"Took you long enough," Emelina's sly smile appeared once her friends pulled up with the HMS Pogue. Her feet dangled over the water as she sat on the dock waiting for them. The sun had begun to rise due to her not receiving a wink of sleep the whole night.
She caught Kiara's misgiving gaze, which was the exact opposite of what she was expecting from her. Emelina gave Kiara a discreet nod, knowing a talk was going to occur soon.
Kiara hopped off onto the dock where she prepared to station the boat, but Emelina stopped her. "We're gonna need that."
"Why?"
Before Emelina could answer, JJ ran down the dock to meet up with them. "We're dipping," he said with his bag hanging on his right shoulder.
John B and Sarah followed behind. Sarah held onto John B for support, the pain from her shot visibly noticeable on her face. "Where'd you guys go? What happened last night?"
"We slept on the break. What's up?" Pope answered.
"Slept, right. Yeah." JJ smirked while giving Pope a pat on the shoulder before answering him, "We were up all night."
Emelina stood up and collected her bag, making sure not to miss her step when climbing into the boat with JJ.
"We gotta get the hell out of here," John B said. Sarah nodded, grunting as she spoke, "Rafe knows we're here, so we have to leave, like, now."
The Chateau was no longer in view the further the boat got away. They stopped by a random field and settled on a bench and a few logs.
Emelina sat next to Sarah on the bench and JJ was behind her, pacing around in thought. "Look, if Rafe and Barry know, it's only a matter of time," Sarah said.
"Before everyone knows," Pope muttered, looking down at the ground.
JJ walked toward John B, who was facing the body of water, "I told you! We should've just gone south, man. Why does no one ever listen?!"
"I get it! I get it. I understand." John B told him, but JJ only turned around in a fury.
His frustrations led to Emelina, where he plopped down on the grassy ground next to the bench and leaned against it. This gave her access to his head and she wasted no time running her fingers through his hair to calm him down; a new tactic she learned.
"I have an idea. With me back, my dad's going to have to choose between me and Rafe." Sarah suggested and silence crept up on the group as they stared at her in objection.
