Lily's POV

„SHOULD WE GO get him?" Pope asks after a few minutes waiting for John B to get out of the water.

„This is stressin' me out." I mutter, tightening my grip on the side of the boat.

Suddenly, the water's surface broke and John B emerged coughing.

„Oh my god!" Kie lets out a sigh. „That took forever!"

„Thank fuck." I breathe out, reaching down to help Pope and JJ lift him onto the boat.

„Any dead bodies?" Pope asks.

„Looting potential?" JJ questions after him.

„Gadgets and gizmos a plenty?" I singingly joke.

„No, no, no," John B says, slightly glaring at me. he lifts up a small object that's hanging off his finger. „I found this motel key."

JJ and Pope release their grip on him, letting me struggle to keep him above water without falling in.

„Sorry to say B, but you need to lose some weight." I groan "Hello!" I yell at the others.

„Oh yeah sorry, there's just no way we did all of that for a fucking motel key." Pope says while him and JJ help me again.

John B Rolls his eyes.

„Great we salvaged a motel key." JJ sarcastically says.

„Good job guys. Glad to know we just did all that for a piece of metal." I add

„Guys, we should report the wreck to the coast guard. Maybe we'll get a finders fee." Kiara suggest as we start up the boat again.

„Yeah, and not work all summer." JJ agrees.
„Thanks Agatha, ya batch."

I chuckle at the boy and lay back down on the nose of the boat, evening out my tan.

What we didn't know is that we were getting ourselves into something way more than just a lost motel key and a wreck.

:･ﾟ✧:･.☽˚｡･ﾟ✧:･.:

„We'll, that went well." I mumble as I watch JJ and John B walk out of the coast guard. The man working there didn't even give the two any of his time, he was too focused on a lady and a man talking about a diabetic dog.

„Sooo... What's the plan?" JJ asks, putting and arm on John B's shoulder.

„I think I know how we're gonna find the guy who owns the boat." John B announces, lifting the motel key into the air.

„No,no. We don't know whose room that is. It could belong to anyone." Pope disagrees.

„I'm in." JJ says, completely ignoring Pope. He takes the keys out of JB's hands and tosses them towards me.

„Come on!" Kiara tries to persuade him as I catch the keys. „We'll be on lookout."

Pope turns around and takes a deep breath, thinking about his decision.

„Finders fee," John B says as he walks past him. „Just sayin'. And hey, at least you'll only be an accomplice."

„Man." Pope groans, eventually giving in.

„Come on, bubba." He mentions for Pope to hurry over.
