JADA'S EYES FLUTTERED OPEN THE NEXT MORNING, the sun shining through the shitty curtains in the room. Her eyes immediately squinted, the rays hurting her hungover eyes. She went to go get up so that she could get ready for work, but she felt some extra weight on top of her body.

She looked downwards and saw that someone's arm was draped over her body, basically like they were spooning. "AHH!" she screamed loudly, forgetting that Adrian had spent the night with her because she was hungover and could barely remember anything.

Adrian immediately woke up, screaming as well as the both of them jumped apart and got into a fighting position. But, once they both realized that it was just them, their guards went down. "Oh, my God. You scared me," Adrian breathed out, reaching for his glasses that had fallen on the bed.

"No shit, Sherlock," Jada replied, rubbing at her eyes. "What...happened last night?" she asked, hoping that it wasn't anything bad. She looked down to see that she was wearing a T-shirt and sweats, no undergarments showing. That's relieving.

"Uh....we fell asleep," Adrian recalled, nodding his head.

"That's it?" she questioned, tilting her head.

"Ummm..." Adrian trailed off, trying to remember. "Oh, and we made out. Oh, shit! We made out!" he exclaimed in excitement, realizing the extent of his words.

Jada's eyes widened, starting to remember that occurring. She had to admit, she did like it. And she did want it to happen, for some reason. But she couldn't say that out loud — she was letting her guard down for some...guy! She promised herself never to let that happen again after Rick. "Oh, we did?" she asked, pretending not to remember. Adrian nodded his head rapidly. "Oh, I don't remember. Must have happened in the spur of the moment because of how drunk we were," she told him with a small shrug, feigning nonchalance.

"Oh...Yeah. No, yeah, definitely. Just happened 'cause we were drunk. No sobriety to it!" he agreed, forcing a smile to hide how disappointed he was. He then cleared his throat, wanting to change the subject because of how hurt he was. "So, we're gonna talk to Chris today, right?"

"Uh, what?"

"Yeah, last night you agreed to talking to Chris about everything so you guys could make up," he reminded her.

"When did I say that?"

"When we were drunk."

"Of course," she deadpanned.

-♡-

"I really don't want to do this," Jada whispered to Adrian outside of Smith's trailer. He had somehow convinced her to have a personal conversation with Peacemaker to resolve the issues she had with him so that she could start 'trusting' him. Honestly, if it were anyone else that was trying to help her, she would have punched them.

But after last night, she secretly felt like Adrian had her back, even though she had lied to his face about not remembering most of it.

"Trust me, it'll be fine. And if you guys start to kill each other, I'll make sure to intervene, it's fine!" he assured her before knocking on the door, trying not to let her past words effect him. Jada sighed to herself, rubbing her arm nervously which was something she never did.

"Come in, Adrian!" Smith called out.

Adrian and Jada glanced at each other before he opened the door, letting the both of them inside. "How did you know it was me?" Adrian asked.

"You knock in a very annoying way," Smith answered.

"Oh. Sorry," Adrian apologized before he looked over at the table. "Dude, you still have that thing?" he questioned. Jada followed his gaze, seeing a butterfly trapped in a jar. What the hell? she thought in confusion. Is that Goff?

"Yeah."

"Why the hell do you have him? He tried to kill us and he cut half of Adrian's toe off," Jada spoke up with wide eyes, crossing her arms.

"Yeah. Sometimes I just think I'm insecure in my masculinity, so I'm making up for it by having a dangerous pet. You know, like one of those knuckle-dicks in Georgia with a tiger on a leash," Smith answered, making Jada give him a puzzled look. He then spun around, finally realizing that Jada was there. "Whoa! What the hell? What are you doing here?"

"I was here to have a conversation with you, but you seem to be brooding so I don't think it's a good time," Jada replied, giving Adrian a look.

Adrian shook his head at her before looked back at Smith and voiced, "Dude, my advice? Cut it out with the introspection. The mind is a den of scorpions better left running from, not towards. We need to get shit done today."

"Or...we could wait another time when Smith is actually up for it!" Jada suggested with fake enthusiasm since she was really regretting this. Even though she was trying to reinvent herself a little, she still hated talking about her feelings.

Adrian gave Jada a look before Goff started to make noises on the glass. "What's Goff doing?" he asked, crouching down so Goff was eye level.

