THE GROUP of Pogues arrived at the Motel, which reminded Aurora more of a drug base. She got some crazy flashbacks to her dad, as this place reminded her very much of him.
JJ whistled, "I thought the Château looked bad."
"This place is a shit show." John B added.
"Motel or Meth lab?" Kiara questioned sarcastically.
"Doesn't look like the place somebody with a Grady-White stays." Aurora exclaimed.
Pope retorted, "No, it looks like a place where some would with a Grady-White would get killed."
"Hey." Pope said, as John B and JJ left the boat, "Don't let him do anything stupid."
"Oh, we will." JJ interrupted.
"I'm not making promises." John B added.
"John B, be careful." Kiara called to the brunette, "I mean it."
JJ and Rory shared a look, they both knew. They all saw it, whatever that was.
"What was that?" Rory questioned, as she sat down opposite Kiara. She rummaged through her pocket to pull out a cigarette. She rested it in her mouth, before lighting it, shielding the flame from the wind with her hand.
"Nothing." Kiara replied quickly, then frowned, "I thought you quit."
"Quit?" Rory scoffed, exhaling smoke. The truth is, she never quit. She said she did, but everybody lies.
She held the cigarette inbetween her fingers, "Don't change the subject, Kie. We all saw it."
Aurora looked over at Pope, he nodded, "I saw it, too."
"Be so careful, John B." Rory mocked, "Do you like him? Like, love him?"
"Are you high? Remember the rules, no pogue-on-pogue macking." Kiara defended, "I just wanted him to be careful, you know what they're like."
Aurora smirked sarcastically, "What ever makes you sleep at night."
"Alright. Biggest pet peeve." Pope broke the silence.
"Easy." Kiara replied, "Giving one percent to the environment. We only have one Earth, we should be giving it 100 percent, bare minimum."
"What about you, Rory?" Pope questioned.
"Probably..." Aurora began, when a blue and white car arrived in the distance, "Cops."
"Your pet peeve is the police?" Kiara questioned in disbelief.
"No- well, I don't know, maybe." Aurora rambled, then she pointed to the distance, "But, cops!"
"Shit." Kiara whispered, "Call them."
"I can't." Aurora whisper-yelled, "The fucking towers are down."
"If I lose my merit scholarship, I'm gonna kill someone." Pope complained, as they secretly ran off the boat and towards the side window of the Motel.
Whilst jumping from the boat to the land, her cigarette fell from her fingers and into the murky water. The girl cursed, "For fuck sake."
Pope pulled the girl along.
"Do something." Kiara panted, "Anything!"
Pope picked up a small rock from the ground and attempted to throw it up at the window, only for it to miss and fly in the opposite direction.
Kiara scoffed, "Didn't you ever play baseball?"
"I was on the math team!" Poor defended.
"You were a Mathlete?" Aurora held in a laugh.
"Shut up." Pope groaned, "You throw a rock if your so good."
Aurora did so, and threw a small rock up at the window. Luckily for her, it hit the glass window, and John B's face appeared through the blinds. Rory gave Pope a smug 'did you see that?' look.
The three waved their arms chaotically, mouthing cops! and suddenly, John B's face disappeared again in panic.
"Get back on the boat." Kiara insisted, "Should we peel?"
"No, you never leave a Pogue behind." Pope replied.
Moments later, John B and JJ chaotically climbed out of the window, hiding either side of the wall. JJ had a massive mischievous grin on his face, and John B looked at them all with an amazed face.
Suddenly, as matters couldn't get any worse, JJ dropped something from his pocket, which clattered down the roof.
The Sherif opened the blinds, making Aurora, Pope and Kiara spin around and act natural. John B and JJ pressed themselves into the wall, giving each other panicked looks.

"Well, that was fun." JJ said sarcastically, "I mean, you couldn't warned us sooner."
"We could have." Kiara replied, "Except Pope was on the math team."
"You were a Mathlete?" John B questioned.
Pope sighed, changing the subject, "The cops took everything like it was a crime scene."
"Did you guys find anything?" Rory questioned, "Like, drinks or... drugs? Or something fun."
JJ put his hands in his pockets, before pulling out a black gun and a wad of money, "Did we find anything? I think we did."
"What the hell?" Pope panicked, "Why would you take that from a crime scene?"
"Holy fucking shit." Aurora's mouth dropped wide open.
"I'm gonna lose my merit scholarship." Pope panicked, but JJ put the gun to his lips and shushed him,
"Sh, sh, sh." JJ cooed, "At least you have as right?"
"Are you serious?" Kiara looked at John B, who was smirking proudly, then his face became serious.
"Let me hold it." Aurora said, trying to hide her excitement. JJ passed her the gun, and Rory pretended to be in a spy film and pretended to shoot stuff, "Pow. Pow. Pow."
"We need to put it back." Kiara insisted.
JJ questioned, "Rory, do you remember what dad used to tell us?"
"Fuck the police?" Rory questioned, making everyone share concerned looks.
"No, not that one." JJ shook his head, as he retrieved the gun, "Shit is better when the cops don't have it. For example, this gun."
Kiara scoffed, "That doesn't make any sense, JJ."
"It's better we have it, then the cops." JJ repeated, "Am I right, or am I right?"
"You're wrong. Definitely wrong." Pope deadpanned.
