"Kiara, I need those setups done by five!" Kie's mom screamed as Kie, Quinn, JJ and Pope walked towards Kie's dock.

"There are other people that work here." Kie yelled, not even turning around to face her mom. "But ain't none of them my children!" Kie's mom yelled after her and Pope nodded, his conjoined hands with Quinn swinging as they sat down. "I felt that. On a deep, emotional level, I understand that."

"You know what? Quinn!" Kie's mom yelled and Quinn immediately turned to the restaurant, shaking her head. "My shift ended an hour ago, Mrs. Carrera!"

JJ took a seat on the step lower than Quinn, turning to look up at her, Pope and Kie. "So we going to the Bahamas, or what?" Pope let out a small scoff, shaking his head. "There's no way we're getting to the Bahamas."

JJ shrugged, leaning back into the seat. "John B will get nabbed sooner or later. So if we're gonna clear his name, we need to have done it yesterday." JJ said before his eyes went wide and he snapped his fingers, turning to the three. "I'll tell you how we'll do it."

Pope's eyes widened sarcastically, turning to the boy. "So you have it all planned out?" Quinn snickered, resting her elbow on her knee and her chin in her hands as she turned to JJ. "This'll be good."

JJ looked up at Pope and Quinn, slightly annoyed. "As a matter of fact, I do have a good plan. We kidnap Rafe. Tie him up and stick a gun in his mouth and just wait till he starts squaking." Quinn shut her eyes at JJ's words before pulling her lips into a line and looking at him. "And you think that's good because?"

"You know, tortures a war crime. And how exactly do you plan on clearing John B's name from a prison cell? Because that's a felony." Pope asked, making Quinn straighten up, her brows furrowing at JJ. "Yeah, and I rather not go to jail or whatever that was again."

JJ glared at the two, mainly looking at Pope. "All right, well, what do you got, Pope? I was just trying to keep it simple. You know, one stop, and we're done."

Pope shook his head, looking between the three. "Guys, all we need is a material witness. We saw Ward's plane fly right over out heads with the gold inside of it. He didn't fly it." Quinn's eyes widened in realization, sitting up slightly. "Which means, whoever did fly it was on the tarmac."

Pope nodded, glad she was catching on. "They saw Peterkin get murdered. We just have to find whoever that was and get the to confess on record."

"How do we do that?" Kie asked and Pope smirked, turning to Quinn who was thinking the same thing as him. "A little light espionage." Quinn said with a proud smile before Pope stuck his hands out to Kie and Quinn as Quinn stuck her hands out to Pope and JJ.

"Woogity-Woogity?" Pope asked, making JJ cheer, doing the handshake with Quinn. "Woogity-Woogity, baby!"

...

"If this guy flew planes for Ward, he's got to be pretty tight-lipped." Quinn said as she stuck her head in between the two front seats to look at Pope and Kie. JJ sighed, and Quinn turned her head him at the sound of a small click. "So then direct approach gets my vote."

Quinn's eyes went wide at the gun and JJ's hands, shaking her head vigorously. "JJ, no." JJ turn to Quinn innocently, shrugging his shoulders. "What?!" Quinn looked at JJ like he was crazy before turning back to Pope and Kie, pointing at the blond boy beside her. "Uh... I don't want to be back here anymore!"

"Put the gun done, man." Kie said and JJ rolled his eyes, putting the gun back in his bag. "We gotta keep this simple or we'll never get John B home." He grumbled angrily as Pope turned to him, a small smirk on his face. "Or we just tickle the wire."

Quinn's face scrunched and disgust, shaking her head as she pointed at him. "See, I know what you meant but that sounds gross." Pope rolled his eyes, holding back a smile at Quinns words. "I plant my phone in his car, and then we listen in on our AirPods." he quickly pointed his phone at her mouth and nodded his head. "Say something."

Quinn's mind went blank, trying to think of anything to say. "Uh... Waffle." JJ and Kie turned to Quinn with furrowed brows, making the girl just shrug. "What? I don't know. I'm hungry."

Pope sighed, listening back on the audio before nodding. "Okay, well, we have audio." Kie pursed her lips, looking down the street before pointing at the house across from them. "I think that's his house over there. All right, honk or uh.. yell or something is you see anything suspicious."

Quinn suddenly let out a loud gasp from the backseat, making JJ turn to her with wide eyes, startled by her loud voice as Pope and Kie slowly turn to her. "Bird calling!" Quinn cheered and JJs eyes went wider, shaking his head. "No."

