CHAPTER SIX - DELIBERATING

"So, we didn't see or know anything" Pope panicked while pacing up and down chateau "We need to have total and complete amnesia"

"See, Pope, that's were I agree with you" JJ begun as he stood up "Deny, deny, deny"

"Guys, we can't just keep that money" Kiara protested.

"Okay, not all of us can afford unlimited data plans, Kiara"

Kiara continued to talk, ignoring JJ "We have to pass that off to Lana Grubbs. Otherwise, it's bad karma"

"Yeah and it's also bad karma to be implicated in a felony, too" Pope added "We gotta go dark"

"If that means we get to keep the money, then I agree" JJ replied.

Eleanor rolled her eyes "Course you do" She spoke from her spot on John B's lap where she rested her head.

"I don't agree" John B glanced around the Pogues "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"

"So we're talking about a dirtbag marina rat who's never had more than forty bucks in his pocket? Then he just has a Grady-White, JB's right. This shit is shady as fuck" Eleanor said.

"All right, so think about it, Pope. How does a marina rat get a Grady-White?"

"Prostitution" Pope responded causing Eleanor and Kiara to roll their eyes this time.

"Square groupers, bro. Okay, flying under the radar, no aerial surveillance. They don't do that stuff during a hurricane" John B then pointed to JJ "What does that mean? JJ?"

"They were straight smuggling" JJ nodded and John B looked back at Pope "Smuggling" He repeated.

"Yeah and there's probably a shit amount of contraband sitting in that wreck" Eleanor spoke up.

"Hell, yeah El" JJ commented as Eleanor smiled slightly. She was glad he was warming up to her more.

"For the record, if that is a smuggling ship with illegal contraband on the inside of it. . .it probably belongs to someone else-" Pope started to explain.

Kiara shrugged "Minor details" 

"-They could come looking for it. Taking it would be catastrophically stupid"

"Yeah well we ladies and gentleman have got the daughter of Dominic and Leticia Toretto right here and-" JJ pointed to Eleanor who quickly sat up from her spot on John B's lap.

"What the fuck are you trying to say?" She frowned "And for the record, your not that clean with the police either"

JJ shrugged with an innocent smile on his face "Anyway, the things I've read and heard about them and her family" He pointed to Eleanor "She knows what she's doing"

He then looked back at Pope "And. . .sometimes stupid things have good outcomes all the time" JJ smirked and grabbed some of the cash, that he stole, off Pope and spread it out in his hands "All we need to do is figure out a way to get into the cargo hold of that wreck"

"Until then, we just lay low and act normal" JJ finished and Kiara nodded in agreement.

Pope sighed "Right. And how exactly do we do that?" He questioned JJ.

"Kegger?" Kie suggested and everyone nodded in agreement.

"Alright well I gave you all my phone number so just text me the details and I guess I'll see ya there" Kiara nodded, giving the girl a smile which Eleanor sent one back.

"Yeah, good going genius" John B said to JJ before he followed Eleanor out who wished she had her car right now.

"Hey, El, wait up!" John B called our after her "I'm sorry about what JJ said, he never knows when to shut up"

Eleanor shrugged "You don't have to apologise and I know he meant no harm, it just pissed me off a little" John B nodded "Ya know you don't have to walk me home"

"And what kind of gentleman would I be if I didn't. We don't want you getting kidnapped"

Eleanor laughed as she shoved him playfully "Oh yeah cuz your my knight in shining armour" She joked.

As they reached Leon's house, Eleanor had to admit she was glad John B had walked her home.

"So I guess I'll see you at the kegger?" John B asked as he smiled.

Eleanor nodded, a matching smile on her face "I guess you will" Walking to the door as she put the spare key she had in the key hole "Wait for me, yeah?"

John B nodded, sending her the two finger salute "Yes, ma'am"
