Pope: shit. JJ.

JJ: guys, that's the police.

Pope: oh, you gotta be kidding me.

JJ: yep, that's the police.

Evie: J? *I say worried and he snaps his head to look at me.*

JJ: it's fine Eve-

Kie: just act frickin' normal.

*the boat pulls up to the side of ours and I grab JJs hand and he sits down putting his arm around my shoulder.*

Pope: evening officers.

Cop: evening.

Pope: JJ, tie this off.

*he hands him the rope and JJ stands up to tie it.*

Cop: how you kids doing? You know the marsh is closed?

JJ: no. I didn't know that.

Pope: no. Wow. Why—why is it closed?

Cop: well, we're conducting a search out here. Boat went down.

Kie: Oh.

*I take bouncing my leg and playing with my fingers. JJ puts his hand on my shoulder to calm me down.*

Cop: seen anything?

JJ: no. No boats. No.

Cop: where's your friend you always hang with? He here?

Evie: he's working.

*he looks at me with a unconvincing smile.*

Cop: I'm gonna check your little boat out.

JJ: yeah.

Pope: yeah, hop aboard.

JJ: you wanna check—uh, check her out.

Cop: thank you. Uh...you got another one of these?

*talking about the life vest*

JJ: yeah.

Pope: yeah, yeah.

JJ: of course. It's, uh...it's in the hold.

Pope: yeah.

*me and Kie stand up.*

Evie: show him. *I give JJ a look.*

JJ: ok.

*he holds my hips so he can go past me and opens up the hold, pulling out a vest.*

JJ: yeah, here we go.

Cop: all right.

JJ: yeah.

*closing the hold and let's me sit back down.*

JJ: be careful.

*as the cop goes up to the edge of the boat looking at the water.*

Evie: yeah, you don't want to slip.

Cop: you let us know if you see anything on your way out.

Pope: will do. Will do.

JJ: we'll be gone soon, sir.

Cop: yes, you will.

*they leave and I run to the edge of the boat freaking out.*

Evie: he's definitely out of air. Oh God.
