Lila was looking around the backyard, alone that's was, for any clue. Her video camera was around her neck, a new ghost tracker she'd gotten in the mail in her hands. She crept close by, staying a good distance away from the house because rich people had security systems. A sudden yell came from near by.
"This is it." she said, hurrying around the side of the house and instead of ghost, coming across the guy from the door throwing Pope on the ground with a taser in his hand. Lila beat on the locked gate, "Hey, motherfucker, get off of him!"
Pope grabbed his wrist, kneeling him in the groin and pushing him off.
"Pope! You okay?" Lila asked, trying to figure out a way to get the gate unlocked, "Were you tased?"
Pope ignored her as he fought against the man when he reached for his gun. JJ suddenly ran over from the walk way, kicking the gun away quickly as Kie picked it up, "Come on!"
"Meet us around front!" JJ called out to Lila as she nodded and took off in a sprint around the other side of the house. Her video camera beat on her chest when she ran, ghost tracker in hand while her feet speed under her. Adrenaline pumped through her veins as she came around the corner, colliding with Kie as the pair avoiding knocking each other day, "Rich white people, crazy!"
"I know!" Pope agreed with Lilas words.
"Go, go, go." JJ said quickly as the four jumped into the truck again, shutting the doors and collapsing in the seats.
"Who the hell are those people?" Kie asked in disbelief.
"That was crazy! Let's get out of here." Pope said in disbelief as JJ started up the truck, turning it in a harsh circle. Lila braced herself as she leaned back on the seats with wide eyes, flying back when JJ hit the gas.
"Hang on to your hats, lady and gentlemen." Lila commented as JJ swerved around the corner suddenly, getting back onto the street.
"I think he's following us." Kie spoke as she looked at the car behind them.
"Wait, I have a thing." Lila said as she climbed over Pope and Kie.
"Yo! Lila! Get back down." Pope said in disbelief as her body leaned out the window, "You're gonna get shot!"
"Hey, Lila!" JJ called as Kie held onto her. Lila reached in her bag, grabbing the purple smoke bomb and throwing it at the car behind them. It blinded the guy enough for him to hit his breaks. JJ reached across, grabbing Lilas belt loop and yanking her back down, "Smoke bombs?"
"I started throwing one as an intro video for every time I whip this baby out." Lila said as she held her video camera up, "Badass, right?"
"Insane." Kie corrected her, "Why are you this reckless?"
"Hella badass, baby!" JJ cheered as he turned sharply once again.
"Turn right! Turn right!" Pope yelled as JJ drove down a one way street, honking cars echoing their way. JJ turned suddenly, nearly running over two figures.
"JJ! You almost hit those girls!" Lila said in disbelief.
"Get out of the road!" JJ hollered out the window.
"He's back." Kie said as the guy caught up with them again.
"That was evasive driving technique right there, y'all." JJ hollered out, Lilas hand clapping down on his thigh in panic, "Woah, hello there."
"Where we going?" Pope asked as they took another turn, the trio all falling into each other suddenly. JJ reached over and pulled them back up again, keeping his other hand on the wheel. The car suddenly started to smoke as they pulled into the alley.
"You said he fixed the carburetor." JJ spoke in disbelief as the truck came to a slow stop.
"Okay, what now, Mario?" Kie asked as the four climbed out quickly.
"Number one rule. Never trust mechanics!" JJ hollered out as they yanked their bags from the back, "We gotta go around."
Lila dug in her bag and threw her ghost tracker at the mans window shield. It cracked as Lila cringed, "My tracker."
"Lila, hurry!" Pope yelled as he grabbed her arm and drug her down the alley with the rest of them.
"Guys, I think he has a gun!" Kie yelled as they ran down the side walk, the smoke from the truck behind them along with the man.
"Shit, get down!" JJ yelled out.
"Go into the alley!" Lila yelled, grabbing JJ's shoulder and shoving him in first before she followed, Kie and Pope close behind as they ran quickly and as fast as possible.
"You threw your ghost tracker at him?" Kie asked Lila as they ran.
"I threw it at his window shield actually, Seventy bucks down the drain!" Lila said as JJ collided with a delivery man, "Oh my god, i'm sorry about him!"
"Sorry about that!" JJ called back to the man as they continued to run, "Right here! Cmon!"
They began running down another alley way, one after the other as it got slimmer the deeper they got. As they ran out into the street again, they were nearly ran over. Lila gasped at the sight of John B and Sarah on a powered bicycle, the kind tourist use.
