CHAPTER SIXTEEN - PAYBACK

"It's a good idea Pope!" Eleanor told the boy once they were back on the boat.

"What's a good idea?" JJ came running down the dock before hopping onto the boat with a smile on his face.

"We bumped into Rafe and Topper on the golf course" Pope mumbled while driving the boat away from the dock "Made me drop all the food on the floor and then tried to steal the pack of beers"

"Wait, they didn't hurt either of you did they?" JJ asked, concern laced in his voice but Eleanor quickly shook her head.

"No because luckily for Pope I was there but if I wasn't you know they'd would jumped him. I met them for five minutes and I could tell they were trouble" Eleanor tried to prove her point even more.

"So what're you gonna do?" JJ asked the two and the next thing you know, Pope, her and JJ were stood on the HMS Pogue and looking right at Topper's boat.

"2020 Malibu, 24-MXC. The worlds finest wake-setter. Number one in quality, luxury, and performance" Pope explained.

"This is war guys" JJ said and covered his face with a balaclava "They hit us, we hit them"

"You got that right" Eleanor muttered and placed the black sunglasses to cover her face while Pope jumped in the water and swam to Topper's boat "I knew you could do it" The girl said as she stuck her hand for Pope to grab.

"You did it" JJ smiled and pulled Pope into a hug "I am so proud of you right now!"

"Wait! JJ, Eleanor. You can't tell anybody, okay?"

"Oh yeah, totally man" JJ nodded "My lips are sealed"

"No I'm serious dude. Not Kie, not John B, not anyone"

Eleanor chuckled and patted Pope's shoulder "Don't worry Pope, we got you covered" She smiled at him "Now can we please get back to the cut before that Rafe dude and his sidekick comes back"

The Pogues were now in John B's backyard in the hammocks with beers in their hands. Pope and John B were in the first one, then Kiara and Eleanor and JJ next to them.

"You really think it's out there?" Pope asked as John B sighed "Like, no bullshit?"

"My father thought it was" John B whispered.

"But do you?" Pope looked over at him even though he could hardly see in the darkness.

"After hearing his voice on that tape. . ." John B took a breath ". . .I think I do"

"Only one way to find out" Pope then sat up slightly and the two boys did the Pogue handshake with each other.

"Look, we're gonna find it, ya know?" Kiara said, trying to lighten the mood.
