the forbidden zone part 3
"hey— stop! don't touch that, idiot." pope said to JJ who kept messing with the drone. "i'm trying to work out this thing."
i looked down at the two, looking at john b from under the water through the drone camera we had set up. it was the next day, early in the morning. "why did we have to do this so early?" i asked while putting my hair into a low ponytail.
kiara then came on the camera and was swimming up to the surface, "what a view." JJ commented.
i rolled my eyes and watched as kiara and john b came up to the surface.
"what would we do without you knowing how to control a drone." JJ stated as he stood up straight and leaned against the dock rail beside me.
"technically, it's not a drone. it's an rov." pope started.
"shut up. shut up, it's too early for that right now." JJ said.
"but it's not too early to be out here doing this?" i asked.
"shh, party pooper." JJ replied as he kept his gaze on kiara and john b.
"hey, once we get footage of the wreck, we'll bring it to a lawyer in town and file a formal claim." john b stated as he caught his breath from just being under water.
"it's bullshit. why do we have to do that?" JJ spoke up.
"well, there is maritime salvage law. you can't just go to the ocean floor and scoop a bunch of stuff up." pope explained.
"i know. i know. it's just lawyers aren't cheap, bro." JJ said as he exhaled heavily.
"as soon as they see the footage, they'll work for a comp." john b said.
"how do you know all that?" kiara asked with a smile.
"cause my dad said it, like, a million times."
"yeah, that's fair."
"this tether is, like, really long. in the wrong weather, it could get pushed around." pope said with worry.
kiara swam closer to the dock as she started to climb up the ladder.
"then we'll go at dead calm." john b said to pope.
the thunder started to rumble, i looked up into the sky at the somewhat blue sky that was about to get taken over by grey stormy clouds.
"at slack tide?"
"so now, we just gotta wait around for the right weather. and today is not that day." pope said.
"yeah, we should definitely wait until the weather is better and not stormy." i told them as kiara got back onto the dock and dried herself off, john b swimming over to the dock as well.
"well, this is kildare, daph, the weather here is never good." pope said.
"what do we do in the spare time?" i questioned the four.
"well, i gotta go help out my dad at the tiki bar." pope replied, "he needs extra hands to deliver some groceries to the kooks."
"i gotta help my fam at the wreck." kiara said as she leaned against the railing, towel wrapped around her.
"i'll help you pope." JJ said as he put an arm around pope.
"you know what, i'll help to." i shrugged my shoulders.
"thank you guys." pope smiled.
"we got your back." i smiled back at him.
"i'll stay behind and look more into this royal merchant shit." john b said.
