"It's okay" I hears Jay assures me as I wake up from a sirens voice in panic, I don't know what's going lately, I am just scared all the time

"God news for residents of Outer banks. Dominion Power says their underwater transmission line, which will restore power to 90% of the are should be functional within 24 hours" the radio says as police cars drives past us

"And still, no arrest in the shotting death of Sherrif Susan Peterkin. The state police have issued a statement regarding a local person of interest a juvenile from-" the radio says before Kie switches it off

"Let's game this out. Maybe you guys came hope being the smart ones and all, but... who the cops going to believe? Ward Cameron is us?" Jay speaks

"So the accuser is a big shot developer, kind of lord of the island, got the governor on speed dial kind of person, and the accused... is John B, who is... pretty much homeless 16-years-old boy" Jay points out

"Thanks" John B replies "shit" Pope says "okay, man. Yucatan, all right? I am saying that's the only option. What other option do you have?" Jay offers

"Enough with the Mexico bullshit. Sarah will bail me out" John B says "John B, they didn't believed me" I says

"Shoupe knows you're our friend, of course he wouldn't believe you. Maybe he'll believe Sarah" John B says "and she's gonna snitch on her brother?" Pope question

"Sarah hates Rafe, it's not the problem. Shoupe is the problem, we can't depend on him" I speaks

"Not happening bro. Okay? We've gotta get you off the island" Jay says "the ferry. It's the only way" Pope agrees

"Yeah, exit stage left while you still can before the entire island is on lockdown" Jay adds "guys just get down" Kie says as another police car passes us. We all get down and tries to be as quite as we can

"It's too dangerous for you to stay here" I whispers to John B "Sarah's not a Pogue, John B" Pope whispers "yeah, you can't stay here man" Jay whispers

-

"Okay, okay. All right, no." Pope says as he walks towards us after he goes to the ferry

"Pope can you act normal?" Kie says "so, um... okay, so, bad news. The ferry's closed, and there is this" pope says hands Kie a paper

"What is that? What is this?" John B asks, stressed, as Kie passes the paper to Jay and me and John B takes a look at this, seeing a flair with John Bs face and the title "wanted" along with a prize of 25k to the finder of John B.

"Well, John B, uh... this is a good framer of you" Jay says "we're screwed" I says "okay, so the whole island's looking for John B right bow" Pope points out "no shit" I says

"That's a lot of money" Kie says "congratulations John B, you're famous" Jay says "guys, we got to get to the HMS. We need small, no running lights-" Kie says but gets interrupted by John B

"It's at the Chateau, Kie" John B says "and I wonder if the cops got the entire place staked out, let me think. Oh, yeah, no. They definitely have the place locked down" Jay says

"Yeah, copy that" Kie says "let me think, just give me a seconds" Pope says "JJ" he speaks after a second "what?" Jay asks

"Does your dad still have that boat? The cigarette boat, the phantom. The one he used to race" Pope asks "maybe" Jay answers 

"You could get right up the coast, no problem" Pope says "it won't be that easy" Jay says "okay, look the surf's running from three flour" Kie says

"I don't know where the keys are" Jay says "well, then find them" Pope says "okay, I am thinking" Jay says

"Why is nobody moving forward?" Pope says freaking out "can you relax?" I says "JJ how much weed did you gave him?" Kie says "Guys. Your car's on the poster" John B says looking at Kie as Pope honks the horns

"Can we move it?" Pope says as he keeps honk the horns "Pope! It's not gonna help" Kie says "Pope you're causing attentio!" I says "don't honk the horn" Kie say before we notice a kid pointing at us "it's that guy. Right there" the kid says

"Shit" Kie says "I hate kids" I says "we got a snitch. Pope, turn the car on" Jay says "we got 25,000$ if we find him" the kid says as a man knocks on the cars window "he's right there!" Another man yells as Pope was trying to drive off we were between two cars and he was struggling to move the car

"Turn the car on!" Jay tells Pope "go go go go go" Jay says as he kept bumping the cars "Pope!" I says "pope! Jeez!" Jay says "dude, back up!" Kie says as Pope starts driving real fast "what are you doing?" Kie says "we'll bunp out" Jay says

