Rafe is driving God knows where. They have no idea where they're going, only that at some point, he'll have to stop, and they'll have to get off, and then, all hell breaks loose This might be the worst plan they've ever had on their track record, and the fact that Kathryn and Pope are the ones doing it is a little ironic, considering they're often the ones screaming about their stupid plans. But the situation didn't really call for rationality. Pope didn't think this through – he needs to get his family's Cross back.
Kathryn didn't want to lose another friend.
Dawn is rising when the truck slows down. They're somewhere on Goat Island, in the marshes where John B was bit by an alligator. Maybe it's stupid to think he might be putting the Cross back, but one can hope... or be idiotic.
She raises her eyes to Pope. "What do we do?" she rushes out.
He shakes his head. "Let's just... let's hide for now."
As Rafe backs up, the two climb down, scrambling over each other to hide behind one of those large trees. They press themselves against the bark, keeping out from view and tugging the other closer for support. God knows they need it right now.
He opens the truck. Kathryn expects the Cross, or something. Anything else but what he gets out. Rolled in a carpet, it's obvious that he drags a corpse across the mud and into the water. An alligator immediately starts his feast. Kathryn's hand flies to her mouth.
"Who is that?" she whispers at Pope.
Pope shakes his head. How should he know?
This isn't the first person Rafe has killed. If he killed them, though she doesn't doubt that at all. Hell, it's not even the first time Kathryn or Pope sees a dead body. Still, the view of the corpse catches them off guard, and she feels her stomach tighten, muscles lethargic, ready to throw up her lunch.
She doesn't know what goes on in Pope's brain. She can guess – she's been angry and vengeful all her life. She knows how it poisons someone, and she's been trying to get rid of it ever since. But when he springs out of their hiding place and rams into Rafe, she has trouble grasping what he's doing.
