The four pogues found themselves standing out in the rain, waiting for Ward to come meet with Gavin. Pope had a camera that allowed him to get a close image from far away. They were going to use it as proof, hoping to clear John B's name as quick as possible. Once Ward and Gavin walked into the small little construction site across the street, Pope got worried they weren't going to be able to see the two of them and get any footage. JJ quickly looked around, eyeing down a ladder for them to climb and be able to see the two men across the street. Once they all climbed up to get a good look at Ward and Gavin, Pope used his camera to look closely before saying, "Ward just handed Gavin something. I think it's a duffel bag."

"Hush-hush money.", Willow mumbled under her breath, only being heard by JJ who had been right beside her.

"Yeah. It's his hush-hush money.", JJ nodded with a slight grin on his face before glancing at the other two. "Willow's been right the whole time. It's a payoff."

"You hear that? I was right.", Willow looked at Pope and Kiara, receiving a smile from the brown-haired girl before she shook her head.

"You want a cookie?", Kiara jokingly asked.

"Absolutely.", Willow responded with a slight smile.

"Focus.", Pope whispered, bringing both girls to look back across the street. "Gavin doesn't look happy about something. It looks like he's yelling at Ward."

"Why?", Kiara asked.

"I don't know, but he sure looks mad.", Pope replied.

Pope watched as they seemed to be yelling at one another before they got into a physical fight. Willow perked up beside JJ. "What the hell?"

"What's going on?", Kiara asked Pope.

"I don't know. They're fighting over something.", Pope responded.

"No shit.", Willow commented.

"They're really going at it.", JJ spoke.

"Ward is kicking the shit out of Gavin.", Pope spoke up.

"Jesus... the Camerons are crazy.", Willow shook her head.

"Why are they fighting?", JJ asked Pope.

"I don't know.", Pope replied back.

"He got his money... what more does he want?", Willow asked, looking over at Pope.

"I don't know, Lo.", Pope answered a little more annoyed this time. It hadn't been because it was Willow, but it was mainly due to the fact they kept asking him questions that he wasn't quite clear of the answer just yet. Pope continued to watch as Ward threw Gavin into the desk, which resulted in him hitting his head. Ward then grabbed the gun out of his back pocket before Pope said, "Holy shit. Wards got a gun."

"I bet that's the murder weapon.", Kiara commented.

"This isn't good, guys.", Willow furrowed her eyebrows in discomfort as she looked at JJ. "This can't be good."

Pope watched as Ward spoke to Gavin before standing up to walk away. From what Pope could tell, Gavin said something to Ward that seemed to have ticked him off because in that moment... Ward turned and shot Gavin. The four pogues ducked down once they heard the shots ring out. Kiara gasped loudly, "Oh my god!"

"What the hell?", JJ breathed out roughly.

"No, no, no, no. That did not just happen.", Kiara began freaking out.

"Holy shit! Oh, God. Oh, God. Oh, God. What the hell!?", Willow ran her fingers through her soaked hair, her breathing growing rigid.

"What is going on?", Kiara asked.

"Tell me you just got that.", JJ spoke to Pope, watching as Pope raised the camera to focus on Ward again.

"Enough to put this asshole away for life.", Pope replied. He focused the camera, watching as Gavin went to attack Ward before he seemed to have been shot again. Before he knew it, Gavin's body went limp and Ward glanced over toward them, but he didn't seem to notice. Ward went to find the gun that had fell down and the stream of water from the rain made it go down the storm drain. "He's looking for the gun."

"Hold this.", Kiara spoke, going to stand up.

"Kiara, what the hell are you doing?", Willow spoke up on JJ's left, watching as the girl went to stand up.

"What are you doing, Kie?", JJ asked after she hadn't responded to Willow.

"What is wrong with you!? Murderer!", Kiara shouted at Ward.

"Dude!", Willow whisper-shouted, standing up herself to grab hold of her friend before yanking her down. "Shut the fuck up! Are you trying to get us killed, too!?'

