"You got rope?" John B asks as Pope marks things.

"Got it."

"Grappling hook?"

"No grappling hook. We're not Batman."

"Pulley?"

"Check."

"Dark clothes?"

"Got it."

"Flashlights?"

"Check."

"All right, good." John B says as we are now at the Crain house. "We're ready."

"Let's go get rich, guys." JJ says.

"Yeah. Hell, yeah." Kie and Sarah say.

"Go, boys." Sarah says.

"And girls." Kie adds

"Wait, wait" John B says stopping us from getting out of the van. "I wanna say thank you, guys. Seriously. It means a lot to me that you're here tonight."

"Always." Kie says.

"Of course, man." Pope says.

"My man." John B says as they do their hand shake.

"All right, we done with the circle jerk? Can we go do this?" JJ says ruing the moment.

"Seriously?" I say to JJ.

"Yeah." They say as they get out of the car.

"Let's get that wheat in the water." Pope says.

"Weed? I'm up for weed." JJ says smirking.

"Wheat. I said wheat." Pope elaborates.

Sarah climbs over the fence the Kie, then Pope, then John B.

"I'm sorry." JJ whispers to me as he grabs my hand making it so I couldn't climb,

"I'm sorry to." I say to him.

"Friends?" He asks.

"Friends." I say as I smile at him. I then go over the fence JJ following after me. That word hurt to say. We all walk as her motion sensor lights turn on. JJ grabs my hand and pulls me down.

"Go, go, go, go." And "shit,shit, shit, shit." Was being said by the whole group.

"Flashlights!" Kie says as we all turn off our flashlights quickly.

"It's on strobe!" JJ says trying to turn it off. I quickly take it from him and turn it off.

"Thanks." He whispers.

"No problem."

"Okay, so she has motion sensor lights." Pope says as we all look at eachother in a circle.

"We could, uh... move really slowly, maybe?" JJ suggests.

"What?" Sarah says.

"That's not how it works." Pope says.

"You joking?" I ask him.

"Oh, shit. Let's throw a rock at it." John B says.

"What?" Pope says.

"That's a really good idea. Let the axe murderer know that we're here." Kie says.

"That's even stupider than JJs." I say annoyed.

"Throw a rock at it?" Pope says also annoyed.

"You have a better idea?" John B asks.

"Literally anything but that." Kie tells him.
