"Welcome to crackhead wasteland." Sarah said as they pulled up to the Barry guys house.
"I don't know about this man." Pope said, trying to get JJ to back down from his plan of revenge.
"Yeah J, don't you think we did enough?" Emery softly said to the boy who was right infront of her in the drivers seat. She knew getting mad at him wouldn't help the situation and knew that would just make his even more angry than he already was.
"This will only take a second." JJ said, ignoring Emery and getting out of the van.
"Where are you going?" John B asked from inside of the car.
"Yo soy justicia!" JJ yelled back walking up the steps.
"Emery let's go." John B said walking out of the car. He knew that if he would listen to any of them it would be her.
"Yeah let's go. I swear he's gonna get us killed one day." Emery said hopping from out the back. John B and Emery walked up the steps t hear JJ throwing things around and talking to himself.
"So what's your plan, slick?" John b asked.
"Well as thou has stealeth from us. Thee shall stealeth from he." JJ said searching through the house.
"J just let it go." Emery said practically begging for him to just leave.
"It's an eye for an eye." JJ said walking over to the kitchen, but was stopped by John B who stoof infront of him.
"yeah yeah that's great, JJ, but what happens when you steal from a drug dealer?" John B asked trying to get the message through JJ's stubbornness.
"JJ he knows who we are. Once he sees that his money is gone, he'll come after us." Emery said backing up John B.
"Yeah I'm not scared of him." JJ said pushing John B away and starting his search in the kitchen.
"Yeah, well JJ, I am. I mean he had a frickin' gun." Emery said, hitting the chair beside her. JJ hit the counter after hearing her and walked into the back room.
"There we go." Emery and John B heard JJ say. They both made eye contact uneasy about what he could have found.
"What are you doing?" John B asked.
"Getting even." JJ yelled back.
"Yeah. Well how?" Emery said, worried of what he's is taking.
"Nothing you need to worry about, princess. Job's done." JJ said walking out of the room, but being stopped once again by John B who had enough of JJ.
"Dude. If you keep going down this road, you're gonna end up exactly like your dad." John B said to JJ.
"Hey! Low blow John B." Emery said grabbing John B's arm and pulling him away.
"Aren't you tired of being messed with, man? Cause I am." JJ said pushing past the both of them and walking out of the house.
"Sorry about that y'all." JJ said, as Emery and John B were walking out of the house.
"So that's what we're doing now? We're robbing drug dealers?" Kie asked.
"Look this Barry guy is gonna find out. He's gonna come after us." Sarah said agreeing with Kie and everyone else except JJ.
"Exactly. Dude this isn't the time to start wildin' out." Pope said.
"Well how did y'all like havin' a gun pulled on you?" JJ asked trying to get them to see where he's at.
"Not a lot JJ and I don't really want it to happen again. So please let's just put it back and go!" Emery said raising her voice at the end.
"Bro we've gotta go get the gold. Just give me that shit, we're putting it back." John B said grabbing the bag and trying to walk back to the house, but failed when JJ had pushed John B up against the van. "Feel like a tough guy, huh? What are you gonna do when he comes for us?" John B asked.
"We punch him in the throat." JJ said through his clenched jaw.
"Good fucking idea JJ." John B said.
"I'm not putting it back." JJ said walking into the van with the bag. The rest of them hadn't moved not agreeing with him. "You guys getting in or what?" JJ yelled. Once he realized none of them were getting in he climbed out of the van.
"We're sick of your shit." John B said walking towards him. Emery felt bad that everyone had teamed up against JJ, but they were right and she wasn't going to throw her morals away just for him.
"Oh! My shit?" JJ asked.
"Yeah, Your pulling guns on people shit." Kie said.
"You acting like a freaking maniac-" Pope started.
"Okay Pope. I took the fall for you man, you know how much money I owe because of you." JJ yelled feeling betrayed that everyone was going at him.
"I'm gonna pay you back and I didn't even ask for you to do that." Pope yelled bsck.
"I just did! Pay it back, right here, right now by myself. You know what that's exactly what I'll do, go off by myself." JJ said walking off.
"JJ, wait!" Emery yelled out.
"Just wait a minute." John B said grabbing her shoulder.
"Just let him go." Kie sighed.
"No i'm not just going to let him go. We all just teamed up on one of out best friends." Emery said shrugging John B's hand and running over to JJ. "JJ wait!" Emery yelled trying to catch up to the boy who was not stopping.
"JJ just come back." Emery said finally catching up to the boy.
"No Emery! Like y'all said you're tired of my shit! I'd probably be better off without all your asses." JJ yelled, turning around.
"J you don't mean that." Emery said reaching out for his arm, but he pulled away.
"Yeah I do! I wouldn't have to worry about looking out for your ass. A little girl with a shitty father who can't even stick up for herself! Yeah I think I'd do a lot better." JJ yelled. Emery felt the tears building up in her eyes, but she quickly pushed them away.
"Way harsh, J." Emery said before turning on her heel and walking back to the group. JJ wanted to scream for the girl to wait and apologize but his ego and stubbornness were in the way so he just turned around and left.
✰✰✰✰
"Look he'll come around, it's just a JJ thing." John B said trying to get everyone out of this depressed mood.
"You think he'll go home?" Kie asked.
"I think there's a zero percent chance JJ goes home." Pope said looking out the window.
"If he does, I don't know what's gonna happen." Emery said worried for the blonde boy.
"You okay?" John B asked Sarah who had barely spoken ever since they had gotten to Barry's house.
"Yeah. Are you?" Sarah asked.
"I mean I'm in one piece, so." John B said, smiling.
"Yeah but you've got a broken one piece." Emery smiled looking back to him and down at his arm.
"Okay so it's too dangerous to pawn this thing off piecemeal, so our best bet is to go down there and bring it all up at once. In a safe or a vault or something, I don't know. Just until we can find someone who won't rip us off. Yeah I can go figure it out tonight and I can get it all done and we can be out as early as tomorrow morning. Easy." Pope said figuring out their new next plan.
"Alright let's do it." John B agreed.
"What about that thing with my dad?" Sarah asked, making confusion rest upon the three pogues.
"What thing?" Pope asked.
"I have to go fishing with Ward." John B slowly said.
"Bro, Love it when a plan comes together." Emery said laughing to herself.
"You can't go get 400 mil because you need to go kill a fish?" Kiara asked who already hated the idea of fishing for the most part.
"Look I have to go. He saved me and if it weren't for Ward I'd be in Foster Care. So I have to go. Plus it'll be better to do it at night. Alright?" John B said.
"Fine." Pope said.
"And at least, hopefully JJ would have washed up by then." Kie said. Emery knew he would be back by then because if she didn't see him before she went home she was going to find him that night.
