         "AH, CRAP THE TIDE."Pope leaned over between John B and JJ. "Well that doesn't look good."

Kie looked out the window, her face scrunching. "How deep is that?"

"I don't know." John B answered.

"So we won't be able to drive through?" Valerie asked, worried that they'd be stuck here for ages. The music in the car played as everyone fell silent. "Roads gone." John B sighed as he turned off the radio and stopped the car.

"Tide rose faster, a little faster than I thought it would." JJ admitted. "Uh, John B how high are the spark plugs?" He glanced over at him.

"They're good, we're fine." He nodded, looking at what was in front of him.

"No, how high are they?" Pope asked, repeating JJ's question.

"Oh, um..." John B leaned him self out the opened window, taking a glance behind him. "Uh just above the taillight." He scrunched his face as he leaned back into the seat. The car grew silent, all of them glancing at each other, debating in wether to try getting out of there or not.

"Okay, so that's what, three feet?"

"That's three feet." JJ nodded

"That water can't be three feet deep." Kie shook her head.

"So then what's the problem?" John B asked.

"Not a problem. No, we're good. We're good. She'll make it."JJ answered, leaning back into his seat. "Ladies and gentlemen, fasten your seat belts. Hold onto something, we're going into hyperdrive." John B spoke as he got ready to start the car once again.

"I'll say a quick prayer." JJ said as he lifted his hand to do the church cross sign, before saying a quiet amen.

"Uh... John, I don't think this is a good idea." Valerie stuttered, trying to find something to hold onto. John B hit the brakes, the Twinkie's tires now roatating in full speed. He yelled as the car didn't seem to budge, but then it began to move forward, everyone holding onto each other for dear life.

Within a few seconds, water had surrounded them as they drove into it, hoping that everything would go as they hoped it would. Valerie looked out the window, nervously looking back at Sarah. "Yeah, that's deep." She exaggerated, her voice high pitched.

They all glanced over at John B, who was obviously having a hard time steering the wheel.

"Faster faster!" JJ yelled. "Speed is your friend, speed is your friend, John b."
