The only light that guided the streets was the moon and the few lights turned on inside the house, this was already the time for the Pogues to start their plan. Pope had decided that Kiara would be the one to make the call, and Elena was thankful for it, not wanting to start a conversation and even worse, try to blackmail Ward's employee.

"Why does she get to tickle the wire." JJ sounded like a child not getting the toy he wanted, he had suggested that he should be the one doing the talking, but the Pogues refused, knowing him well that he could end up giving some of their information away.

"Should I do an accent?" Kiara asked looking for approval, and when she had it. "Disguise my voice how? How would you like me to talk? Like this?" The fake British accent wasn't the best or the worse, just not that amazing.

"Batman." Pope suggested, Kiara repeated the name with the raspy voice, in the moment Elena should've suggested to stay with the British accent, the Batman voice was silly. Then it started she dialed the number and waited for it to pick up.

"Hello." Kiara regretted the decision when she spoke when the call picked up, clearing her throat she finally spoke again, this time, with her own voice. "Is Gavin there? I know what happened on the tarmac, it was Rafe Cameron, but you already knew that and you lied about it, we're gonna prove it , you could've saved her Gavin, and you didn't, and you're not getting away with this." She finished speaking, not letting Gavin say a word, she hung up. "How was that?" Kiara asked looking around.

"Good job, yeah I was scared." JJ complimented her, still a bit sad that he hadn't been the one to do the call.

"I think I fell in love, you should blackmail people more often." Elena joked chuckling at Kiara who just smiled and giggled at the comment.

"We tickled the wire, phase two complete, now we wait and listen." Now they had to wait for Gavin to come out and get into his car, they watched carefully at the entrance door, any moment now and Gavin would walk out.

"There, he's going to his car." Elena pointed out, Gavin was just like how Elena imagined, white, wearing some normal but still sort of fancy clothing that gave away his Kook lifestyle.

"Okay hide hide." Pope leaned down, Kiara did the same, JJ and Elena hid in the back waiting for the headlights to pass by them.

"He didn't see us, come on let's go." JJ and Elena said putting on their seatbelts as Kiara turned the car on.

"My seatbelt's stuck, don't wait for me." Pope pulled the belt towards him until it was finally freed, Kiara made a U-turn following Gavin, not being too close to make it obvious but not too far so the Bluetooth connection gets lost.

"It's Ward, he's talking to Ward." Pope had the AirPods on, everyone just ready to get the new information from Pope. JJ took his seatbelt off and sat in the middle wanting to be closer and if it needed give some kind of help to his friend. "Get closer, I can't hear."

Pope began saying that Gavin was looking for a renegotiate that he still had the gun Rafe used to kill Sheriff Peterkin.

"I think he's using it as extortion or something, amar move." Pope added looking around.

"Wait he's pulling over, do I pull behind him or what do I do?" Kiara slowly panicked lowering her gas before Pope and JJ said to go around the block, to be quick.

Doing as told, Kiara stepped on the pedal reaching the corner to make a left, the Pogues getting frustrated the moment they saw the road was closed, and when they were pulling back a machine perfectly timed to barricade their exit.

"Move." JJ tapped Elena's legs, the brunette lifted towards her chest letting JJ open her door and wave at the workers. Pope didn't hesitate, he got out of the car and made a run for it saying he couldn't lose them. "Let's go princess." Without thinking as well both JJ and Elena followed their friend, Kiara left her car and after the group she apologized for the action but there was no other option.

Elena didn't enjoy running, it hurt her chest and lungs, but here she was, running and jumping walls with the help of JJ to push her, she could've stayed in the car, guard the vehicle she left her bag inside, her wallet everything, of course she worried, but here she was, running.

"Pope." Elena exclaimed noticing her friend watching behind a bush, taking deep breaths to calm her beating heart she looked over, Gavin's car parked for a moment and then driving away.

"What? What does that mean?" Kiara asked when they reached and stood beside them.

"He's meeting Ward right now, we gotta go." Then, they started running off again, back to Kiara's car.

"Do we even know where he's going?" Elena asked, now being behind of the group when running.

"Yeah, construction site behind the surf shop." Pope answered. "The Kook surf shop." Kiara nodded her head saying she knew which one was it. The dark sky somehow became darker, a faint rumbling was heard followed along with strong pouring rain.

"This is just great, god." Elena groaned as they rushed through corridors and streets, bathed in rain, their shoes hitting puddles and mud, but they didn't care, all they had to do was get to the Surf shop and document Gavin and Ward's encounter, this would be the key to prove John B's innocence.

