"I'm so glad that they're still doing this," said Kie as they walked on the lawn with all their stuff.

"Do you remember last year, when we came with your parents?" asked Isis, carrying a sheet.

"Yeah, that was great. It'll be even better tonight, since they're not here."

Isis let out a laugh.

"Nasty."

"Only facts. Guys, aren't you glad I made you come?" asked Kie to the boys, who were now pulling a face.

Isis didn't understand at all, but as soon as they got out of the car, they seemed quite nervous.

"Ecstatic," answered Pope.

JJ cleared his throat.

"My couch was pretty comfy, I'll be honest."

"I can be even more, if you want," replied Isis with a smirk.

He chortled.

"Thought I had won."

"You're never out of the fight," she assured. "Could someone help me with this?"

Kie put her bag down and came to her. They spread the sheet on the grass. Then, the first one went to buy drinks. Isis turned to the boys, who were talking in a low voice.

"Hey, what does that mean? Why all those whispers?" she asked, crossing her arms on her chest.

They looked at her, pretty uncomfortable. She raised an eyebrow.

"Uh, hello? Suddenly you can't talk? Why do you look like some trapped animals?"

They shared a look. Pope sighed then came closer to Isis, grabbing her arm.

"Topper knows I sank his boat," he whispered in her ear.

She stayed silent for a second, amazed.

"Wait," she then said. "You did what?!"

"Shh! I did this because they beat me up, I wanted to get revenge--"

But Isis wasn't listening anymore.

"Where are they?? I swear I'm gonna whoop those motherfu--"

"No, please, don't!" held Pope back grabbing her shoulders. "Please, Izzy, I really need your help on this. Just, be quiet about it, and-- and watch out. Please."

She frowned, but nodded.

"Yes, of course. I have your back."

"Thank you," he sighed.

They sat on their campchairs. Isis settled right to JJ. Kie came back with three Pepsis for them.

"Just saw Rafe, and he said, and I quote, 'tell your boy that we know what he did'."

Isis shared a concerned look with JJ.

"What is that?" inquired Kie.

"Um... Where is he?" asked JJ.

Kie turned around.

"Right there."

Isis followed her gaze, and saw Rafe, Topper and Kelce watching them from a distance. She pursed her lips.

"Great; the whole death squad," Pope freaked out.

"Don't stare, bro!" warned JJ turning his head the other way around.

Isis tried the best she could not to get up and yell at the Kook threesome. She felt tensed up.

"Just warning, bro," added JJ. "If they corner me, I'm coming out swinging, okay? Slice and dicin'. I'm on edge right now."

"Tell me about it," grumbled Isis.

Kis was looking at them oddly.

"If that doesn't work, I got this right here," JJ said lifting his backpack.

Isis frowned at him.

"What-- What does that mean?"

JJ took a sip of his drink, and clenched his jaw.

"I asked you a question!" she insisted. "What do you have in your bag??"

"Nothing to worry about."

Kie seemed to be upset.

"Please, JJ," she said in a tensed voice. "Tell me you did not bring a gun here?! JJ, there are kids!"

"No, Kie, I didn't bring the gun. Everything's fine, okay?"

"Oh, wow, thank you! That's really convincing, I love that, JJ," Kie replied with a bitter irony.

Isis suddenly catched the bag. JJ tried to prevent her from open it, but she pushed his hands away clicking her tongue. She unzipped the bag and took a look inside. JJ let out a sigh.

She closed the zip and threw the backpack at his feet with a pale face and pursed lips.

"Iz--"

"Shut up," she hissed.

"What the fuck is going on??" asked Kie. "Founding principle, you guys. No secrets amongst Pogues. What is Rafe talking about?!"

Pope looked deep at her. But neither Isis or JJ were listening to him.

"Come on, Isis..." insisted the latter in a begging voice. "Don't be mad at me."

She looked up at him with dark eyes.

"You're a pain in my ass, okay? What were you thinking of, bringing this thing here?!"

"To protect my friend, maybe!"

"Oh, so you're planning on killing someone?? Very smart, JJ."

He looked at her for a while before sighing again. Isis was so upset she got off her chair and sat a bit ahead on the grass, her back turned on JJ.

The movie started a few minutes later.
