"Listen, guys. I understand that you're upset about me using still, but that sick joke isn't funny at all" I declare, looking between the trio.

"We're not joking, Addy. Didn't they text you?" JJ asks.

"Shut up" I scoff in disbelief.

"Ads" Kiara sighs.

"I said shut up!" I snap.

"Will you stop being so stubborn and just listen?" Pope huffs at me.

"No, you listen!" I retort with eyes full of tears "John B is dead, okay? Move on"

"Then who sent us this?" Pope fires back, showing me his phone.

The picture of the smiling pair of John B and Sarah stares back at me in a taunting way that makes chills run down my spine. My tears start spilling before I can stop them and I let out a shaky gasp of breath.

"I didn't kill them" I breathe out in awe.

"They're alive, Addy" Pope assures me.

I hesitantly reach out and grab the phone, my eyes never leaving the image of the smiling couple.

"I never doubted them" JJ declares as we walk towards the Wreck.

"I still can't believe they're alive" I mumble in awe.

"I owe you five bucks" Kiara replies.

"Kiara, I need those setups done by five!" Anna shouts.

"There are other people that work here" Kiara retorts.

"None of 'em are my children" Anna quips.

"I feel that. On a deep, emotional level, I understand that" Pope groans as we take a seat on the dock.

"So we going to the Bahamas or what?" JJ asks.

"In your dreams" I laugh.

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

"John B will get nabbed sooner or later. So if we're gonna clear his name, we need to have done it, like, yesterday" Kiara states.

"I'll tell you how we do it" JJ replies.

"So you have it all planned out?" Pope asks sarcastically.

"As a matter of fact, I do" JJ grins "We kidnap Rafe"

"I'm sorry, what?" Pope asks in surprise.

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

"I hope you're fucking joking" I declare in disbelief.

"You know, torture's a war crime" Kiara pipes up.

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