MERCEDES, jj maybank

THE MERCHANT

The Pogues were out on the hammocks. They shouted for Trinity to go over and join them but she wasn't feeling it. With that being said she made her way inside and sat on the couch, making herself comfortable.

She had nothing to do other than sit and scribble on a scrap piece of paper. She wrote at her name a couple of times and drew small doodles until she felt footsteps coming up towards her.

"What's happened?" JJ asks.

Trinity couldn't bring herself to speak and she just started to cry. This alarmed JJ and he got the hint whatever happened was serious. He went over and sat close to her.

"Hey don't cry, what's wrong?" He uses his thumb to wipe her cheeks.

She took a deep breath and composed herself, "Rafe and I, broke up,"

"I'm sorry to hear that,"

Him saying that made her laugh, "You don't have to lie,"

"No I'm sorry for him, it's his loss."

She shrugs.

"I don't think that he was the right fit for you, I think now you can just relax and have fun for yourself,"

Trinity nods, "I need to go apologise to Pope again, for what Rafe did,"

The next morning Trinity woke up to JJ's head rested on her shoulder with her head on his. The sun was shining through the shutters and she also heard Kiara, John B and Pope talking through the open window.

"So we're ready to go?" Pope asks.

"Yeah, everything's fine,"

"Are the other two coming with us?" Kie asks.

"Of course, Kie, they're just asleep right now." John B is confused with the way Kiara questioned him but doesn't mention it.

"Something was off with Trinity," She says.

"Oh a hundred percent," John B nods in agreement.

"She broke up with Rafe last night," Pope says, "Don't mention it around her or anything she is really upset about it,"

"Why? Rafe's a douche," John B chuckles.

"Trinity cared about him," Kie suggests, "I think she's better off without."

After getting ready and organising everything John B drove everyone to the docks, to finally carry out their plan with physically finding the Merchant.

Out on the boat, JJ was driving, Kie, Pope and John B were all out looking at the monitor and the drone. Trinity was keeping JJ company.

He kept on looking at her but she was just staring at the floor or fiddling with the button of her shorts.

"You don't want to be here do you?"

She shrugs her shoulders, "I have to be here, for John B,"

He smirks, "That's real cute of you,"

"Shut up JJ,"

"Okay JJ, pin it here!" John B orders from outside.

JJ stops smiling and focuses, "Roger that! X marks the spot."

Trinity walks outside and stands with John B, who's getting ready to drop the drone into the ocean. "All right ladies and gentlemen, to going full Kook."