Jada looked over a again to see Goff writing something on the inside of the jar with some type of goo. Smith immediately got up and grabbed the jar, walking over to hold it up the light. Adrian and Jada followed, their brows furrowed in concern.

"What the fuck?" Smith spoke once he saw that Goff had drawn a peace sign.

"A peace sign?" Jada said, not understanding what Goff had meant by that.

"Maybe because he's Peacemaker? Haha, get it?" Adrian joked, making Smith roll his eyes and Jada laugh out of pity.

"Maybe. But we should try to find out what he means, even though he shouldn't even be alive in the first place," Jada replied, giving a pointed look at Smith.

"Hey, we might get information out of him, I made a good decision!" he argued, standing his ground.

"No, you didn't, dipshit. We already have all the information we need and God forbid he escapes, he could inhabit any one of us," Jada bit back, her nose flaring. Looks like Adrian's plan for them to make up went out the window.

"Now, now, guys. This isn't the time to argue," Adrian intervened, holding his hands out towards the both of them.

Smith exhaled. "Unfortunately, he's right. We need information out of him," he said and Jada rolled her eyes, nodding in agreement much to her dismay. Smith quickly went over to the table and placed the jar on it before they all sat on the couch. "Okay, Goff. One tap is 'yes'. Two taps is 'no'," Smith instructed slowly. "Do you understand?"

Goff tapped the glass once, making Jada raise her eyebrows. "Okay, Goff...is that a peace sign?" he asked.

Goff tapped the glass once, confirming it. "Ooh. Goff, what's your favorite color?" Adrian queried.

"Dude, it's — it's yes-or-no questions, I just said it," Smith explained, laughing awkwardly.

"Right. Okay, yeah. Uh...Goff, is your favorite color teal?" Adrian tried again, making Jada give him a look of disbelief. Jada definitely didn't almost hook up with him because of his smarts, that's for sure.

"Bro, what the fuck?" Smith deadpanned.

"What? I'm gonna go through all the colors and then eventually, we'll find out which one he likes best," Adrian told them.

"Yeah, and why would you give a fuck what his favorite color is, and why are you starting with teal?" Smith questioned, making a face.

"I think teal is a pretty color, actually," Jada vouched for him, making Smith look over at her in confusion since she would usually be the one berating someone for being dumb. "But the question is kind of irrelevant," she quickly added.

"You guys don't think it's interesting that a praying mantis thing has a favorite color and it might unexpectedly be teal?" Adrian asked in total seriousness.

"That is mildly interesting, but he just drew a peace sign on the jar. Don't we wanna see what's up with that?" Smith replied, his tone annoyed.

Adrian didn't seem to know how to answer the question since he didn't want to be wrong, so he glanced over at Jada, who slowly nodded her head yes to signal the correct answer. He then looked back at Smith. "Yes, we do," he answered slowly. "Goff, why did you put a peace sign on the jar?"

"Yes or no! It's yes or no! It's only fucking yes-or-no questions!" Smith yelled angrily.

"That's a lot of rules," Adrian complained, throwing his hands up.

"Two fucking rules. Two!" Smith said, holding two fingers up. "One, yes or no! Two, don't be a fucking moron!"

"How am I supposed to follow that second rule?" Adrian questioned loudly.

"Maybe by shutting the fuck up!" Smith replied at the same time Jada said, "Don't let him tell you you're a moron!"

Smith looked at Jada. "Why are you defending his stupidity?" Smith asked her immediately.

"I'm not defending him!" she argued, even though she was.

"Oh! Okay, I see. I see how you are," Adrian started to say, his gaze focused on Peacemaker. "Your preferred conversation partners are Eagly and Goff! Neither are who are capable of speech! Try introspection on that, motherfucker!"

"Preach!" Jada whooped, hyping him up.

Adrian glanced at her before he looked back at Smith and apologized, "Sorry."

"Uh, what?" Jada said out loud in confusion.

"No, you're right, you know, I...I do surround myself with things that don't talk back and maybe I just —"

"You shouldn't blame yourself," Adrian interrupted.

"Dude, fucking — I'm talking! Listen!" Smith immediately yelled.

"What the f—"

"Listen!" Smith repeated, cutting Jada off. Her eyes widened at his tone, wanting to beat his ass up.

"I'm getting this weird feeling that you're angry," Adrian spoke slowly before Smith just screamed in his face. Adrian blinked rapidly, looking over at Jada. "Help."

