"Okay, so what the hell happened?" John b fires the question the second we tie back up at the dock, his voice way too loud for how wrecked I already feel.
"Someone tried to kill us" I groan, holding my ribs like that might help.
"What? Why? That doesn't make sense" pope says
"Obviously they were going after the same thing we were right?" John b said
"That amulet was worth something. That old man is keeping some secret" cleo said
But I couldn't focus on anything. My hearts racing. My skins buzzing. Everything feels wrong.
"Hey- hey, are you okay?"' John b asks, noticing the way I'm hunched over.
Then it slams into me like a truck.
"Shit- John b." I try to breathe. It hurts. "The bends" I said
"Did you take your safety stop?" Pope asks JJ.
"I'm gonna say it one more time. Someone was trying to kill us" JJ snaps
"No, we didn't! We need to get to the hospital- now!" I yell, the pain boiling up my spine.
"We need to go now!" Pope echoes, grabbing JJ while kie helps steady him.
"Nice and easy. You're okay, you've just got a couple bubbles in your blood" john b says as he and Cleo pull me toward the van.
"No shit, Sherlock" I groan
"Come on, John b!" Cleo shouts
"I'm going!" He says, waving through traffic.
"Hey watch out watch out" pope warned
"Deep breathes, deep breathes. John b can you please go faster" kie pleads.
"Who was down there with you guys?" Pope asks
"No idea, pope. But you're not gonna believe this...." I mange to unwrap the cloth and hand the amulet to Kie.
"What is that?" Cleo asks
"You found it?" Kie gasps
"Holy shit. That's the thing he was looking for?" Cleo asks
"Holy shit- holy shit. Why didn't you tell us sooner?" John b asks
"I'm busy dying!" I yell
"You're a rockstar girl" cleo tries to soothe.
It feels like hours before we get there. They rush us inside immediately- JJ and I get shoved into this tube thing with red lights that buzz faintly, and even that sound feels like it's drilling into my teeth.
Slowly, the pain fades.
I look through the little window at John b. He's pacing like a worried dad.
He smiles. I flip him off.
He laughs and mouths. "I love you" he says
I mouth back. "I love you too. We'll be okay" I said
Thirty minutes in, and I can finally breathe.
"You thinking what I'm thinking?" JJ asks
"We take a big fat nap, wake up and play rock paper scissors, the take another nap?" I say
"Great minds think alike. Have a good fat nap, Ella" JJ says
"Thanks J, hope you have a good fat nap too" I said
We pass out instantly.
After what feels like twelve years, we wake up, argue over who cheated in rock-paper-scissors, then fall asleep again.
Eventually, I blink awake, stretch, and glance toward the window-
And freeze.
A man is standing there. Watching us. Starting right at me. Deep cut on his arm- exactly where JJ stabbed him underwater. And i remember him- the weird guy from the shop, hovering like a bad smell.
My stomach drops. My pulse spikes. Even the soft hum of the machine suddenly feels like a scream.
I smack JJ's arm. "JJ- wake up. Now. That's him" I said
He sits up, sees the guy. "Shit" he muttered
A doctor finally leads him away, and the moment the guy disappears, JJ and I lock eyes. "JJ, we have to get out of here now" I said
"Ma'am! Ma'am! Hey help!" JJ starts banging on the glass.
The woman comes over, tells us to calm down, then walks away.
"Okay okay I've got an idea, this is not my best idea." JJ says, lying down and planting his feet on the glass.
"Yesh. No shit it's not. But hurry" I said
He kicks it, but nothing happens. "Kick it harder!" I yell
One more hit- and the glass shatters.
He squeezes out first, then yanks the door open for me.
"I'm gonna buy us some time. Meet me outside" JJ says, already running off.
"Wait- JJ. What the hell does that mean?" I nutter
He starts yelling and shoving people, causing a scene. Loud. Chaotic. Perfect distraction.
I duck behind a wall just as the man looks toward him.
"I'm going to file a complaint! File a formal complaint!" JJ shouts- and then gives me the look.
"He wants a file" I whisper- and bolt.
I walk fast but casual down the hall, pulse thudding in my throat. I pass the desk- his file is sitting right there. I swipe it and spring outside.
John b, cleo, kie, and pope are in the car.
"Where's JJ?" Pope asks as I dive into the bed of the truck.
"JJ's coming. Drive- go!" I yell
Pope pulls off and JJ bursts out the doors, diving into the back with me.
"Are you guys okay?" John b asks
"Yeah. So you know that guy that was down at the wreck that tried to kill us?" JJ asks
"He was there" I said
"At the hospital with you?" Pope asks
"Yep" I nodded.
"He was getting stitched up where I got him with the harpoon gun" JJ adds
"I got this. I swiped his file. It's got an address. Downtown Pelican somewhere" I said, handing it to pope.
"What are we supposed to do with that?" Pope asks
"What do you mean, pay him a visit. We found out who this goon is pope. Six against one? I think we could take him" JJ says
"Or just get there first and just scope it out" kie says
Pope sighs. "Okay, fine let's go" he said
"I'll be ready for him this time" JJ says
"Nah nah nah, not me. I'm not doing that today. Drop me off at the house. I'm done" I said
"Actually we need to go get this amulet translated. Best to get it over with" john b says
I groan. "Fine. I'll do that- rather that than fight some dude" I said
"Drop Stel and I off at the house, you guys do you're thing and we'll get this translated" john b says
