It was the next morning and everyone was gathered at the Chateau again, Kiara and Sarah were in the van, while Nate and Pope were smoking a blunt as John B was showing them something, "Okay, so he said it looked something like this." Kiara pointed to the drawing. "That's 50 feet down, and they're using 100-feet rope. So I guess this little wagon will..." Sarah laughed, "...straight to the gold room." Kiara explained.

"Who drew this?" Sarah laughed again as Kiara joined her.

"Who do you think?" Kiara looked up at her, with a smile before looking over at Nate.

Nate looked over at her with a smile, before John B nudges him, "N, you gonna help?" he asked the younger Maybank. Nate turned his head to Pope and John B.

"Okay so, we get this boat winch out, bring it to the basement, drill it into the floor. We lower you both down and get as much as we can." Pope explained to them, as he looked between Nate and John B. "And, uh...this time we won't drop you." Pope said to John B.

"That'd be great,"

While Kiara kept looking over at Nate with smile, Sarah noticed, "So, how long have you liked him?" the Cameron girl, asked with a smile.

"W-what...No, I don't like Nate...he's my best friend..." Kiara denied as she looked at Sarah, but she knew she was lying.

"Kie, I can tell the way you look at him," Sarah told her with another smile.

Before Kiara could say anything, JJ walked over to them, "Kie! This better work." he said, Nate approaches them as he leaned against the van, he smiled over at Kiara as she returned it, "We can't pawn this if there's a giant wheat symbol on it." JJ explained.

"Well, we can always melt it down," Nate suggested as they looked at him, before his brother ruffles his hair.

Both Kiara and Nate started to melt down the gold, as they steal glances with each other.

-----

They headed to the pawn shop, and once they got there John B parked the van, the older Maybank got out first before anyone else, "Hell of a job melting it down, Dr. Frankenstein's." He said to his brother and Kiara.

"As if you could've done a better job, bro," Nate said to his brother as he got out of the van, with everyone else.

"I could have done much better. I took a wielding class." JJ said to them.

"Well why didn't you?" Nate grinned at his brother as he crossed his arms.

JJ shoved his brothers shoulder playfully, before he got him into a headlock and started to mess up his hair. John B pushed the brothers apart, "Okay! You two stop being childish, okay?" which makes JJ and Nate look at him.

"Easy for you to say. You're not the one who has to pawn this piece of shit off." JJ said, as he raised the melted gold in his hands.

JJ passed his brother one of the melted gold, "Okay, why did we get this job anyway?" Nate asked John B as he followed his brother to the door.

"'Cause yous both are the best liars."  Pope told him as everyone followed behind the Maybank brothers.

The Pogues and Sarah enter the pawn, "Afternoon, ma'am." JJ greeted the woman as he stood next to his brother, as Nate held the door for Kiara.

"Afternoon," the woman replied as she looked at the group in front of her.

"I see you buy gold." JJ asked as he and Nate approached the counter, as Kiara and Pope stood behind them.

"That's what the sign say, don't it?" the woman responded.

"Well, we sure hope you buy a lot of it, because we're about to blow your mind." Nate told her as he took JJ's backpack on him, as he placed it on the counter.

"I ain't got much mind left to blow, so have at it," the woman told the brothers.

Nate placed the gold on top of the counter, "How about them gold apples?" JJ said as he rest his arm on his brothers shoulder.

The woman chuckled as she looked at the gold then at the brothers, "That ain't real." she told them.

"That ain't real?" JJ asked her as he looked at his brother.

"It can't be." the pawnbroker, laughed again.

"Feel how heavy it is," Nate told her, as the pawnbroker started to look at it.

Both Nate and JJ hummed, as the woman picked it up and held it into her hands. "Let's get some light on that." JJ says.

"Spray-painted tungsten." the pawnbroker said to them, as she turned over the gold.

"Spray-prainted tungsten? Really? Okay."

JJ had his arms crossed, as Nate looked over at John B.

While JJ and Nate continued to negated to the pawnbroker of the gold, after they told the woman that their mother had Alzheimer's. "We're gonna need that in large denominations, please." the older Maybank tells the woman.

"Well, here's the snag. I don't have that much denominated, not here anyway. I can write you a cashier's check." She told him.

