If he catches my hair on fire, he's dead.
Kiara and Pope sit in front of us, talking about God knows what. I don't know where John B is, but I assume he'll be back soon because we need to come up with a plan. We also need to find a very large rope.
I'm moving my finger along the page, smudging lines I've just drawn. I don't know what I'm drawing, I'm just moving my pencil across the page until something comes out of the page. In my previous pages, I've been trying to draw some sort of tattoo design for JJ. I have a very clear idea of what should be on his skin, but I'm unsure what he will think of it.
Pope stands up, leaving Kiara and stepping into the Chateau to grab a drink. I sit quietly, humming to myself as I trace another line, curving it slightly. "What you drawing, Brooke?" Pope steps back in, pushing a drink towards Kiara before moving to sit on the armrest my legs are currently resting on.
I kick my legs off, letting him sit down. "I haven't got a..." I lift the sketchbook, showing JJ and Pope. The image is coming together, and I see what I'm drawing mindlessly. "Oh."
I lower the book, staring ahead Kiara. "What?"
Before I answer, I hear John B, but I hear another voice followed by his── one that nobody expects to hear on this side of the island. I close my book, my attention snagged by my brother and his... friend walking up the steps.
Kiara's head turns, and she exhales a laugh. "No effing way!"
Well, here we go, the fight we've been waiting for.
