I wake up to the sound of someone banging on the door of the Chateau. Who the hell is that? I say to myself because no one we know knocks on doors around here, we all just walk in.
"Jay, wake up." I say in a whisper nudging him to wake up. He rolls over with his eyes still closed and pulling the blankets over his head trying to ignore me. "JJ wake up someone is banging on the door." I say pulling the blankets off him.
"Parker come on I need sleep." JJ says as he grabs the blankets out of my hands and throws them over his head again. I roll my eyes as I get up to go see who it was and just as my hand touches the doorknob I hear John B talking to someone. I put my ear to the door to listen to the muffled voices but I was having a hard time figuring out who it was because of where they were standing in the house.
As they get closer I realize who John B is talking to. Shit! I say to myself still trying to listen to what they are saying as I whisper, "Jayj! Jay! JJ!" But he's still ignoring me so I grab my sneaker off the floor and throw it at him.
"Parker what the f-" JJ says as he shoots up out of bed throwing the covers off him. I run over to him and put my hand over his mouth to keep him quiet and put my finger to my lips and say, "Shhh Peterkin is here."
I go back to the door and put my ear against it again to listen to Sheriff Peterkin and John B talk. "I heard there was a fight last night down at the beach and you and a few of your little friends were involved." Peterkin says to John B. I put my hand to my head and close my eyes thinking to myself oh man John B can't lie to save his life. We're all in deep shit.
"Oh.. I.. I mean there might have been." John B says in a not convincing voice. JJ is staring at me mouthing the words 'what's going on?'
I whisper, "Peterkin is asking John B about the fight last night, but shh so I can listen." I put my ear back to the door and hear Sheriff Peterkin say, "I also heard there was a gun involved and Mr. Maybank was the one to shoot it. You know anything about that?"
"Okay. Gun? No. Did I get in a dustup? Yes, but was there a gun?" John B scoffs "No. No way." He says surprisingly more convincing this time.
"You happen to know where that Maybank boy is this morning? He wouldn't happen to be here would he?" Peterkin says. I could hear them getting closer to the door and what sounded someone's body pressing against the door of the room JJ and I are in.
I run over to the bed and tell JJ to get under the covers and grab an extra blanket off the floor throwing it over us and scatter the pillows around to cover him up as best that I could as I lay down and pretended to be asleep. As soon as my head hit the pillow the door opens and John B and Sheriff Peterkin walk in. I open my eyes and say, "Well good morning Peterkin, how ya doin'?" Trying to keep the fake smile on my face.
