Kyla went back to the bait shop to help set up for their treasure hunt later. She had been on the new boat with JJ, wringing her hands together as she thought about the ensuing mission.

She didn't like that JJ would be diving alone. He was the most experienced one, but just being one person in that kind of depth couldn't be safe. "Look, J, I've been thinking..." Kyla trailed off. JJ hummed in response, allowing her to go on. "I don't think you should dive by yourself.

"Why not?" JJ asked.

"Because it's not safe. So, that's why...I'm going to go with you," Kyla told him.

"What? It's 80 feet down in the dark and moving through structures. Even for experts, it's a hairball situation and you've never even dived before," JJ replied, shaking his head.

"Yeah, I have. I took a couple diving classes with Alex back at Davidson," Kyla told him, placing her hands on her hips.

JJ furrowed his brows. "Who's Alex?"

Kyla gave him a look. "JJ, you know who Alex is. I've talked about him before."

JJ tilted his head. "Oh, it's a him?" He questioned, a jealous tone making its way out of his mouth.

Kyla scoffed at him. "You can't be serious right now, He's Rhiannon's older brother, the redheads. I've told you about them before. They're a part of the friend group I have back at DC. And they're actually here right now, supposed to see me but I told them I had other plans to do first."

JJ racked his brain, realizing that she had told him about Rhiannon and Alex. "Wait, they're here right now? You didn't tell them about what we were doing right?" He asked and Kyla pursed her lips. "Right, Ky?"

"Look, I had to, okay?!" Kyla admitted and JJ looked down, sighing. "They already know everything that happened to us the last two years so I couldn't just lie. They're not gonna tell anyone, they don't know anybody here. Trust me." JJ then began to chuckle at her words. "What?"

"You really are more strait-laced than Pope," JJ said with a grin, recalling their conversation from before.

"Oh, shut up," Kyla said, shoving his shoulder back.
