23| RIP HIS KOOK FACE OFF


"Why does she get to ticket?" JJ huffed as Pope passed his phone up toward Kie.

"Because she's the best." Pope shrugged.

"I literally took a impressions class." Layla pointed out with a raise of her eyebrows.

"Yeah, and you laugh every single time you try to do them." Pope argued as Layla gave a giggle, "See."

"So I should do an impression? Like, an accent?" Kie spoke up, looking at Layla.

"Yeah, don't want them tracking your ass or anything." Layla shrugged back, pulling one leg up to lean on.

Kie began to mimic a english accent, "How would you like me to talk?"

"Anyone from england would be able to tell you're faking." Layla said back with a nod, "Just saying."

"Batman." Pope suggested.

"Batman." Kie said back in a deep tone.

"I dig it." Layla nodded her head, "Do it."

"Spot on." JJ agreed as Kie dialed the number.

"Hello- I can't." Kie cut herself off from using the batman voice.

"Just talk." Pope shook his head.

"Is Gavin there?" Kie questioned with a clear of her throat.

"This is Gavin. Who is this?" he came through the other line.

"I know what happened on the tarmac." Kie stated as she brought the phone closer to her mouth, "It was Rafe Cameron. But you already knew that."

"Who is this?" Gavin demanded to know.

"We're gonna prove it. You're guilty." she threatened from the other line. Layla gave her an encouraging thumbs up.

"You're gonna tell me who this is right now." Gavin was the one to threaten this time.

"You could have saved her, Gavin, and you didn't. You're not gonna get away with this." Kie spoke her final words before she hung up over his demanding to know who it was, "How was that?"

"Extremely impressive." Layla nodded.

"Yeah, I was scared. Good job." JJ agreed.

"All right. We tickled the wire. Phase two complete." Pope hummed from the back as he put the air pods into his ears, "Now we wait and listen."

"Does Henry know you're here?" Kie asked as she looked over at Layla.

"Sorta. I told him I was staying with you tonight. He met with our lawyer anyways." Layla gave a shrug, "He said my dad is acting like a little pussy."

"Your dad is a pussy." Kie rolled her eyes.

"There he is." Pope said as they saw Gavin exit his house and get into his car, "Go, go."

"Don't make it obvious." Layla encountered as Kie drove behind him.

"Oh, thank you, Layla. That is so helpful." Kie said back sarcastically.

"It's Ward. He's talking to Ward." Pope spoke up suddenly. Layla's blood boiled at the mention of the mans name, "Get closer. I can't hear."

"Pope?" Layla had to ask, becoming very impatient as her leg tapped wearily.

"He's talking about negotiating something." Pope shook his head as he pushed the air pods in better, "Gavins got the gun that Rafe used to kill Peterkin."

"Holy shit." Kie said.

"Their asses are going to jail." Layla said as she couldn't help but move in her seat, not being able to sit still even in the slightest.

"I think he's trying to use it as extortion, leverage." Pope spoke up again.

"Shoot, so would I." Layla agreed with a laugh before seeing Kie's look of disbelief, dropping her face, "Kidding, obviously."

"Wait. He's pulling over." Kie spoke when she saw Gavin pull over, "What do I do? Do I go behind him?"

"Circle the block." JJ suggested as Kie drove past him.

"I can't hear anything. Shit." Pope saidΒ  in a panic, "I'm loosing the signal."

"Just hang on, Pope." Layla encouraged.

"What the hell is this?" JJ asked in disbelief as they came up to a construction dead end.

"Just, ram it, straight on." Layla encouraged as Kie looked at her with a wild expression, "Or not. Definitely not, okay."

"Pull in here and back up." JJ spoke as he pointed to a small opening. Kie did so, going to back up as a large construction truck pulled up behind them, "Are you kidding me?"

"Irony, bro." Layla said in disbelief, getting out of the car with JJ and Kie.

"You had to do this right now?" JJ asked in disbelief. Pope began sprinting off back toward where Gavin was heading.

"He's running!" Layla yelled as the three followed.

"We noticed!" Kie yelled back, the three following him through a large Kook home as they came across a pair of boys and girls in the pool.

"Sean?" JJ asked in disbelief, "So this so where you live, you Kook!"

"Yo, tell your sister I miss her sittin' on my face!" Layla called out to Sean with a sudden and loud laugh.

"Layla!" Kie scolded her as JJ gave the Winters girl a high five.

The trio caught up with Pope as he turned and gave a unreadable expression.

"What? What does that mean?" Kie asked quickly.

"He's meeting with Ward right now." Pope spoke as he tried to catch his breath, "We gotta go."



"Nice camera. Where'd you dig up that relic?" JJ mocked Pope and his video camera, "Why not just use your phone?"

"Why does Layla draw naked woman instead of just take pictures of them?" Pope tried to make his point.

"Horrible analogy." Layla shook her head with frowned eyebrows.

"First of all, I like my antique electronics." Pope stared as he held it in his palms, "And second of all, this is telephoto. It allows me to get close image from far away."

