Lost Pogue | JJ Maybank

six

I'm sitting on the side of the boat next to Kie, JJ is standing by my side while John B is steering with Pope next to him. We managed to reach to motel. It looks disgusting, worse than the Chateau. It was such a mess.

JJ whistles.

"I thought the Chateau looked bad." JJ says

"This place is a shitshow." John B says

"Motel or meth lab."

"You be the judge."

"To be honest, it doesn't look like a place somebody with a Grady White stays." I spoke up, John B nodding in agreement

"No. It looks like a place someone with a Grady White would get killed." Pope corrects me

I stood from where I was sitting. Next to JJ.

"All right. Here we go," JJ says, grabbing the rope, "This is your captain speaking HMS Pogue coming in for landing." JJ jumps off, landing on the glass and stopping the boat. He ties the rope.

"We good?" John B asks

"Yeah, we good." JJ replies, finishing tiring the rope and looks back up, he hold out his hand gesturing me to get off

"All right. Here goes nothing." John B says as we both get off but before John B can get off, Pope stops him.

"Hey." Pope says

"Yeah." John B says turning around to face Pope

"Don't let them two do anything stupid." Pope says pointing to JJ and I

"Oh, we will."
"We will."

JJ and I say at the same time.

"I'm not making any promises." John B says

"Yeah, I know." Pope says, Kie looks at John B

"Uh, be careful." Kie says causing me and JJ to look at each other confused, she hands John B the motel key, "I mean it."

John B let's out a nervous laugh and then jumping off the boat. JJ and I give him a look, he taps on my shoulder telling us to go. We walk with him, JJ by my side.

"Why are all these mattresses out?" John B asks

"After a hurricane, they ditch them cause they're moldy." JJ replies

"Yeah, can you not see the green dirty looking stains on them?" I say to John B. I started to walk ahead of them while they was having their own conversation. We reach the stairs that leads us to the rooms. As we are walking down hallway, JJ speaks up.

"Just be so careful, John." JJ mimics, grabbing John B's shoulders then his chin.

"God, you're so weird." John B says

"What was that about?" JJ ask, I turn around to look at the boys

"Yeah, what the fuck was that about, Johnny?" I ask as well

"I don't know. Maybe she wants us to be careful." John B replies

"It was mainly to you, brother." I say as I turn back round

"Since she heard you're being threatened with exile, she's just been, like," JJ starts, "'oh! Be so careful, John B. Oh, give me that John D already.'"

The fact that JJ is 'moaning' makes me laugh.

"When are you gonna swoop on that, man?" JJ asks, I roll my eyes because it sounds like he's saying Kiara is an object. When she's not.
