CHAPTER FORTY
( ! the secret safe and the boy with the bad plan ! )
"I'M GONNA TESTIFY under oath. I was there. I just need to get a hold of my sister." Sarah spoke. Marley frowned, wrapping her arms around her legs as she looked outside at the pouring rain. They had all headed back to John Bs and found themselves outside on the porch as the rain came pouring down."Sister." JJ repeated, making eye contact with Pope who shrugged. Marley understood, to a point. She didn't know why Sarah needed Wheezie in order to testify, but she understood why Sarah would want to see her sister. "Kie, do you have your phone?" Sarah questioned.
"Wheezie is the only other person that knows Rafe wasn't home that day." Sarah further explained, looking directly at JJ. Now Marley understood the urgency to get ahold of her younger cousin. "Wheezie?" JJ questioned again, looking back at the girl.
Sarah sighed, pushing her hand through her hair. "I don't know what else to do. I got us into this mess. I'm gonna do my best to get us out." With that, she walked into the house with Kies phone.
JJ chuckled, looking around the rest of the group. "Wheezie? Yeah, that will work. Well, she's right about one thing. We gotta do something. Our boy is a PO-dub right now, okay? He's held captive by the enemy right now, maybe even scheduled for execution. And we're just gonna sit here?" By the end of it, JJ was screaming and Kie stood up. "What's the plan? We start by kidnapping Shoupe?"
JJ shrugged. "Maybe, like, that's not the worst idea actually." Marley shook her head. "Jesus, JJ." Kie rolled her eyes. "Oh, it's not?" The boy responded instantly, "No!"
"That is actually the worst idea I've ever heard." Pope spoke, adding in his input. "It's pretty bad." Sarah spoke from inside, hearing the conversation from the open window.
JJ turned around to look inside. "You know what? Please, just stay out of this." He turned back to Pope. "Okay, Pope, look, we've been doing everything your way, and how has that been working out? Huh?" Marley shook her head, placing it on her palms as she pushed down on her eyes just wanting this nightmare to end.
Pope stood up. "Okay, okay, so what's your plan? You gonna storm a jail, guns a-blazing?" JJ stood. "Look, Pope, all I'm trying to get you to understand is they got our boy. And are we just gonna sit here and do nothing? No! We're gonna go get his ass. We're gonna do something about it!"
"JJ, we're not storming a jail. It's not happening." Pope responded. "No, fine, man. Sit in your comfy chair. Do nothing. I'm gonna see what I can do. Make something happen, even if I have to do it by myself." JJ finished.
"Okay." Kie shrugged. JJ looked to Marley, making eye contact with the girl to question whether or not she'd come with him. Marley shook her head, standing up. "I can't deal with this right now." She moved away from the group, going inside and sitting with Sarah.
