❝ HEY. ❞ YOU WAVE, HOLDING up the sixpack, "I got the beer."

"I got the snacks." Kie says, holding up the cool box. Smiling at her, we have all the making for a perfect summer day.

"So... how did you sleep?" Kie asks, "Actually, quite well. I talked with my mum about... Everything." you fell the girl.

"Which is?"

"Mostly about Big John and JB, my dad, and..." you trail off, "And?" she asks, feeling the withhold.

Rubbing your lips together, "And how she thought I liked JJ." you add, "What? You and JJ?" she asks just as surprised.

"I know. She's crazy." you shake your head. Walking up to the pier the HMS Pogue slows its pace, "Top of the morning." JJ greets.

"Good morning."

Taking the blonde hand, help you step up the boat carefully, "What you got there?" Pope asks, "Some juice boxes?" he guesses.

Humming Kie places the box down, "You know, just some yoghurts and carrot sticks." she tells the boy.

"Hummus to dip it in." you add, "How about my kind of juice box?" JJ asks, referring to his slight beer addiction.

Looking at the boy nods, "Yeah." she tells him. Grabbing a beer from the box, he hands you the carrot, clicking his beer cap off.

"Watch this party trick." he announces in a new accent, "Terrifying." he continues stepping on the tip of the boat.

Shaking your head, you take a bite of the carrot, "It's not going to work." John B denies.

"We've tried this six thousand time."

"I got this. It's gonna work."

Holding the beer up, Pope speeds up the boat. The beer flying everywhere and on everyone, "Oh, my God. You're getting beer in my hair." Kie calls.

Narrowing your eyes, you turn your face, hoping to not get drenched, "All right, you're done." Pope decides.

Flying forward, you wince at the sudden impact. Looking over the boat, "Are you okay?" you ask JJ worried.

Groaning he leans back, "I think my heels touched the back of my head." he moans, "A free yoga class?" you offer.

"Hey, are you okay?" Kie asks. Looking at the girl a little confused you nod, "Yeah, I'm fine."

Holding your hand out for JJ, he swims closer to the boat, "Pope, what did you do?" John B asks, not understanding what happened, "Sandbar. The channel changed." Pope says, stating the obvious.

"No shit." Jay grumbles, "Hurricanes then to do some damage." you remind them.

"At least I saved the beer." he smiled. Nodding at the boy, you breath out relieved knowing if he can talk about his beer he's okay, kind of.

"Guys, I think there is a boat down there."

"No, way—" Kie denies not believing the boy, "No, no, guys. I'm serious. There's a boat down there. For real.

Furrowing your brows you focus your eyes on the water. There it was, a big white shape that could be a boat, a little blurry but definitely there.

"It's a boat." he continues to point out, "Holy shit, he's right. Let's go."

Pulling your shirt off, you jump in the water. Soon reserving for air, "Come on." JJ calls to the ones still on the HSM Pogue.

"You think there's a dead body down there?"

Your brows furrowing at the boy, "Why would you say that?" you ask beyond confused, you are in the water and he's going to be jumping.

You don't want to know if there would be a dead body, "There isn't it's just a the boat." JB denies.

Taking deep breaths, you start sinking down, swimming around the beautifully drowned vessel. Before reservicing, "You guys saw that right?" JB laughs.

"That's a Grady-White." JJ acknowledges, "A new one of those is 500G's, easy."

It's truly beyond you, if you ask him to memorise something random — like for school — he can't remember it the next day but connected it to boats and he'll never forget.

Lifting you up the boat, Kie takes your hands lifting you from JJ's hands to hers, "That's a primo rig."

"Yeah, that's the boat I saw when I surfed the surge." JB tells us, "Maybe it hit the jetty or something." he offers.

"You surfed the surge?"

"Yeah." he shrugs, not worried about the fact that he could have drowned in the slightest, "That's my boy, Pogue style." JJ praises.

Shaking your head you decide not to comment on it, "Know whose boat that is?" you ask instead.

"We are about to find out." JB announces, opening the anchors' cap, "Dude, it's too deep." Jay tells him, shooting the plan down.

Making John B shake his head as he lifts the anchor up, "Oh, for the weak and feeble, JJ."

"Well, I'm not resuscitating you. Just making that clear up front."

Humming, he steps on to the edge, "That's fine." he shrugs, "John B." Kie says gaining the attention of all of us.

Chuckling in anticipation "What?" he asks as Kiara stays silent. You clear your throat, "Be save." you say.

"Always."

"Diver down, fool."

"Diver down," he replies before JJ pushes him into the water. Holding on to the anchor he slowly but surely gets pulled down.

"It's taking too long."

"How long can you stay underwater without breathing?" you ask, your eyes not leaving the water.

"Should we go in there?"

Only to have the boy come up. Alive and well, smiling happily, "That took forever!"

Any dead bodies?" Pope asks. Looking at the boy you shake your head, "Found anything?" you ask instead.

Holding up a yellow key chain, "I found this motel key." he offers, smiling brightly at his find.

"A key?"

"Yes, a key, Pope."

"Great we salvage a motel key." JJ grumbles as they — Pope and said blondie — help him out of the water.

"Why would someone with a 500 thousand dollar boat have a motel key?" you ask, "Does it matter?"

"We should report the wreck. Maybe we get a founders Fee." Kie offers as JB steers the boat to said Coast Guards Office, "And not work all summer. Thanks, Agatha, ya bitch." JJ calls out.

"Won't that be super busy right now?" you ask the group, "Why?"

Looking at them you wave around the waters signing to what has happened, "Well... let's think. There was just a hurricane."

Arriving at said Coast Guard Office, there wasn't anyone lined outside, "See, there is no one." John B grins amused.

"Yeah, whatever. Just go inside." you tell the boy, "And there we will find no one." JJ adds.

Humming you nod, "Bye." you wave as they get off the boat. Watching them walk in, "You think he's doing something stupid?" Pope asks, "He's JJ." you shrug, watching the building.

"John B got this."

Taking a new carrot you dip it in the hummus, "Want to go to the SS after all this?" Kie asks.

Chewing you nod a little confused at the girl. Ninety-nine per cent sure it's the Shake Shack but not completely.

"The SS?"

"Our secret society meet up."

"So secret that you say it out loud?" Pope asks, which is a good point.

Humming she holds her box up, "To throw you off the game." she improvised, taking another sip.

Having the two boys come back neither of them looked happy which meant no finders fee, "And?" you ask. Watching the boys they look annoyed, "It was busy."

"Okay, now it's time for me to do my 'I-was-right-and-you-were-wrong' laugh," you announce. Laughing loudly, you hold your hand up. As they just watch, "You done?"

Holding a finger up, you shake your head. Letting our a couple more laughs, "Now, I'm done." you tell them.

Taking a sip from Kie's juice box, handing it back, before turning to the boys.

"So... what's the plan?"
