We get back to the chateau, get changed into swimsuits, grab our surf boards and get into the water where JB and Kie are.
" Hey! Save some waves for us!" JJ yells as we run into the water.
" Where have you been?" Kie asks.
We surf almost all day. I like to think I'm not the worst out of all of us, but JJ is the best. I love JJ's purple board, I have a nice baby blue board.
Once it gets too dark to see much, we go back onto land, and sit down by the hammock.
JJ and I are in the hammock and everyone else is sitting in chairs around us.
" You really think it's out there? Like no bullshit?" Pope asks JB, referring to the Royal Merchant.
" My father thought it was." John B answers.
" But, do you?" Pope asks again.
" After hearing his voice on that tape, I think I do." John B answers.
" Only one way to find out." Pope says, then him and JB do their special handshake.
" Look, we're gonna find it, you know. Even JJ believes." Kie adds.
" Oh my god, JJ, do you really believe?" JB asks in a high pitched voice.
" Totally. Wait, are we talking about 4 Mil?" JJ asks.
" 400 mil." Pope, Kie, and I correct.
" Jinx." Kie says, making me chuckle.
" I'm gonna dream about shipwrecks." JJ says, turning over and throwing his arm around my waist.
" Good night, bird." JJ says to JB.
" Good night bird shit." I add, laughing. Then I snuggle closer to JJ, and fall asleep.
Time skip to when they look for the ship with the camera thing.
" All right, JJ. Pin it here." John B yells from the other side of the boat.
" Roger that! X marks the spot." JJ says, turning off the engine.
" All right ladies and gentleman." John B says, pulling the drone out of the box.
" To going full kook." John B says, putting the drone in the water.
Kie is helping the ether into the water, while Pope and I are looking at the camera screen. John B is looking at the GPS to tell us where the wreck is, and JJ is on standby to sail if we need him.
" All right, JJ, we're right over it. Ten seconds northwest." John B yells to JJ.
" Got it, ten seconds, northwest." JJ says.
" 100 feet!" Kie calls out, seeing the mark on the tether that signifies we are 100 feet deep.
Pope gasps as a squid passes the camera.
" Squid, cool." I says, then look at him.
" Big baby." I tell him.
" What, what, what, what?" John B asks, comes over to us.
" Sorry, it's nothing." Pope explains. JB just sighs.
" Don't do that to me, man." JJ says from the hut where the wheel is.
" My bad." Pope says.
We watch the camera go further and further down, but we don't see anything yet.
" And to quote The Hobbit ' Down, down, to Goblin Town. Down, down, you go, my lad." Pope says.
" 400 feet." Kie calls out, using chalk to mark the fourth tally on the side of the boat.
We are all still just waiting for a few seconds before I hear thunder in the distance.
" The tides turning!" Kie calls out.
" Hey, JJ." JB says.
" Ten seconds, alright. South-Southeast." JB tells him.
" Copy that." JJ replies before turning the boat around. The wind starts to pick up.
" JJ, 20 seconds mid-speed, all right, south!" JB tells him.
" Copy that!" JJ answers.
" Keep the tether out of the prop!" JJ tells Kiara.
" I'm trying!" Kie retorts.
" JJ, keep going!" John B says.
After a few seconds we stop.
" John B, is that good?" JJ asks.
" We're good, we're good!" JB answers.
" 700 feet!" Kie calls out.
The thunder becomes louder and the waves are getting bigger, the wind starts blowing faster.
" JJ, hold it steady!" John B says.
" 900!" Kie calls out.
" JJ, we're gonna turtle in this storm." Pope tells him.
" 920!" Kie calls out.
" Crank it north by northwest! Ten seconds!" John B yells.
" Pope, MJ, how we doin'?" John B asks.
" Almost there." We answer.
" John B, there's too much current, we're gonna lose it!" Kie yells, holding onto the tether as hard as she can.
I run over to her and hold onto it, pulling back with her.
" South, southwest, JJ! Hard!" John B yells.
" Half speed. Steady at this beating, JJ!" John B yells.
" What do you got Pope? What do you see?" John B asks.
" Nothin', a whole lot of nothin'." Pope answers.
" You should be right above it, brother." John B says.
" Kiara!" Pope calls out.
" 960!" She replies, and we keep feeding the tether into the water.
" 970!" I call out.
" 980!" Kie calls out.
" I'm at the bottom! I'm at the bottom!" Pope says.
" Okay, steady here, JJ!" John B says.
" Quarter speed, all right!" John B tells JJ.
" We should be seeing something, man." John B says to Pope.
" I know, I know!" Pope answers.
" Wait!" Pope says. Kiara and I run over to the screen.
" Oh, good God." Pope says, looking at the screen.
" You see anything?!" JJ asks.
" It's the Royal Merchant." JB says, quietly.
" The Royal Merchant, babe!" I yell to JJ.
