Y/N slowly drove Terrance's truck down the twisting grey stone roads. The quiet ocean calling out to sooth her pumping adrenaline. The breaks screeched as Y/N dragged the truck to a halt, yanking on the hand break.
"Okay this is arguably the worst idea we've ever had." John B said over to the girls as he jumped out of the car, followed by Sarah and then Y/N, once she turned the car off. Their seatbelt all flicking back into the truck quickly, trying to retreat.
"Here we are..." sighed Y/N. She stared up at Terrance's big boat and wandered towards it's glowing light.

"So while we're down in the dirt, fighting over scraps. The real gold is over there on Paradise Island." He grumbled as he wandered out of the cabin, holding a beer. Walking between Cleo's legs who sat on the top of the cabin. Her timberman's swinging, close to hitting Terrance in the head.
"Cleo." He asked her, "How much do you think was in that safe huh? Off the top of your head."
"More than you'll ever make. Definitely more than me."
"Cheers to that." Stubbs called out dryly from a bench built into the boat.

Y/N turned the corner, and saw the tree of them lounging there. Sarah and John B followed, glaring. Y/N threw a look up at Cleo. She was upset over her abandonment at Bay Line.
"Look what the cat done dragged in." Terrance smiled slyly.
"I have a proposition."
Terrance made a face at Sarah, "If it involves giving you that rock back, that nugget," He gestured at the gold, "forget it. You lucky I'm not on the phone with the cops right now."
"I'm not worried about that." Sarah spoke over him.
"I mean really Terrance. You saw what was in that safe didn't you?" Y/N chuckled.
He sighed, "Yeah I did."
"And it was exactly what we told you it was gunna be... right?" Sarah nodded at him.
"Yeah well that tings locked down tighter than a clamshell now." Piped up Cleo.
"No shit." Sarah sighed.
"Funny. I don't remember asking." Y/N shot her a look.
"What is your problem." Cleo glared back.
"My problem. Is that you abandoned me to get arrested!" She shouted.
"I was covering my back! And I didn't shut that door, Terrance did."
"Uh- the boat!?"
"Not my decision. Girlie." she spat.
"Not your fucking-" Y/N laughed, "you abandoned us! I was beaten up and kicked in my scar and almost fucking shot!"
"I didn't want to leave!" Cleo shouted, teary eyed. "I didn't want to go without you."
"Oh uh.." Y/N faltered at her breaking voice.
She jumped down and stood opposite her, "I asked them to turn around okay. But Terrance said we had no time. Girlie believe me, I am sorry about your injuries. I ain't usually a traitor." She brushed her hand gently across Y/N's stomach and looked her in the eye, smiling gently. Y/N blushed (or she didn't if your not into girls)
"Okay.. okay." she laughed, "Didn't know you were so affectionate." She grinned, punching Cleo playfully on the arm.
"No macking." John B joked.
"She's not a pogue is she? But I wouldn't anyway! My heart belongs to JJ..." She grinned and lent on a wall with Cleo as Sarah glared over at Terrance again.
"Pogue?" Cleo asked.
"The name of our friendship group, you know the one that I looked for the gold with."
"Oh Kay, GG and Paul."
"Close enough." She smiled.
"When we get the gold back, we're taking it back to them." Sarah added.
Cleo squinted, "How do you plan on it huh?"
"Well the gold isn't staying at Bay Line, is it." Sarah smiled. "My dad's gunna come down to move it he has too."
"Ew." Y/N mumbled, the mere mention of Ward made her eyes roll.
"So, what are you proposing? a Brink's job?" Terrance asked.
"Think about it. You have a boat that can get us away. You know people and the island. And I can find out exactly when that gold is moving." Sarah made a good argument.
Terrance rolled his head to the side, unconvinced.
"And I'll give you two million." Sarah added. This caught Stubbs's attention.
"So let me get this straight. We take the risk of going to jail... and getting shot. For a fraction of what is in that safe."
"After you abandoned us? Stole our boat?"
"We don't owe you shit Terrance." Y/N looked to Sarah and the two of them chuckled.
"Ten million." Stubbs spoke up.
"I like that." Terrance smiled. "Ten apiece."
John B sighed, "Apiece? Okay, you know what? We're getting-" And just as her turned to leave Sarah interrupted him.
"John B."
"She wears the pants around here now remember?" Y/N grinned.
Sarah looked from Cleo to Terrance slowly. "Ten million apiece." She agreed.
"Ten million dollars. We're just throwing money we don't have away." John B looked exasperated.
Terrance gave Sarah his hand, "You have yourself a deal sweetheart."
Sarah shook his hand roughly.
Terrance, Stubbs and Cleo all wandered into the cabin to draw up a plan. Y/N went to follow them but Sarah held her arm, "Don't trust them."
"I can trust Cleo."
"No Y/N. We can't."


