JJ WHISTLED AT THE VIEW of the motel. Clothes were trashed all over the area, trees crashed to the ground, some fell onto boats, causing quite some damages, even the sign wasn't in place anymore. The walls had green stains, presumably from floods and the waters, "I thought the Château looked bad."
"This place is a shitshow," Victoria added, scanning the dirty water, filled with plastic.
"Motel or meth lab?" Kiara joked, with a face full of disgust.
The damages only added to the image of the cheap motel, John B knew the place and it was never in good condition, "Doesn't look like a place somebody with a Grady-White stays."
"No, looks like a place someone with a Grady-White would get killed," Pope added, the boat was nearly at shore.
"All right, here we go," JJ picked up a rope from the bottom of their boat, as he got ready to tie it to land. Imitating his favourite walkie-talkie, he announced, "This is your captain speaking, HMS Pogue comin' in for landing."
As JJ said that, he jumped off the boat, adding a "Whoo!" along with it. He moored it to a piece of wood stuck in the ground.
John B stepped off the boat to join JJ, "Here goes nothing."
Pope turned to Victoria, "Go with them."
A look of confusion appeared on both her and JJ's face. Before she could say anything, the boy got defensive, "What? She's not coming with us."
"You can't do anything stupid, JJ," Pope leaned on the railing above the steaming wheel. He motioned to Vic to join them.
"I don't mind," she said, as she got up from her seat, directing to the boys.
"But I do," JJ stopped her from stepping off the boat by blocking her way.
"Oh come on, dude," Victoria threw her hands frustrated.
John B rolled his eyes, annoyed at the blonde for starting an argument again, "Don't be a dumbass, she'll only help us."
JJ jaw clenched, as he maintained eye contact with Victoria. After a moment, he stepped away, allowing her to hop off.
"I'm not making promises though, Pope," she winked.
JB walked up to Kie, in order to take the keys she was holding.