"Cash... no, ma'am. We want the cold hard. That's what that sign says. Cash for gold. And that's what we expect." Nate spoken up as he looked at the woman, he pointed at the sign, "and we're gonna get it in cold hard." He continued.

"Well, I have to send you both to the warehouse. I have the money there. Is that alright?" the woman asked them as she paused.

"Where's this warehouse?" JJ asked her, as the woman gave the brothers directions on where the warehouse was.

--------

On the way to the warehouse, "So they keep money out here?" Pope asked the brothers.

"That's what she said." Nate said as JJ chuckled.

"That's what she said," JJ repeated his brothers words, as they chuckled a laughed before Pope shot them down.

"I've never even heard of Resurrection Drive." Sarah said as she looked back at the three boys and Kiara.

"That's 'cause you're rich." JJ told the Cameron girl.

"You've never heard of it either." Kiara told the older Maybank, as she comes to Sarah's defense.

Sarah thanked the Carrera girl, "There's nothing but weeds back here." Kie said when she looked out the window, which was on Nate's side of the window.

"All right, just 'cause it's just weeds, doesn't mean it's, like..." JJ paused, as a siren was heard from behind them.

"Cops? Out here?" Nate questioned, as he, Pope and Kiara looked behind them, to see the cop behind them.

"God! Are you kidding me?" JJ exclaimed.

Sarah looked back. "What did we do?" She asked.

"Why are we getting pulled over?" Pope asked as John B pulled and parked on the side of the road.

The Routledge boy turned back to the Maybank brothers, "Stash that," he told them.

JJ looked at John B. "I hate cops." He says, as Nate nodded in agreement with his brother.

"Did you bring the gun?" John B asked the older Maybank.

JJ shook his head. "Everybody told me to leave it back at the place." He says as he watched Nate wrapping up the gold in his hands.

Kiara said . "Thank God."

"Okay..." Pope says.

Kiara looked around the van. "Please, everything else in your bag." She says as Pope rushed the brothers.

"We are, we are alright?" JJ said as Pope got down and helped them.

"How much weed do you have on you, guys?" Kiara asked the brother.

JJ stood up and hides his backpack and the gold inside the chair, before a gun clocked at John B's head.  "Why don't I just go ahead and see them hands up in the air right now?" the man asked as he aimed the shotgun at John B's head.  "All ya'll's hands up in the air now!" The man shouted, as the pogues and Sarah raised their hands.

"You, out of the car! Let's go!"

While the man watched, John B get out of the van, Kiara was pressed up against Nate, as she held his forearm. "Let them out! What are you waitin' on? What are you waitin' on? Let them out!" He shouted at John B.

"All ya'll! Go on! Go on! Let's get out the car! Let's go!" He shouted and Sarah got out first, raising her hands. "There you go, pretty girl. Here we go! Get out of the car, let's go! Hurry up!" He shouted at the others, "All ya'll! Go on! Go on! Let's get out the car! Let's go!" He shouted and Sarah got out first, raising her hands. "There you go, pretty girl. Here we go! Get out of the car, let's go! Hurry up!" He shouted at the three boys and Kiara got out, Nate stepped towards him as he was trying to reason with him, but the man raised his gun to him,

"Shut the hell up!" He shouted at the younger Maybank.

"All right! Just relax!" Nate yelled back at him, as Kiara pulled him by his arm, as she pulled him away.

"Lay down in the ditch! Lay down in the ditch! On your goddamn hands and knees! Down! Put your face on the ground!" the man shouted at the group, which they did what he told them to.

"Don't let me see you look up! Alright? That's all ya'll gotta do." He walks to the van and got inside, and looked around.

"It's a set-up, guys." Kiara says as she was next to Nate.

"That old bat shanked us." JJ says as he began to hit the ground.

Nate watched as the Routhledge boy slowly got up and backed away. "John B, don't be a hero, man." Pope said, shaking his head but John B shushed him. Nate glanced down at Kiara who's was looking back at him. They stared at each other, before he grabbed her hand, the girl had interlocked their hands.

While the man got out of the van, Alright, ya'll just stay like that. Unless you want your brains blown out all over this road, don't move your goddamn heads, okay?" He raised his voice, before he headed over to his car.

