The sun had completely fallen, and the moon assumed its position; the breeze was becoming colder. Dawn trembled slightly as she attempted to position herself near the fire. Her partner was engaging in conversation with other eccentrics while they cast disdainful glances at the outcasts.

Sarah walked away and JJ followed her, drink in hand, as she staggered through the beach. Dawn sensed an ominous feeling emerging within her, which she found unsettling. "What is that thing doing with your girlfriend?" Tait remarked while gazing at Topper.

"Sarah, can I interest you in a tasty Milwaukee beverage?" JJ faltered in his speech as he approached her.

"No, thanks." Sarah responded courteously while attempting to distance herself from him, as Topper and Tait advanced towards the blonde Pogue.

"My friend told you no, so why don't you return to your rundown of a house?" Tait says, gently pushing the boy with blonde hair aside. His belligerence made Dawn roll her eyes.

"Tait, please don't." Dawn audibly murmured, intending alone for him to perceive. She anticipated that the situation would intensify, and she wished to prevent him from striking the pogues.

"Is it not fancy enough for you?"JJ inquired, deriding the pain in his voice as he approached the blonde girl.

"No...We were just leaving." Sarah exclaimed while grasping Dawn's hand as they ascended towards the beach.

Topper then interrupted their conversation while Tait positioned himself behind JJ, clearly prepared to engage in more than mere dialogue with the child. "Hey, you know what? I'll take it."

"Where exactly is our drink, Dirty Pogue?" Tait inquires.

"Please, everyone, just give him a break. Let's go." When Dawn reached out to hold Tait's hand, he brushed her off, and she became irritated with him.

"That's nice." JJ disregarded the two individuals, evidently they were provoking him, and his inebriated condition was inciting his annoyance. "If you said pretty please, maybe, but you didn't."

"Oh, pretty please." Topper mocked.

"I harbour animosity towards men." Dawn muttered while observing Topper discard the drink onto the ground and Tait shove JJ. She glanced over to observe JJ's companion completely focused on the boy.

After Topper blurted out "Dirty Pogue. Everything escalated rapidly. Dawn saw Tait behind John B. and hurried forwards, despite Sarah's clear attempts to dissuade them from fighting. "No Tait, wait." She issued a cautioned towards him.

"Shut up, Dawn." Just as he was about to turn to put John B. into a headlock, he made the statement. "Pogues should be made to understand that they are nothing more than filth." Everyone began yelling at Topper and Tait as they dragged John B into the sea.

"Hey, John B, don't make me drown you like your old man, all right?" John B. escaped Tait's headlock and shoved Topper into the sea after he threatened to do so.

"Give it to him! John B, let it go!" Behind her, Dawn overheard someone yell to him.

"Stop, you guys!" A girl with curly hair ran towards, screaming at them.

The altercation persisted, and Dawn's anxiety grew. Attaining violent acts was something she consistently disliked. While she stood by, Tait subdued John B. and lowered his head into the water. Even though John B was fighting for his life, Topper persisted in pounding him in the face.

As soon as JJ Maybank stepped over Topper, the entire beach fell silent at the sound of a gun click. Upon seeing the gun, Dawn's heart froze. It's highly unlikely that JJ would go completely bonkers and use the weapon on anyone.

"Yeah, you know what that is...Your move, broski." The tone of JJ's speech was poisonous. Sarah, who appeared as if she were going to faint from the stress of it all, was Dawn's first focus. The audience began to recede as JJ pivoted to face them all.

"Put the gun down!" Sarah yelled out with panic.

"Did you say somethin', princess?"Nearing Topper's head, JJ drew the gun closer and shouted.

"We're good. We're good. Put the gun down!" As soon as Topper told Tait to let John B free, he got to his feet and walked over to Dawn. She pulled away from him just a little bit. Refusing his advances

JJ spun around and shouted at everyone while pointing the rifle skyward. "Okay, everyone, listen up! Get the hell off our side of the island!" In an effort to escape the insane pogue, everyone took off running in various directions. Dawn watched the youngster who was still in the water. Tait had her hand on her before she could even think of leaving to assist him.

"Dawn, let's go." With the girl hauled away from the scene, Tait gave the command. As Sarah double-checked her boyfriend, her and Topper trailed after.

As they quarrelled, she couldn't help but glance back and see the pogues attempting to assist their comrades. Despite her desire to assist them, she was unable to do so. It was the kooks' fault.
