"ISABEL, open the damn door!" Barry shouted from his room.

"Okay!" She yelled back, clearly annoyed that she had to be the one to open the door when she just got out of the shower.

She gripped onto her towel around her as her wet hair was dripping all over the place. Isabel walked over to the door and finally opened it.

She huffed in disappoint when she saw that it was rafe cameron standing in front of her. "Look who it is, my least favorite druggie."

Rafe rolled his eyes and he eyed the girls appearance, "you look like a wet dog," He told her.

"You look like a wet rat- oh wait! You always look like one." She responded back with a tight smile.

Barry came out of his room and made his way over to isabel, standing next to her before opening the door wider for rafe to come in.

"Wassup man," He clapped hands with the kook.

"You still got more coke?" Rafe asked the brunette. He walked inside and sat on the couch.

"yeah, you got my money?"

"I'm going to give it to you next week," Rafe reassured him.

Isabel rolled her eyes at the two, "You guys are unbelievable." She told them before walking inside her room and closing the door behind her.

She grabbed a pair of jean shorts and a tank top to wear for her hangout with her friends. When she got dressed, Isabel made sure to blow dry her hair for a couple of minutes so it wouldn't be soaking wet.

The brunette left her room and went inside the kitchen to pack some snacks and juices.

She glanced at the living room, seeing barry and rafe sniffing the white powder from the table. Isabel sighed and shook her head. She couldn't stand doing drugs and hated when her brother did it.

It's even worse that he's a drug dealer.

Isabel grabbed a basket and placed the fruits and chips inside before grabbing the juice boxes and placing them inside also.

She left the kitchen and grabbed the door handle to leave but her brothers voice stopped her. "Where the hell you going?"

She rolled her eyes and turned around, glaring at him, "None of your damn business."

"Isabel," He stated, waiting for her answer.

"Going out with some friends."

"You mean your dirty pogue friends?" Rafe asked her with a slight smirk.

"Yes." Isabel huffed. "Anyways, gotta go." She walked out and closed the door behind her.

"I don't know why you let her hang out with those pogues."

"Why do you care so much if she does?" Barry asked his friend, raising his eyebrows.

"I don't," He shrugged. "Just saying."

Isabel ran to the parked 'HMS POGUE' boat that was outside of her house. She stepped on the boat, JJ grabbing her hand so she won't lose her balance.

"Hey guys!" She smiled at them.

"What you got there?" John B asked her, eyeing the basket she brought with her.

"Just some fruits, chips and juice boxes."

"Did you bring the fruit punch flavor?" Pope quickly asked in excitement.

Isabel nodded her head with a big smile as Pope cheered and grabbed her basket to hold for her.

The girl sat next to JJ, him pressing a light kiss to her cheek. She laughed and had a light conversation with the pogues while they headed to Kiara's house.

"GOOD morning boys and girls," Kiara walked down to the dock and hopped on the boat. she sat down next to Isabel and handed all the pogues their own beers.

"Cheers," She clicked her drink with the brunette.

"Let me show y'all a party trick." JJ went in front of the boat, "Hey, Pope. Can you go a little faster?"

"Uh oh," Isabel murmured and took a sip of her beer.

"Here we go. I'm moving." John B walked away from the mess that was going to happen.

"I got this. It's gonna work!" JJ began pouring the beer in his mouth, the drink spilling everywhere.

"You're getting beer in my hair!"

"Okay JJ, that's enough." Isabel scrunched her face in disgust.

"All right, all right!"

"All right, you're done."

"Stop!"

Isabel heard the motor rattled as the boat came into a sudden stop. She fell on the ground, hitting her head on the impact.

"Shit..." She groaned, slowly getting up from her spot.

"Jesus, Pope!" Kiara exclaimed.

JJ resurfaced from the water, groaning in pain. Isabel placed a hand on her mouth to stop herself from laughing. "You okay, JJ?"

"I think my heels touched the back of my head."

"Kie, Isabel, you okay?" John B asked the girls.

"We're good," Kiara reassured him.

Isabel helped Pope up from the floor, "Sandbar. The channel changed."

"No shit." JJ swam his way back on the boat.

Isabel took off her shirt, leaving her with only a bikini top. She twisted her body since it was sore from having that hard fall.

"Hey, I saved a beer though."

"Congrats, JJ."

"Guys... I think there's a boat down there." Pope announced to everyone.

"Shut up. What?"

"No way," Isabel shook her head at the Heyward boy.

"No, no, guys. I'm serious. There's a boat down there." Everyone walked towards the edge and looked down at the water.

Isabel's eyes widened when she did in fact see a white boat there. "There's a boat!" Pope pointed in the water.

"Holy shit, he's right. Let's go." Kiara started pulling down her jean shorts.

The Benson girl started to pull down her bottoms, JJ watching her actions. "Staring problem, Maybank?"

"Nah, just enjoying the view." He shrugged, earning a playful slap on his arm.

The pogues started to jump in the water, leaving Pope behind. "You think there's a dead body down there?"

"Guys, wait up!"

"Whoo!"

"Get your ass in here, Pope!" JJ called out from the water.

Isabel dunked her head underwater, beginning to swim to the huge white boat. A light smile came on her face and swam back up to the surface.

She gasped for air and looked at her friends that also came up from the water, "You guys saw that?"

"Yeah."

"Yeah, I did." John B laughed.

"That's a Grady-White," JJ told them. "A new one of those is like 500 gs, easy."

They began swimming back onto the boat. "That's a primo rig."

"Yeah, that's the boat I saw when I surfed the surge." John B confessed. "Maybe it hit the jetty or something."

"You surfed the surge?" Kiara asked him, sharing a glance with Isabel.

"That's my boy. Pogue style." JJ clapped hands with his best friend.

"Wait, wait. Do we know whose boat that is?" Pope asked, walking over to John B.

"No, but we're about to find out."

"John B," Isabel began.

"What?"

"Diver down, fool." Pope saluted him.

"Diver down." John B repeated before JJ pushed him into the water.

"Yeah he is."

After a few seconds, the four watched the water for John B to come out. "Should we go get him?" Pope asked them.

At the right time, John B came out of the water. "Oh my god, that took forever!" Kiara exclaimed.

"Any dead bodies?"

"Any jewelry? Treasure?"

"Looting potential?"

"No, no, I found this motel key." John b dangled the keys that were in his hand.

"A key?" Isabel frowned in disappointment.

"Yes, a key, Isabel." John B repeated.

"Great! We salvaged a motel key." JJ deadpanned.

"Guys, we should report the wreck to the coast guard." Kiara suggested, "Maybe we'll get a finders fee."

"Yeah, and not work all summer." Pope started up the boat and began driving away.

"Thanks, Agatha, ya batch."
