.
"It's gonna blow up. It's gonna blow up!" Kie said trying to get out.
"No, it's not gonna blow up. You probably unhooked the radiator Pope." JJ says calmly. "I haven't seen this before. You knocked the entire hubcap off! Whoo!" He laughs "you might want to reschedule your meeting tonight Pope."
"Uh plan B? We could um... public transportation. We could hitchhike. We could rent bikes." Kie said
"Yeah, it's the radiator." JJ said as he looked at the car.
"My dads gonna kill me" Pope said
"Yeah, he might. He might" JJ said to him.
~ ~ ~ ~
"Okay" John b said as they pulled in at the docs "you sure were good Cleo?"
"Yeah man. We'll just wait here until it cools down." She said
"You good?" John b asked Logan who was holding her wound
"Fine" she nods.
"Streets are quiet. I can get you to a boat. You have somewhere you can hole up?" Cleo said to them
"Yeah, we're gonna ride the Gulf Stream north as far as it can go. Look for some deserted island to shell up on." John b said
"And then what? More running?" Sarah said
"Sarah" John b sighs
"Look, I know you don't trust the cops, but you're innocent. I think we should go home" she said
"To OBX?" Logan asked
"Yes" she said
"What about Ward?" John b asks
"What about Ward? He's the one who should be running, not us. He said he would tell the truth if we came back. I can confront him" Sarah said
"Okay, but it's not about you confronting him. He's completely untrustworthy." John b said as Cleo and Logan just sit there looking at them
"Sure. But I'm your alibi. Trust me" Sarah said
"Hello, lovebirds. Not that we don't love watching this but we are running from the coppers right now." Cleo said and she looked at Logan "Girl, can you walk?" She asked
"Of course who do you think I am?" Logan said
"Okay. Come on guys. We gotta go. Stay low. We gotta go" Cleo said
"That rhymed" Logan chuckles and they all shush her "okay Jesus" she whispered
"We're following your lead" John b said to Cleo
"Get low" she said
~ ~ ~ ~
"It could be anything" the mechanic said to Pope
"I'm definitely thinking it's the intake valve. Pope said
"Look I can put a rush on it, but it's gonna cost you a little extra." He said
"Middle of nowhere" JJ said to Kie as he walks over to her "Dude's in heaven right now. 'Gotta know the calibration point before you do anything with the intake valve JJ. You do the-" he said in a weird voice before cutting himself off. "Hey. You all right?" He asks Kie.
"My mom is so worried that I'm gonna be a Pogue that she's willing to send me to boarding school" Kie said to him
"Well, I guess that's what you get for hanging out with the wrong crowd, Kie." JJ said
"I mean I'm not gonna go. It's too late anyway. I already am who I am." She said
"It ain't all that bad. Just look at that guy over there. He would do anything for us. That's a Pogue if I've ever seen one. Bone-deep. And if Logan was here you already know she would kidnap you before you could go" he said and they chuckle "but that's just one man's opinion though" he said and he took a drink out of his flask. They look over at Pope who looks back with a small smile on his face.
"Three-seventy? Are you serious?" Pope said
"We'll yeah man" the mechanic said
"Kie, are you sure your parents are okay with letting you pay for this? Cause—" he started
"No. Hell no. But I'm already a day late, and they can only kill me once right?" She said to them.
~ ~ ~ ~
"Is this cool?" John b asked as he helps Logan walk.
"I got an uncle who works at this marina. We're safe here. Recognize the boat?" Cleo said
"My dad's boat" Sarah said
"I thought you guys would've pawned it by now." John b said
"Seems like a good time to give it back to you." Cleo said
"Yeah seems like a damn good time" Logan said as John b helped her onto the boat. They took the tarp off and started getting it ready.
"Wish I could join you guys. It's a nice dinghy." Cleo said
"You're not coming with us?" Sarah asked
"Are you kidding? You three are so hot. I'm better off on my own." Cleo said
"You bitch. I'm gonna miss you" Logan said as she pulls Cleo into a hug.
"Thank you" John b said "seriously"
"No problem" Cleo said "Maybe one day, I get the same thing you two got. Somebody helps me too"
"I know me and Sarah are so in love" Logan said as she raps an arm around Sarah kissing her cheek. They all chuckle at her.
"Hang tight. I'm gonna get the keys" Cleo said. "Too soon for goodbyes y'all. I'll be right back!" She said as she ran off
"Get your arm off my girlfriend. See this is why we call you thief." John b said pushing Logan's arm off of Sarah. While they laugh.
"Do we have enough gas?" Sarah asked
"Um we should be good if the wind is behind us." He said
"Let's hope it is" she said
"Which it will be. You guys are the luckiest unluckiest mother fuckers I have ever met" Logan said
"Hey! You there!" A cop said cocking their gun "put your hands up. All the way up" and they do as said
"Hey don't shoot, okay?" John b said
"I said put them up" the cop said
"Please, he didn't do anything!" Sarah said Cleo comes up behind the cop and hits him.
"Hey! Stop! Get down!" The cop yelled as he grabbed Cleo's foot and she falls. She kicks him and throws the keys to John b.
"Go! Get out of here!" Cleo yells as she jumps into the water.
"I'm gonna shoot!" The cops yells. He shoots at Cleo in the water as John b, Sarah, and Logan drive away.