"Kiara. Are you crazy?", Pope ducked down along with JJ.

"What are you doing?", JJ asked angrily.

"I don't care if he hears me. He's a murderer.", Kiara responded to the three of them, watching as Willow scoffed.

"Yeah, and like Willow said, he'd kill us too.", JJ replied back to the girl in annoyance.

"Guys, he sees us.", Pope spoke up, bringing the three of them to look up at him.

"Are you serious?", JJ asked quickly.

"We gotta get out of here. Like now!", Willow gave Kiara a nudge before JJ's left hand firmly gripped onto the side of her waist to usher her toward the ladder. Willow quickly rushed down the ladder first due to JJ's wishes. She hopped down, watching as Pope was next to start climbing down and then it was JJ. Kiara had accidentally stepped on JJ's hand once she began to head down it.

"Ah, Kie! My hand!", JJ pulled his hand away quickly, making him fall due to how slippery the ladder was. It only made Pope fall as well while the blonde girl on the ground quickly moved out the way before Pope or JJ could fall on her.

"Jay!", Willow quickly rushed to his aid, helping him stand. "You okay?"

"Yeah.", He groaned, holding his side from where he had landed on it. She nodded quickly, glancing behind her before helping Pope.

"Pope, you good, man?", Willow asked, watching as he scurried over to the camera that had fallen on the ground.

"I'm sorry!", Kiara spoke as she reached the ground. "I am so sorry!"

"No, no, no, no, no.", Pope picked up the camera.

"Oh, fuck!", Willow turned away once she saw the broken camera, bringing her hands up to her head in frustration. "Fuck, fuck, fuck!"

"You're kidding me. You fumbled it?", JJ quickly asked as he walked over to Pope.

"You kicked me in the face.", Pope turned toward JJ.

"She stepped on my hand!", JJ pointed toward Kiara.

"I was trying to hurry.", Kiara defended herself.

"Did I mention the word fuck?", Willow turned back to look at them. "Because... fuck!"

"Willow, I swear to god if you say that one more time...", Pope spoke through gritted teeth.

"What are you gonna do, Pope?", She walked up to him, glaring at him as she did so. "Because I swear on my life that it can't be worse than little miss shouter over here! If she wouldn't have screamed bloody fucking murder, then we'd still have an intact fucking camera!"

"He's coming.", JJ pulled Willow and Pope's arm, bringing their attention away from the little dispute. "We've gotta go."

They all hopped over the fence and booked it to Kiara's car before Ward could catch up to them. Once inside, Willow shook her head as anger filled her body. "Great. This is just fantastic."

"Could someone fill me in on what the fuck just happened!?", JJ shouted, resulting in Pope groaning angrily.

"Ward fucking Cameron!", Willow shouted back, watching as he made eye contact with her. "That's what happened!"

"Holy shit. I can't believe it.", JJ tilted his head back in frustration before his mind wandered back to the moment of them on the roof. "Wait, wait. What were they fighting over?"

"Uh... it was... it was a gun, the one Rafe used. He must have kept it.", Pope answered the blonde boy.

"Of course! Of course! The murder weapon!", JJ threw his hands up in the air.

"Of course he kept it.", Willow added, locking eyes with Pope. "With how crooked Ward is, I would've fucking kept it, too."

"Pick up. Pick up.", Kiara mumbled, holding her phone close to her face as she had it on speaker.

"Who are you calling?", JJ asked angrily after hearing the phone ring.

"Who do you think?", Kiara looked back at JJ, annoyed that he would even ask.

"The cops?", Pope asked, clearly catching on quicker than the two in the back.

"Who else am I supposed to call?", Kiara asked in anger.

"Not the cops!", Willow shouted from the back.

"We witnessed a murder!", Kiara shouted back.