Time paused for just a second.
"Holy hell!" she yelled suddenly as large smiles spread across all of their faces, chills and hearts thumping hitting each of them.
"Get in! Get in!" John B said quickly.
"I thought you were a girl." Lila said to John B as she jumped up to sit in the middle of the handle bars, "I can steer, you just peddle!"
"You sure?" he asked her, Lila leaned back against him with a grin.
"Positive." the blonde smirked, pulling on the electric bars as the cart began to move, John B bumping his legs so they'd go faster.
"Lila! He's behind us!" JJ yelled as him and Pope pushed behind the car. Lila swerved out of the way of a few walkers, yelling and laughing as John B held her on tight and pumping his legs.
"JJ! Pope! Jump in! I've got this!" Lila called as the cart jerked to the side again.
"Why would you let her drive?" Kie yelled out as JJ and Pope jumped in.
"Lila, go!" Sarah panicked as they began going down hill, making them go much faster before a sudden sharp turn was made by the girl, once again.
"Anyone else starving? We need to grab some sort of breakfast." JJ spoke up as the sun came up, indicating they'd been floating from Charleston back to OBX all night. Lila was slummed in Sarah's arm, her head laying on her chest as Sarah held her slightly.
"We're gonna find some food." Sarah spoke as the three girls stood up.
"Did you know you can eat flowers?" Lila asked, grabbing Kie's hand as she help her off the boat.
"Lila, please, no." Pope begged.
"Hey, Lila." John B whistled at her, making her turn as the purple bandana was tossed her way, "Been on me every since Crains house."
"It's the only reason you're alive." Lila said back with a hum, throwing it back, "Better keep it, John B."
"You think? Like a good luck charm? With your sweat and mine all mixed together now?" the brunette boy asked as he dangled it im the air.
"We're blood brothers now, man." Lila called out with a snap of her fingers before turned and following Sarah and Kie.
"You know we wouldn't even her without you." Pope said with a shake of his head in realization, "The day on the beach."
"Super hot touron that called you a booger." JJ nodded his head at the early summer memory, "Those were your exact words."
"Now look at her."John B said as he watched Lila fall over something on the dock, "Just a dirty pogue now. Running away from home and risking it all for us."
"Yeah, still hot though." JJ nodded his head.
"And pretty much my foster sister." Pope confirmed.
"Ugh! Jackpot!" Kie yelled as she hoisted the watermellow up on the air as the trio rummaged through a garden.
"Holy shit." Sarah said as they dug into the watermelon after cracking it open.
"Okay, so you really got married?" Kie asked in disbelief.
"It wasn't exactly legal, but yeah." Sarah flushed in the face.
"Woah. JJ and Lila are married, you and John B are married." Kie listed on.
"I forget you guys got married." Sarah said as she looked back at Lila, "Wasn't John B suppose to marry you?"
"Yeah but JJ was the one who threw the apple at my head." Lila nodded her head with a grin, watermelon juice running down her face, "That feels so long ago."
"Months feel like years." Sarah said honestly as she rested her head on her leg, "Theres no way we've only known you for four months."
"Past lives, i'm telling you, I knew every one of you in my past life." Lila snapped her watermelon fingers confidently.
"Am I crazy, or is there definitely something going on between you and Pope?" Sarah asked Kie with a minor smirk her way, throwing a piece of watermelon into her mouth.
"Maybe." Kie shrugged with a cheeky grin.
"That's not a no." Sarah shook her head.
"It's not a no." Kie agreed, earning a laugh from Lila as she fell onto the ground.
"What about y-" Sarah began.
"JJ and I aren't together." Lila said her way. Kie and Sarah shared a comical look.
"So not what I was gonna ask you." the Cameron girl laughed as Lila pushed up onto her elbows in curiosity, "You talked to Rafe?"
"Well." Lila sighed as she fell back on the ground, "After I thought you were dead, my moms took me back to the island. I practicality begged Rafe to come with me but he's decided to stay here and we just talked on a pay phone for a while until I jumped off a ferry, and came back to the OBX. And now he has no clue i'm here and we haven't talked any."
"It's true." Kie nodded.
"Woah, eventful." Sarah said with a eyebrow raise, "It's probably for the best anyways."
"What do you mean?" Lila asked.
"He shot me." Sarah said. Lila sat up immediately with an insane and shocked look across her face.
"Rafe shot you?!?"