Quinns face fell, turning to JJ sadly as Pope turned to JJ for an explanation, making the boy sigh. "She's been practising because there's this bird that comes to her window all the time so she tries to talk to it. She sucks at it though, so I suggest no bird calls."

Quinn looked at JJ offensively before shaking her head, turning to the two teens in the front seat. "No, no. Look." She made a small 'o' shape with her mouth, trying to whistle but it instead came out as an aggressive exhale.

Kie rolled her eyes, holding back a smile before turning to Pope. "Don't do anything dangerous." Pope snickered, shaking his head as he hunted his seatbelt. "Please. I'm not my girlfriend."

Quinns face fell again, glaring slightly at Pope as he turned to her. "I meant that in the nicest way." Quinn let out a small huff, playfully squinting at him. "Sure you did. Be safe."

"Okay." Pope mumbled, turning around in his seat. He placed a quick kiss on Quinn's lips before getting out of the car and walking towards Gavin's house.

JJ let out a long sigh, his arms crossing as he turned to Quinn beside him. "You know, I love third wheeling. It's my favorite thing. How's it been going? With Pope and all?" Quinn smiled at the question as Kie turned around in her seat to look at her. "It's good."

JJ nodded before a small smirk passed through his lips. "In the bedroom is he like... kinda freaky, cause it's Pope, you know?" Quinn instantly rolled her eyes, her hand going to her forehead. "Oh, God."

"JJ-" Kie warned and JJ turned to her defensively, shrugging. "What I want to know. Like I know they've slept together." JJ turned to Quinn and noticed her beet red face, making his eyebrows raise.

"You're gonna look me in the eyes and tell me you and Pope haven't slept together." JJ said. Quinn lips curled, trying to make eye contact with JJ but as soon as their eyes met, she groaned. "You know eye contact makes me uncomfortable!" Quinn yelled, making JJ laugh victoriously. "So you did do it! Oh, I feel like a proud mama."

Pope suddenly came barreling into the car and back into his seat with a tired sigh. "Okay. Phase one is complete." After not getting an answer, he slowly turned to look at the three teens with furrowed brows. "Everything... Are we all good?"

JJ and Kie had smirks plastered on their faces; Kie hiding hers and JJ not hiding his as Quinn sat up awkwardly straight, nodding. "Peachy."

...

"Why does she get to tickle?" JJ asked quietly, leaning forward and pushing Quinn out of the little spot between the two front seats to look at Pope and Kie. Quinn rolled her eyes, pushing JJ back into the seat as Pope looked back at the two. "She's the best."

Kie rolled her eyes at the bickering, turning to Quinn with an amused smile. "Should I like... do an accent?" Quinn gave her a sarcastic look, her chin falling slightly. "Can you do an accent?"

"Does this sound good?" Kie asked, her voice faking a British accent, making the three others in the car cringe.
"No." JJ said, a disgusted look on his face as Quinn shook her head vigorously. "Terrible."

"Batman." Pope suggested and Kie turned to him. "Batman?" She asked, her voice deep, making the teens nod. "There you go." JJ said as Quinn pointed at her. "Money maker right there."

Kie nodded and started to call Gavin. After a few rings, he answered.

"Hello?"

"Hello- I can't." Kie Cut herself off from the bat man impression, turning to Quinn and JJ in the backseats, shaking her head.

"Hello?"

"You do it." Kie whisper yelled, tossing the phone to Quinn, making her eyes go wide. "Me?" Quinn quietly yelled.

"Is anyone there?"

Quinn's eyes went wide, immediately putting the mic of the phone towards her mouth. "Yes. Greetings. Is Gavin there?"

"Greetings?" Pope mouthed and Quinn looked at him defensively, shrugging.

"This is Gavin. Who is this? Hello?"

Quinn quickly swallowed the lump in her throat before speaking again. "I know what happened on the tarmac."

"Um... Who's this?"

"It was Rafe Cameron. But you know that, don't you?" Quinn asked angrily, glaring at the phone even though Gavin couldn't see her.

"Okay, who is this?"

Kie took the phone from Quinn, going to talk to Gavin. "We're gonna prove it. You could've saved her Gavin, and you didn't. And you're not getting away with this."

"Listen to me! Who is this!?"

