Rule breaker •• John B

The betrayal

   Rowan, John B, and Sarah ran towards the ticket booth for the ferry. Unsurprisingly, thanks to their excellent luck, they had just missed the last call for tickets. And the three watch as the full ferry sailed away from them.

"Shit." Rowan said, "now what?"

"You're not gonna like it." John B said toward Rowan. She raised a brow at him as he looped their arms. He then looked towards Sarah and said,

"You ever been on a tugboat?"

"A what?"

"Aw, come on, man." Rowan said, shaking her head as John B lead them.

"Yeah, look, all we gotta do is talk our way onto this barge."

"Okay." Sarah agreed.

"I got this." John B said. "These are my people. Just wait." John B let go of Rowan's arm and reluctantly she stayed with Sarah. The girls both watched as the man John B talked to shook his head. Immediately they share a look as John B comes back.

"So...our people lucked out, huh?" Rowan asked, raising a brow.

"Um. They were booked."

"Right." Rowan said, turning her head, looking around the area for anything that might help. When her eyes caught something yellow, she knew then what to do.

"What now?" Sarah asked.

"I don't—Ro?" John B said, watching as his girlfriend walked away from them. She walked over to a pole and grabbed what looked to be a yellow rain coat. She held it up to show them.

"There are two more over there." Rowan said, poring behind a group of people. John B gave her a smile.

"That's why you're the smart one." He says, jogging over towards the coats, he grabs both of them and hands one to Sarah and they each put them on.

"Follow me." Rowan said, she led them towards the side of the boat and noticed a few gas tanks and a container. "Here, grab these." She grabbed a gas tank and John B and Sarah did the same.
Seeing an opening to the boat, they immediately headed inside and found the engine room.

"Holy shit. I can't believe that worked." Sarah breathed out, taking the hood off her head, she looked around the room they were in. The red light took over instead of a normal one and almost immediately after Rowan took off her rain coat, she noticed the heat.

"Well, this should be fun." She muttered, walking over to a large step, she sat down and leaned her back against it. John B follows suit and sits beside her. Rowan signed and rested her head abasing John B's shoulder. Her hair already up in a messy bun thanks to the heat.

"So." Sarah said, from a few spots away from the couple. "Wanna play a game?"

"Not really." John B and Rowan answer.

"My sister and I play this game. It's truth or dare, but we just do the truth part." She goes on. Rowan rolled her eyes.

"So it's just truths?" She said.

"Um. Yeah. So, you go first."

"All right. If we're going to be stuck here." Rowan said. "Sarah, why is your brother such a prick?"

"I don't know. I think he was dropped on his head or something. Okay my turn.  What did you see in the painting?" She asked, looking more towards John B. Who shook his head and sighed. "Look, we can't tell you. Okay?"

"Why?"

"Because it's for your own safety."

"Okay, but something made you want to go to the archives, obviously."
