The pogues managed to get out of the Chateau, covered in soot and now sat in front of the Chateau on the grass the next morning. Athena's head rested against JJ's arm as they all watched the remnants of the Chateau burn.
"Could've been a faulty electrical wire." Pope suggested.
"Place was all wood." Kie stated. "A tinderbox."
"Thing just went up." Cleo added. "Boom."
"I guess it really was a piece of shit." Athena let out a small sigh. "Our piece of shit."

JJ exhaled, throwing his empty beer bottle into the rubble. It wasn't long before they all got up and moved down the dock. Athena stood in front of Sage, the brunette plaiting Athena's hair out of boredom.

"It always worked for me. How to avoid unpleasant circumstances 101. If there's a problem, you don't wanna face it, turn that face and keister around and walk the other way." JJ said, turning to face Pope.
"I'm not doing that, okay?" Pope commented, jumping off the wood where he was sat.
"I just want you to be there, dog." JJ sighed.
"I'm gonna be there. I'll meet you at the airstrip in an hour?" Pope informed him.