"And what are you gonna tell them when they get here? That we were recording them? That we were spying on them through the phone and it's the only reason we knew that we needed to record!? You know that's illegal as hell, right!?", Willow shouted even louder.

"Why would you call the cops!? It's Ward!", JJ shouted, pointing out the fact that the man was well-known, and he could easily bribe his way out of it, or even get out of it without having to bribe.

"Shut up!", Kiara shouted before she heard someone speak from the Sheriff's Office side of the line. "Hello!? Hi, somebody's been shot at the... at the Grand Street construction site! You guys need to hurry because he's dying. I don't know if he's already dead or not!"

"We've gotta leave.", Willow mumbled, hitting her head against the headrest of the backseat in annoyance. "We've got to fucking leave."

"We gotta go.", JJ nodded towards the blonde girl as he placed his hand over her knee, looking between the two up front. "We're sitting ducks out here."

"We can't stay here.", Pope looked at Kiara.

"What do you guys want me to do!?", Kiara shouted.

"Just drive!", Pope answered her at the same time Willow had shouted.

"Go!"

꧁꧂

Eventually, the four of them were at the construction site standing in front of Shoupe as he held a pen and notepad. Willow had her arms crossed over her chest as she listened to Kiara explain to him what happened. Shoupe wasn't thrilled with them to say the least. "So, Ward Cameron just popped one off and shot him?"

"Yes.", Kiara answered matter-of-factly.

"Execution style?", Shoupe asked, glancing amongst the teenagers that stood in front of him. "And then cleaned it all up in fourty-five minutes?"

"Yeah.", Kiara answered before looking over at Pope.

"Obviously.", Pope added.

"We filmed the entire thing.", Kiara spoke up.

"Uh-oh.", Willow lifted her head up slightly, uncrossing her arms as Shoupe quickly glanced up at Kiara then to her after she had spoken.

"Uh-oh, as in you filmed it?", Shoupe asked Willow.

"Yes, but we can't show it to you because I stepped on JJ's hand, and then he kicked Pope, and then Pope dropped the camera, and it broke.", Kiara answered for her.

"Which is where the term 'uh-oh' falls into place.", Willow added on to what her friend said.

"This is a telephoto, and we needed to get a long-distance image, and... and...", Pope paused for a moment before saying, "and I fell, and it broke, so the video is basically unusable. But... but we were there, and we're witnesses-"

"So, the dog ate your homework?", Shoupe asked. "Like your friend said... uh-oh."

"No, Shoupe. I know it sounds-", Kiara was cut off.

"Look, I don't know what you kids expect me to do with this. Alright, you drag me out here in the middle of the night for a whole lot of nothing.", Shoupe was beyond angry at this point.

"No, it's not nothing.", Kiara shook her head.

"Except for some crazy stories about how Ward Cameron's out on a random killing spree.", Shoupe continued talking.

"We're not making this up, Shoupe!", JJ shouted.

"It's not a random killing spree!", Pope spoke up. "Gavin was his pilot! Okay, he was paying him-"

"Hush-hush money.", Willow commented, watching as everyone stared at her. She quickly looked at Pope. "I'm sorry... continue."

"He was paying him hush-hush money... because he was on the tarmac that day.", Pope ended the sentence that Willow had interrupted.

"Gavin was blackmailing Ward because he had the gun that Rafe used to kill Peterkin.", Kiara added to what Pope was saying.

"And then he called him here and tried to pay him off with his hush-hush money... like Willow said.", JJ glanced down at his girlfriend, noticing a hint of a smile before it quickly withered away due to the hostile atmosphere.

"But it wasn't enough.", Willow added to what JJ was saying, looking at Shoupe before saying, "And because it wasn't enough... Ward shot Gavin."

"With the murder weapon.", JJ spoke to add the major detail to the story.

"How do you know that?", Shoupe asked curiously.

"Pope did this thing with his phone. He, like, put it in his car and-", Kiara was cut off by Willow.

"Kie.", Willow warned.

