"So they keep the money out here?" Pope asks as John B drives us to the apparent warehouse.

"That's what she said" JJ shrugs.

"Hah, that's what she said" He laughs, realising what he's just said.

"Stop" Pope snaps in annoyance and I smile in amusement, my head in Kiara's lap as she plays with my hair.

"I've never even heard of Resurrection Drive" Sarah states from the passenger seat.

"That's cause you're rich" JJ says.

"Hey!" I glare at the boy and he sticks his tongue out at me.

"You've never heard of it either" Kiara retorts.

"Thank you" Sarah says to Kiara gratefully.

"There's nothing but weeds back here" Makoa complains, looking out the window.

"All right, just cause it's just weeds, doesn't mean it's, like..." JJ struggles to finish his sentence but, unfortunately, a siren does that for him.

"Cops? Out here?" Kiara worries.

"Why would cops be here?" I murmur anxiously.

"God! Are you kidding me?!" JJ yells.

"What did we do?" Sarah asks in disbelief.

"Why are we getting pulled over?" Pope asks in confusion.

"Stash that" John B snaps at JJ who is holding the gold.

"Chill, guys" Kiara says calmly and I take a deep breath.

"Did you bring the gun?" John B asks JJ in panic.

"No. Okay? Everybody told me to leave it back at the place" JJ tells him.

"Thank God" Kiara breathes out in relief.

"Please, get everything else in your bag" She snaps at JJ.

"I am! I am, all right?" JJ retorts as he shoves his bag into the storage space under his seat.

"How much weed do you have on you, bro?" Kiara asks in disbelief.

I hear a gun cock and I slowly turn to see someone holding a shotgun to John B's head. I look closer at the guy's half covered face and my heart practically leaps out of my chest.

"Why don't I just go ahead and see them hands in the air right now?" Rafe's dealer friend, Barry declares.

"All y'all's hands up in the air right now!" He screams and we all put our hands up.

"You, out of the car! Let's go! Hurry!" He yells at John B who slowly climbs out the van.

"Let them out!" He adds.

"What are you waitin on? What are you waitin on?! Let them out! All y'all! Go on!" He shouts as John B slides open the van door.

"Let's get out the car! Let's go! There you go, pretty girl" He coos as Sarah gets out " Here we go! Get out the car, let's go! Hurry up!"

"Look, we're broke-" JJ is cut off.

"Shut the hell up!" Barry yells.

"All right! Just relax!" JJ barks, walking backwards.

I climb out the van last and Barry grabs my arm, shoving me against the van with a loud slam that shakes my whole body.

"Chill!" JJ snaps, moving to help me but the others grab him.

"I will blow your damn head off!" Barry threatens the angry blonde boy.

The man turns to me with amusement twinkling in his dark eyes and I gulp nervously, trying not to focus on the bruising grip he has on my arm.

"Does country club know his pretty little girlfriend is with dirty Pogues?" Barry questions me, but his tone seems more threatening than quizzical.

"No" I choke out, shaking my head and he laughs.

"Lay down in the ditch! On your goddamn hands and knees! Down!" He orders, shoving me towards the others and we all slowly drop to the ground in a row.

"Put your face on the ground!" Barry screams in my face and I put my head down, holding back tears.

"Stay here just like that! Put your head down! Don't let me see you look up! All right?! That's all y'all gotta do" He demands.

I turn my head slightly to the person on my left and I see it's Makoa who is staring at me with a worried expression on his face. He tries to give me a reassuring smile but tears start slipping from my eyes and I look back down at the dirt in embarrassment.

"It's a setup, guys" Kiara states defeatedly.

"That's old bat shanked us. Fuck! Goddamn it!" JJ groans, punching the ground.

"Alli, you're gonna be okay" Makoa whispers so only I can hear him.

"I'm scared, Koa" I cry.

"I won't let him hurt you" Makoa assures me, but I know that Barry isn't the 'him' he's talking about.

"Wait. No, no, no, no. John B. No" I hear Sarah whisper in a panicked tone and I look up to see John B stand up.

"Oh God" I whimper in horror.

"John B. Don't be a hero, man" Pope pleads.

The brunette shushes us and I watch in disbelief as John B climbs into the back of Barry's car, hiding in the back seat.

"All right, y'all stay just like that! Unless you want your brains blown out all over this road, don't move your goddamn heads, okay?!" Barry yells at us as he makes his way to his car, where John B is currently hiding.

He climbs into the car and I watch in concern as John B jumps up, grabbing the gun and fighting off the guy.

"Guys, I got the gun!" John B yells, jumping out the car.

JJ immediately jumps up and I scramble onto my feet as we sprint to the car.

Barry tries to take the gun from John B but JJ socks him in the face causing him to stumble back. He recovers and punches JJ back, making my eyes widen in worry for the blonde. Kiara throws her fist at the guy and he throws her to the ground.

"Kiara!" I gasp, rushing to her side to make sure she's alright.

"Hey!" John B yells angrily and hits Barry over the head with the gun, making him crumple onto the ground.

"I got the gold!" Pope shouts as I help Kiara onto her feet.

Barry tries to get up but Sarah grabs the car door, hitting him with it multiple times. Makoa and Pope send kick after kick to his body before Pope kicks him back against the car.

"Son of a bitch" Sarah spits as he slumps down, beaten and defeated.

JJ pulls his mask down and glares at him angrily, Barry's full face being revealed.

"I know this piece of shit! He's a basehead!" JJ growls.

"Probably knows my brother" Sarah huffs.

"He does" I confirm with a nod.

"He sells coke to my dad" JJ snaps and I muster up a glare for the lowlife in front of me.

"Listen, I couldn't hurt any single one of y'all-" He is cut off when JJ smashes the end of the gun into his stomach.

"JJ!" Kiara shrieks and Makoa grabs his arm, pulling him back.

"Dude, chill, man. Come on" Pope tells the blonde, taking the gun from him.

"Let's get out of here" He adds as JJ snatches Barry's wallet.

The blonde pulls out an ID card before throwing the wallet at the wheezing guy.

"We got one last stop" JJ states, storming towards the van.

"Hey!" John B yells.

"Let's go see where this son of a bitch lives" JJ snaps.

"I'm gonna remember this shit! You can't hide from me! I know exactly who y'all are! Huh?! You gonna see me again!" Barry shouts in rage as they all pile into the van.

Sarah is the first to notice I'm not following them as I stand in defeat, staring down at Barry who is smirking up at me.

"Tink, come on!" Sarah calls out.

"I'm not coming" I declare, turning to see everyone exit the van and look at me in disbelief.

"Allison, get in the van" Makoa warns me.

"He's going straight to your brother and you know that, Sarah" I speak to my best friend.

"Which is exactly why you shouldn't be there" Makoa argues.

"No, I need to be there. I have to fix this before it gets blown out of proportion" I explain desperately.

"Rafe is going to be pissed" Barry chuckles, causing Pope and John B to have to grab Makoa and JJ before they beat him up again.

"Let her go" Sarah decides and the Pogues look at her in disbelief.

"Are you fucking kidding me?" Kiara spits out.

"It'll be worse for her if she lets him simmer" Sarah tells them, walking towards me and pulling me into a tight hug.

"Stay safe, tinker bell" She whispers to me and I can hear the worry in her voice, knowing she doesn't want to let me go "If you don't call me in the next hour I'm going to come looking for you"

"I'll call you" I assure her.