The surf shop wasn't too far away from where they stood, they walked into an alley and hid behind a fence, the four pogues noticed Gavin's truck parked in front of a construction site.

"Nice camera." JJ said looking at Pope who got out a camera and pointed at the site. "Where did you dig up that relic, why don't you use your phone?"

"Well first of all, I like my antique electronics." Pope started talking, Kiara and Elena exchanged looks and a small cocky smile. "Second of all this is a telephoto, it allows me to get a close image from far away."

"Lord of the dorks." Kiara shook her head playfully, Elena just chuckled.

"I think that's a cool gadget, does it have a microphone to catch everything they're saying?" Elena asked her eyes focused at the sight in front of them.

"Yes it does, thank you El, see someone who actually thinks this is a good idea." pope added some more infromation on how that electronic would help them "There he is." Pope said nudging his head up, the pogues turned and noticed it was Ward walking over to where Gavin was. Lowering their heads they waited just a few second for Ward to pass, not wanting to give out their location and put the mission in danger.  "And there's Gavin." Pope added as they crept back up from the fence.

"Do you guys think it would be an easy conversation between them or something?" Elena asked her eyes squinted as the heavy rain dropped on her face.

"I have no idea, but lets hope it is?" Kiara said and turned back her attention to the front.

"Shit, I am losing him." Pope said after noticing that both Gavin and Ward walked into the abandoned place. JJ walked away and called them, whistling that there was a way to get closer. Through a small alley they reached some strairs that would help them cross over a wall.

"Hurry, don't wanna miss anything." Kiara followed behind JJ, Elena behind her and Pope behind Elena, they continued to rush as they got on top of the roof, a better sight to the abandoned place. Pope took out his camera and pointed directly at an open space, the three friends tried to focus as well, hoping they could see just as clear.

"Ward just handed Gavin something, I think it's a duffel bag." Pope began explaining, JJ mentioned the possibility of this moment becoming some kind of payoff.

"Gavin doesn't look happy about something, it looks like he's yelling at Ward." Kiara questioned why. "I don't know, but he sure looks mad."

"Something might've gone wrong with the money?" Elena asked trying to focus on the two silhouettes across from her.

"Probably? But let's just be careful on not getting caught first." Kiara said and looked over at Pope.

"Shit, crap guys." Pope said, the pogues couldn't see what was happening. "I don't know, they're fighting over something."

"What's happening Pope?" Elena asked looking from her friend to the two men.

"Ward's kicking the shit out of Gavin, that's for sure." The three friends kept on asking questions and only Pope could answer was the basics, I don't know, I'm trying to see.

"Should we do something? Call the cops or something?" Elena asked not knowing what to even suggest or anything.

"Oh yeah, we can just call them and say hey sir, we were following this two men, one of them being Ward to this very crappy abandoned building so we can try and get some proof that Ward's son, Rafe was the shooter of Peterkin's murder and put our friend John B's name on a clean slate, oh and we totally were behind this caused we called the other guy named Gavin and kinda threatened him." JJ said sarcastically turning to look at Elena.

"Geez, we can just make an anonymous call and report something else." Elena rolled her eyes and shook her head, there was no need for this sass from JJ.

"Holy shit, Ward's got a gun." Pope said and got the rest of his friends attention again.

"I bet that's the murder weapon." Kiara said looking over at her friend.

"Yeah, so what do we do now? Guys if Ward kills him, we will need to leave, we can't be seen here." Elena said covering above her eyes to stop the rain dropping on her eyelashes.

"Ward won't kill him, he's in a public place he can be seen, if he did then he's stupid just like-" JJ got interrupted by two gunshots following, everyone gasped and looked ahead, shocked for a moment before hiding down behind the concrete wall.

"Guys, he just, Ward just-" Elena said trying her best to complete the sentences, her heart was beating fast against her chest while her hands began shaking.

They had evidence now, Pope had this camera recording this, Kiara and JJ took a peek again, Elena continued sitting down, she didn't want to look at the crime scene.

"Can we please leave?" Elena whispered with heavy breathing following her words.

"Yeah, I think we should leave, Pope, you have enough right?" JJ asked. Pope told the rest to wait a moment as Ward was looking out for the gun, the muster weapon.

"I think it went down the drain, he's looking for it." Pope said looking behind the camera.

"Hold this." Kiara said and stood up leaning forward from the roof. "What is wrong with you? Murderer." She began screaming before she was pulled back.

"Kiara shut up, you're going to get us killed." Elena said as she looked at her friend who was kneeling beside her.

