THE POGUES GATHERED AT THE the docks to wait on John B. They had safely gotten the Phantom into the water, ready for John B to drive off in. The moment that Brooklyn had feared had finally arrived and she couldn't stop thinking about it. She kept pacing around, squeezing her eyes shut and digging her nails into her palms.

"Dude, where is he?"

"Give him a second. He'll be here." Pope told her whilst bandaging up his hand.

"He's coming. He'll be fine."

They all froze on the spot when a police car began to drive straight towards them. "JJ!"

"Hey, yeah. Get back on the boat."

"Shit."

They all stopped panicking when the sirens switched off and a familiar face stepped out.

Brooklyn was first to rush over to him. She enveloped the boy in her arms, knowing that these were her last moments with him before he took off and she wouldn't see him again for another few months... maybe longer if things went wrong.

"Shoupe let me take it for a spin." John B patted Brooklyn's back a few times for her to pull away.

"Okay. That's believable. I'll buy that for now." Kiara laughed at the boy's attitude and walked towards him to give him a hug.

"It wasn't easy, bro, but I got the Phantom for you." JJ threw the keys in his direction which he barely caught in his hands.

"You ready to go?" Brooklyn asked, placing her palm on his shoulder.

John B asked, "Where's Sarah?"

"She's not with you?"

"No, we got separated in the swamp. She said she'd meet me here." John B looked between all his friends but none of them had a clue what to say. Sarah hadn't shown up nor was she here.

"No, we haven't seen her."

"Okay, well, I'm not leaving without her."

"John B, look at me. I know you feel bad for leaving but there's no time, man. You got plenty of gas, plenty of food. Once you get around that point, it's a straight shot across to Dismal Swamp, okay?" JJ placed a hand on John B's shoulder but John B didn't seem to be listening. "Once you get there, lay low, all right? Hang out for a couple of weeks and then go overland, cross the border at Brownsville, you got that? Brownsville." John B eyes were wandering away from JJ He was clearly hoping that Sarah would show up out of the blue. "You- Hey! You got that?"
