The Pogues were preparing the boat by placing the food and other supplies inside of it and filling up the engine. But minutes passed and John B was already too late
"Dude where is he?!" Kie asked concerned.
"Give him a second he'll be here." Pope replied.
"He's coming, he'll be fine." JJ reassured them.
Then they heard a very familiar sound coming right up to them, sirens.
"Hey yeah get back in the boat!" JJ told his friends when a police car was parked right in front of them. They did what JJ told them to do and got inside of the boat, but then stopped when they noticed John B was the person driving the police car.
"Wait, no way." JJ said in disbelief as they all looked at John B.
"No effing way." Pope gasped
"You've gotta be kidding me." JJ laughed. Evie chuckled at John B as he walked towards them.
"Shoupe let me take it for a spin." John B joked.
"Okay, that's believable, I'll buy that for now." Kie said while she hugged John B, relieved that he was all right.
"It wasn't easy bro, but I got the phantom for you and she runs like she was made yesterday." JJ said while throwing the keys at John B.
"Are you ready to go?" Evie asked.
"Where's Sarah?" John B asked, looking around for his girlfriend.
"She's not with you?" Kie replied.
"No, we got separated in the swamp she said she was gonna meet me here." John B answered in panic.
"No, we haven't seen her." Pope said shaking his head.
"Okay well I'm not leaving without her." John B told them.
"John B, look at me, I know you feel bad for leaving, but there's no time man. You've got plenty of gas, plenty of food, once you get around that point, it's a straight shot across the sound to Dismal Swamp okay? Once you get there, lay low, all right? Hang out for a couple of weeks and then go overland, cross the border at brownsville, you got that? Brownsville. Hey! You that?" JJ explained, snapping at John B when he zoned off.
"Yeah yeah, Brownsville." John B nodded.
"All right, saddle her up saltwater cowboy, let's do this." JJ said while jumping off of the boat as John B jumped on it.
"Hey hey, I'm sorry for basically throwing us off a cliff with this whole treasure hunt thing." John B said tearing up.
"Hey John B, yo, we were bound to run off a cliff at some point, right?" JJ said, They all laughed and looked at John B who was now starting to cry.
"Yeah." John B muttered.
"At least we did it together, though." JJ said as he threw his arms around Evie and Pope, making Evie throw her other arm around Kie.
"Pogue style." JJ said proudly.
"Pogue style." John B said trying to hold his tears.
"Get out of here! Please." Kiara said smiling at the boy.
"We'll see you in two months, down in Mexico." Pope told him.
"Love you!" JJ said as John B walked towards the wheel.
Evie hopped on the boat to give her brother one last hug.
"I love you JB please be safe!" Evie whispered in his ear.
