The next morning I woke up on the pull-out like normal.
"Get decent sweetie,we need to talk"I heard the familiar voice of Sheirf Peterkins in the kitchen
I decided to listen in on the conversation
"I hate to barge in like this but DCS called, they want me to check up on you.How are you besides the..."
She stopped.
"No im good thanks for coming by"John B's soft voice remarked
"Im glad to hear you say that John.Some things have worried me. Lets see if I remember, oh yeah,Your uncle Teddy hasn't been in state in months"
"That's false"
"You don't have to lie, I talked to the school,they said you used to be a good student but now your failing all your classes"
"Only history, but come on"
"I also heard there was a fight on the beach,and a gun was involved"She continued
Oh God, better pull through on this one.
"No"John B denied"I mean yeah I got in a dustup but there was no gun"
I could hear Peterkins sigh.
"I know who it was.I'll get to him, all im worried about is making sure your in a sturdy home"
"Sturdy?Oh yeah,Uncle Tʻs coming soon anyways"
"Thats what he told you"
"Yeah"
"If he is coming I think you should be able to stay,but if I stick my kneck out for you,you have to do something in return,like oh I dont know there was a body found in the marsh yesterday,You there?"
"Yeah we were fishing"He replied
"Catch anything"
"Nah we were skunked"
"Strange, fishing usualy good after a huricane,you come across a wreck?"
"No"
"Your skimin just above the surface John B,down here is fostercare, juivie ,pretty big drop for a smart kid like you.Up here is you and your little friends doing whatever you want your one inch above the surface. If I was you iʻd start flappin my wings.
Now are you sure you didnt come across a wreck yesterday?Cause it would be better if you didnʻt.Iʻll look the other way as long as you stay out of the marsh"She walked over to the door
"You should think about cleaning up"She said looking around the room.She looked me up and down before walking out the front door.
John B was leaning on the table thinking. I came up behind him and put my hand on his back.
"You okay?"
He closed his eyes and hummed in response
"Donʻt lie"
"Okay fine,no im not okay,What am I supposed to do y/n/n.I'm gonna end up in foster care"
"Im not gonna let that happen"
He turned around and pulled me in for a hug.
"You heard what she said"
We spent the next hour cleaning up.
Once we finished, we all met up outside the Château
"Im calling it off okay.Peterkins said if I stay out of the Marsh she'll help me with DCS"John B explained
"And you belived her?You believed an actual cop"JJ asked
"Look, all I gotta do is stay out of the marsh for a couple of days ,and she'll help me out.It doesnt help that you were shooting a gun"He yelled at JJ
"You know what I should have done?I should have let Topper drown you"
"Cause he was gonna drown me"He said sarcastically
"Sure looked like it, have you looked in the miror"JJ asked pointing at his face.
"They always win man always,Pouges Vs Kooks"He yelled at all of us
"JJ its okay"John B replied
"No its not okay, they don't want us in the marsh which means that they are hiding something.Theres something down there that they dont want us to find...We have nothing to loose"
John B started walking away but JJ stopped infront of him
"Get out of my way"John B pushed him slightly.
"Your dad has tanks right?"JJ asked
I nodded
"And you got the keys to Ward's big boat"JJ asked John B
He nodded
