"Uh.. that's the police." I whisper, a little nervous.
"Yeah, guys. That's the cops." JJ adds, changing his stance slightly and acting relaxed.
"Oh, you gotta be kidding me." Pope groans.
"Just act frickin' normal." Kie speaks, while flicking her hair onto her back.
As the police comes closer to us, we all get into slightly different positions but try to act as normal as we can.
"Evening officers." Pope nods his head towards the police, attempting to act normal and chill.
"Evening." Shoupe replies, returning the nod. "Here."
Shoupe hands us a rope to tie onto our boat, so neither of us float away from each other. After JJ finishes tying it, Officer Shoupe starts questioning us, meanwhile John B is still under the water.
"What are you kids doing? You know the marsh is closed?" Shoupe informs.
The four of us all act dumb and pretend like we didn't know it was closed.
"No. Wow." Pope mumbles as he scratches the back of his head.
"I didn't know that." JJ shrugs his shoulders.
"W-Why is it closed?" I question Shoupe.
"Well, we're conducting a search out here. Boat went down." Shoupe informs us. "You seen anything?"
"No." JJ shakes his head and looks around.
"No boats. No." Pope responds.
"Yeah, we haven't seen anything." Kie adds.
I just shake my head and smile, trying to hide the worried look on my face.
Before Shoupe speaks again, I turn my head slightly and look into the water; to see if John B is there, but he isn't.
Oh no.
This can't be good.
"Where's your friend you always hang with? He here?" Shoupe asks.
No one answers.
"He's working." I turn my head back quickly and smile.
"Hm..." Shoupe nods.
Shoupe starts changing his position and begins climbing onto our boat. Kie and I look at each other nervously.
"I'm gonna check your little boat out." Shoupe informs.
"Yeah, hop aboard. Uh... check her— come check her out." Pope nods his head, like it's chill.
"Thank you."
Officer Shoupe begins searching through our boat and looking at all the equipment we have. I see Pope look into the water slightly as well, but then he gulps and turns his head back to the cops.
"You uh.. you got another one of these?" Shoupe questions, holding up a life jacket.
"Yeah, yeah." Pope answers, nodding his head nervously.
"Of course. It's, uh... it's in the hold." JJ tells and points to the underground compartment.
"Show him." I stand up and clear out of JJ's way.
