Part 3

I sat up and looked out over the water as we approached the docks. Debris was everywhere and those who were out, were cleaning. JJ and John B were talking about some kind of boats, I tuned out minutes ago.

"Yeah?", I heard JJ respond to something John B had said.

"It's kind of a smuggler's boat", John B replied.

We waved to people as we passed by and exchanged "Good Mornings". I eventually got up and stood next to JJ. He had a hand on the bar of the plastic window that sat in front of the driver's seat and I had a hand on him. I mainly just hung onto his arm to keep myself steady.

"Sure hope Guffy's boat didn't sink. He doesn't have insurance", JJ said concerned.

"Yeah", John B and I said together.

"Hi Miss Amy! You guys get through it?", John B asked with a wave.

JJ and I waved to Miss Amy and her husband who were at the end of the dock picking up debris.

"Still here", she smiled at us as we idled past her.

"She totally looked at me", JJ said wiggling his eyebrows.

I rolled my eyes, "No she didn't."

"I saw it", John B said backing him up.

"In your dreams", I laughed and turned my head to the front of the boat so JJ wouldn't see how slightly annoyed I was with the situation.

"Guys, look at this place", I sighed.

There was so much debris in the water, on boats, and on the docks. JJ whistled as we continued to idle down the dock.

"Agatha, what did you do?", JJ groaned.

"She is a crazy lady", John B commented.

"The hurricane surge, man", I said and looked back at them.

"Yeah", they nodded in agreement.

"We're gonna be cleaning this all summer", JJ threw out there.

"That is my nightmare", John B said, clearly unamused with the idea.

"Hey, there's Pope", I pointed as we were getting close to his family's shop dock.

"Well look who we have here", JJ said as we got a bit closer.

Pope was filling a bucket with a water hose. He looked rather bored and like he needed some saving. He looked up at us and smiled when John B made a weird whooping noise. Then they started in with the fake radio noises.

"We have a safety meeting. Attendance mandatory", he said then made a static noise.

"I can't. My pop's got me on lockdown", Pope protested.

"Oh, come on Pope!" I groaned and moved to take my seat back on the front.

"You dad's a pussy. Over", JJ said then made the same static noise as John B did.

"Oh, I heard that, you little bastard", Pope's dad said as he realized it was us trying to steal Pope.

"We need your son", John B told him.
