The Shooting
20:18, 19 August 2021(A/N: hereeee we go pals :3)
Y/N helped Sarah down from the back of the truck and hugged her, "You beautiful genius!""Sarah Cameron I have never loved you more." John B ran over to hug her too, smiling. Y/N released Sarah and she walked away from John B and into a 24 hour, funny looking "cafe". "You straight up sprayed some dudes in the face with bug spray it wa-"John B was cut off suddenly when Sarah shoved him, hard. "You lied to me!" She shouted.He span quickly to look at her, "What are you talking about? We're fine?""No we are NOT fine!" he shouted back."Hey whoa whoa whoa." Y/N stood between them, "What happened.""He is the reason we lost the ONLY money we had. And ANY chance of getting the gold back because he SNUCK OUT in the middle of the night to go to Bay line. Leaving me completely alone! It was by luck that you were there and I wasn't hurt! John B you almost got us all caught if not SHOT. How is that okay!?" Sarah looked furiously at the dumbfounded John B."Okay wow uhh.." Y/N looked around to see some couples at the cafe staring at them. "Maybe we keep it down a bit-""Okay look I am, proactively admitting that I screwed up and I am willing to work on it and I-"Sarah spoke over him, saying that "Proactively admitting doesn't mean anything! I have lost my father. My mother. My brother. My sister. My home. My friends..." she sniffed, "I can't lose you too."John B nodded slowly and sighed, "Yeah.. yeah you're right. I'm sorry it won't happen again.""I'm calling the shots now.""Oh Sarah Cameron, Large and in charge." Y/N grinned from the bonnet of the truck."And to start. I'm driving." And she walked off, leaving John B staring straight forwards just able to say "Okay.""Uh Sarah-" Y/N slid off the bonnet and stood next to her.Sarah doubled back after looking in the car, "I can't drive stick."John B nodded and got into the back, Sarah sitting with Y/N upfront.
Thunder rumbled in the distance back in North Carolina. Ward was fuming in his car, fists clenched. Over the face, three faces emerged. JJ, Pope and Kie. Pope pushed the lens of an old camera over the fence too. Pointed straight at a small construction site. JJ started at it, "Nice camera, where'd you dig up that old relic." He said over the pouring rain. "Why don't you just use your phone?"Pope looked over to him, "Well first of all, I like my antique electronics. Second of all this is a telephoto. It allows me to get a close image from far away.""And the lord of the dorks just, carries that around with him?" Kie rolled her eyes and smiled."Look for definitive proof of witness payoff, we're gunna need quality glass.""What would we do without you dork-lord." JJ patted his shoulder. "Oh shit there he is. Pope started rolling. Ward ran down the dark streets in the rain, holding a duffle bag."Shit get down." JJ ducked and pushed the other two down with him.Pope's eyes peeked out from over the fence, "And there's Gavin." he announced as the old pilot jogged towards Ward. The pair of them slipped into an abandoned looking building. "Where are you going you son of a bitch." hissed Pope. "No no no! I've lost them."Kie and JJ poked up from the fence as Pope panicked, "Shit. Where's he going." JJ looked around and Kie watched him as he stared backwards. "Hang on." He said as he jumped down from the fence. Kie and Pope kept looking forwards until JJ whistled at them from a doorway, "Hey yo, I found something." The pair followed him. "We gotta go up top!" He pointed to the rooftop opposing the exposed build-site. They clambered up a ladder onto the slippery rooftop."Hurry." Kie said from below, "Don't wanna miss anything."They ran over to the roof's edge and ducked down. Their faces glowed blue from the bright neon sign opposite."You rolling Pope?" JJ asked.Kie looked over, "Yeah you getting this?""Yeah." Pope looked serious. "Yeah I see them."Two ominous silhouettes slipped around the build-site, passing in-between wooden beams and tarps. Ward threw the duffle bag onto the floor. "Here's your money."Gavin looked from Ward to the bag, and quickly walked over to the sack of cash.
Pope looked from the rooftop, "Ward just handed Gavin something, I think it's a duffle bag."JJ started at them through the sheet of rain in front of his eyes, "Guys I think this is a payoff."
