An Outer Banks story // JJ Maybank x OC

Pt 30 - Hot tub

"Welcome to Crackhead Wasteland" Sarah said cautiously as JJ pulled up to Barry's house

"I don't know about this, man" Pope tried to reason with JJ

"Dude, why are we at Barry's?" John B exclaimed towards the blonde

"This'll only take a second" the boy said, rushing out of the van and heading inside the drug dealers house

"Where you going?" Emma shouted after the boy from the passenger seat

"Yo soy justicia" JJ said, turning towards the group of pogues before entering the house

"Did you glean anything from that?" Pope asked as the pogues watched the blonde out the open door

"You know somebody should probably..." Kie started to say as Emma opened her door and John B jumped out the back of the van

"Yeah, We got it" they answered in unison, sighing as they made their way towards the run down house

"Right" Kie said, watching the pair enter the house

"I know you got a stash around here somewhere" JJ said, rummaging through cupboards and draws as the twins entered behind him

"Yeah, so what's your plan, slick?" John B questioned the boy, standing behind him as JJ tore the couch cushions off the sofa

"Well, as thou hath stealeth from us, we shall stealeth from ye" the blonde answered, turning to look at the pair for a split second then going back to his hunt

"That kind of got lost in translation" Emma announced, looking around the damaged house

"An eye for an eye, Emma" JJ said without looking at the girl, moving to walk past her

"Yeah, that's great, JJ" John B said quickly, moving to stand in front of the boy, blocking his path, "But what happens after you rob a drug dealer, huh?" He questioned rhetorically

"He knows who we are!" Emma spoke up from behind the pair, JJ twisted his head, looking between the twins

"I'm not scared of this guy" JJ said calmly, moving past John B and continuing his search

"JJ, don't..." Emma said, watching as the boy started to walk down a hallway and following after him, John B stood rooted in the kitchen, leaning against the table as he sighed at his friend

"JJ" Emma said in a warning tone as the blonde started searching through Barry's wardrobes

"There we go" he said pulling out a duffle bag and pouring money, a lot of money, onto the bed

"JJ, don't you think..." Emma started to say, but JJ packed the money into his own bag and started walking back to the kitchen, with a sigh, Emma followed after the boy again

"What are you doing?" John B shouted to the pair

"Getting even!" JJ replied, walking back into the kitchen, "All right, took care of business"

"Hey, look at me" John B said, grabbing onto JJ's shoulders to stop him from walking "If you keep going down this road, you're gonna end up just like your dad, do..." he started to say. Emma winced at the mention of the blondes father, but before anything else could be said, JJ grabbed ahold of John B's shirt, holding him tightly

"You watch your mouth, man" he said in a threatening voice

"JJ.." Emma said sternly, walking towards the boys

"Aren't you tired of being messed with?" JJ seethed into John B's face, ignoring the girls warnings

"That's not the point, JJ" Emma spoke up again, her voice more firm now