Kie was pointing at the ground frantically where Gavin's body once lay. The rain had ceased and the police were gathered around the crime scene.
"Look, it was right there, and this is where that maniac claimed his next victim. Right there."
"Mhm... Right, his next victim?" The officer replied, in obvious disbelief.
"Yeah."
JJ reached down and touched the floor, looking for a trace of blood.
"How long ago did you say this happened?" Shoupe asked the group, holding a small pad and pen in his hands.
"45 minutes ago Shoupe." JJ answered, jumping up.
"Okay... So Ward Cameron just popped one off... And shot him?"
"Yes." Kie answered breathlessly.
"Execution style, and then cleared it all up in 45 minutes?"
"Yeah.."
"Obviously."
"We filmed the entire thing!" Argued JJ.
Shoupe stopped scribbling, and looked up. "You filmed it?"
"Yes but we can't show it to you because I stepped on JJ's hand and then he kicked Pope and he dropped the camera 'cause it's a piece of shit, and it broke." Kie's voice started breaking in frustration.
Pope spoke over her at the end, saying "It's a telephoto and we needed to get a long -distance image and... n.. I fell and it broke. So the footage is basically unusable. Bu-bu-but we were there and we-we wi-"
"So the dog ate your homework?" Shoupe sighed.
Kie rolled her eyes, "No Shoupe. I know how it sounds- -"
"LOOK," He cut her off, "I don't know what you kids expect me to do with this. Aight, you drag me out here in the middle of the damn night for what looks like a whole lot of nothing. Except f-"
"No it's not."
"Excep-"
"No it's not nothing!" Kie argued.
"Except for some crazy stories about how Ward Cameron's out on a random killing spree."
"We're not making this up!!" JJ exploded, ripping his hat off.
Pope cut off Shoupe as he went to shout at JJ, "It's not some random killing spree. Gavin was his pilot! Okay he was paying him hush money because he was there on the tarmac that day!"
"Gavin was blackmailing Ward because he had the gun that Rafe used to kill Peterkin!" Kie added.
"And then he called him here to try to pay him off and then so it wasn't enough and then he shot him!" Finished JJ, fumbling over his words.
Shoupe looked dead forwards as he tried to comprehend this far-fetched tale. Feeling a strange sympathy for these desperate kids.
"Exactly" Pope agreed.
"Alright, with the murder weapon!" JJ shouted.
"...How do you know that."
Kie hesitated, then pointed at Pope. "Well Pope did this like thing with his phone, where he put it in the car and then it listened!"
"I heard their whole conversation!" Pope agreed.
Shoupe pierced his lips, "you wiretapped him?"
"Yo look-"
"Is that bad..?" Kie asked.
"Stop. Just stop." Shoupe said before the pogues dug themselves in an even deeper hole. "I've had enough.
"What are you talking about!" JJ shouted after him as he walked away, "Wha- are you just gunna look the other way again?!"
"Shoupe!" Kie went after him.
"Ever heard of the boy who cried wolf!?" Was all he said back.
"Why would we make this up!?" Kie shouted.
"Dude how many times- Why can't you believe us for once!?" JJ followed Kie as she went after Shoupe. Pope stayed silent.
"Waste of my goddamn time." Sighed Shoupe.
"Why would we lie!?" Kie started to cry, "Look I know we sound crazy. I know thaaat!"
Shoupe appeared outside the build site, lit up by the sirens. "Right there's nothing here alright, false alarm! Let's all go home."
"No no please don't go home! No stop!" Kie said desperately, saying; "Why would we make this up!?" again.
"All right lets pack it up."
"copy that."
"Dragged out here in the middle of the night."
"God damn kids."
"Can you just do your job for like 20 minutes!?" Kie shouted after Shoupe.
"Hey. I... I know.."
"Just listen to what I'm saying...!"
"No you listen." Shoupe put his hand up. "I know you're upset. And I know you think your friend is innocent-"
"Think!?" JJ glared at him.
"He is!" Kie whined. (A/N: Kie girl ily but your whining voice in this scene wasn't it.)
"But you weren't there. The only actual witnesses who were above ground say the exact opposite. All right?" Shoupe sighed, he wished he could believe these kids. "And both of them, have a hell of a lot more credibility, than any of you right now."
he white, red, and blue lights flashed at them, egging the Pogues to keep up the confrontation.
"I saw your little art project on Ward's wall." Shoupe continued.
Kie rolled her eyes.
"Do NOT do that again."
"Oh come on." She said, exasperated.
"All right?" Shoupe turned, "Gunna make things a lot harder for the both of us." and went to get into his car.
His car started up, "Go home." Shoupe waved.
"At least... At least look for him!" Kie shouted as a last ditch attempt.
Pope wandered off and zoned the world out, hearing Kie shout one last "Someone died tonight!" Before shutting off completely. They were so fucking close to getting real justice.
"I told you this would happen." JJ said, waving his hat. "Like, you're the one that had to drop the camera." He looked to Pope.
"It was your fault!" Kie said to JJ, defending him. Pope didn't even turn around.
"Oh that was my fault!?"
"Yeah! It was JJ! YOU kicked him!"
"What after you crushed my fingers with your huge feet!?"
"OH real mature! I didn't crush your fingers!"
"Why do you always take his side!? Why do you never take mine?"
"Oh I'm the bad guy because I'm not your fucking Yes-man ex girlfriend huh!?"
"You shut your mouth!"
"She would let you do anything JJ and you hate me for having more common sense!"
"At least she wasn't an emotionless bitch Kiara!"
"I am NOT emotionless! You know I loved Y/N but she was WAY out of line in the past letting you do that crazy BULLSHIT!"
"Oh SUUURE that's why you let her leave then!? The only girl I've ever loved!"
Pope turned slowly. "Guys."
"Oh you've only ever loved here... hah! You broke her heart JJ! Not me!"
"GUYS!!!!!!" Pope shouted. "We're not out of this yet. We can still go get the gun."
