"She's what?" Alex yelped.

Maria ignored Alex, spinning to glare at Angelica, who had just shot at her head.
"This bitch-" Maria began to growl, making her way towards Angelica before Eliza yanked her back.

"Don't," Eliza gasped, ducking and pulling Maria down with her as another bullet flew towards them from a cop's gun. Maria huffed and broke away from Eliza's grip, launching towards the cop with a cry of rage and throwing her fist across his face. That sparked everyone to fight back.

With a ferocious bark Artemis leapt forward, digging her teeth into a cop's leg, causing him to release his hold on Hercules. Hercules leapt up and jumped over his own arms like a skipping rope, bringing his cuffed hands in front of him. He ducked to dodge a bullet before throwing his foot up in a roundhouse kick, right across the face of the cop holding Lafayette.

Laf fell forward and rolled onto his back, performing a kip up to jump back to his feet and slamming both fists into the face of a cop advancing towards him.
"Behind," Hercules hissed quickly, Lafayette not even having to look as he jabbed his elbow backwards and turned around, knocking another cop to the ground.

"Wha- since when? When did you find out?" Alex called out over the combat, ducking a swing from a cop and catching the other fist flying towards his face, throwing the cop backwards.
"Last night- can we not have this conversation now?" Maria growled, mid way through slamming a cop into the hood of a cop car.

"You have a lot of explaining to do!" Alex yelled out, grabbing a cop who was about to attack John from behind, swinging him around. John spun around and as Alex swung the cop towards him, John slammed his fist across his face with a shout of fury, knocking him to the gravel. Alex paused, watching John with wide eyes.

"Wow, you're hot when you're mad," He grinned, raking a hand through his hair to brush it out of his eyes.
"Like Maria said, can we not have this conversation now?" John murmured with a weak smile, his cheeks warming up, turning to perform a quick audit and make sure nobody was sneaking up on them.

Alex nodded, noticing Hercules and Lafayette standing back-to-back, surrounded by cops.
"I'm getting in on this," Maria smirked, running to stand with Hercules and Lafayette in the middle as cops began to close in on them, guns raised. The others from the group rushed to Herc and Laf to back them up, the team reuniting.

"Don't shoot." Angelica ordered as the cops circled the group, who now stood in a circle in the middle of the carpark.
"But Miss Schuyler-"
"Do not shoot." She repeated firmly, shooting the cop who spoke up a stone hard glare. She couldn't risk Eliza being caught in the crossfire, she'd already lost one sister.

"W-well what are you going to do Angelica? Throw us back in prison?" Alex spoke up, his fists raised ready to fight as he rocked back on his heels slightly, eyeing down the cops circled in front of him. To his side John stood as well, his fists raised too and slightly hidden under the cuffs of Alex's denim jacket.

"Because we'll keep fighting,"
Beside John Thomas held James over his shoulder protectively, a gun held firm in his free hand. To his right Nathaniel and Adrienne also held a battle stance, ready to pounce with adrenaline coursing through their veins, Samuel shaking between them, promising he'd keep his distance from Nat, but struggling to stay away.

"We'll break out of prison as many times as we need to,"
Eliza had a gun shaking in her hands, her gaze dead set on Angelica and her gun aimed down at the road. To Eliza's side Maria was mid unwrapping a ball of bubblegum, popping it in her mouth and blowing a bubble, popping it with her knife.

"We'll take down as many cops as we need to,"
Hercules used a gun to shoot Lafayette's cuffs, his fists flying apart as the chain snapped, metal still clamped around his wrists as he raised them ready for a deadly punch, Hercules to his right as eager to fight as he. Artemis growled protectively between Hercules and Alex in the circle, baring her teeth.

"Because we'll fight for our freedom, and in the end, we're all guilty," Alex finished with a smile, John glancing at him with a slight smirk. He recognised that phrase from right at the very beginning.

Clap
Clap
An amused sigh.
Clap

Angelica's slow claps echoed through the car park and she cocked a brow at Alex.
"Wow, really inspiring Hamilton, admit to everyone you're all guilty and you eagerly murder cops, that totally reinforces why I shouldn't have all of you arrested," She scoffed sarcastically. "I'm arresting all of you."

Maria ditched her knife forward, the blade imbedding itself in a cop's shoulder, causing him to scream in pain and clutch the profusely bleeding wound, his screams being the only sound in the entire carpark.

"I'm definitely arresting you." Angelica raised her eyebrows, pointing straight at Maria.

"Maria didn't do anything!" Eliza defended, throwing her fists down angrily.
"Are you fucking kidding me? She just threw a knife, at my cop, and he's bleeding out!" Angelica shot back, her eyes wide in horror. "Are you listening to yourself Eliza? Look at who you're siding with! Two murderers, an asshole, a dead guy, four gang members and a fucking psycho!" she spat angrily. By now everyone in the group either had tears prickling their eyes or felt like a furious volcano about to erupt. "Just come home, sto-"

"Fuck off."

"What?" Angelica muttered, staring at Eliza with wide eyes.
"Fuck off!" She repeated, almost like a toddler who had just learned to swear.
"Eliza you can't just tell me t-"
"Fuck off!"
Angelica was taken aback, staring at Eliza with wide eyes and a blank expression.

