( twenty-five. )
"So, they keep money out here?" Pope asked, looking out the window at the boarded up shacks and trees.
"That's what she said." JJ chuckled. "That's what she said."
"Stop." Pope said, shushing him.
"I've never even heard of resurrection drive." Sarah said, looking back at them all.
"That's because you're rich." JJ commented, holding the gold in his hands.
"You've never heard of it either." Kie chimed in, June nodding along.
"It's kinda sketchy out here." June commented, looking for any sign of a road, or warehouse of any type.
"There's nothing but weeds out here." Kie said. Just as JJ began to speak a police siren went off, all of them looking out the back window at the car.
"Cops?" June asked, as everyone started to freak out.
"Are you kidding me?" JJ said, reaching for his bag and throwing the gold inside.
"What did we do?" Sarah asked.
"Stash that." John B said, putting the car in park and looking back at JJ. "Did you bring the gun?"
"No okay? Everyone told me to leave it back at the place."
"Thank God." June said, sitting back in her seat . JJ stashed his bag under the seat.
"How much weed do you have on you right now bro?" Kie asked as the officer started walking up to the car. John B turned his head to greet the officer but instead was met with a shot gun in his face.
"Why don't I just go ahead and see them hands up in the air. All yalls hands up in the air right now!" They guy with the gun yelled, pulling John B out of the car and telling him to open the door on the other side. JJ gripped June's hand, pain coursing through her arm but she was too confused and distracted to care.
"What're you waitin on! What're you waitin on! Let them out." The guy with the gun yelled at John B. John B pulled the door open, all of them exiting. June had her hands up as far as she could, her right arm unable to go too high.
"We're broke-" JJ started, yelling at the man.
"Shut the hell up!" Pushing the gun into his face. Pope pulled JJ back as he told the guy to chill.
"Lay down in the ditch! Lay down in the ditch! On your hands and knees! Put your fav win the ground! Stay here just like that!" June got down onto the ground, her lip quivering as she pressed her face into the ground. The guy turned around, jumping into the van and ransacking through it.
"It's a setup guys!" Kie said, pressing her head against the ground.
"That old bat shanked us. Fuck!" JJ was seething, punching the ground to let his frustration out. June shook her head, glancing up at the guy with the gun. She looked back in the direction of John B who was starting to stand.
"Don't be a hero man." Pope said in a hushed tone. John B took off running towards the guys car. He jumped into the backseat closing the door quietly. June's arm was starting to ache as she looked over at JJ, who looked like he was seeing red. He was breathing very heavily, fighting with himself trying to keep himself from jumping up.
"JJ." She said, causing him to look over at her. Before he could reply the guy jumped out of the car, pointing the gun at them.
"Alright y'all stay right there. Unless you want your brains blown out all over this road, don't move your heads okay?" The guy made his way back to the car, closing the door and sitting down. They all watched as John B jumped out fo the backseat, grabbing the gun and wrestling with the dude for it.
"Get the gun!" He yelled, all of them finally getting up and running over to help him. JJ was up first, running over and dodging a punch, punching the guy in the side before the guy punched shin in the face. Kie ran over, getting a good hit on the guy before he threw her on the ground. John B hit him in the head with the gun, causing him to fall on the ground.
"I got the gold!" Pope yelled as Sarah slammed the car door into the guys head. June kicked him repeatedly, until he flipped over, his back against the car door.
"You son of a bitch!" Sarah yelled at him. June went in for one more kick, the guy groaning as her foot made contact with him. JJ reached forwards and pulled the bandana down from the guys face.
"I know this piece of shit! He's a basehead." JJ said, looking down at the guy.
"Probably knows my brother." Sarah commented.
"He sells coke to my dad." JJ said, before reaching down and grabbing the gun.
"Hey listen I could've hurt any of y'all-" Before he could finish what he was saying JJ hit him in the face with the shotgun, the guy falling to the ground.
"JJ! Calm down." June said, running up to help grab the gun away from him. JJ reaches into his pocket, grabbing his wallet and pulling out his id.
"Let's get out of here." Pope said.
"We got one last stop. Let's go see where this son of a bitch lives." JJ said, pushing past them all and heading to the car. June followed after him after sharing a look with them all. John B threw the guys keys into the woods, before following them all back to the car.
