As Rylee sat on the bow of the My Druthers Too, she couldn't wipe the smile from her face. The boat, which Sarah and John B had stolen from Ward's house in Jamaica, was fully gassed up and ready to carry them home on the wide, open waters back to Kildare. The muggy, late afternoon air was cut through by the chill sea breeze, sending Rylee's hair whipping vigorously around her. She sat silently, watching as her best friends sat around her, laughing and talking, so excited to ask questions and tell their own stories that they were cutting each other off, speaking over one another, but none of them seemed to care. They were too excited.
Order was eventually restored by John B, who was behind the wheel of the small boat, eager to tell of the extraordinary tale of what had happened to Sarah and himself following the hurricane the night they disappeared.
After JJ's dad's boat, The Phantom, capsized in the eye of the storm, they had been carried out farther than John B had ever been before. They survived by hanging on to the bottom of The Phantom as it bobbed along in the water, and were miraculously saved early the next morning by a crew on a barge. To their surprise, the barge was heading to Nassau, exactly where the gold was located.
Once on land, John B and Sarah immediately had to be on the run. The crew that had rescued them had discovered that John B was wanted and that there was a hefty bounty on his head that they wanted to cash in on. Through a lot of trial and error, they ended up working with the crew again, on the condition that once they got the gold from the Cameron's Nassau estate, they would get a split. The plan had gone sour when none other than Ward and Rafe Cameron themselves had shown up in Nassau and foiled their plan.
Rafe had shot Sarah during the altercation, and because she had needed medical treatment, they had lost the gold again. They had barely even managed to escape the island by the skin of their teeth, and with a lot of help from a girl named Cleo, a member of the crew that had originally found them.
Rylee's jaw was practically on the floor of the boat as John B told the story, with plenty of interjections from Sarah to help him remember everything, "Jesus," She breathed out as John B rounded out the story by telling them they had been trying to get food and gas for the boat when they'd spotted Heyward's truck.