"Watch out! Pope! Pope, watch out!" Kie says before Pope bumps into a mail box "oh my god!" Pope says with a laugh "what the fuck?" I says

"I am living my best life now. My mom will kill me" Pope says "oh my god" Kie says "I should be the last to say this, but you are not okay to drive. Stop" Jay say before Pope stops

"Oh, jeez" Jay says "John B, get out." Pope says "he's right. We'll draw the cops" Jay says "shit" John B mumbles

"I'll get the rig, and I'll meet you in the dump tomorrow okay? Three o'clock okay?" Jay says "yeah" John B says getting out of the car "three tomorrow at the dump" Jay repeats while John B was running away

"Come on, go, go, go, go!" Jay says after John B gets out of our view "what if he won't make it to the dump?" I asks Jay as I looks at him "he will, he have to" Kie answers "yeah, he's John B" he says nodding, I am not sure if he is trying to assure me or himself.

-

"Pope, you clocked that car man, like that was so bad!" Jay says laughing "I am just glad that I am not driving now" Pope says being sarcastic because somehow we did let him keep driving

Me and Kie shares a look before she speaks "pull over" she says "JJ, it's not funny. He shouldn't be driving" Kie says as she gets out of the car and switch seats with Pope

"Mama's mad" he mumbles before I hit him in the back of his head "where are we going?" Jay ask as Kie starts driving "the last place they're gonna look" Kie answers

We arrives at the Cameron house and Kie gets out of the car "perfectly focused" Pope says following her "you sure this is a good idea?" Jay asks

"She's the only one who can clear John B" Kie says "we've tried that" I complains "if they would hear two evidence that Rafe is guilty they would have to believe, besides it's worth a shot" Kie says and I nod before her and Pope jumps over the fence and walks towards the Cameron's house as me and Jay stays outside

"Do you think it'll work?" Jay asks "I wish it would, but I don't have a lot of faith" I says with a shrug and he looks at me surprised "what?" I asks with a chuckle

"I don't know, you're always telling me to have faith, it's weird hearing you saying that" he says

"When I was at the station and Shope questioned me, it was the first time I didn't had Peterkin to have my back, it was different. we done have a chance without Peterkin" I says

"Peterkin was special to you didn't she?" Jay says "she really was" I says "but I mean... maybe with Kooks it's different. Maybe Shoupe will believe Sarah" he adds "I hope he will" I says

"You talked to your dad when you was home?" He asks after a few seconds of silence "it was mostly yelling" I answers "I am sorry that you had to find your father is a-" he says but struggles to say the word

"Murderer?" I says "yeah" he quietly says "sometimes I do wish it'll can go back to the way it used to be, but then I wouldn't meet you guys. I wouldn't meet you, and I am not sorry about that" I says and I watch his smile grow

"I am glad you're saying that. I am worried about you" he says "you shouldn't be" "I should though, you had no time to grief on Peterkin and you're already running away from the cops" he says

"what about you?" I asks, trying to change the object "what about me?" He asks "You're best friend is wanted, are you scared?" I asks

"me, scared?" He sarcastically says and I glare at him, trying to get a serious answer "yeah, a bit. I mean the police is after my best friend for murder" he admits

"Don't worry, everything will be fine, you told me that" I says "yeah, right before Peterkin died" he says, I looks down

"I am sorry I didn't mean to-" he says but I interrupts him "it's fine, you're right, but John B is gonna be okay" I says

"What will happen when you're gonna be back home when everything will end?" He asks "I don't know, I don't really want to think about that" I says

"I get that" he says "we can go to Yucatan, like you said" I speaks "yeah" he chuckles "surf all day, live off lobsters" I quotes him

"I told John B it was a good idea, he didn't listen" he says "because he's an idiot" I says as Jays laughs

"You really attached to that idiot aren't you?" I asks "yeah, he's my best friend. He might not be my real brother but every memory I have, there's John B" he says

"You know, even before I got to know you guys I always wanted that kind of friendship, that you have. I admired that" I says "oh my god that was so cringe didn't it?" I asks

"No! it wasn't. you are cute" he leans closer to me and leans a kiss my lips "I am so glad to have someone like you" he says before Kie and Pope appears, we quickly separate from each others out of embarrassment

"come on love birds, we gotta go" Kie says as me, Jay and Pope follows her. "where are we going?" I asks as Kie was driving "the wreck" she answers

there was kine of tension between Pope and Kie, something probably happened when they were at the Cameron's but I was honestly too tired to ask.

