POPE HAD DOUBTS about the teen's plan to steal the drone to search the ocean.
"Pope, we're not stealing the drone. We're borrowing it." John B explained
"Humans are the only animals that can't tell fantasy from reality", Pope quoted.
"Wait, did you come up with that?" John B asked
"Albert Berstein came up with that, but it applies to this whole treasure-hunting thing", Pope explained.
"Oh," John B said
"So, which is it?" Pope asked, "Fantasy or reality?"
"Why are you so weird, Pope?" JJ asked
"It's fantasy but possible reality," Kiara said
"Yeah, I'm with Kie," Amelia said
"Reality," John B said as Kiara smiled at him.
"Virtual Reality," JJ said, lighting a joint.
"Keep the signal clear", Pope said, snatching the joint away from JJ.
"You know what your problem is?" JJ asked as Amelia and Kiara got out of the car
"You?" Pope asked
"No! It's that you need to relax, man. You're also so tense!" JJ said
"I'm not too tense", Pope argued.
The conversation between the two boys faded away as the girls went to the van's passenger side.
"Hey, don't worry. You girls got this," John B encouraged.
"It's not us that we're worried about," Amelia said, looking over at JJ and Pope.
"Yeah, we'll be fine," Kiara said
"Got it", John B said as the girls walked away.
"Let's hope this works," John B. said
The girls approached the metal fence, spotting a security guard in the distance.
"Hello?" Kiara greeted, flashing a smile
"Excuse me?" Amelia said, trying to sound as casual as possible
The girls stand at the metal fence, awaiting the guard. The guard eyed them for a moment, then spoke.
"Can I help you girls?" The Guard asked
"Hi! Um, we have a flat tyre," Kiara explained, smiling.
"We were wondering if you could help us out?" Amelia said, smiling.
"Yeah," The Guard said, shrugging as he walked away.
"Yeah," Kiara said slowly, watching the guard disappear.
"It's too easy," Amelia said, raising an eyebrow, impressed.
"I told you we could do it," Kiara said, chuckling.
MEANWHILE, the boys were watching from a distance.
"How's it going with Kiara?" JJ asked.
"It's not awkward, weird or anything," John B said as JJ snorted.
"Yeah. Honestly, I did not think you were gonna listen to me," JJ said
"What?" John B asked
"I was 100 per cent sure she was into you," JJ said as John B sighed "Pope would agree"
"Ehh," Pope sounded
"So, like, Kie, she, like, definitely gave you the Heisman?" JJ asked
"Oh, no question. Yup," John B said
