"That's a lot of wax on your board, man," Pope said as he watched JJ, "Put too much wax, it's gonna be slippery."

The group sat in the shed at the chateau recuperating after what happened last night.

"Are you telling me how to wax my board, Pope?" JJ asked.

"Just saying that's a lot of wax," Pope said.

"No, no, no. You're telling me how to wax my board. Are you kidding me?" JJ said.

"I'm just saying that's a colossal waste of wax," Pope defended.

"Can you two stop arguing," Evelyn said.

"Yeah guys, really?" Kie asked.

"Did you hear that?" JJ asked.

Evelyn sat up form her chair as she heard a car horn behind her. She got up from her chair seeing the Twinkie pull up into the driveway.

"Hold on. Am I dreaming?" JJ asked.

"Are you serious?" Kie asked.

"You're definitely not dreaming," Evelyn smiled.

"Guess who's out of the clink, boy!" John B yelled as he got out of the van.

"No freakign way, man!" Pope said ask the group made their way toward John B.

Kie attacked him in a hug as Evelyn followed suit.

"My boy's out of the can!" JJ said engulfing everyone in a group hug.

"We missed you," Kie said.

"I missed you guys too," John B said.

"How'd you do it? You bust out?" JJ asked as they all pulled away from the hug.

"Uhh, they dropped the charges," John B said.

"They dropped the charges," Pope repeated.

"That's phenomenal," Kie said.

"Best case scenario for sure," Evelyn said.

"So you're telling me I did all that work for nothing?" JJ asked.

"Oh, the most elaborate escape plan of all time?" Pope said.

"Oh 'foolproof'," Kie said adding finger quotes.

"Yeah, it was, actually," JJ said.

"Wait, where's Sarah?" John B asked looking around.

Evelyn bit her lip looking at her friends.

"No, no, no. Where...where...where's Sarah?" John B stuttered.

"She went to go meet Wheezie last night," Evelyn said, "She didn't come back."

--

"So Sarah just dips and doesn't call?" John B asked as the group was standing on the dock.

"Yeah, man. She just left her bag. Didn't tell anybody," Pope said.

"Okay, dude, I...I really think Ward got to her," John B said, "I mean the dude tried to have me killed in jail."

"What?" Kie said as everyone turned to look at John B.

"Yeah," John B confirmed, "He sent somebody to the prison who yoked me up and almost killed me."

"Are you serious?" Evelyn asked.

"Yes," John B said.

"Do we know who this dude was?" JJ asked.

"No, I have no idea," John B replied, "Dude, I swear to God, one day I'm gonna kill that son of a bitch."

"It's okay," Kie said.