"I'm gonna remember this shit! Y'all can't hide from me! I know exactly who y'all are!" The guy yelled after them as they drove off. The following car ride was silent as they all just looked at each other. June was sat in the back by Sarah and Kie, JJ driving with John B in the passenger seat and Pope across from her. They pulled up to the trailer, all of them wondering why they were here.
"Welcome to crackhead wasteland." Sarah commented, looking out the window.
"I don't know about this man." Pope said. JJ parked the van as John B, smacked himself in the head.
"Dude why're we at Barry's?" John B asked. JJ reached for the door handle, pushing it open.
"This'll only take a second." JJ said, walking towards the house.
"Where are you going?" June asked, climbing over John B to call to him.
"Yo soy justicia." JJ called back, walking Into the house.
"What the fuck is that?" June said, climbing back over John B to sit in her seat.
"You know somebody should probably-"
"Yeah I got it." John B said, opening the door to the van and making his way inside. June looked around at the other three, shaking her head as she did so. Form what she had learned and heard about JJs dad it was starting to seem like he had really taken a toll on JJ.
"What's this all about?" June said pointing towards the house. June was still fairly new to the group and new to actually knowing JJ. Prior to what she had experienced she had no idea what kind of person JJ was.
"It's JJ. Who knows?" Pope answered, shaking his head as well. June jumped out of the van, looking around the yard and gathering her scattered thoughts as JJ and John B walked out of the house.
"All right so we're looking at five grand each for reparations for putting us through that bullshit. Sorry about that y'all." JJ said, looking at the bag in his hand. June stepped towards him.
"So that's what we're doing now? Robbing drug dealers?" Kie asked, looking at John B and JJ.
"That's not cool JJ." June said, shaking her head at him.
"This Barry guys gonna find out. And he's gonna come after us." Sarah said.
"Yes he will and this is not the time to start wilin' out." Pope said, pleading with JJ. They were all stood around him, trying to reason with him.
"How'd you guys like having a gun pulled on you?" JJ said, his jaw tending as he stepped forwards.
"Relax." John B said, getting in Jjs face.
"He had it right here on you bro." JJ said, pointing towards John Bs face.
"Look, we've gotta go get the gold. Just give me that shit." John B reaches for the bag, JJ pushing him up against the side of the van. June launched forward, trying to pull JJ away but he just shook her hands off of him.
"Do you feel like a tough guy? Huh? What's re you gonna do when he comes for us?" John B asked, getting into JJs face again. June stepped back, shaking her head.
"We punch him in the throat." JJ replies, June sighing behind him.
"Yeah good fuckin idea JJ." John B said. The two of them staring at each other for a second more.
"I'm not putting it back." JJ hopes into the van, taking a seat and sniffling. No one else got in, they all just stared after him as he soon took notice.
"You guys getting in or what?" JJ said, taking a deep breath before stepping back out of the van. They all circled him and looked on as he looked confused. June wanted to grab him, pull him into a hug or something. But it was clear that something else was going on here.
"What?" JJ asked.
"We're sick of your shit." John B said stepping closer to him. June moves to object but Kie pulled her back by her wrist, shaking her head.
"Oh my shit?"
"Yeah yeah your shit."
"Yes. Your pulling guns on people shit." Kie added. June was nervous, not really knowing what was going to happen next.
"You acting like a maniac-" Pope starts debut he was cut off by JJ.
"Okay Pope I took the fall for you man! Know how much money I owe because of you?"
"I'm gonna pay you back, and I didn't ask you to do that!"
"I just did! Pay it back. Right here right now...by myself." JJ said, quickly turning away and looking towards the driveway.
"You know what? That's exactly what I'm gonna do. Go off by myself." JJ grabbed his bag, starting to walk away.
"JJ!" Pope called after him but John B pulled him back. June started towards him, but Sarah pulled her back.
"Just let him go." Sarah said, looking at June who immediately furrowed her eyebrows.
"Why? Why should I let him go? There's obviously something going on." June said, lifting her arm to point towards where JJ was exiting.
"Let's just go." They said, all of them pushing her into the van as she fought with herself to get to JJ.