They see John B attack the man in the chair, as he grabbed the shotgun off him, "Guys, I got the gun!" He told his friends, as Nate and JJ both run over to the car, Nate attacks the man from behind as JJ helped his brother. Then Kiara, Pope and Sarah took a turn to attack the man in front of them.

"I got the gold!" Pope shouted.

Nate kicked the man up against the car, as he takes off the man's mask, "Guys, we know this piece of shit! He's a basehead!" he told them.

"He probably knows my brother," Sarah said as she looked at Barry.

"He sells coke to our dad," JJ added.

"Listen, I couldn't hurt any single one of y'all--" Barry gets cut of as Nate had hit him with his shotgun.

"Nate!" Kiara exclaimed, as Pope and John B held him back as JJ stared at Barry with a glare.

"Bro, chill, okay?" JJ told his brother, who nodded.

JJ then leaned down, taking out Barry's wallet. He takes his I.D from it as he looked at the address on it, before Nate took it from him as he looked at it. "We got one last stop. Let's go see where this son of a bitch lives." the younger Maybank said as he brushed past Kiara and Sarah as he ignored her the Carrera as she called his name.

Nate and JJ get in the front of the twinkie, as they headed to Barry's address.  "Welcome to Crackhead Wasteland." Sarah says.

"I don't know about this, guys." Pope says worriedly as Nate parked the van, before getting out of the van with his brother.

"Dude, why are we at Barry's?" John B looked at the brothers.

"This'll only take a second." Nate told him, as he and JJ headed towards the front door.

"Where are you guys going?" John B asked them.

"Yo soy justicia." JJ replied.

Pope looked at John B. "Did you glean anything from that?" He asked him.

"You should probably--" Kiara said to John B, as he nodded his head as he got out of the van.

"Yeah, I got it." He said as he headed inside to get JJ and Nate.

The Maybank brothers find Barry's secret stash of cash, Nate ignored John B's calls as he walked outside as John B looked at JJ.

"Okay. so we're looking at five grand each," Nate said as he got out of the house, as Kiara, Sarah and Pope was now out of the van. "for reparations for putting us through that bullshit. Sorry about that, y'all." Nate said as he walked past Kiara, as she looked at her, worriedly.

"So that's what we're doing now? We're robbing drug dealers?" Kiara asked, as she turned as she glanced at everyone.

"This Barry guy's gonna find out. And he's gonna come after us." Sarah says.

"Yes, he will, okay. This is not the time to start wilin' out." Pope said, as JJ stepped to him.

"How'd you like havin' a gun pulled on you?" He asked

"Relax." John B walked over to the brothers.

"He had it right here on you, bro." Nate pointed at John B's head.

"Look. We've gotta get the gold, okay? Just give me that shit." John B said as he reached to the bag. "We're putting it back." He tells the younger Maybank but Nate shoved him against the van, roughly.

"Okay, bro." JJ says, as he went over to his brother.

"Do you feel like a tough guy? Huh?" John B asked Nate. "What are you gonna do when he comes for us?" He asked him again.

"We punch him in the throat." Nate responded, as he looked at John B.

"Yeah, good fuckin' idea, Nate." John B says to the younger Maybank.

"Look, I'm not putting it back, okay?" Nate said as he grabs the bag off John B,  before he got inside the van. "You guys getting in or what?" He asked his friends and brother, but they stayed where they were and said nothing to him.

Nate got back out, as he turned to his friends and brother, "What?" he asked them.

"We're sick of your shit." John B says to him.

"Oh, my shit?" Nate pointed to himself.

The Routledge boy nodded. "Yeah. Yeah. Your shit." He told him.

Kiara looked over at Nate along with JJ. "Nate, please." she pleaded with him, as she tried to grab his arm, but he moved away from her.

"Nate your acting like a maniac--" Pope started before Nate cut him off.

"Okay, Pope, I took the fall for you, man!" Nate raised his voice, as he looked at Pope. "Know how much money I owe because of you?" He asked the Heyward boy.

"I'm gonna pay you back and I didn't even ask you to do that!" Pope got into Nate's face.

"I just did! Pay it back." Nate stepped closer to him, before JJ got in between them, "Right here, right now, with my brother," Nate said to him, before he shoved his brothers hands off him, before he glanced around. "You know, I'm gonna do this by myself." Nate said as he grabbed the money, and walked away from his brother and friends.

