"We're getting on the internet because only rich people have electricity right now" JJ replies to pope's comment. We then enter the back of the building, where the hotel's kitchen was. "Andrew!" JJ yells to one of the cooks saying hello. JJ and I worked here a few summers back.

JJ nods at the cook. "Sup bud?" He asks as we keep walking. He guides me through the kitchen, keeping his arm around me the whole time. "Long time no see, Alexis" I say to one of the cooks I used to work with. I shot her a wink as I smiled at her.

"Mama El!" JJ tries to steal a piece of food from the head chef. "No JJ!" She yells as she slaps his hand with a wooden spoon. I manage to steal a piece and I give it to JJ as we walk out of the kitchen, our friends following us close behind.

"See they got the backup generators going? Kooks don't miss a beat" JJ mumbles to the group. "Of course they don't J, they're rich bitches" I reply. "That just about sums it up" Kie says as the group laughs.

We then sneak into the computer room. "Sweet Lord the internet!" Pope runs over to one of the computers. "God, I've missed you" I say running over to the computer next to him. John B nudges me telling me to cut it out.

"Let me get in there, I gotta check out my insta models" JJ says to Pope. "JJ Maybank, I'm standing right here" I say with my hands on my hips. "Only you babe, only you" He winks at me. He links his arm around my waist as John B hands Pope the map.

John B reads off the coordinates as Pope types them into google earth. The boys continue talking about where the wreck could be but I wasn't listening. I was acknowledging JJ's facial features as he held me close. I've never felt this way before, I love this boy
I thought to myself.

"Yeah, that's totally doable" the blonde saws snapping me out of my thoughts. "Will we be taking your personal submarine?" Pope asks. I was super confused on what they were talking about so I just stayed silent.

"The salvage yard, they got a drone that can drop a thousand, it has a 360 camera and everything. It's for deep dives and stuff it's exactly what we need" JJ says. "And can your dad get his grimy little hands on it?" My brother asks. "Well my dad's grimy little hands got him fired" JJ replies.

"But the drones there, it's in the impound yard out back" He adds. "How much did you says was on the royal merchant again?" I ask. I had totally forgot. "400 million" John B replies. Pope runs for the door knowing that me and Kie will make a run for it.

"400 million dollars?!" Kie says before me and her speed walk to the door. We try to push Pope out of the way. "Pope! Move!" Me and Kie say as he was blocking the door.

We finally get him to move. "Can't we do anything legal for money?" Pope asks as we walk out of the room, me and Kie leading the group.

Once we leave the hotel, we're on our way to the salvage yard. The plan was me and Kie would distract the guard while the boys snuck around back, then I would sneak in to help them out.

"So, which is it, fantasy, or reality?" Pope asks. "Why are you weird Pope?" JJ asks. "Honestly" I add. "It's fantasy, but possibly reality" Kie answers his question.

"Reality" John B says. Kie smiles at him which makes me smile. They seemed to like each other just never made a move, or a least not one that I ever knew about.

The van then comes to a halt, as it was me and Kie's turn to pursue our acting career. We hop out then head over to Kie's car, which had the pogue hitched to the back of it.

"Don't worry, you guys got this" John B says as we start to cross the road. "It's not us that I'm worried about" Kie says signaling to the boys in the back. I laugh.

We get into her car and she starts it up. "So... you and JJ?" She says with a smirk. "It just kind of happened, there's not much too it" I blush. "If you say so, you both make a very cute couple though" she says as we pull into the salvage yard. It was a short drive.

"Hello! Excuse me?" We yell to the security guard. He looks up from whatever he was doing when he sees us outside. "Can I help you?" He asks.

"Hiii we have a flat tire, We were wondering if maybe you could help us out?" I ask with a wide smile. Kie was doing the same. I could feel the boys staring at us from a mile away.

He looks at both of us before saying "Yeah" and going to grab his air pump. "This is too easy" Kie mumbles to me. I chuckle.

"It's just this back one right here, it must have been a slow leak or something" Kie says. "It's probably just been sitting in the yard too long" The man replies. I look over and see the boys dart through the gate.

"Hey, do you have a bathroom I could use?" I ask with a smile. "Yeah, it's through the gate around the corner" the man replies, focusing on the tire. I wink at Kie before I slide my lock picking kit into my pocket and go through the gate.