-

When I wakes up I sees Jay besides the window, staring at the view a with the siren voice in the background

"Have you gotten any sleep?" I asks as I stand next to him "he's pinched for sure" he says, ignoring my question before Pope walks towards us

"No. They wouldn't still be patrolling if they caught him" Pope says "let's hope" Jay says "you know, we were in that car. They're probably looking for us too" Kie speaks

"Well if we're gonna be outlaws we might as well help John B" Pope says "how?" I asks before Pope takes the motorcycle keys and walks away "Pope?" Jay asks "I am gonna get gas for the boat" he replies

"Hey, be careful, okay?" Kie says but he ignores her "meet me at the dock at three. Don't be late" Pope says looking at me and Jay before he walks out of the wreck and I share a look with Kie before she walks out and follow him

"Okay what is your problem?" Kie says "what happened between them?" I asks Jay "I have no idea" he says before we follow them as well

"No problem officer, I am just doing my job" Pope says "look, I am sorry that I hurt your feelings" Kie tries to apologise but Pope was revving engine making a huge noise so hr couldn't hear Kie

"What was that?" Pope asks as he revving the engine again "look I didn't mean to" she says "sorry I can't hear you. What was that?" Pope asks as he continues to make huge noises with the engine

"I am trying to talk to you!" Kie says before Pope drives away and ignores her again "that was rude" I says as Kie sigh 

"Who the hell is that?" Jay asks as we hear helicopter blades whirring "I don't know, but it's not good" I says "We need to find John B before they do" Jay says

"We need to get John B and Sarah food for the boat" Kie says as she walks in the wreck and me and Jay follows her "what happened between you and Pope?" I asks

"Uh... when we were at the Cameron's he kissed me but i rejected him, I think I was a bit harsh on him" she says

"You sure he wasn't just being weird Pope?" Jay asks "it wasn't really the kind of thing that you needed interpretation for" Kie answers "yeah he seems kind of upset" I says

"Thank you Haley" Kie sarcastically says as she hands Jay more food for John B and Sarah "is that enough food for them?" Kie asks "I mean, for a couple of weeks, and that's all they need, so..." Jay says

"Look, I think i actually hurt his feelings" Kie says as we all walks out of the wreck "look, don't beat yourself up too much. He's completely changed his feels, the past 24 hours have been like Jekyll and Hyde" Jay says

"We all going through some crazy days, just give him some time" I says "I hate to admit it, but I miss the old Pope, at least I knew what to expect from him" Kie says before we walks into Anna, Kies mom as Jay put the food in Kies car

"Uh- I am fine. I slept here" Kie says to Anna "well, we were up half the night, scared to death, looking for you. Were you even gonna tell us?" Anna says "well I am telling you right now" Kie says

"What the hell are you three up to?" Anna asks "I am sorry, Miss Anna, we gotta go" Jay says "sorry" Kie says "no. I am sorry, absolutely not" she was

"Mom, I'll explains later" Kie says as she got into the car "No! Haley, you're a good kid stop this!" She says "I am sorry" I says before I gets into the car with Jay

"This is not safe" she adds "I am sorry mom. I have to go!" Kie says "these cops are armed Kiara, you'll get shot" she says "I have to go!" Kie says "I am not letting you do this!"

"Mom, John B needs me!" Kie says "you need to stay here" she says "are you good?" I asks Jay as I notice he was uncomfortable with the situation and he softly nod as Kiara and her mom keeps yelling

"I am sorry about that" Kie says after she drives away from her mom "that's fine, let's just get those keys" I says as I was giving Jay a little sad smile