"Lord Of The Dorks." Kie shook her head.

"I miss Sarah." Layla huffed.

"I know." JJ rubbed her back.

"For definitive proof of witness payoff, we're gonna need quality glass." Pope said in a matter of fact tone.

"There he is." JJ spoke as they saw Ward hurry in.

"I wanna rip his Kook face off." Layla glared in disbelief.

"Every time I forget you're an aries, you say stuff like that and I suddenly remembered again." Kie shook her head.

"There's Gavin." Pope pointed when the other man showed soon afterward.

"Sketchy place to meet." Layla spoke as she looked at the construction sight, "Like Jennifer's Body when Jenn eats that guy."

"Wasn't Megan Fox your gay awakening?" JJ hummed as they all squatted down.

"She was." Layla nodded, "Now she's with a pedo."

"No, no, no, i'm loosing him." Pope panicked when he lost track of them on his camera, "Where's he going?"

"Hang on." JJ said as he hurried off, looking up a small latter, "Yo! Hey, I found something."

"Ladies first." Kie encouraged Layla, earning a look before the girl hoisted herself up and began to crawl, taking the binoculars and camera before Pope got up and took them back. The four kneeled behind the blue sign on the pharmacy they'd been on top of, the one across from the construction sight.

"You see em?" Layla asked as she pointed to Ward and Gavin.

"Yeah." Pope nodded as he held his camera, "Ward just handed Gavin something. I think it's a duffel bag."

"Guys, I think this is a pay off." JJ concluded.

"Gavin doesn't look happy about something. It looks like he's yelling at Ward." Pope told the rest of them, "He sure looks mad."

"Sarah told me he nearly killed Topper once, I wouldn't wanna be Gavin." Layla shook her head as she squinted through the rain to get a better look, "Are they... hitting each other?"

"Yeah, over something." Pope nodded at her words.

"They're really going at it." JJ spoke as he leaned in next to Layla to get a better look.

"Wards kicking the shit out of Gavin."
he spoke again from behind the camera.

"What are they fighting over?" JJ asked curiously.

"I don't know." the Hayward boy shook his head, "Holy shit. Wards got a gun."

"Why does this family always have a gun?" Layla asked in disbelief.

"I bet that's the murder weapon." Kie concluded.

Shots suddenly echoed through the construction sight as the four ducked quickly behind the wall.

"What's going on?" Kie asked with a shaky voice. Layla squeezed her hand in reassurance.

"What the hell?" Layla asked in disbelief, "Why do non of them have empathy? They're fucking sociopaths."

"Pope, tell me you got all that." JJ begged.

"Enough to put that asshole away for life." Pope said, proud yet frightened all at once.

Layla peaked over and saw the gun drop down from the site, "Should I dive for it?"

"Are you insane? No." JJ shook his head and grabbed her shoulders.

"He's looking for the gun." Pope spoke as Ward ran down the raining street, chasing the gun until it fell into the drain as he hit it harshly.

Layla laughed, "Sucker."

"Hold this." Kie said as she passed the binoculars to Pope and rose to her feet, "Murderer!"

"Kiara, sit your ass down!" Layla scolded her and yanked her down harshly.

"Are you crazy?" Pope asked in disbelief.

"I don't care if he hears me. He's a murderer." Kie argued right back.

"We're all very much aware." Layla said her way with a eye roll.

"Yeah, and he's gonna murder us, Kie." JJ argued with her.

"Let's go. Like, now." Layla said as she hurried toward the latter, climbing down quickly. Pope came down close after, missing a step as the ball of his foot hit Layla in the head. The winters girl flinched as she fell off the latter, just as Kie stepped on JJ's hand, and JJ stepped on Popes face. Layla looked at the boys in disbelief, "Did you two just fall?"

"You fell too." JJ said back.

"So sorry." Kie apologized as she climbed down the latter quickly.

"No, no." Pope panicked as he looked at the broken video camera.

"You fumbled it?" JJ glared.

"You kicked me in the face!" Pope argued.

"She stepped on my hand." JJ pointed over at Kie.

"We'll put it in some rice when we get home." Layla said as she cradled the video camera for Pope.

"Let's go." JJ said quickly as they ran back to the car, making it past the constructing and jumping in. Layla shut the door quickly, dripping of the rain while her friends did the same, "Could someone tell me what the frick just happened?"

"Sarah's whole family is fucking nuts." Layla said as she took deep breaths, "What's next? Wheezie gonna commit homicide? Hang someone?"

"What were they fighting over?" JJ asked as he looked at Pope next to him.

"It was a gun, the one Rafe used. He must have kept it." Pope shook his head as he leaned on the seat.

"And didn't turn it in like a pussy." Layla rolled her eyes.

"Layla, he was just murdered!" Pope said in disbelief.

"Doesn't make what he did right." she said back as Kie began dialing on her phone, begging for someone to answer.

"Who are you calling?" JJ asked her.

"Who do you think?" Kie cried.