"Bro.." JJ stepped forward, before John B stopped him, "Let him cool down, okay?"

-------

Later that night JJ, Pope and Kiara pulled into the Château. "So we gotta be done before my scholarship interview in the morning." Pope told them. "Ok, well we better focus." Kie responded. "Hey, don't stress, we'll be fine." JJ said, reassuringly.

"Ok, so we got John B and Nate in the well, and me and JJ up top. And you and Sarah will be outside transporting." Pope recounted the plan to them, as they got out of the truck.

"Yeah, we got this." Kie said.

"Cool."

"Ok, so, I got a wench." Pope told them. "This tin, can hold like, 200, 300 pounds"

"Thanks." Kie told him, earning confused looks from the boys.

"For what?" JJ asked her.

"Stranding us. Y'know, making us make up." She said.

"That was mainly John B, you ain't gotta-" JJ was cut off by the sound of lights turning on around them. The trees surrounding them were covered in bright spots.

"What the hell?" Pope questioned.

"Who the hell is that." Kie asked, annoyed.

The three started walking towards the source of the power. They heard the popping of a cork as they approached it. They came to a stop when they saw Nate. He was sat in a huge hot tub, surrounded by floaties and plastic glasses.

"Cool." JJ let out.

"What did you do, Nate?" Pope asked him.

"I got a jet going straight up you know where, right now." He said, through a drunken laugh. "Y'all, should get in, right now. Ok, right now, you hear me? Salute!" He shouted, raising a glass of champagne

"How much did this cost?" Pope questioned him, very unhappy.

"Uhh. Well, with the generator, and the petrol, and the drink and, oh, express delivery. " He laughed, then took a breath. "Pretty much all of it. Yeah."

"All of it?" Pope asked him.

"Yep."

"You spent all the money in one day?" Pope continued his questions. Kie looked around, not believing what she was seeing.

"Yeah, burned a hole right through my pocket. But I mean guys, come on." He said, raising his arms to show it off. "Look at this! Finest in jet based massage therapy, that's what they told me."

Kie looked at him, as if he was the dumbest person alive.

"Kie, what? Can't a man have a little luxury in life?" He asked them. "Come on, all this scrimping and scraping." He stopped, looking upset. "Guys, y-you only live once, right? Enough of this emotional shit, come on, get in the 'Cat's Ass'." He told them, sitting back.

"In the what?" Kie asked him.

He smiled at her. "The 'Cat's Ass'. That's what I named her." JJ laughed at this, causing Pope and Kie to glare at him. He shut up after that.

"Oh, I almost forgot to show you. This-s the best part, jus' wait." He leaned over and clicked a button, causing a disco ball to turn on, as well as more jets of water and lights. "Huh? Yeah, I know, it's cool. Disco mode. That's right!" He said, sitting back in his comfortable position.

"Are you kidding me? You could've paid for restitution!" Pope shouted at him.

"Or literally given it to any charity!" Kie followed up, just as loud. Nate began to run a hand down his face as they yelled at him.

"I mean, you could've paid off restitution, bro. Or bought stuff for the gold." JJ told him, without yelling.

Nate got annoyed at this. "Okay, well you know what? I didn't do that!" He shouted back, finally standing up. Doing this revealed the bruises he had sustained from his father. There was patches of red all over his torso. The group in front of him stared at his bare chest, shocked.

"I got a hot tub. For my friends." Kie started to tear up. She never thought she'd see him like this, and it broke her heart. "I got a hot tub for my friends. No, you know what, screw friends, I got a hot tub for my family." He told them.

"Nate?" JJ began to ask.

"Nate what the he-" Kie started before she got cut off.

"I did this for you guys. Look what I did." He said, turning around, showing even more bruises.

"Look at this!" He shouted.

Kie was now sobbing, her tears drenching her face. "Nate?" She managed to say.

JJ was furious, he had a very good idea of what happened. "Nate, did Luke do this!?" He asked him, angrily.

"No, just stop being emotional or angry or whatever. It's fine. Okay?" Kie couldn't take it anymore. She needed to be close to him. She began climbing into the hot tub.

"I mean it's sweet right? It's so coo-" He got cut off by Kie engulfing him in a hug. She wrapped her arms tightly around his neck, while he grabbed her waist and pulled her close to him.

