"You got the rope?" John B asked as he drove the van to Mrs. Crain's house.

"Got it," Pope nodded as he checked the bag of supplies.

"Grappling hook?" John B asked hopefully.

Pope shook his head as he dug through the pack. "We don't have a grappling hook. We're not Batman."

"Hey, you nervous?" JJ's lips ticked Gina's ear and sent a shiver down her spine.

Gina shrugged. "Meh, she's a old lady. A crazy old lady, but it's not like she could really do that much damage, right?"

"Yeah sure," JJ scoffed. "Trying to rob an axe murdering grandma is totally safe."

She smirked. "Are you scared?" she asked teasingly.

"Of course not." But Gina could tell, that just like her, deep down he was scared too. "I just wish we were back in your room, you know cause you're mom's working late tonight..."

Gina laughed and slapped his arm. "Keep it in your pants, JJ."

"We're here," John B said as the van came to a stop.

"Let's go get rich, guys," JJ smiled as John B got out of the Twinkie.

"Wait wait wait," John B said, looking at all of them. "I wanna say thank you, guys. Seriously. It means a lot to me that you're here tonight."

Kie rolled her eyes at his sentimentality, but then smiled. "Always."

"Of course, man," Pope smiled as well, doing the Pogue hand shake with John B.

"Alright, we done with the circle jerk?" JJ asked, ruining the moment. "Can we go do this?"

"Let's go get that wheat in the water," Pope cheered as they grabbed their gear and jumped out of the van.

"Weed?" JJ asked excitedly. "I'm up for weed!"

"He said 'wheat', dummy," Gina laughed as JJ took her hand. Gina started to climb the stone wall after Kie, but JJ put his hand on her butt and helped her get to the top. "I could have done that myself, but thanks."

"Yeah, I know," he smiled. "I just wanted an excuse to touch your ass."

Gina shook her head as she hopped down to the opposite side of the wall and muttered, "Perve." JJ took her hand again once he had climbed the wall. The six of them walked through the overgrown grass and Gina couldn't help but wonder when the last time this yard had been mowed. As they got closer to the house the porch light turned on.

"Shit!" Sarah gasped as JJ pulled Gina close to him and behind a bush.

"Flash lights!" Gina warned, turning off her own light.

"It's on strobe!" JJ complained as he tried to turn his flashlight off. Gina rolled her eyes, grabbed it out of his hands to turned it off.

"Okay, so she has motion sensor lights," Pope panted, looking terrified.
