"Growing up, luke would always tell me when he was drunk off his ass, if there's one thing that I know, hell is other people. When I was a kid I didn't get it. It didn't make any sense to me. But then one day, I just decided to ask him. I said, what do you mean hell is other people? And he looked at me for a while, then he just said, just keep on living... and you'll find out. Luke's been wrong about a lot of things. But man was he right about that one. Went from a fake dad, to a real dad, who just tried to kill me. Yeah luke, yeah I found out. Hell certainly is other people." JJ said
The words sit heavy between us.
"So this Berber guy that drew the map, he's Moroccan right? Last time jj saw Groff he was probably headed to Essaouira on the Moroccan coast. Seems like that's where we need to go." Pope says, breaking the silence.
I just glance at John b.
After a while, I push myself up and walk over to JJ.
"Hey J" I say quietly.
"Hey" he mutters, taking another swig.
"You know that's not gonna help. Drinking. Trust me- I tried. It doesn't" I said
"Sure feels like it is" he says
I sit beside him.
"Talk to me. I get it. I really do" I said
He sighs, staring at the bottle.
"I don't even know what to think. For the first time in my life, I thought I had a real dad. Someone who wanted me for me" he said.
His jaw tightens. "And then- gone. Just like everything else" he says
I don't say anything. I just pull him into a hug.
"You're gonna be okay. We'll figure this out. I'm not going anywhere" I said softly.
I pulled back just enough to look at him. "I mean- hey. I'm family, right? I'm stuck with you forever" I said
He huffs out a small laugh. "At least I know you won't bail on me" he said
"Never" I smiled.
Then his eyes flick past me. "Oh shit. Guys." JJ mutters
He jumps onto a flipped boat. "It's the cops" he said
We all turn. "How did they find us?" Kie asks
"So what's the plan?" Pope asks
John b's already moving. "Follow me. Let's go" he said
We slip under the dock just as the cops reach it, their voices echoing as they yell for JJ to come out.
The water creeps higher as we move deeper, until we're forced to swim.
Then- "Murder of Hollis Robinson-"
"Murder?" Kie whispers
We don't wait. We swim hard toward the boats.
"We'll take the pontoon. It's ready to go" John b said
We pile on.
"Go" I whisper urgently.
John b guns it.
Cops rush back to the dock, yelling for us to stop as the boat tears away from them.
"So guess I'm the new murderer in town then, check that off the bucket list." JJ says
"Yeah it doesn't help that they have you on video saying I will kill them all" pope says
"Okay- no one asked pope okay?" JJ shoots back
"Forget all of that. We gotta get off this island." Cleo says
"I can't go back. I mean might as well go after that scroll right?" Pope said
"I mean I could be down for a little Moroccan vacay. What do you say we get out of dodge for a few weeks? And maybe... I could catch up with my dad." JJ adds
Cleo snorts. "We're gonna need a bigger boat. Hell a ship maybe. You know how far Morocco is? Way way way out there." Cleo said
"All right guys, we gotta boost a boat that can make it to Morocco. Take your pick. We got a lot to choose from" JJ says later as we cruise past rows of docked boats.
"What about that one?" I ask
"It's a flat hull. It's not gonna make it across the ocean. Also they break down all the time." John b said
"Hey, that's rafes boat. It's nice." kie pointed out
"I'd be with you on that one, but the reality is it's not gonna to make it across the ocean either. It's not big enough. Groff would nab the crown before we were halfway to Morocco." John b said
JJ grins. "What about this baby right here?" He asks
Popes eyes widen. "You know that's like a $2 million boat." He said
"It's pretty" I add
"Big engine" John b says
"I think that's the one" kie says
"You know we could all go to jail for taking a boat like that." Pope warns
"Pope you're gonna go to jail for things you already did" cleo said
"Nothing to worry about. We're just gonna borrow it." JJ said
"Looks like nobody's home." Cleo smirked.
"I'll go look for keys." JJ said
"Let's make this fast guys" kie urged.
I stay below with Kie and cleo while the boys take forever.
Then- "Hey- guys, guys!" I hiss
Cops are running down the dock.
"Coppers!" Cleo yells
"We still gotta find a boat to get to Morocco" pope said
"Yeah but first we gotta ditch these cops!" Cleo urged.
"JJ!" I shout
"I'm coming, I'm coming!" He yells, jumping aboard.
"I got it we gotta go fast. All right everyone hold on." Cleo says, slamming the throttle.
A cop reaches the end of the dock. The cop pulls out his gun.
"What's he doing?" John b panics
Then JJ pulls out a flare gun. "JJ!" I start
He fires. The flare streaks toward the dock. A gunshot rings out. We duck.
When I look up, I see Kie's dad- pushing the cop down.
That's the only reason the bullet misses us.
Kies already staring at him.
"Are you crazy?" Pope yelled at JJ.
"You're welcome." JJ says
"We're leaking" pope said
"What? Shit" I mutter
"They shot the boat" John b says
"Damn it" JJ mutters
"Check for a patch" pope says, pressing his hands to the hole.
"I'm looking!" JJ hurries
"I need something to cover it up. Hey we're losing air. We gotta get somewhere fast." pope says
