We tied onto this dock and chilled for a little bit. Though, as we were walking down we see a man laying on a stretcher with a woman crying over him. My heart ached.

"Who's that?" John B asks a girl sitting next to us.

"That's Scooter Grubbs. He was out during the storm." The girl replies. "Check out this pic i got." She held up the phone for all of us to see.

"Holy shit." John B adds.

My stomach ached. "Oh my god. That is-"

"What kind of boat did he have?"JJ cut me off.

I looked up at him. "Rude" I mumbled.

"Somehow, that dirtbag copped a brand-new Grady White." She replied. "Everyone's out looking for it.

"He just died. Do you have to call him a dirt bag." I say under my breath.

She glared at me. Of course I glared back. I soon ignore her and look back at JJ who's eyes are wide noticing her and I's interaction.

"Okay. So, um...we didn't see anything. We don't know anything. We need to have total and complete amnesia." Pope barges into the porch.

I was sitting on the arm of the chair JJ was sitting in, John B was flipping a bottle, and Kie was just sitting there.

I grabbed the lighter JJ was fidgeting with and spun it around a few times, handing it back to him accidentally touching his cold rings on his warm hands.

"Actually, Pope's right for once." JJ gets up and i quickly steal his seat. "See, I agree with you sometimes. Deny, deny, deny."

"Guys, we can't keep that money." Kie adds.

"Okay. Not all of us can afford unlimited data plans, Kiara." JJ snaps.

"I agree and I don't have an unlimited data plan JJ" I mock him.

He rolls his eyes and I flash him a cheeky no-teeth smile.

"We have to pass the money off to Lana Grubbs. Otherwise, it's bad karma." Kiara adds.

"Bad karma to be implicated in a felony, too" Pope adds on. "We gotta go dark."

"If that means we get to keep the money, then I agree."

"Sorry J! We. Are. Not. Keeping. The. Money." I reassured him, walking into the house to get a new bathing suit and shorts on. The ones i just had on got dirty from jumping off the roof earlier.

I picked out a new one piece. This one was sage green with hibiscus flowers and ties in the back. I worked at a surf shop by the beach that also sold hella bathing suits so I always got returned ones or "damaged" ones. I then, threw on ripped jean shorts and put JJ's hat back on.

Right when I walked out, I locked back into the conversation. "We're talking about a dirt bag marina rat who's never had more than forty bucks in his pocket, and all the sudden he's got a Grady-White?" John B goes on. "Just sayin'"

"JJ, maybe try to take a picture. it'll last longer." I catch JJ staring.

He rolls his eyes as we all walk onto the dock. "I was definitely thinking about it."