"Dude, you need to control your anger issues before you accidentally murder one of us," she told Smith, making him stop screaming. "We have more important things to attend to, right?" she said, gesturing over at Goff.

Smith cleared his throat, glancing in between Adrian and Jada before he grumbled, "Yeah." He then looked back at Goff. "Goff, are the butterflies here to eat our flesh like the aliens from Pitch Black?"

Goff tapped twice. "Goff, are you here to put babies in us like in Alien?" Adrian asked. Goff tapped twice, making Adrian sigh.

"Dude, you're upset about that?" Smith asked in confusion.

"Well, how else am I gonna experience motherhood?" Adrian replied, making Jada arch a brow.

"Hmm, I don't know, maybe with Jada. She's clearly the man in the relationship," Smith said before he went to go ask Goff another question.

"Uh, excuse me? What the hell does that mean?" she asked, crossing her arms.

"You and Adrian are clearly fucking — props to Adrian, my man — but you're definitely the guy in the relationship," Smith explained.

"Wha — we are not f — what the fuck?" Jada stammered, not knowing how to digest his explanation. Was the tension really that obvious between the both of them, even if they didn't get to the actual fucking part? "Where do you get this nonsense?" she asked steadily, glancing at Adrian, who wore a hurt expression. Shit.

"Jada, not now, we need to focus on important stuff, remember?" Smith blew her off, rolling his eyes dramatically before he looked at the butterfly. "Goff, are you here so we can help you get back home, like in E.T.?"

Goff tapped twice. Adrian cleared his throat, resuming back to his normal persona. "Are you here so you can play us a shitty song like in Close Encounters?" he asked, but Goff tapped twice.

"Are you butterflies adverse to water like in Signs?" Jada questioned, leaning over to get a better look at Goff's answer. He tapped twice, making her sigh.

"Quick, what are some other movies?" Smith said.

"Uh...The Three Amigos. Un Chien Andalou. Porky's. Porky's II—"

"With aliens! Why would I want a list of random movies?" Smith interrupted him.

"Well, in case we wanted to watch a movie later!" Adrian argued.

"I am not Netflix and chilling with you guys. No fucking way," Smith said, scrunching his nose up in disgust.

"Oh, how fucking mature," Jada commented, shaking her head in disbelief before Adrian's phone started to ring. "Barbie?" she said in confusion since the ringtone was the Barbie theme song.

Adrian nodded, not meeting her eyes before he pulled his phone out to answer it. "Who is this?" he asked. "Vigilante? I — I don't know that person. That's, um — Is that even a name? Um — sounds Italian. Or Spanish, right Jada?" he said, making her click her tongue and close her eyes incredulously. "I'm — I'm — I'm American, so, I can't—"

Smith quickly reached over and grabbed the phone away from him. "What's so urgent, Murn?" he answered. Fuck, I forgot about work! she thought, cursing at herself.

"If you're at home, get the fuck out! The police are gonna be there any second with an arrest warrant," Jada heard through the phone since Murn was yelling. Her eyes widened just as Smith quickly got up from his seat and looked through a small part of the window, seeing the police.

"Grab Goff," he instructed and Adrian quickly grabbed him.

"How do we get out of here?" Jada whispered to him. Smith grabbed a broom and used it to open the window that was at the top of the trailer. "Oh, okay, they totally won't see us on the roof."

Smith went over to Eagly and grabbed him, throwing him onto the roof. "This is the Evergreen Police Department! Open the door and come out with your hands up now!" Jada heard after a moment, making her eyes widen even more. Smith then stood up on the table, jumping up to get on the roof. "Listen up! This is Evergreen Police Department! Come out now, peacefully!"

Jada then stood up on the table, jumping up and grabbing ahold of the ledge. Smith grabbed her hand, helping her get on the roof since she didn't have as much upper body strength like he did.

"We have an arrest warrant for Christopher Smith! I repeat, come out now with your hands up!" the officer continued.

Smith and Jada looked down at Adrian, who was holding duct tape with Goff taped to his back. They both gave him a confused look. "I'm taping Goff to me so I have both hands free," he explained.

A piece of the door was then smashed, prompting Adrian to toss the tape and jump up. Jada and Smith both grabbed onto both of his hands, helping him up onto the roof just as the police flooded into the trailer.
