- THE CREW

JOHN B NARRATING

"The pogues - That's us"

"Pogues, Poguies, the throwaway fish, Lowest member of the food chain. Okay. So, the downside of Pogue life is we're ignored and neglected. But the upside of pogue life? Were ignored and neglected, which means we do whatever we want, whenever we want"

"That's JJ, My best friend since the third grade. He's about as local as they come. Latest in a long line of fishing, drinking, smuggling, vendetta-holding salt-lifers who made their living off the water. Second best surfer I know, and trust me he'll never let me live it down if he finds out I said his sister was better. Just don't tell him I said that, Okay? He's got this wild, untamed energy about him, like a storm that never quite settles. A mild kleptomaniac with a talent of 'borrowing things' that he swears he'll return, most of it ending up in his personal collection. Oh and let's just say the IRS is going to have their hands full with him one day. But beneath all this chaos and crazy ideas, he's loyal to a fault. The kind of guy who'd give you the shirt off his back, even if he stole it in the first place."

"Then there's Juliette or Jules, JJ's Twin sister. Same wild streak, maybe even wilder, if that's possible. She's got this fire in her, always has. She's one of us - a pogue through and through - but she's got her own way on doing things. Always ready to throw down, Especially when there's a Kook involved. She hates them more than any of us. Growing up, Jules didn't have it easy. Her dad made home feel more like a battleground. Jules loyalty runs deep because she knows what it's like to have no one else to count on. Just like her brother, as much as the Outer banks has been a shit show, this is her home. She's dead set on making this town her bitch, fixing up the cut and not letting people like the Cameron's run things forever. Jules a bit of a badass, no doubt about it. But beneath all that fire she's got a good heart. Just don't expect her to show it unless you've earned it. You want her on your side, Just don't get on her bad side."

"And that's Kiara, or kie as we call her. When she's not saving turtles, or listening to Marley, or getting a dolphin tattoo, she hangs out with us. I'm not really sure why, though. So, she's a rich kid actually. Foot in both worlds. Her family owns The Wreck, which is this Outer Banks institution. Total cash cow with the tourists. You know, I'm not really sure how her parents feel about us. But Kie's not like the other kooks. She's got a rebellious streak, always questioning authority, always down for whatever crazy scheme we cook up. The thing is she doesn't just care about the big things, like of course she cares about saving the planet - maybe a little too much - but she cares about us too. Even when we don't deserve it. Us three guys all sorta have a thing for her. But honestly I think Juliette has more of a chance than any of us do."

"and that's Pope, the brains of the operation... finalist for the Lucas T. Vanderhorst Merit Scholarship, and the smartest person I know. Little bit of a weirdo. His father's this Legendary Character, Heyward. Anything you wanted on this island, Heyward could get it for you. Now, i'm not quite sure Heyward knew what to make of his oddball son, but it didn't matter. He was a pogue, just like the rest of us. He's got this quiet determination, this drive to prove himself, not to us, because he doesn't need to, but maybe to himself. And yeah, he's got his quirks - like obsessing over random facts or building something crazy just because he can, but that's what makes him Pope. He's the guy you want in your corner when everything's falling apart, the one who'll pull off a genius move and act like it's no big deal. He's the glue that holds us together, even if he doesn't realise it."

"So, that's my crew"

"And that's me, John booker routledge. And this is where I live. An old fish shack on the marsh. The Chateau, as my dad used to call it. My dad, he disappeared at sea nine months ago, looking for a shipwreck. Who disappears at sea these days? I miss him. And then there's Mom. She split when I was three. Last I heard, she was in Colorado. I think It was Colorado. Then there's uncle T. Since Dads vanished, he's supposedly my legal guardian. At the moment, he's in Mississippi, building houses... which means it's just me right now, on my own, hanging out with my friends. Three months after my dad was missing he was officially presumed dead. I refused to sign the papers. Until I see a body, I'm not giving up."

"And that's where this story starts. My dad missing, my uncle MIA, and the Bride of Frankenstein threatening foster care."
