016. SNEAKING ONTO THE FERRY

Chapter sixteen

"Sneaking onto the ferry."

Having made it to the ferry, Summer was walking ahead of John B and Sarah, noticing how the man who was leaving the ticket station "no, no! Wait, sir!" she voiced, but when she got to the booth she noticed it said ferry tickets sold out "come on!" she voiced, as the man walked off, Summer looked John B and Sarah "they're sold out already." she informed them "god, damn it. Oh, shit." John B said "um.." Sarah told them "yeah, I don't know." Summer told them "hey, follow me." John B told them, grabbing both their arms and dragging the two of them off "okay, yeah. Sure, okay." Sarah told him.

"I think you could've said follow me and we would've followed without the pulling John B." Summer shared "okay, um..have you two ever been on a tugboat?" John B asked "a what?" Sarah asked him, as Summer shook her head "no, John B, no!" she voiced, as they began walking toward's a bunch of workers "you're not serious?" Sarah asked "he is and that's why this is a terrible idea!" Summer voiced "look, we gotta just talk are way out of this barge. I got this. These are my people..just wait." John B told them, walking ahead of them as Sarah and Summer stopped.

Summer looked to Sarah "so, while he talks to his people, I'm gonna go actually come up with a plan." she told her "yeah." Sarah told her, as Summer walked off, she noticed workers in yellow jackets walking all over the ferry and standing next to it, and as she did, she then turned seeing spare yellow jackets in front of her, as she smiled, she walked forward, grabbing two of them, she turned heading back toward's Sarah, and as she did she noticed her brother had returned "ah, I see someone's plan failed again. Which was why while you were doing that, I was doing this." she told him, handing the two of them the jackets, as she stepped around her brother, grabbing the one behind them.

Having put them on, the three of them then walked towards the ferry "now just grab a gas tank." Summer told them, as the three of them did so, they then took a right onto the ferry and continued walking where instead of going abroad like normal riders, Summer took them down into the engine room "how do you even know where you're going?" John B asked "it's called electives John B. I took a shop class with JJ." Summer told him "oh my god." Sarah whispered "gotta go down into the engine room." a man said, as Summer then moved John B and Sarah into a storage room, she quickly followed in after them, shutting the door behind them.

Other people could be heard down there, as Summer turned to the two and held her finger up to her lips, telling them to be quiet, and soon the ferry started moving, as Summer quickly caught herself on the door, not noticing how her brother caught Sarah from falling "we're moving." Sarah then said, as Summer chuckled "oh yeah." she voiced, turning and walking away from the door over to the two of them, who had separated.

Having been sitting in the engine room, it was hot down there, as Summer had put her hair up in a mussy bun it having become frizzy, Sarah had put her hair up in a bun as well, while John B took off his shirt "oh my god. What is the hottest you've ever been?" Sarah asked "right now." Summer and John B told her "same." Sarah replied, as Summer let out a breath "this was so much better before I realized how hot it would be down here." she mentioned "do you..I don't know, do you guys wanna play a game?" Sarah then asked "no, I don't." John B told her "yeah, I think we're good." Summer mentioned.

"Cool. So, there's this game my sister and I play. It's called truth or dare, except there's no dare." Sarah shared "so, it's just truth, Sarah. That's truth." John B told her "yeah, how's that even a game your just telling each other the truth?" Summer asked "well, it get's my sister to tell me the truth. Now do you two wanna play?" Sarah asked "sure." John B told her, as Summer let out a breath "fine." she told them "okay." Sarah said, as John B hummed "you get the first question." Sarah told him.

"Why did you kill Dimitri?" John B asked in a Russian accent "oh, that is too easy. Dimitri, he..he knew too much." Sarah shared in a Russian accent as she looked to Summer "so we killed him?" she asked, as Summer smiled "because he was compromised." she told them, in a Russian accent "yes, you know, we all know too much, eventually." John B told them "mm-hmm." Summer hummed "oh. My turn." Sarah told them, as John B hummed, Sarah looked to Summer "what did you see in the painting?" she asked her, and when she did, Summer shook her head "like I said I'm a history buff." she told her.

As Sarah scoffed "dude, I've been in class with you forever, I know when your lying! Something made you and your brother want to go to the archives obviously." she told her "fine, short version. Someone who's intended to be dead isn't." Summer told her, as Sarah furrowed her brows "like your dad?" she asked, and when she did, Summer chuckled "your..you're just making me sound like I'm crazy." she told her "I'm sorry." Sarah told her "no, no, it's..it's fine." Summer told her.

"No, it's not, I'm such an idiot. That was a really lame thing to say. I can't imagine losing my dad." Sarah shared, as she sighed "my entire family would fall apart without him. Everybody thinks he's this really rich guy, but he's from the cut, like you two, and he's busted his ass for everything that we have." she shared "you appreciate him." John B said "yeah. I do." Sarah mentioned, as John B sighed "that's how I feel about our dad." he told them, as Sarah looked at him "is that what this is about?" she asked.

"Okay, so, you know how whales make those deep noises? It's like a.." John B told them, as he made a moaning whale sound, Summer chuckled "John B, where are you going with this?" she asked him "well, that's how other whales hear each other across the ocean and I know this sounds really weird, but, uh..I can hear him calling to me..to us...like he needs our help. But, uh, I..I cannot let feelings interfere with the mission." John B told them, finding off with a Russian accent "no. No, comrade." Sarah told him "ah yes. Feelings? Feelings are what get you killed." Summer told them in a Russian accent, as silence began to over fall them once more.
