When John B finally opens it inside there is a cassette thingy and so we obviously listen to it. It's his dad's voice and it talks about how sorry he is and how he found the Royal Merchant and where the coordinates are and shit. After that, the tape ends. JJ starts shouting about the Royal Merchant which isn't the right time since John B is crying.

"Hey JJ, not the time," I say to JJ and he quiets down.

Kie goes over to John B and comforts him (big surprise) and he calms down.

-------------

"So what are you guys planning to spend the money on?" I ask the group. At this point, me and JJ are both high but we still can function and shit.

"I'm going to record a double album," Kie says.

"I'm using it to go to college and buy textbooks," Pope says.

"You are boring as fuck," I say because well he is.

"I'm going full kook," John B says.

"Like with the attitude and everything?" JJ asks.

"Hey some of us aren't that bad," I say and Kie agrees.

"Well, not you Rose. You're perfect," he says smiling at me and I can feel the blush creep onto my face.

"Thanks, JJ," Kie says rolling her eyes, and everyone laughs.

"What about you JJ?" Pope asks and everyone looks at him.

"Uhhh," he starts to say, "well I wanna buy a summer house in Yucatan and chill down there then come back up to Outer banks. What about you Rose? Wanna go to Yucatán with me?"

"Actually I was thinking the same thing," I reply.

"Awww you guys make me so sick," Kie says.

"Oh, really Kie? What about the whole oh John B make sure your safe so you can give me that John D later," I say leaving her in shock

"That's what I said," JJ says giving me a high five.

"Yeah you two are perfect for each other," Pope says rolling his eyes.

—————————
After all the celebrating about the money and stuff we discuss what are plans are for finding where the coordinates are.

"Okay well let's just go to the hotel JJ works at to go on the internet," Pope says.

"No, you're gonna get him fired," I say. JJs dad doesn't do shit for JJ and had been abusing him ever since he was little. I know that he needs this job even if I do pay for all his shit.

"Don't worry cupcake I'll only get fired if we get caught," he says and winks at me which doesn't ease my worry for him at all.

"Okay well then let's get going," John B says and we all head out.

------------------------

"Are you sure this is a good idea?" I ask JJ still worried about the outcome.

"Listen it'll be fine cupcake stop worrying even if it is cute when you bite your lip like that," he says.

"Whatever," I say rolling my eyes.

JJ reaches for something and grabs out a gun.

"Hey JJ I don't think it's a good idea to bring a gun to a 4-star hotel," Pope says.

"Yeah leave it here," Kie agrees.

"Fine," he says, "but if we die don't blame me."

"Why would we d- y'know what I'm not even gonna ask," John B says.

We all walk in through the kitchen door and immediately JJ starts to say hi to everyone and I even hear one of them say "Yo JJ is that the girl you've been talking about?" which he chooses to ignore.

"Okay right in here," JJ says opening the door to a computer room.

"Oh, sweet internet!" Pope says running to a computer.

"Gotta cheek up on my Instagram models," JJ says and I go over to his computer.

"JJ we don't have time," Pope says "coordinates?" 

John B read off the coordinates but I didn't pay that much attention because well I was looking and models with JJ.

Eventually after like 5 minutes of waiting (that's just what it felt like) they finally found the spot.

"Oh it's only down like 900 feet. That's doable right?" Kie says.

"Totally doable," JJ and me say in unison which surprises both of us.

"What do you guys have a secret submarine somwhere?" Pope asks sarcastically. 

"No but I know a place that has a drone that can drop to 1,000 feet," JJ says.

"Well, what are we waiting for let's get it dumbass," I say.

---------------

"Really the salvage yard?" I say.

"Yeah my dad got fired from here," JJ says.

"Well what's the plan?" Pope says.

"Why do we always have to plan shit out? Why can't we just wing it?" JJ says.

"Okay so what's the plan," John B says ignoring him.

---------------------

So we made the plan for Kiara to let air out of her tires and then ask the security guard for help. Me and the guys decide to go and get the thingy. What we didn't plan for was the dogs though. It started chasing us and JJ and me ran to the top of a boat while John B ran and got the drone. Pope probably just ran somewhere else to hide but I don't really know. Anyway the damn dog wouldn't stop barking at us so eventually, the guard came over to us.

"Who's up there?!?" the guard yelled, "don't make me come get your ass!"

"Wait," JJ yells and stands up.

"What the hell are you doing," I whisper quietly.

"It's me JJ. Luke's son?" JJ says and signals for me to stand up so I do.

"JJ what are you doing here? And who the hell is she?" the guard asks.

"My dad he-he threatened us," JJ lies and begins to pretend to tear up, "he said that you kept a tool of his and said if I didn't grab it then... well he said he would hit me again."

"Son of a bitch," the guard whispers under his breath, "but what about her?"

"She's my girlfriend. He saw her drop me off at my house and that's when he threatened us," JJ says.

"Okay, okay cmon down," the guard says.

"I'll just tell him I couldn't find it or something. Thank you, sir," JJ says.

"Yeah, yeah just get out of here," the guard says and we both start climbing down.

And with that we left the guard totally fell for it all.