Kie, instead of answering Gavins yells, hung up the phone, turning to Pope and JJ with raised brows. "How was that?" JJ pursed lips nodding his head. "All right. I was scared. Good job."

Pope nodded excitedly. "Now that we tickled the wire-" "Still sounds weird." Quinn interrupted Pope but the boy kept going, unfazed. "Phase two is complete. Now we wait and listen."

Quinn nodded, Turning her head towards the house and instantly noticing Gavin running out and towards his car, making Quinn hit the back of Kie and Pope's seats to get their attention. "All right. Hey, here he comes."

"Stay down." Pope whispered as Kie leaned her sit back into Quinn's legs and pope shimmied down his. Gavin drove past the kids, not noticing them, making Quinn let out a small breath of relief. "He didn't see us." she mumbled sitting up in her seat as JJ turned to Kie, nodding his head. "Hit it."

Kie started to drive before Pope groaned, making everyone turn to him as he struggled to put on his seatbelt. "My seat belt." he muttered angrily, making Quinn turn to him like he was crazy. "Are you seriously buckling up?"

Pope whipped his head to her, nodding his head aggressively. "Yes, I am." JJ rolled his eyes, leaning forward to smack Pope's shoulder. "Dude, you don't need it right now."

"It's Ward. He's talking to Ward." Pope said, making Quinn's eyes go wide, grabbing the back of Kie's seat to lean forward slightly.  "Are you serious?" Pope nodded as he kept his eyes on the Gavin's truck. "Yeah. Get closer. Get closer. I can't hear."

Kie slowly started to speed up as Pope squinted at what he was hearing through the phone. "He's talking about negotiating something. Renegotiating." Pope said before his eyes double, turning in his seat so he could see all three of them. "Gavin's got the gun that Rafe used to kill Peterkin."

"Holy shit." Quinn whispered as Kie kept her eyes on the road but her eyes wide. "I think he's trying to use is as extortion, as leverage." Pope explained, making the girls nod as JJ squinted ahead of them.

"Wait. He's pulling over." JJ whispered, tapping Popes seat lightly, making everyone turn to the front, watching as they got closer and closer to Gavin's now parked car.

"Shit. He's panicking." Pope whispered, making Kie turn to the three with wide eyes. "Do I pull behind him?" Kie asked and Quinn immediately shook her head.

"No. That'll be too suspicious." Quinn whispered and Pope nodded in agreement, pointing down the upcoming street. "Go around the block." Kie turned to Pope with wide eyes, shaking her head. "We're gonna lose him."

Pope gestured to the street again, getting more anxious by the second. "Go. Go!" "I'm going." Kie whispered, hitting her foot on the gas harder to get back to Gavin's car.

"I can't hear anything. Shit! I'm losing signal. I can't hear him." Pope mumbled, adjusting his AirPods as Kie turned down another street and was met with construction workers. "What the hell is that?" Kie whispered as Pope hit the dashboard. "Stop! Turn around."

"Are you kidding!?" Kie yelled as a cement truck slowly backed into the street they were about to reverse in, making Quinn groan.

"Hey! We were about to back up!" Quinn yelled, sticking her head out of the car window like a dog but the workers ignored her. The sound of a car door opening and loud footsteps made Quinn put her head back in the car and look to the passenger door where Pope was now running away from

"Wait, Pope!" JJ yelled after the boy. "We gotta know where they're meeting!" pope yelled, not even turning around to yell. JJ groaned, hopping out of the car with Kie and Quinn.

"Hey! You can't leave that car here!" One of the workers yelled, making Quinn turn around and she continue to run, shrugging her shoulders. "You won't let us turn around so..."

Quinn faced in front of her again, watching as JJ and Kie hopped a fence. She followed after them and immediately recognized the backyard.

"Sean? Ah, this is where you live, you Kook." JJ yelled at Sean and his other friends in the pool. The teens in the water turned to JJ before noticing Quinn beside him, making the Robbins girl embarrassingly turn away and push JJ with her after Pope, Kie right behind them.

When they got up to Pope they saw him starting to run back towards them, making Quinn's eyes go wide as she pushed her arms out, grabbing Pope's shoulders to stop him from running. "Woah, woah, wait. What happened?"

Pope looked at Quinn with wide eyes, trying to catch his breath. "He's meeting with Ward right now. We gotta go." JJ looked at Pope with wide eyes before he nodded as well. The two boys started running with Kie right after them, making Quinn sigh, trying to follow after them. "God, I hate running."
