The rain is coming down hard as the group of friends runs through the alley to get a clear shot of Ward who is sitting in his truck across from the surf shop.
Pope has a camera that looks like it is from the 90s.
"Nice camera. Where'd you dig up that relic?" JJ asks sarcastically.
"First of all, I love my antique electronics. And second of all, this is a telephoto camera. It allows me to get a close image from far away." Pope informs them.
"That's actually a pretty good idea Pope. That will come in handy." Jo compliments.
"More like the land of the dorks." Kie teases.
Jo laughs.
"He may be lord of the dorks, but that dork is getting us the witness proof that we need." Jo defends.
"Shit there he is get down." JJ interrupts.
They duck down as Ward runs across the street with a duffel bag.
Pope raises up slowly so he can video record.
"There goes Gavin."
They watch as Ward and Gavin both run into the building.
"Shit! I'm losing him." Pope tells them in frustration.
"Hold on."
JJ jumps down and looks around.
Jo looks around, but it is hard to see when it is pouring down rain.
"Hey!" JJ whispers loudly to them.
"I found something come on."
The group follows JJ up a ladder onto a roof.
They are across the street from where Ward and Gavin are meeting.
The rain is still pouring and Jo can't really see anything.
JJ grabs a spare hat from his backpack and places it on her head.
"Do you see anything?" Kie asks Pope who is looking through the lens of the camera.
"Yea I see them both right now." Pope informs them.
"Ward just handed Gavin something. I think it's that duffel bag." Pope tells them.
Jo and JJ share a look.
"I think this is a payoff, you guys." JJ comments.
"Gavin doesn't look happy about something." Pope informs them.
"It looks like he's yelling at Ward." Pope states.
"Why?" Jo asks.
"I have no idea, but he sure looks mad." Pope says.
Jo glances up and sees quick movement coming from where Gavin and Ward are.
"Whoa!" Pope exclaims.
"What's going on?" Kie asks.
"They're fighting." Pope says.
"They're really going at it." JJ comments.
"Ward is kicking the shit out of Gavin." Pope informs.
"Why are they fighting?" JJ asks.
"I don't know." Pope answers.
"What is going on?" Kie asks.
"I'm trying to see." Pope states.
"Holy shit Ward has a gun." Pope states.
"I bet you that's the murder weapon." Jo says wiping the rain from her face.
