Boy Wonder

S4E8|| FAMILY PLOT

(Y/n) pov

"Bro, I'm gonna be honest with you, this map looks hella dry.", I told my brother.

"Yeah, but in a trippy mosaic type of way!", my husband added.

JJ, John B, Kie, Sarah, Cleo, Pope and I were discussing amongst ourselves about what we should do with the map. And getting high. Sarah was about to take a hit.

"Girl, no.", Kie scoffed.

"No drugs or high floaty times for you, Sarah.", I told Sarah, staring at her.

"Oh, right. My bad.", she giggled nervously.

We kept talking shortly until we heard clattering outside. The fence rattled as well. I had my pocketknife in my front pocket while JJ grabbed a paddle and we went outside to investigate. My brother didn't see anything on his side. We were calm for a bit until Groff appeared.

"Shit, sorry, you guys. JJ, you made it.", he panted.

"Yeah, no thanks to you.", I replied with a snarky tone.

"I apologize for scaring you all. I...swam all the way in.", he coughed out.

"What are you doing here?", JJ asked his biological father in a cold tone.

"I...had nowhere else to go, son.", he admitted.

Wow, do yall smell that? I smell a big load of bullshit!

Anyways, JJ helped his father into the house. I don't like the man but, it's his father so, it's up to JJ what happens to him.

We all discussed Groff's relationship with JJ.

"I don't deserve the title but, yes, I am JJ's biological father.", he stated truthfully.

"Damn right, you don't deserve the title! You dragged him into your mess and almost got him killed! What the hell do you want out of this, Groff? Fame? Money? Why would you want money if you're a fucking kook?!", I snapped bitterly.

"I could've done better by my son, raised him right, I know that. I look forward to telling you all about it. Especially you, sweetheart. You must be (Y/n), I assume. He told me that you have a smart mouth and don't know when to shut up.", he responded bluntly.

"What? I did not-", JJ started.

"I'm not being a smart mouth if what I'm saying is true now, am I? If you want to talk shit about me, you better have the evidence to back it up. Otherwise, my name better not come out of your disgusting mouth.", I scoffed bitterly.

"I'm just saying what my son told me, okay? I'm afraid time is short and all of us in this room are in danger. That packing tube in there? Seems like you kids opened it, found a scroll in there, but neither of you can read it. It's an encrypted scroll.", Groff continued.

"How do you know that?", my brother asked the older man.

"I suspect that you are in possession of the Mogador scroll, created by Barbary pirates in 1703. The people on the boat y'all just encountered? They're the Lupine Corsairs, all of them are dangerous mercenaries. You stole something that belongs to them.", he added.
