Where is the love?// JJ Maybank

Chapter 4

When the group arrived at the coast guard station, JJ and John B went to talk to them while the other 3 stayed in the boat.

"Children peekle keepoo dying," Emilie started singing.

"Em, that's not a song." Pope said.

"Yes, it is I swear to god."

"Who's it by?" Kiara asks.

"I don't even know how the song actually goes, how do you expect me to know that?"

"When did you hear it?" Pope asked.

"In my dream I already told you!" Em hollars.

"Then I can't help you," he said as the other boys returned.

"Well, that went well." JJ said.

"So what's the plan?" Kie asked

"I know how we're gonna find the guy who owns that boat." John B states.

"We don't know who's room that is, it could be anyone's." Pope says.

JJ throws the key to Kie, "I'm in."

"Come on we'll be look out." Kie says.

"Finder's fee. Just sayin'." John be states.

"Come on bubba," Emilie says.

The five teens arrive at the motel and JJ whistles, "I thought the Chateau looked bad."

"This place is a shit-show," John B agrees.

"Motel or meth lab?" Kie wonders

"You be the judge." Pope replies.

"Doesn't look like the kind of place someone with a Grady white would stay." John B says.

"No this looks like the kind of place someone with a Grady white would get killed." Pope states.

"Oooh, fun," Emilie says.

"Alright here we go," John B says.

JJ talks into his imaginary walkie-talkie, "This is your captain speaking, HMS Pogue coming in for landing." He jumps off the boat to tie it off.

"We good?" John B asks.

"Yeah, we're good."  JJ replies.

"Alright here goes nothing," he says getting of the boat.

"Hey," Pope calls after him.

"Yeah?"

"Don't let him do anything stupid," he says pointing a JJ.

"Oh, we will," JJ says.

"I'm not making any promises."

"Yeah, I know." Pope replies.

"Uh, be careful." Kiara says before kissing John B on the cheek, "I mean it".

"Yeah" was all he said before he and JJ walk away.

Emilie wiggles her eyebrows at the girl "Does Kiara have a little bit of a crush?"

"No, he's like my brother." Kie deadpans.

"Okayyyy" Emilie said dragging out the word.

"Let's play 20 questions," Pope says.

"Okay," both girls reply.

"I'll go first," Emilie states, "Is cereal a soup?"

"No." Both of her friends answer.

"Why?"
