You said I have to trust more freely...
But diesel is desire, you were playin' with fire!
And maybe it's the past that's talkin'...
Screamin' from the crypt...
Tellin' me to punish you for things you never did...
So I justified it!

"CODE red," Pope said as he drove the HMS Pouge towards the dock of the restaurant, parking it properly as Kie and I fornwd and looked at each other, before making our way to him.

"What happened, P?" I asked him as I grabbed my bag. Mine and Kie's shift had already finished and we both were about to head back to her place and hang out.

"Yeah, what the hell happened, Pope?" Kie grumbled. "We were gonna head to my house and hang out," She added.

"Yeah, so whatever you need us for, better be good," I agreed, dragging my feet down the dock as and onto the deck as Kie and I both go down the ladder. 

"Look, guys, John B and JJ conked out in the marsh," Pope answered as he steered the wheel. "They need a tow," He added.

"Okay, well, what does that have to do with us?" Kie questioned, rolling her eyes.

"We need you for the mechanical," Pope replied, quickly.

"Mechanical?" I frowned. "You guys have JJ and still need us?" I raised an eyebrow, crossing my arms over my chest.

"Yeah, JJ's there...he misses you and needs you for the general emotional support, while Kie can actually help him out with the engine" The boy answered. 

I sighed, shrugging. "Yeah, well...I miss him too, so..." I get into the boat.

"Simp," Kie teased me, rolling her eyes as she too got into the pouge and Pope steered the wheel and turned the boat around, driving to the marsh.

Pope drove the Pouge as Kie stood beside him by the wheel and I sat in the back, the wind blowing past as we glided over the water.

"So...guys, there's something you both need to know," I started, knowing that I had to tell them. 

Pope glanced over his shoulder at me as he went back to driving the boat while Kie frowned. I stood up and walked to the bow in front of the both of them, to face them.

"What?"

"What is it, Ro?" 

"So, uh...Carter visited me just now, and we were talking about my situation with Rafe...and he got worried and we were kinda arguing about something...and I blurted about the money we took from Scooter's motel room." I explained.

"You what!?" Pope exclaimed. "And--wait, what situation with Rafe?"

"Uh, I was hooking up Rafe at the beginning of the summer..." I answered, shame and unease of the topic creeping in.