He started crying into her shoulder, as she was doing the same. Nate struggled to get his words out. He began coughing, as his emotions took full hold of him. "I can't take him anymore!" He shouted. Hearing this confirmed JJ's suspicions, and he was angry beyond belief. But, for right now, he needed to comfort his brother. "I can't take him." Nate said, barely audible.

JJ started to get into the hot tub too, followed by Pope. The two joined in on the hug, holding their brother and friend tight to them. "I just want to do the right thing, for once." He said, through his tears.

"I know, I know." Kie told him, while rubbing her hands up and down his back, attempting to comfort him, and she was doing more for him than she'd ever know.

———-

Nate had decided to stay at the Château. He just couldn't bring himself to go anywhere else after what happened earlier. He was currently trying to get an ice pack to reach around to the bruises on his back, and failing.

"Come on! You piece of shit." His hand couldn't reach around to place it on the bruise in the middle of his back.

"You need some help?"

He heard a voice behind him. A voice he had grown to really enjoy hearing.

He turned around to face Kiara. He looked back down. "What're you doing here?" He asked her.

"Do you not... want me here?" Kiara asked, looking slightly upset.

Nate looked back up at her. "No, no it's not that. I'm just surprised. I thought you'd gone home." He told her, trying to not make her upset.

"I wanted to see how you were." Kiara told him honestly.

Nate looked back down. "I'm fine."

Kiara looked at what he was doing, struggling to hold and ice pack. "Clearly."

Nate didn't want to do this right now. "Look, Kie, you got your answer." Nate snapped, before going back to putting the ice on him.

Kiara was upset he snapped at her, but she wasn't holding it against him. "Here, let me help you." She began to walk over to him.

"Kie. I'm fine." Nate told her.

She didn't stop coming over to him until she was stood in front of him. "Give me it." She stuck out her hand. He sighed, but gave it to her. She pointed to a the couch. "Sit." She told him.

They sat down on the couch, Nate's back facing her. She began holding the ice pack on his back, against the bruises. He winced slightly at the sensation. "Sorry." She told him.

"You're fine." He said back to her.

The two sat in silence for a few minutes, until Nate broke it. "I'm sorry." Kie was confused. 'Why was he sorry?' She thought to herself.

"For what?" She asked him.

"For wasting the money. I should have given it to you guys. You'd have done something better with it." She let out a breath after he said that.

"I mean, it was stupid." He nodded. "But you had good intentions. You don't need to apologize." He turned around to face her, and smiled, she returned it.

The two looked into each others eyes. They subconsciously began leaning in. This time there was nothing to interrupt them. Their lips came together in a passionate kiss. They stayed that way for a few seconds before they pulled apart.

They opened their eyes, the pairs locking together. They looked into each others, seeing nothing but lust and want. Their lips reattached.

The two deepened the kiss. Kie's hands began playing with Nate's hair, as his hands traveled to her waist. He pulled her onto his lap, the kiss never breaking. They began grinding against each other, Kie feeling his hard shaft rubbing off her.

Nate's hands traveled to her shirt, slightly lifting it up. She knew what he was attempting to do, and she let him. They broke the kiss and Nate lifted her shirt over her head. The two stared at each other, as Kie's petite breasts were now showing. She brought an arm up to cover them, slightly insecure.

He picked up on this and took a hold of her arm, before pushing it away. "Kie, you're beautiful." She blushed at this. The two came together again in another passionate kiss. Kie's hands moving down to his trunks, before beginning to pull them down. He lifted his waist to allow them to come off.

They broke apart, yet again, this time it was Kie's turn to look, and he did not disappoint. She bit her bottom lip in anticipation. Kie abruptly stood up and turned around. Her hands then hooked around the waist of her shorts, and pulled them down, revealing her smooth ass to Nate.

She turned around and smirked at Nate, a newfound confidence developing in her. She knelt in front of Nate and took hold of his member, before bringing her lips to his tip, giving it a quick peck. She stuck her tongue out and ran it from the base to the tip.
She then adjusted her head and began to bob her head up and down, sucking him off.

"Fuck..." Nate let out, the feeling of Kie's mouth and tongue on him bringing an immeasurable amount of pleasure to him.
Nate's hand reached out and took a slight hold of her hair. She got the message and let her head go lax. He felt this and began to thrust. A sound of gagging coming from the brunette girl beneath him.