Gavin rifled through the duffle bag and looked at the stacks of cash. "It's not all there." Ward admitted. Gavin stared at him."It's all I could get right now, all right? It's what I had. I got some at the bank but if I take anymore it'll trigger their alarms and you don't want that."Gavin massaged the bridge of his nose and stood up to face Ward.
"Gavin doesn't look happy about something. I think he's yelling at Ward." Commented Pope.Kie whispered, "why?""I don't know," He replied, "But he sure looks mad."
"I knew this would happen!" Gavin shouted."Nothing is happening." Ward said calmly. "I got you the money now, just, give me the gun. Let's go." He advanced towards Gavin."You're not getting the gun. The called my home. They're onto you Ward I don't wanna be in on this! I don't wanna go to jail!""You're not going to jail all right." Ward whispered menacingly, "Not give me the gun." "You gotta pay me Ward. It's my lifeboat. I'm not giving it to you until you pay me.""Give me. The god damn gun." Ward said calmly and threateningly."You're not getting-" Gavin looked afraid."I'm standing here, in the GOD DAMN RAIN I GAVE YOU the FUCKING. MONEY. Now GIVE ME-""YOU'RE NOT GETTING IT."The two men gave up talking, and Ward tackled Gavin. They were locked in a wrestle on the slippery wood floor.
"Shit." Pope huskily croacked.This caught JJ's attention, "Oh whoa..." "What's going on?" Kie asked."I-I dunno, they're fighting over something." "They're really going at it." JJ commented.
Gavin punched Ward hard in the gut and made him grunt and grimace. In return Ward spun Gavin around until his back was to one of the half-built walls, and he kneed him in the groin. This made him release his grip and he began kicking him over and over.
"Ward's kicking the shit out of Gavin.""Why are they fighting" JJ asked Pope."I don't know!" Pope said, annoyed at being the same question again.Kie called out, "What's going on?""I'm trying to see!"
Gavin had grabbed Ward's face and threw him as hard as he could, however Wad stole this momentum and spun him, tossing Gavin into a work-bench opposite, smacking the back of his skull. Just like Big John, the back of Gavin's head started to bleed. It mixed with the rain water below and made a watery scarlet puddle. "Oh my god!" Gavin moaned. Ward noticed the gun in the back of Gavin's trousers, and ran forwards to snatch it. Gavin was crying, curled up on the floor, when Ward grabbed his head and yanked it up, pressing it against Gavin's head.
"Holy shit." Pope said from the opposite rooftop. "Ward's got a gun."Kie gasped, "I bet that's the murder weapon!"
"Stop crying." Ward rubbed his face, "You're fine. You're FINE! Stop crying and listen to me." He lied to himself. Gavin sat up. Trying to stifle his sobs. "You got your money. I got the gun. Go home, and you shut your mouth.""I'm not going to jail Ward." Gavin wept."Shut up. Shut up Gavin and go home." Ward washed the rain from his face and sighed, beginning to walk away."Rafe killed a cop!" Gavin shouted after him. "I'm not going to jail for you and your psychopath son!"Ward, paused.He thought.He turned.He shot Gavin square in the chest. Once. Twice. He shot to kill
Pope and Kie gasped, the three of the all ducked behind the roof's little wall."Oh my god. Oh my god." Pope panicked."What the hell." breathed JJ.Kie whimpered behind the wall, "No, no, no, no, that did not just happen. What is going on..""Tell me you got all that." JJ asked Pope."Enough to put that asshole away for life."
Gavin looked down at his stomach, his head bleeding into his eyes, aided by the rain. "You son of a bitch!" He ran at Ward who held him in his tackle. The gun fired again, hitting no one. Gavin knocked it from Ward's hands and his foot kicked it into the running stream of rain water on the street below. Gavin's last moments were spent trying to give Ward the punishment he deserved. Ward pressed his hand into Gavin's neck to find his pulse. Nothing. Ward hit the ground and screamed. "DAMN IT!" he yelled. Pulling the hair back from his head and looking around wit anxiety. He reclaimed his money.
