Breaking Waves {JJ}

"Only dead body I hope to see is yours."

Evelyn glances at the TV in the living room of her fathers house.

"Hurricane Agatha continues its steady march towards Kildare Island on the outer banks of North Carolina."

"You best stay home today if you know what's good for you." Her father spat as he spun around, glaring at Evelyn.

"Yeah of course." Evelyn sighs as she walks back to her room. She didn't stay there however, after a while of sitting in the lonely solitude, she found her self sneaking out to go join Pope and John B.

"It's a double overhead out there, bro." Pope calls out, his surf board in hand.

"Double overhead?" John B questions as the three run towards the barricaded beach.

"Those aren't surf-able waves bro." Pope sighs, trying to talk some sense into the two. Pope was right. The waves seemed to be angrily slapping off the sand floor, thunder and lightning clapping the waves and the surrounding beach.

The rain was miserable, the three were already soaked before they even touched the beach.

"But they look so inviting." Evelyn mutters as her grip on the surf board tightens.

"Says who?" John B laughs to Pope before sprinting off into the water, Evelyn and Pope close behind.

Evelyn gasps for air when she finally resurfaces from getting knocked down by the waves. A large grin on her face as she watches John B get pulled under water.

She raises an eyebrow when she sees him stop, staring out into the sea. Her eyes follow his, drifting out to the boat that was crashing against the waves.

"What the hell?" John B muttered.

"Yo JJ, you been outside?" Evelyn heard John B call out to a passed out JJ on the couch.

"I have polio, bro. I can't walk." JJ's muffled response made Evelyn roll her eyes as she stood up, following John B outside to examine the damage left from Agatha.

"Oh man." John B yawned out as the two looked around at the ruined yard. "That's no good. That is not good."

"I wonder how everyone else is doing." Evelyn muttered as her eyes skim past the collapsed tree, most of the floor was muddy or was littered in branches.

"Agatha did some work, huh?" JJ called out from the house.

"Yeah, she did." John B sighs, turning to Evelyn. "Kooks have probably already fixed up the damage on their side."

"What you thinking?" JJ muttered as he walks over to help the two clear some of the branches out of the HMS.

"I'm thinkin' that storm surge pushed all the crabs out on the marsh maze. All those drum are gonna chase the crab." John B responded, throwing some branches to the floor. "It's God telling us to fish."

"Yeah so why don't you make yourself useful and clear off some of these branches?" Evelyn muttered as she threw some of the branches at JJ.

"It's kind of a smugglers boat." John B shrugs, the two boys were having some weird conversation.
