After John b got back from the DCS meeting the five of them hung out but there was a hurricane so Kie, Pope, and Savannah went home. John b told the three that he would be by to pick them up the next morning.
Savannah got up and got ready. She walked outside to go to the dock. The backyard was a mess. There were workers outside cleaning everything up, which she rolled her eyes to.
She didn't get why her dad and stepmom always hired people to clean stuff when they could do it themselves and keep the hundreds of dollars that they were giving them. To her it just seemed like a waste of money.
Wheezie was in the chair trying to get service on her phone, and her twin sister Sarah had a tennis racket and was swatting at the birds that were trying to get the mice that were there. Savannah walked pass her sister, Sarah obviously not noticing her, and went to the dock as John b pulled up.
"What is she doing?" Kie asked looking at Sarah who had almost fell, the five of them turned to see Sarah trying to hit a bird who was trying to eat a mouse.
"Um, keeping the birds away from the mice." Savannah answered grabbing JJs outreached hand and stepped on the boat sitting beside him, Kie handed her a beer which she gladly accepted.
"How'd you sleep?" JJ asked Savannah when he noticed the other three were talking and not paying them any attention.
JJ and Savannah didn't mind the teasing that they did, they laughed at it. But from time to time, they wanted talk to each other without the teasing, so they would wait till the three were distracted to talk to each other about things that John b, Kie, and Pope would joke about.
"Good, for the most part. How'd you sleep?" Savannah asked, "did something happen last night?" JJ asked ignoring her question "no, you know I hate hurricanes." She said as he rested his hand on her thigh.
They all started messing around and laughing with each other. John b and Pope had switched places so that Pope was driving.
JJ had wanted to show them a "party trick" that he had been trying to do for months. He tried standing on the edge of the boat and catch the beer into his mouth, but it didn't work.
Pope had hit a sandbar which jolted the boat and threw JJ off into the water. They had ended up finding a Grady white that had a key in it.
"Well, that went well." Pope said, they were going to turn the boat into the coast guard but they were ignored.
"So, what's the plan?" JJ asked, "I know how we're going to find the guy who owns that boat." John b said holding the key up.
"We don't know whose room that is. It could be anyone." Pope said as JJ took the key.
"I'm in." JJ said tossing the key to Kie "Come on. We'll be lookout." Kie said and walked away.
JJ grabbed savannahs hand and walked back to the boat.
