the forbidden zone part 4

"all right, JJ. pin it here." john b called from the edge of the boat.

we had rode the boat off to where the royal merchant was said to be, til this day. JJ steered the boat, i stood next to him while biting my nails softly, i was so incredibly anxious about the weather and it getting bad to the point we couldn't fulfill our plan.

JJ fixed the hat on his head, "roger that! x marks the spot."

"all right, ladies and gentlemen. to going full kook." john b announced as he held up the wire to the drone, holding in over the edge of the water. he then dropped the drone down into the water, kiara was slowly moving the tether farther and farther down.

i walked over to pope who was watching the camera that was attached to the drone, looking at all the fish swimming by, "all right, JJ, we're right over it. ten seconds northwest." john b said.

"got it!" JJ called out, "ten seconds northeast." he repeated.

"one hundred feet." kiara called out to us as she grabbed a piece of chalk and made a small tally mark on the edge of the boat.

pope then jumped back softly, causing me to also jump back, "what? pope what?"

john b rushed over.

"it's nothing. just a freaking fish.." he replied.

john b groaned softly.

"don't do that to me, man." JJ said as he continued to try to keep the boat steady.

"that's my bad." pope sighed out.

"you scared me and got these guys hopes up," i chuckled, "just be more cautious at what you're looking at." i stated as i walked back over to JJ.

"and to quote the hobbit, 'down, down, to goblin town. down, down, you go, my lad.'." pope muttered.

"four hundred feet." kiara called out again, marking another tally mark.

thunder began to roar in the distance, causing all of us to stop what we were doing and look up into the sky. what once was a blue sky with white clouds, was now a dark and gloomy sky with dark clouds, "shit." i gasped out.

"the tides turning." kiara added.

"yo, JJ?"

"yep?"

"ten seconds easy. south-southeast." john b said.

"copy that!" JJ called back as he nodded his head at john b before looking back forward.

if i'm being honest, i shouldn't have come. i wasn't helping at all, nor did i know how to help. i just shadowed back everyone was doing, watching closely.

JJ then slowly steered the boat to the left.

"JJ, 20 seconds mid speed, all right? south." john b said again, directing JJ.

"copy that!" JJ called out, "aye, aye."

"we're not pirates, JJ." i grinned softly.

"technically we are. we're searching for long lost gold— it's basically a treasure hunt and we're pirates." he replied with a big smile. he wanted to find this gold more then anything.

thunder struck again, worse this time.

"this doesn't look good you guys!" i called out.

"we're good!"

"700 feet!"

thunder crashed once again, the wind picking up, causing my hair to fly backwards. i turned my head to the side, looking at everyone else. the waves were getting worse by the second, as it caused everyone to lose their balance, falling slightly. JJ grabbed onto the wall in the cockpit, holding himself steady. i had lost my footing and tumbled into the wall, hitting my back a little too hard.
