"I thought the Château looked bad." JJ whistled at the sight of the motel.
"This place is a shitshow." John B remarked. "This doesn't look like a place somebody with a Grady-White stays."
"No. Looks like a place someone with a Grady-White would get killed." Pope replied, Lila nodded in agreement.
The boat turned towards the land as JJ spoke up, his hand hovering over his mouth. "This is your captain speaking. HMS Pogue coming in for landing."
JJ hopped off of the boat and onto the land as he held steady the boat. JJ grabbed the rope attached to the boat and tied it to a pole in the ground to keep the boat from moving.
John B peered over the boat, looking to JJ. "We good?"
"Yeah, we good."
John B and JJ were about to start their search for the motel room but Pope stopped them. "Hey."
"Yeah?" John B turned back towards the boy.
"Don't let him do anything stupid." Pope said sternly to John B, referring to JJ.
"Oh, we will." JJ teased Pope.
"I'm not making promises." John B claimed, leading Pope to roll his eyes.

Lila sat on the boat with Kie and Pope as they waited for the boys to come back. Lila rested her feet on the foot of the boy with her arms resting behind her head. They continued waiting patiently until Lila heard noise at the motel. She lifted her head to see the cops checking the motel.
"Shit, the cops!" Lila whisper shouted to them, ducking down.
Pope ducked down too, following Kie as they approached the motel. "Call them."
They all hopped out of the boat, lifting up their phones, trying to catch a signal. "Towers are down."
"Maybe they're not going up. Maybe... maybe they're looking for a room." Pope insisted, trying to stay calm.
"They're pointing upwards so I believe that you're incorrect." Lila declared.
They all snuck closer to the motel, trying not to be seen by the cops. They stood at the side as Pope reached down to the ground, grabbing a rock.
"Stand back." Pope warned the two girls.
They obeyed and both backed away from him. He proceeded to throw the rock towards the window to the room but he missed. The rock didn't hit the building or the window.