"I don't want to do this Eliza, but I'll just arrest you too," she spoke reluctantly. "Seize them."
Thomas fired his gun, shooting a cop in the shoulder and shoving him to the floor as he powered past on a mad sprint towards the boat. Gunshots rocketed through the car park followed by grunts, shouts and pounding footfalls as everyone made a break for the boat, shoving cops out of the way and fighting with all their might.
"Don't let them get away!" Angelica screeched, raising her own gun and firing at the group as they escaped towards the boat.

BANG
Alex suddenly felt a searing pain slice through his calf, gasping and crying out in pain as he skidded to the road. He grasped at the bandages where his previous wound had been reopened, another fresh gunshot wound right under it narrowly missing his achilles tendon. He threw his head back to see Angelica loading her gun for another shot, the police charging towards them ahead of her.

"Not again," John gasped, noticing Alex disappear from his peripheral vision. He spun around and dove towards Alex, grabbing his hands and ripping him to his feet despite his cries of pain.

The group charged onto the jetty, the wood shaking under their feet as they ran full force towards the yacht.
Thomas was the first to make it onto the swimming deck, sprinting up the stairs and turning to shoot at cops who still advanced at them. He was closely followed by Nat, Sam and Adi, who ran straight past Thomas to the Wheelhouse, ready to get them on their way.

John helped a limping Alex onto the swimming deck, cops being held off behind them by Lafayette, Hercules, Maria and Eliza.
"Stop that boat!" Angelica ordered again, shooting at the people onboard as she jogged after them with a few cops.
"Go Nathaniel!" Lafayette yelled, a cop catching up to him and wrapping an arm around his neck. Laf threw his body forward and flipped the cop over his head, slamming him into the jetty before turning to shoot at two more cops advancing towards him. Artemis bolted forward from behind the cops and launched herself onto the back of one, shoving them into the water with a playful bark. "Good girl!"

Nathaniel started the engine, Maria laughing excitedly as she jumped onto the swimming deck, Lafayette, Hercules and Artemis right behind her.
She spun around, expecting Eliza to be jumping on board as well, but her smile instantly dropped seeing her pause on the edge of the jetty.

"Eliza, c'mon!" Maria shouted, stumbling a little as the boat began pulling away from the jetty.
Eliza looked back at Maria before turning back to Angelica, who watched her carefully, a slow smile spreading on her lips. "Eliza!" Maria screamed, the gap between the swimming deck and the jetty growing insidiously.

"She's made her choice," Angelica snapped, walking towards Eliza and lowering her gun. Eliza sighed, shooting Maria a sad smile.
"No. NO!" Maria gasped, lunging at the water but Hercules and Lafayette holding her back.

"Come home Eliza," Angelica smiled softly, holding her arms out. Eliza smiled, diving into Angelica's arms.
"Take a deep breath sis," she murmured into the embrace.

Angelica paused, her eyes widening as she tried to pull away from the embrace, but Eliza was quick to act, spinning to the side and flinging herself and Angelica into the water, Angelica screaming before they splashed into the ice cold water.

"ELIZA!" Maria screamed at the top of her lungs, the jetty slowly getting smaller and smaller as they sailed away.
The rest of the group watched on with wide eyes as the Schuylers disappeared under the choppy waves. "Oh my go-"

Maria was cut off by a massive splash as Eliza thrashed to the surface, immediately paddling away from the scene.
"ELIZA!" A chorus of voices gasped as she swam at bullet speed towards the jet skis lined up beside the jetty, bouncing slightly on top of the water. Angelica was quick to follow, bursting from the water with a rattling gasp.
"BITCH!"

Maria stifled a giggle as Angelica choked on the salty water, weakly trying to swim after Eliza, who had managed to tug herself onto a sleek blue jet ski. She retrieved a soggy lollipop stick from her pocket and jabbed it into a panel above the steering controls, popping them open carefully, exactly like hijacking a car, almost.

"ELIZABETH SCHUYLER!" Angelica roared, swimming towards her hastily. Eliza gulped and plunged her hands into the wiring, hesitating. Okay, so this was very different to a car.
"Can't find... ignition wire," she hissed under her breath, shoveling through, ripping wires apart where she thought it would work.

Angelica caught up and latched onto the back of the jet ski, Eliza squeaking with surprise and tying a red wire and a green wire together, praying one was a battery wire.

"Elizabeth!" Angelica growled, crawling up the side of the jet ski and latching onto her leg, her dripping wet hair tangled over her face and impairing her sight.
"Woah I was expecting Angelica not the seaweed monster!" She gasped before twisting one of the handlebars and jetting forward, water spraying onto the jetty and Angelica being thrown to the side.

The group cheered joyfully as Eliza sped across the waves towards them, Nathaniel stopping the boat to let Eliza pull up beside the swimming deck. Hercules and Lafayette got a hold of the jet ski to allow Eliza's shivering frame to climb on board, Maria instantly tugging her forward into a desperate embrace.
"God you're freezing- don't do that again!" Maria huffed with tears welling in her eyes, holding Eliza close.

Their reunion was interrupted as Alex gasped and cried out quietly, John holding him in his lap on the upper deck and trying to apply pressure to his now two gun wounds.
"Jesus christ Alex," Adrienne frowned, rushing down from the Wheelhouse. "I'll get Nat-"
"No, we've got Alex, get us out of New York harbor and into the North Atlantic, before the police get back on our tail," John frowned, holding Alex close against him.

"We're almost free,"