"I heard their whole conversation.", Pope said as he stared at Shoupe.

"Shit.", Willow closed her eyes.

"You wiretapped him?", Shoupe asked quickly.

"Is that bad?", Kiara asked.

"Nah...", Willow shook her head as she answered sarcastically, watching as Kiara looked at her. "It's only like... punishable by law. Almost like... illegal as hell. Not bad at all."

"So, if you knew then why did you go along with it?", Shoupe asked as he stepped forward to stand in front of her.

"I was high- hi... um...", Willow stopped herself, looking over at JJ for help.

JJ nodded slowly before turning his attention towards Shoupe. "She hit her head."

"Clearly.", Willow spoke as she pointed to her head. "Mom must've went hard the last go round. Pulled a WWE champion move on me."

"Okay...", Shoupe rolled his eyes in annoyance, turning around to walk away from them. "Stop. I've had enough."

"Shoupe, what are you talking about!?", JJ shouted after him. "Are you just gonna look the other way again!?"

"You ever heard about the boy who cried wolf?", Shoupe asked them.

"Why would we lie about this!?", Willow shouted after him in anger.

"Why can't you just believe us for once!?", JJ asked as they all followed after Shoupe.

"Shoupe, I know it sounds crazy. I know that!", Kiara tried her hardest to get him to listen.

"Alright, there's nothing up there. False alarm. Let's all go home.", Shoupe spoke to all of the officers on scene.

"No, no, please don't go home!", Kiara raised her hands up, trying to keep them from leaving. "No. Why would we make this up? Can you just do your job for like twenty minutes?"

"Hey... I... I know.", Shoupe tried to speak, but Kiara kept speaking over him. "I know you're upset. And I know you think your friend was innocent."

"What does that fucking mean?", Willow asked as she stepped forward, feeling JJ's hand rest on her shoulder to keep her from walking too close to Shoupe.

"He is innocent!", Kiara shouted.

"But you weren't there.", Shoupe looked between the four of them. "The only actual witnesses who are above ground say the exact opposite. Alright? And both of them have a hell of a lot more credibility than any of you right now. I saw your little art project on Ward's wall."

"Oh, come on.", Kiara looked at Pope while JJ and Willow glanced between their two friends.

"Do not do that again.", Shoupe pointed toward Kiara. "Alright? Gonna make things a lot harder for the both of us."

With that being said, Shoupe had gotten in his car and told his other officers to go home. Willow stood there with a tight-lipped smile as she watched all the cops drive away. "Yep, nice plan on calling the cops. JJ and I definitely didn't see this coming."

"Shut up, Lo.", Kiara shot her a glare.

"Like... you're the one who had to drop the camera.", JJ spoke to Pope.

"It was your fault!", Kiara shouted at JJ.

"Oh, that was my fault!?", JJ looked at Kiara in anger.

"Yeah, it was your fault!", Kiara shouted back at him.

"You stepped on his hand!", Willow defended JJ.

"Willow was right about you! All you do is take his side!", JJ shouted as he held out his arm to point at Pope. "Why do you never take mine or Willow's?"

"Because you're both-"

"Both what?", Willow asked quickly, watching as Kiara sighed. "No, go ahead and say it! We're both what!?"

"Reckless! You are both reckless!", She shouted back, watching as the two blondes took a step back with hurt written across their faces. "Like Pope said... the two of you equal disaster! If it wasn't for the fact-"

"Oh, don't even go there!", Willow took a step forward to stand in front of Kiara before JJ pulled her back slightly.

"Guys!", Pope shouted. "Hey!"

"I mean I don't understand your deal, Kie!", Willow shouted over Pope. "You wanna talk about recklessness!? You shouted after Ward like a fucking dumbass!"

"Shut up!", Kiara shouted even louder.

"Hey! We're not out of this yet.", Pope spoke, getting them to stop yelling at each other. "We can still go get the gun."
