Present

Scooter? Scooter? Oh, god! A lady starts crying. "Who's that?" John B asks. "It's Scooter Grubs. He was out during the storm." This random girl says. "Check out this pic I got. Dead body." She continues while showing us the photo.

"What kind of boat did he have?" JJ asks the girl. "Somehow that dirt bag copped a brand new Grady white." She replies. "Everyone's out looking for it." She continues.

I saw John B look at JJ, then they turned to look at scooter.

Later

"Okay. So, um...we didn't see anything, we don't know anything." Pope says while panting. "We need to have total and complete amnesia." Pope continues.

"Actually, Pope's right for once." JJ says. "See, I agree with you sometimes deny,deny,deny." JJ continues.

"What the hell are you guys talking about?" I say dumbfounded.

"Guys we can't keep that money." Kiara speaks. "Okay. Not all of us can afford unlimited data plans Kiara." JJ spat back.

"We have to pass that off to Lana Grubbs. Otherwise it's bad karma." Kiara says.

"She's right I don't wanna get haunted by Scooter Grubbs ghost." I add.

"It's bad karma to be implicated in a felony, too. We gotta go dark" Pope also adds.

"If that means we get to keep the money, then I agree." JJ says. "I don't agree." John B says. "Why?" JJ asks him

"Just think about it, this is Scooter Grubbs we're talking about. Same dude that's buying individual cigarettes at the Porthole. Shit, one time I saw this dude begging for change in the Save-A-Lot parking lot because he needed gas, We're talking about a dirtbag marina rat who's never had more than 40 bucks in his pocket, and all of the sudden, he's got a Grady-White? Just sayin'." John B speaks.

"Hey I didn't wanna wreck your flow but uh, what's a marina rat?" I ask. "Alright so think about it Pope, how does a marina rat get a Grady white?" John B asks Pope completely ignoring my question. "Prostitution." Pope says confidently.

"Square groupers bro." John B says correcting Pope. "Okay flying under the radar, no area surveillance they don't do that stuff during a hurricane." John B continues. "So what does that mean JJ?" John B asks JJ.

"They were straight smugglin'." JJ replies. "Smugglin'. And I guarantee there's a serious amount of contraband in that wreck." John B says confidently.

"Wow I can't believe it, John B is actually right." I say in disbelief.

"For the record if that is a smuggling ship, with illegal contraband on the inside of it...it probs belongs to someone else."Pope says. "Minor details." Kie adds. "They could come looking for it, taking it would be, catastrophically stupid." Pope speaks.

"Right well, stupid things have good outcomes all the time." JJ says while flexing off the money.

"Not all the time JJ, you guys we have to be smart about this." I say worriedly. "Listen, all we need to do right now is figure out a way to get into the cargo hold of that wreck. Until then we just, lay low, just act normal." JJ says while looking at me."
