Pope's idea for the ferry seemed to be the only plan that would work for now. So, they drove there being sure to hide John B as well as they could. JJ pulled one of the seats up and sat in it. John B still laid on the back of one of the seats to avoid being seen in the window. Estrella stayed sat up against the trunk.

Pope got out to get a ticket for the ferry. They watch him walk back over with a paper in his hand, "Okay. Okay. All right, no." He says approaching the car

"Pope, can you act normal?" Kie says as he rounds the car to get to the drivers side

"So, um... okay, so, bad news. The ferry's closed, and there is this." He says handing the paper to Kie. Her eyes widen before she turns and hands the paper to JJ.

"What is that? What is this?" John B rambles

"Shit." Kie says. Estrella leans up and sees a picture of John B with a $25,000 reward

"Well, John B, uh... this is a good framer of you." JJ says showing him the picture

"This is just perfect." Estrella chuckles humorlessly

"Okay, so the whole island's lookin' for John B right now." Pope says

"That's a lot of money." Kie says

"Congratulations, John B. You're famous." JJ says handing John B the paper

"Guys, we got to get to the HMS. We need small, no running lights-"

"It's at the Château, Kie." John B interrupts

"And I wonder if the cops got the entire place staked out. Let me think. Oh, yeah. No. They definitely have that place locked down." JJ says sarcastically

"Yeah, copy that."

"Okay. Let me think. Just give me a second. Give me a second." Pope says as he sets his hands on the wheel

It's a couple of seconds of Pope rambling to himself before Estrella sighs before leaning up to JJ's seat, "JJ."

"Yeah?" He says almost confused. He looks to her not realizing how close she would be.

"Does your dad still have that boat? The cigarette boat, the Phantom. The one he used to race."

"Maybe."

"You could get right up the coast, no problem." Pope says turning wide eyed

"Okay, look." Kie starts

"It won't be easy, Pope."

"The surf's running from three to four."

"I don't know where the keys are." JJ says

"Well, find them." Pope says starting the car.

"I'm thinking."

"Why is nobody moving forward? What's going on?"

"Can you relax?" Kie says, "JJ, how much weed did you give him?"

"Guys." John B whispers harshly, "Your car's on the poster."

Pope honks the horn, "Can we move it?"

"Pope! It won't help." Kie says

"Pope, you gotta chill out, dude." Estrella says

"Mom. Look." A little boy says

"Come on!" Pope says honking the door

"Don't honk the horn." Kie says

"It's that guy. Right there." The boy says as the others turn to him

"Shit." Kie says

"We got a snitch." JJ says, "Pope, turn the car on."

Other people start drawing their attention to the car. A man starts tapping on the back window.

"Hey! We gotta go!" Kie says as John B tries to cover his face

"Turn the car on!" JJ exclaims

"Pope, turn the frickin' car on!" Kie says

"I am trying!"

"Dude."

"Turn the car on! Go, go, go, go, go!"

Pope finally gets it on and slams on the gas. They jerk forward and hit a truck in front of them.

"Jesus, Pope." Kie exclaims

"Dude, back up!" Estrella says as Pope keeps going forward

"Hey!"

"The other way."

"It's fine! Pope, just go!" Estrella says

"Go, Pope." JJ says. Pope turns and successfully drives off. Pope takes off down a road. He barely has control of the car.

"Watch out! Pope! Pope! Pope! Watch out!" Kie says. He swerves and knocks over a mailbox. He laughs as he keeps going.

"Oh, my God! Pope!"

"What the fuck?" Kie exclaims

"I'm livin' my best life now." Pope says

"My mom'll kill me."

"Oh, my God."

"I should be the last to say this, but you are not okay to drive, dude." JJ says, "Stop!"

The tires squeal as Pope slams on the brakes. Everyone jerking forward harshly.

"Oh, jeez."

"John B, get out." Pope says

"He's right. We'll draw the cops, you run."

"Shit." John B says

"I'll get the rig, and I'll meet you in the dump tomorrow, okay? Three o'clock, okay?"

"Yeah."

"Three tomorrow at the dump."

"Yeah." John B says getting out and running into the trees

"Come on, go, go, go!" JJ says before Pope takes off. Estrella climbs to the row JJ sits in. She sits next to him for a split second to push the seat back up. She hurries to sit on it as Pope continues his reckless driving.

______________________________________

A couple of hours later, the cops had stopped looking for Kie's car. They had been driving around for a while before Kie made Pope get into the passenger seat so she could drive since he was still high out of his mind. Now, they were at Sarah's house so Kie could try to convince her to clear John B.

Kie stopped in front of the house and got out. Pope following her, "Perfectly focused."

"You sure this is a good idea?" JJ says

"She's the only one who can clear John B." Kie says as she jumps the wall. Pope copying, but struggling at first.

"Last place they'll look because of how stupid it is." JJ mumbles. The car goes silent as JJ looks to Estrella. She has her head leaning on the window with her arms crossed. She hadn't said anything since they dropped John B off on the side of the road.

"Can we talk?" He asks carefully. She stays silent as she keeps her eyes trained on the trees outside.

"You know, I didn't mean to hurt you, St- Estrella." He says. Estrella can admit her heart broke a little at him saying her actual name, "I was going to tell you everything, I just didn't know how and it definitely wasn't supposed to come out like that."

He keeps his eyes on her, but she doesn't spare him a glance, "If I could go back and do everything over again, I would. I would've never accepted that stupid bet with John B. I would've just told him how fucked up that was and how I didn't want to hurt you. Which I didn't. I didn't want to hurt you."

Estrella sighs as she adjusts her seating. JJ watches her every move. She still doesn't say anything.

"I know I fucked up, Estrella. I've been beating myself up over the whole thing since you left me on your dock, which I totally deserved. You mean a lot to me despite what you think right now and I just want you to know that."

It goes silent again as JJ waits for any sort of response. The only thing he gets in return is Estrella sniffling and her hand raising up to wipe her cheek.

He sighs softly as he falls back into his seat. He looks out of the window as they wait for Pope and Kie to come back.