The three Pogues started at him, almost visible in the blue lights. Ward stepped over to the hole in the wall and looked down to make sure the gun was gone. He then looked up- his eye's meeting with Kie's."Shit get down." Pope said, the three of them ducking quickly."Holy shit." Kie squealed.JJ could feel his heart in his mouth, "I think we should go. Now. Pope you have enough right?""Yeah. Hold on, he's coming out. There he goes." The pogues watched Ward scurry along the road. "I think he's looking for the gun."
Ward jogged down the flooding street, searching for the gun. He watched it float along and sprinted after it. He heard a sudden clink of metal. The gun had gotten caught in a grate, a grate with a hole in it."No!" He shouted. "No!" Ward threw himself towards the gun, watching it slip through the grate seconds after he landed on the floor beside it. Ward hit the water, furiously. "God DAMN IT! KILLING ME!" He shouted.
"I think the gun just went down the drain." Pope said, still filming. "He's looking for it." Ward felt around with his arm down the hole in the drain."Hold this." Kie said, standing up and handing JJ her bag. she stood on he roof edge and shouted, "What is wrong with you! MURDERER!"JJ put a hand over her mouth and dragged her down. "What are you doing stop."Ward looked up from the drain and stared up, he heard Kie yelling, indistinctly in the background. This scared him. A lot. Someone was here someone SAW him. He grabbed his bag and, looking around, scampered."Kiara what are you doing?" Pope hissed, holding her down."Are you crazy!?" That was a lot coming from JJ."I don't care if he hears me he's a murderer!""Yeah and he's gunna murder us Kie!" JJ shouted.Pope stopped his filming. "Guys. He sees us.""Are you serious?" JJ breathed."Guys..." Kie said shakily."We gotta go." Pope grabbed them."Come one dude! We gotta get the hell out of here!""He's coming he's coming!"
Ward ran towards the buildings.
"Come on! Go Pope! Hurry!" JJ shouted down the ladder. "Go go go!""Come on!""I'm going!"In their hurry to escape, Kie stood right on JJ's hand. He shouted "Ah- My hand!" And felt his feet slip back on the slippery ladder rungs, kicking Pope in he face and sending him flying down with JJ on top."Sorry" Shouted Kie from the top. Pope scrambled for his telephoto, searching for it in the rain and mud. "No, no, no, no, no, no!" JJ ran over, "You kidding me, you fumbled it!?""You kicked me in the face!""Kie stood on my hand!""I was trying to hurry" They argued in the rain."Let's go." JJ looked up, hearing Ward."He's coming!"They scaled yet another fence and ran off into the night.Ward appeared seconds later, looking around but seeing nothing. He was panting and anxious.
Kie reached her car, in tears. JJ and Pope jumped in afterwards. Panting, wet and cold. They sat in silence for a moment. "Could someone fill me in... on what tHE FRICK JUST HAPPENED!?" JJ asked, shaking.Pope just groaned angrily. "Holy crap I can't believe it.""Wait, wait. What were they fighting over?" JJ asked Pope."UH... it was A- Uh A gun. The one Rafe used, he must have kept it,""Of course! Of course! The murder weapon!" JJ freaked out in the back of the car."Pick up pick up..." Kie stared at her phone, her voice raspy with fear."Who are you calling?" JJ asked."Why do you think!?"Pope looked at her phone, "The cops!?""Who else!?" she reasoned."Why would you call the cops!? That's Ward!" JJ reached through the seats."Kiara-"'Sherriff's office' Said Kiara's phone."Shut up!" She shouted at the boys. "Hello? Hi? Somebody's been shot. At theee at the grand street construction site!"While she called them, Pope stared at his broken Telephoto. "You guys need to hurry because he's dying and I don't know if he's dead or not!""We gotta go we're sitting ducks." JJ sighed."We can't stay here." Pope agreed."Please hurry up!" Kiara shouted into her phone, then hung up. "What do you want me to do!?""Just drive!" Pope shouted.The car roared to life and flew down the street in the blinding rain.
