Aubrie sat in the back of the boat, shaking outside of her house while the pouges argued. "So, what? Are we just supposed to knock on the door and say hey is John B here?" Liv fussed.

"I mean, it's not that far off. John B lives at Tannyhill now." Kiara reasoned. "We could play dumb."

"Play dumb?" JJ quipped.

"It's pretty late." Pope said, worrying about his scholarship interview.

"Look, I've never seen John B like that." Kiara argued. "We should honestly be going to the cops."

"The cops? Yeah and say what, Kie?" JJ replied. "We're worried about our friend because he's going on a rampage cause Ward Cameron killed Big John? They're not gonna believe us!"

"There, I see Ward." Pope interrupted.

"Let me see." Kiara replied, taking the binoculars.

"Doesn't look dead to me." Pope said. "Let's go home."

"Wait what?" Olivia questioned.

"Obviously Mr. Cameron is fine, and even if John B was here, he isn't now." Pope argued. "Plus I have the biggest, most important moment of my life in six hours."

"Yeah well out friend is in trouble." Kiara fussed.

"He's right." Aubrie mumbled. "I can't let you ruin your future over my dad."

"Exactly." Pope said. "I haven't been home in three days. My dads probably put all my shit on the street by now."

"Okay so that's it?" Kiara replied. "In a time of need you're just gonna bail? You're just gonna walk away?"

"Okay, yo, guys can we not do this right now?" JJ said

"He's right." Olivia nodded. "We have bigger problems."

"I have my scholarship interview in the morning I can't-"

"Okay well what about John B?" Kiara quipped.

"Why's it always about John B?" Pope retorted.

Kiara shook her head. "It's not always about John B, you're so stupid! It could be any of us in this situation!"

"Oh, bullshit!" Pope fussed.

"This is about friendship!" Kiara shot back.

"Guys quiet down please." Aubrie said.

"This is about pouges for life!" Kiara cried.

Pope rolled his eyes. "What about Forensic Pathology, huh?"

"Forensic Pathology?" Kiara replied.

"Yeah, that's my life! That's everything I've worked for!" Pope defended.
