"What you doin' hanging around with those surf rats?" He chuckled.

I shrugged. "Reasons,"

I was purposely vague when telling him. He didn't need to know shit.

He raised his eyebrows. "Do those reasons have anything to do with that gold they just brought in?"

Holy shit. That meant Barry was the woman's boss.

"Damn right," I smirked. "Get them to trust me then take the gold for myself. I was gonna give it to my dad but decided against it,"

"You wanna help me get it right now?" He asked.

I raised my eyebrows. "I'm listening,"

"Come here," He instructed.

I followed him into the back room that the woman had been in. He opened a drawer and pulled out a gun, smirking.

"She gave them a fake address. Imma pretend to be a cop, pull them over. Then, we pull the guns on them and take the gold. Split it fifty, fifty,"

Oh fuck. It was a set-up from the beginning.

I took the gun out of his hand. "Sounds good to me,"

He lightly shoved me toward the door. "Now go before they start suspecting something,"

I put the gun in my waistband and covered it with my shirt. Then made my way outside, hopping in the Twinkie with the others.

"Where the hell were you?" Sarah chuckled.

"That woman tried to get some info on where we got the gold. I shut her down real quick," I lied.

"Hell yeah," JJ chuckled, high-fiving me.

John B began driving to the fake address as I waited for Barry to come up behind them.

"So, they keep money out here?" Pope asked as we rode past a bunch of weeds and run-down houses.

JJ shrugged. "That's what she said,"

A chuckle then escaped past his lips. "Ha, that's what she said-"

"Stop," Pope interrupted.

"I've never even heard of Resurrection Drive," Sarah spoke up.

Yeah, because it's not real.

"Cause your rich," JJ remarked.

Kie glared at him. "You never heard of it either,"

"Thank you," My sister said.

The sound of a siren suddenly filled the air, followed by flashing red and blue lights.

I took a breath. Here we go.

"Cops? Out here?" Kiara asked.

"God, are you kidding me?!" JJ huffed. "I hate cops!"

Sarah turned around, looking out the back window. "What did we do?"

While the others frantically tried to hide everything, I was mentally preparing for what I was about to do.

They lifted the seat to reveal a small compartment, shoving the gold into the backpack, then the backpack into the compartment.

Suddenly, the barrel of a shotgun came through the driver's side window. Barry's face was covered with a mask.

"Why don't I just go ahead and see those hands up in the air right now," Barry instructed.

I lifted my shirt and pulled the gun out of my waistband.

"Y'all too," I demanded. "Hands up,"

"Aspyn..." Sarah whispered, her eyes filling with tears.
