Brooklynn and John B made it to Wren's garage at about the same time, greeting the three pogues that awaited their arrival.

John B did his best to explain what had happened with Sheriff Peterkin, Ward and Rafe. The group all came to the same conclusion; Rafe is fucking insane.

At that moment, the pogues were pulling into the police station. The Twinkie was left at the airstrip so they all squeezed into Brooklynn's pink BMW.

Brooklynn sat in the driver's seat with Kiara in the passenger seat next to her. Pope and JJ were sharing a joint in the backseat with John B stuck in the middle.

"John B, what are we doing at the police station?" JJ asked.

"Somebody's gotta tell them what happened," John B replied.

"Alright, I'm just gonna be real with you right now," JJ said, "You might end up in the lion's den, but you don't go there on purpose."

"What are you talking about?" Brooklynn asked.

"It's fundamental. Just like my old man always told me, you should never ever trust cops, no matter what the circumstance is," JJ elaborated.

"Your old man's an abusive liar," Kiara scoffed.

"And a criminal," Brooklynn added.

"I agree with JJ," Pope piped up, "Fuck the police."

Brooklynn wondered if being high for the first time was affecting his train of thought or if he really meant that.

"You're going to the dark side now?" Kiara jokingly asked.

"When's the last time the police ever helped us?" Pope asked genuinely.

"Like never," Brooklynn answered.

"Uh, no. Peterkin looked out for me," John B retorted, "Tried to, at least."

"Either way, they need to know," Brooklynn said.

John B nodded in appreciation, "You coming, Brook?"

"I'm the escape driver, so no."

Minutes later, John B emerged from the police station and rushed back into the vehicle.

"Brook, start the car!" John B yelled.

"John B, what did you do?" Kiara asked, watching two deputies follow John B out.

Brooklynn started the car and began to drive off. 

"Brook, drive! Go!" JJ ordered.

"What do you think she's doing?!" Kiara shouted.

Deputy Plum clung to the door handle, trying to pull it open.

"Let go of my car!"

"Open it," Pope said.