"I don't care if he hears me, he's a murderer." Kiara said. Words were exchanged by JJ, Elena and Kiara.

"Guys, he sees us." Those words from Pope got the rest on high alert.

Without thinking they stood up and left the roof, they hurried towards the ladder, Pope being first to climb it down, followed by JJ, Kiara and lastly Elena.

"Come on Kiara hurry, climb two at a time or something." Elena said snapping her fingers, a loud thud was heard and taking a peek Elena saw Pope and JJ on the floor.

"You fumbled it?" It had been the camera, damaged.

"You kicked me on my face." Pope replied, followed by JJ pointing at Kiara and saying she had stepped on his hand.

"I was trying to hurry, Elena was pushing me to be quick." Kiara joined into the conversation.

"Who cares, now, we gotta go, now." Elena remembered the way back, over a wall, running through the muddy streets and puddles just to return to Kiara's car.

"Could someone fill me in on what the frick just happened?" JJ shouted in frustration, the energy inside the vehicle had shifted, everyone was on high alert and surprised by the things they had all witnessed.

"I cannot go to jail, not right now or ever, I'm young, I have a lot to do before I even dream of stepping inside a jail cell." Elena started saying in whispers as JJ and Pope talked, their voices almost as mumbled to her ears. Kiara was calling the cops, Pope was looking at the broken evidence, JJ kept on looking at their surroundings.

"All I want is to go home, please Kie, drive us away from here." Elena said, her tears swelling on her eyes, her breathing only getting heavier by the second.

"I'm not driving back home until the cops come, I'm going back to the construction site." Kiara said and did as told. "We need to tell Shoupe what happened, he needs to know that Ward isn't trustworthy."

"I'm not going with you guys, I'm staying in the car, I don't care, I can't be seen here, not right now." Elena added as she looked at her friends, resting her head back on the seat she let out a deep sigh. "I can't do that, or this, not now."

"You're a witness El, you have to testify what you saw." Kiara said, her hands gripping tightly against the wheel as she drove.

"Exactly, I'm a witness and can also be considered an accomplice, Shoupe could not believe that Ward did it and someone else did and will put us as accomplices because we didn't do anything to stop it or something, I can't risk myself or my life," she said and turned to look at Pope "You shouldn't do it either," her sight then traveled to the person beside her. "And JJ, you are already in debt, you want more?" She said and looked around her friends again. "You're a Kook Kie, all you might lose is a weekend because you got grounded." Silence fell upon them.

Kiara had arrived at the shop, without saying a word she got out, slamming the car door behind her.

"I'm not apologizing for what I said, and you two should go with her if you want it at least make sure she won't do anything stupid, again." Elena closed her eyes, avoiding the gaze of her friends. All she heard were two cars getting slammed, then the faint noise of rain hitting the roof of the car.

Time passed by, a few moments Elena could hear the bargaining between her friends and Shoupe, but nothing was clear. Until everything was clear and loud, the lights were blinding Elena, she must've fallen asleep or something, the amount of police cars took her by surprise. She could see how Shoupe's words were directly towards Kiara and how JJ and Pope stood behind her, their faces showing expressions of disappointment and anger.

Pope was the first to get into the car, Elena noticed how his facial expression seemed angry now. "Hey, is everything okay?" Elena asked leaning towards his seat.

"Yeah, we got work to do tomorrow, this isn't over until John B's proven innocent and that son of a gun is in jail."

His words were a surprise for the brunette, she didn't understood what he meant by work to do, but the least she knew right now, the better.

Kiara drove them all back home, Pope said he would text them tomorrow with a meet up time and place. Elena and JJ were dropped off, each staring at their respective homes, unsure to enter.

"What's in your mind princess?" JJ's voice was heard. Elena turned to look at him and shook her head softly.

"Nothing, I'm going to bed, I need to calm down." She said walking over to him. "Are we really going to risk our lives like this?"

"Why are you questioning it? It's John B who were talking about El, we have to bring him home, no matter how." JJ replied looking down at her, his fingers caressing her cheek.

Elena didn't say a word, a soft sigh escaped her lips, her eyes looking away from his, there was too much to process right now, but all Elena wanted was to rest.

"I gotta go, I'll see you tomorrow." Her house received her with quiet ambience, it send shivers down her spine, Elena knew she had to be quiet, she couldn't wake her father or her sister up, tiptoeing to her bedroom she changed her wet clothes into her dried sleeping wear.

All night Elena tossed and turned in her sheets, her memory replaying the images she witnessed, her ears echoing the gunshots, and all she could think of was, how the hell was she going to get out of this situation and still be a Pogue?