After a while of this, she tapped him on the leg, informing him to let her up.
She took her head away and began to breathe heavily, all the while still smirking. He took her hand and let her sit on the couch, the two switching positions. Nate began to kiss the inside of her thighs, teasing her.

Kie never thought this would bring her as much pleasure as it did, but she knew she could get more. "Nate, stop teasing me." She pleaded to him.

Hearing the desperation in her voice, he gave her what she wanted. He gave one long lick to her core, before settling on her clit. Jabbing it with his tongue. "Oh.. my god." She let out, feeling incredible. He stuck a finger into her, feeling just how wet she was. He started to move it around. "Ohh, fuck!" Kie screamed out, as Nate stuck another finger in.

This continued for a few minutes, before Kie felt herself getting close. "Nate, fuck, I'm close." She told him, he nodded in response. He continued to lick and finger until she started to shake. She had reached her high, and her juices were now coating Nate's lips and tongue.

He slowed down his movements, allowing her to come down from it. The two locked eyes.

"Nate?" She asked.

"Yeah." He responded.

"Please." She said, closing her eyes.

"Please what, Kie?" He asked her, smiling.

She looked down at him. "Fuck me."

He stood up, at this statement. He lined himself up with her entrance. "Wait!? Do you have a condom?" She asked him.

Nate knew he had forgotten something.
He shook his head at her, disappointed.

She nodded. "It's okay, just tell me when you're close."

He looked back at her eyes, and smiled. He lowered himself down to her as the two began making out. Their tongue's fighting for dominance.

Nate's won. The two came apart after a minute. "Nate, put it in me." She told him.
He lined himself up again, before pushing in. Kie was incredibly tight. "Fuck! Go slow, please." She told him, he nodded in response.
He slowly eased himself into her, eventually bottoming out inside her.

He pulled back out, before gathering a rhythm with his thrusts.
"Ohh, fuck... Nate, go a bit faster."

He picked up the pace. Eventually beginning to pound into her. The slaps of flesh resounding in the room. Nate lifted a hand up before placing it on her jiggling breast. He thought he may have overstepped so he took his hand away, before being grabbed by her and having it placed back.

Nate felt Kiara's walls clench, signaling that she was close, once again. He continued at the fast pace he had set, until he heard her moan. "Mmm! Oh fuck, Nate. I'm cumming!" He felt a gush of juice on his member. He slowed down, allowing her to ride it out.

"Nate. Sit down."He pulled out of her and sat down on the couch. Kie straddled his lap before reaching down to grab his shaft. She jerked it a few times, then put it back inside her. She began to grind her hips against his waist.

"Fuck, you're amazing, Kie." He told her. She blushed at this comment. She began to lift her hips and slam back down against his. Constantly going up and back down. Nate took hold of her waist to control how fast she was moving.

He lifted her up and placed her back down, over and over. He eventually moved his hands down to her ass, and began squeezing it, forcing Kie to enter a new realm of pleasure.
Nate felt himself near his orgasm, so he told her. "Kie?"

She hummed in response. "I'm close." She looked back into his eyes, and nodded. She lifted herself up so he slipped out of her, and she began to jerk him off. The feeling of her soft hands forced him to finish.

He let his load out, shooting it onto her ass and lower back. He stopped after a few seconds. The two looked back at each other. Closing the distance, they kissed again, passionately.
Kie stood up to clean herself up in the bathroom.

Nate began to take the pullout bed out, having no intention of leaving. Kie returned, cleaned up."We staying here?" She asked him.

He looked back, still in awe at her naked form.
"Ehm, o-only if you want to." He told her, honestly.

"Am I making you nervous?" She asked, smirking at him.

"N-no. Just asked a question." He stuttered yet again. She laughed at the lack of his usual composure, before walking over and settling herself in the sofa-bed. She looked back over her shoulder and nodded towards his side of the bed.

Nate understood what she meant and grabbed a blanket. He joined her on the bed and placed the cover over them. She turned to look at him before wrapping her arm around his chest, and then placing her head on his chest. He stuck an arm around her back, squeezing her tightly to him."Goodnight, Nate."

He looked down at her, internally questioning if this was the correct way of doing things. "'Night, Kie."
