Sarah You're Bleeding

3rd Person POV

amelia and sarah watched as they lifted john bs head and then they ran over and turned on the sprinklers. they then hid in the storage unit. via and sarah looked at each other and grabbed the oil tin as they hid

sarah got in and via followed after holding bug spray

"what the fuck is this?" via asked as she looked around

"yeah what is going on?" sarah questioned and john b stared at them

"hey hey hold it right here" the man said to them and they put up their hands

"i'm val, this is allie. we're house sitting for the cameron's" Sarah announced

"you live here?" he asked them

" No we're housesitting. We started a week ago" Via stated

" we caught this guy trying to break in" he stated and they walked around to make eye contact with john b

" What? No, I know him. He cleans boats for the neighbors" Sarah said

" Which neighbors?" he asked

" Like, the Stanley's they live down the street" Sarah said

" What's his name?" he continued to press

" Vlad his name is vlad" via said and she lifted the can of oil as she chucked it at them and sarah sprayed bug spray into their eyes

" sarah, via come on let's go to the car" John b said and they ran away from them. they got in and john b ran away

" John go now" Via said and the man caught up as he grabbed sarah

"WATCH IT BITCH" she yelled and she kicked the man in his face as they drove away. they got to a building and got out of the car

" I have never loved you two more. Yeah that was crazy you straight up donkey kick that dude in the fucking face" John b said

" On beat shut the fuck up. You lied to me and sarah OK. You lost the only money! you ran away and you must got us both Caught, if not shot. How is any of this OK?" via yelled at him

" I am proactively admitting then I screwed up and I'm willing to do" he started but sarah caught him off

" Practically meeting doesn't do anything. I've lost my father. I've lost my brother. I've lost my little sister. I can't lose you and Via OK and I especially can't lose via" Sarah said and via grabbed her hand

" OK, it won't happen again" John b said

" I'm calling the shots now. And to start, I'm driving" sarah tried

" i can't drive stick" she said and via nodded as she hopped in the front seat and john b got in the back with sarah in the passenger seat

they drove to the docks where cleo and the others were

" OK, can I say that this is arguably the worst idea we have ever had" John b said as they got out of the car

" Or the most genius idea" via stated as they walked to their boat and looked at them

" Look what the cat done dragged in" He announced

" We have a proposition" Via exclaimed

" If it involves giving you that rock back, but nugget, forget it. You're lucky I'm not on the phone with the cops right now" He said to them

" We're not worried about that, because you saw what was in that safe, did you not?" Sarah said

" Yeah I did" he retorted

" It was exactly what we told you was going to be. Right?" Sarah said

" Yeah but that things like down tighter than a clam shell now" Cleo said

" Well obviously but the golds not staying there. Sarah's dad's gonna come down to move it. He'll have to" Via said

" So what are you proposing, a Brinks job?" he asked

" Think about it. You have a boat that can get us away. You know people and the island, and that I can find out exactly when that gold is moving. And I'll give you 2 million" Sarah said

" So let me get this straight. We take the risk of going to jail and getting shot for a fraction of what's in that safe" terrance tried

" Afternoon abandoned us? Stole my boat? I don't know you shit. But I'll give you 10" sarah said and via raised her eyebrows

" 10 million a piece" Cleo said

" I like that 10 apiece" terrance stated

" A piece? OK. Do you know what? We're getting" but he was cut off

" John b. 10 million a piece" sarah agreed

" $10 million. We're just throwing money away" John b saie

" Would you rather us die John b?" via said

" You have yourself a deal sweetheart" terrance said to sarah and he shook her hand. that night they drove back to the place , sarah walked outside and she called her sister. via and john b sat next to each other as they waited for her , she walked back in talking to wheezie and she sat down to via

"so what's our next move?" via asked her girlfriend

"wheezie sends the picture and... we're on" Sarah said as she held up the phone

"okay. i guess we're doing this" John b said and via made eye contact with sarah

"guys i'm cool with armed robbery but are you?" he asked them

"my entire life. ward has always gotten what he's wanted. everyone jumps for him and i thought it was respect, but now i realize that fear. and guys... john bs dad and you two are the only people who never jumped for him. you guys aren't like anyone i met because via you aren't scared of my dad and neither was he. this is for your dad and sheriff pete and us" Sarah said and via leaned in as she kissed her girlfriend

"okay laptop me" via said as they pulled away and handed the laptop to her

"okay so , the gold is here at wards house. he's going to transport the gold from their house to a private air freight company located here. we need to take that gold back before it can even reach the plane" via stated

"right. there are only two roads that'll take you there. we want to get him in these cane fields right here, south of the airport. that's where we spring the trap. now you guys will dumped off right here.then right there where those tree lines are, they're gonna come from that direction. once cleo and i get daddy on the ground, y'all can take the gold" terrance told them

"all we need is a diversion" via said and cleo held up the hand that held the knife

"i can help with that" she said and they smiled at each other, cleo and sarah walked away and via looked at john b. terrance looked at via

"so young love lady?" he asked her and she smiled

"something like that" Via said and he smiled at her

"i'm happy for you two, you look in love" He said and john b spoke up

"they are, it's sickening but cute" he spoke and via shoved him as terrance laughed at them. they waited inside until the plan began. via and sarah sat next to each other as they hid waiting. they held each other's hands as via pulled the hat down lower on her head and pulled the sweatshirt tighter

"let's do this" Via and cleo said as they followed after them and got in the car. they drove to their heading spot and via helped stash out as they hid in the tall grass. they listened in

"two?" john b spoke

"fucking rafe" via said and sarah grabbed her hand

"are they armed?" john b asked

"to their teeth" he told them and john b loaded the gun as via twirled the knife cleo gave her. they waited until the signal. they set up the roadblock and via got out of the grass with john b and sarah

they watched as cleo held a knife to rafes throat and terrance held a gun to wards head. via smiled softly, she shouldn't have but she was waiting for this. they ran to the car and ward looked at them

"Sarah?" he called

"SARAH" he yelled as via turned to him

"SHUT THE FUCK UP WARD" she yelled back as sarah removed the cover up and looked at her dad

"BABY! YOURE ALIVE! SARAH! YOURE ALIVE!" he said and he stood up as cleo removed the knife for rafes throat

"do not talk to her, do not" Cleo yelled and john b held the gun up before a gunshot rang out and they got in the car driving away

via looked at sarah in fear

"sarah youre bleeding" she said as sarah dipped her finger into her blood

"i'm shot" sarah said and via looked at john b

"DRIVE NOW" via said and he sped up

she could only pray for her girlfriend in that moment and she really fucking needed to pray
