I wake up confused to the sound of tanks clanking.

"Wheezie shut up!" Sarah mutters with her eyes closed. She gasps, "God, yore not wheezie." She sits up as she sees John B.

"Correct, yeah." He laughs awkwardly. "Im sorry."

"What are you doing here at this time?" I ask him.

"Uh.. I'm just dropping off some scuba gear." He explains as Sarah pulls her shirt down. "What are- what are you guys doing here?..." He stutters.

"Its our boat?" Sarah says sarcastically. "Its also the only place with air conditioning."

"Right." John B nods.

"Did you, um.. top up the tanks?" Sarah questions him.

"Uhh.. No. No, powers down, so the compressors were off." He says, clearing his throat.

"That makes no sense, why do you have them them?" I laugh.

"So, you're sneaking onto our boat at 5am with empty tanks?" Sarah says. He gulps. "Ill make sure to tell Ward." She smirks.

"Okay, okay, cool. Just drop these off." He says putting them on the floor.

"Yeah, yeah, the middle of the room is fine." Sarah jokes.

I laugh with her.

"Yeah, this is pretty much what he told me to do." John B confirms.

"Bye!" Sarah says as he begins to leave.

"Actually, you know what-- what exactly are you gonna tell your dad?" He turns around to us.

"Nothing much, just that you poached our scuba gear." Sarah shakes her head.

"Sarah, come on." I say, feeling bad for him.

"Okay, fuck. I borrowed it for a few hours. Okay? And then I brought it back intact and unharmed." He explains.

"Minus air." Sarah smiles.

"Look, please dont tell him." John B pleads. "Okay, he'll fire me."

"What are you gonna do? Pull a gun on me?" Sarah asks.

"I didn't know JJ was gonna do that." He says, looking down.

"Yeah, well he was gonna shoot Rafe." I interfere.

"That's convenient to believe, John B." Sarah chuckles. "Maybe you should get better friends?"

"Well, maybe you should get a better boyfriend." He snaps back.

"Like one who doesn't poach." Sarah continues the bickering.

"Look, please, just dont tell him." John B says.

"Relax, I'm not gonna tell him anything." Sarah says. "You're secrets safe with me, John B."

He smirks at her.
