The last place Estrella wanted to be right now was school. Not only because she just didn't want to get up early and have to do work for 8 hours day, but because she knew that at school, everyone was going to be talking about the pogues and John B.

Talking about how they were liars. Talking about how John B was a murderer. Talking about how he deserved what he got. When in all actuality, it was Rafe who murdered Peterkin. Unfortunately for them, Rafe was the son of one of the most respected kooks on the island and anyone was going to believe him over a couple of teens who were known to find trouble anywhere they went.

But she went anyway. Simply because her mom told her to and because she told Kie she would.

"I feel like people are staring at us." Kie says as she looks around

"Oh yeah." JJ says. Sure enough, every teen in the parking lot was staring at them. Muttering things to each other about the three. Not even caring that they were right in front of them.

"Guys, I can't be late." Pope says getting ready to walk into school

"Hey. Hey." Kie calls out. She holds her hand out to him, "We gotta stick together."

"Stick together. Yeah." JJ mutters angrily to himself as he tries to walk away. Kie rolls her eyes and grabs his arm as they start walking. As soon as they make it to the steps, Kie turns.

"Estrella." She says. They all stop and the two boys turn as Estrella comes up the steps.

"Hey." She says

"Hey." Pope smiles

"We're sticking together, right?" Estrella says adjusting her backpack on her shoulder

"Yeah." Kie says. Pope holds his hand out to Estrella and she immediately takes it. She again misses the look she gets from JJ. He clenches his jaw and looks away as they all walk into the school together.

Estrella sat in English class. Her teacher going on about a book they would be reading for the next couple of weeks. Her head being held up by her hand as she taps her pencil on her notebook. She jumps slightly as her phone vibrates in her pocket. She looks down and pulls it out to set it on her desk.

She frowns as her screen comes on. It's a text from an unknown number. She looks up again to make sure her teacher isn't looking at her, but her teacher was now sat at her desk.

She looks back down and unlocks it. She almost fell out of her desk at the text.

A picture of John B and Sarah smiling at the camera.

Her eyes widen as she gets another text from Pope.

Did you get it too???

Yes. What the hell??

Meet us in the courtyard

As soon as she finished reading the text, she raises her hand, "Excuse me?"

Her teacher looks up. A small smile on her face, "Yes?"

"Can I use the restroom? I'm having some female problems."

"Oh yes, of course." She nods

"Thank you." Estrella smiles. She packs all of her stuff away and rushes out of the room. She sped walk outside with her bag on her shoulder. As she goes down the steps, she sees Pope, JJ, and Kiara at the tables.

"What's going on?" She says as she walks over to them

"We don't know. We're trying to figure it out." Kie says as Estrella drops her bag on the table and sits down.

"Is it actually them?"

"I'm just gonna ask." Kie says as she starts typing

"What if it's actually him, though?" JJ says

"Then I don't know, okay? I don't know." Pope says. Estrella looks down as Kie texts in the group chat they got put in.

WTF is this you???

Estrella can feel her heart pounding as they wait for a response

"He responded?" Pope says

Kie jumps up, "He's typing. He's typing."

Is JJ there?

Kie and Estrella look over to him as he types.

I'm here Bree

Did you pimp my short board?

JJ and Kiara chuckle as they read the text. Estrella smiles as she wipes the tears from her cheeks.

"It's him." JJ nods with a smile

"It's him." Kie says

"It's definitely him." Pope says looking to Estrella who nods happily. JJ gets up and daps Pope up before hugging him. Kie leans over and hugs Estrella from behind. The girl returning it.

As soon as they let go, JJ hugs Kie who smiles as she hugs him back. When he lets go, he starts to approach Estrella, but hesitates. Against her better judgement, she gets up anyway and hugs him. His arms going around her waist as hers go around his neck.

They let go shortly after and JJ turns away from her, "Yeah!" He cheers before he sits on the other side by Pope.

"Laying super low in Nassau." Kie reads, "How the hell did they get to the Bahamas?"

"You can't kill a Pogue, dude." JJ says shaking his head

"Especially John B." Pope says before their phones ding again.

Can you clear my name? Wanna come home.

"Hell, yeah, we'll clear your name, boy." JJ says as their phones go off again

"Be in touch. P4L." Estrella reads

"P4L, man. That's what I'm talking about!" JJ says as the others stand up. He gets up on the table, "P4L, baby!"

"Holy shit, dude." Estrella chuckles as Kie smiles at her. As JJ comes down from the table, they all pull each other in for a hug.

After school, the teens went over to The Wreck. They weren't going to the actual restaurant, but to sit at the dock by it to try and come up with a plan for John B. As they pass by, Kie's mom, Anna, calls out to her.

"Kiara, I need those setups done by five!"

"You know, there are other people that work here." Kie says

"None of 'em my children."

"I feel that. On a deep, emotional level, I understand that." Pope says as they approach the benches by the dock.

Kie and Pope set their bags down and sit on top of the bench. Estrella sets her bag down and sits on the actual bench on the other side of Pope. JJ sets his bag down by Kie.

"So we going to the Bahamas or what?" JJ says

"There's no way we're getting to the Bahamas." Pope says

"John B will get nabbed sooner or later. So if we're gonna clear his name, we need to have done it like, yesterday." Kie says looking around them

"I'll tell you how we do it." JJ says as he walks in front of them stopping by Estrella

"So you have it all planned out?" Pope says

"As a matter of fact, I do." He nods, "We kidnap Rafe."

"I'm sorry, what?" Pope says as Estella frowns. JJ sets his foot on the bench.

"We kidnap Rafe, tie him up and stick the gun in his mouth and just wait till he starts squawking."

"Torture is a war crime." Estrella nods as she scratches her arm

"Yeah, so how exactly do you plan on clearing John B's name from a prison cell? Because that's a felony." Pope says sarcastically

"All right, well, what do you got, Pope? I was just trying to keep it simple. You know, one stop, and we're done." JJ says sitting near Estrella

"Guys, all we need is a material witness. We saw Ward's plane fly right over our heads with the gold inside of it. He didn't fly it. If somebody else flew, they were there on the tarmac. They saw Peterkin get murdered. We just have to find whoever that was and get them to confess on record."

"How do we do that?" Kie says as JJ takes off his hat and runs his fingers through his hair

"A little light espionage."

"A little ghost recon." JJ smirks as he puts his hat back on

"Woogity-woogity." Pope says holding his hand out

Estrella and Kie hold their hands out as they all wiggle their fingers together.

"Woogity, baby." JJ says
