I carried the tanks down to JB's house where the rest of the gang was. I did the handshake with all of them and then put the tanks in JB's boat. I turned back around and looked at them. "I assume that JJ told you guys all about the grand plan?" Everyone nodded and I stepped out of the boat to start undocking it. "Well? What is everyone waiting for? Get in the damn boat." I'm right on the fucking edge. And all of that because of Sarah Cameron. Fuck this man.

I finished undocking and got into the boat, the others were already in. On the way down the marsh to where the boat was, I completely zoned out, thinking about my encounter with Sarah. When the boat stopped, I looked up to see that the sun was already setting. Thank fuck that no one started talking to me on the way there. I had actually calmed down.

"These tanks are empty. You took empty tanks?" Kie said accusatory. I raised my eyebrow at her tone, definitely not appreciating it. I was about to fucking bark at her when JJ stepped in. "Alright, calm down now AJ." I huffed while Kie took a look at the tanks again. "Well alright, this one is a quarter full. It's enough for one of us." "Love it when a plan comes together." I was about to lose my fucking shit.

I put the tank on my back, over my shirt and put the mask half over my face. I'd seen videos and I had read stuff about diving before since it was a dream for me. Then everything went to shit like it usually does. JB looked at me. "Woah, AJ, what are you doing?" I scoffed. "No one here knows how to properly dive. I have done some research on it. I'll be fine. If I won't be fine, y'all have one less thing to worry about since apparently, I'm the reason plans go to shit."

"AJ, dude. We didn't mean it like that." I shot a dirty side eye to Kie. "You may not have meant it like that, but you still implied it. I'll be fine."

JJ came over and bro hugged me. I grunted slightly since my body was still sore from our father this morning but I bro hugged him back. I know that he cares about me. I took the key from him and he whispered in my ear to be careful.

After that I put the mask fully over my face and jumped into the water. Swimming down to the boat. I took as little breaths as possible while swimming, keeping a close eye on the air. When I was down there, I opened a cabinet and took a bag from it. I then put the bag around my neck and swam up with help of the rope.

I looked up to see another boat next to ours. That can't be good. I stayed out of sight and watched the time on the elctronic clock, sucking a deep breath in when it hit zero. Staying under water until the other boat was far away enough and then popped my head up above water. I was a little bit in a daze and swam over to the boat. "Did you find anything?" I pulled the damn mask off of my face and placed it on the boat. "I don't know. You tell me if I found anything." I smiled and threw the bag on the boat, climbing in afterwards myself.

Kie and Pope were standing a lil bit to the side and I looked at them. "We're sorry AJ." I waved them off. "No biggie."

"So what was that other boat?" "Oh, those were the cops, but we took care of them." "Yeah, you missed the show lil bro."

"Hey guys? Bogey, two o'clock." We all stood up and followed Kie's line of sight, indeed seeing a fucking boat.

"Does anyone recognize that boat?" "No. What are they doing here? The marsh is closed." "I don't know. But let's not stick around to find out." I nodded my head and started the boat while JJ got the bowline in. The other boat starting to really close in on us. "I actually agree with JJ." When the engine was up and running, I grabbed the handles. "Hold on everybody." I pushed the handle forward while steering, driving us into the marsh. "Hey guys? They're following us." Ah fucking shit.

"Dude, AJ, you gotta go faster. Gun it." I nodded my head and pushed the handle all the way down, in an attempt to out-speed the other boat.

I went around the corner when the first bullet was shot and flew right past us. Everyone cursed and got down as fast as possible. I tried to lower a bit, but I still had to keep the view of where the hell I was going.
