I DECIDED TO spend the night with Kiara to offer her my support after the hurtful situation with John B. As we make our way down the dock, Pope catches our attention and calls out to us urgently.

"Code red!" he exclaims, his voice filled with worry.

Kie tilts her head, her curiosity piqued. "What the hell is going on?" We walk down the stairs and approach the HMS Pogue.

Pope explains the situation, his voice serious. "Okay, so JJ and John B conked out in the marsh. They need a tow."

I shrug, not surprised by the revelation. "Idiots." I cross my arms, a hint of annoyance in my voice. "Okay, well what does that have to do with us?" I huff, not understanding why we have to be involved.

We climb onto the boat, and Pope grins at us. "We need you two for mechanical purposes, plus JJ said he wants to see you."

I roll my eyes, a mixture of irritation and resignation in my tone. "Right."

We arrive at the other boat where John B and JJ are waiting, and Pope gives us further details. "They're up in the alp." he explains.

Kie shrugs and poses a question. "Can't you guys do anything without us?" I can't help but let out a soft snort of amusement.

We step onto the boat and approach JJ and John b. A smirk forms on my face as I spot JJ shirtless. Kie asks, "What happened?"

JJ's eyes brighten as he spots me, and he rushes over, grabbing me by the waist and twirling me around in a whirlwind of laughter and joy.

I giggle, wrapping my arms around him as he gently places me down. H grins at me and I tease, "Can't survive without me, huh?"

I try to suppress my smile, biting my lip. JJ kisses my forehead, his voice soft. "Nope." Despite the playful banter, there's a hint of guilt in his eyes, and his brows are furrowed as he looks at me.

I turn my gaze to see John B giving JJ a disapproving glare. JJ rolls his eyes at him and explains, "Uh, the alternator's, uh not alternating anymore."

John B chimes in, "It's not charged." Heshrugs indifferently.

Kie and I walk closer, and I inquire, "Did you check the plugs?" I tuck my hair behind my ear as I look down at John B. He hands something to Kie, his smile thinly masking his discomfort. "No, no. You guys should check them." John B hastily exits meeting JJ on the deck.

JJ grins at me, his voice playful. "Give it a whirl, princess."

I roll my eyes, teasing him in return. "You guys are useless." Kie and I lean down to inspect the machine, and apologies start flowing from JJ's mouth making me furrow my brows as everyone leaves the area expect Kiara and I.
