"He's definitely out of air." Pope cringed. Soleil and the other three made their way over to the edge of the boat and leaned over, hoping to see John B emerge from the water.
"There he is!" JJ yelled out once they spotted him.
"Oh, God! Jesus Christ!"
"Don't scare us like that!" Pope scolded the boy. Soleil just smiled, "I was sure you drowned, but I'm really glad you didn't." John B rolled his eyes at her, giving her a thumbs up in reply.
"How'd it go down there? Did you find anything?" JJ questioned, making his way over to the back of the boat where the ladder was located. Soleil trekked behind him, her arm out for her friend.
John B peeled off his oxygen mask and chuckled. "Did I find anything?" He mocked, throwing a backpack over to JJ. He then took Soleil's hand and started laughing as she failed to pull him out of the water.
"Yeah, there we go! That's my boy!" JJ grinned with excitement.
"Jeez, dude!"
"Shit. Your gear is heavy, sorry." Sunny remarked, extracting her hand. John B stumbled a little at the lack of assistance but managed to pull himself back up.
"You okay?" Kie asked him.
The boy was panting while he stood on the deck. "Yeah, I ran out of air." Kie sighed, rubbing her hands through her hair, "You scared the shit out of me." She said.
"Yeah, the cops were up here, but, uh... took care of 'em." Pope informed him.
"My bad." John B muttered. Pope shook his head, "You're all good."
"Yeah, you kinda missed the show, brother." JJ chimed in. He glanced up from the rucksack and looked at Sunny. "Also, what the hell was that about?" He questioned. She gave him a look of confusion, wondering what he was referring to. "What was what?" She asked.
"Your little accent changes?" JJ reminded her. Pope sighed, "She does that when she's under pressure." He said as if it were common knowledge. Sunny looked offended at his claim. "I do not!"
"You so do." Pope chuckled, making her reach over and shove him in the shoulder.
"Hey, guys?" Kie called out. "Guys, bogey, two o'clock." Sunny quickly turned around to see an unfamiliar boat approaching them.
"What?"
"Do you recognize that boat?" Pope questioned. Kie shook her head. "I've never seen it. What are they doing back here? The marsh is closed."
