As the boat slowly pulled up to the back of the motel we stood in silence, JJ quietly whistled as we noticed how bad the motel looked.
"I thought the chateau looked bad" JJ said
"This place is a shitshow" John B said
"Motel or Meth Lab?" Kie asked
"You be the judge" Pope Answered
"Doesn't look like the type of place a person with a Grady White would stay" I added.
"No. But it looks like the type of place someone with a Grady White would get killed." Pope said correcting my comment
"Mhm" I mumbled under my breath as i bit my lip looking the motel right in front of us.
"Whoo!" JJ yelled as he jumped of the boat, I slowly followed behind him.
"Oh come on Lilia it'll be fine, not like the police will show up or anything" JJ Said as he wrapped his arm around me.
"Yeah, Yeah I know" I quickly replied as I smiled.
"Hey" Pope said stopping the the three of us.
"Yeah?" John B answered
"Don't let them do anything stupid" He said pointing at JJ and I
"Oh, we will" JJ quickly Replied
"Im not making Promises" John B said
"Uh, be careful" Kiara said handing something to John B, He laughed and began walking away.
"I mean it" She Said
"Yeah" he chuckled as we started walking

I followed behind the boys and if I'm being honest I think they forgot I was there. They talked about the stuff sitting outside the motel and whatever else they were talking about.
"just be so careful John B" JJ Said mocking Kiara as he touched all over John B.
"God, your so weird" John B replied as he pushed him off.
"What was that about" JJ questioned
"I don't know maybe she wants us to be careful" John B Scoffed
"Ever since she's heard you've been threatened with Exile, she's just been like, 'Oh be so careful John B, Oh give me the John D already, when are you gonna swoop on that man?" JJ mocked once again, I held my laugh in even though I wanted to laugh but they still haven't noticed I was there.
"Bro, you know the rules no Pogue on Pogue macking" John B Replied "
"Besides you act like you never hit on anyone especially Lilia" John B Said as he said that my face got red.
"Dude, Of course I'm hitting on her she's a super hot, rich, surfer chick, slumming with us. Why? I don't know either bro but who cares" JJ Replied, I started to blush but as he said that I busted out laughing and they turned to look over at me.
"T-Thanks J-JJ, I think your pretty
h-hot too" I stuttered because I was laughing so hard. He looked over at John B and they both shook their heads.
"Goddamn I forgot she was right there, but I don't take it back" JJ mumbled, John B rolled his eyes. They both laughed a little but we all snapped back to reality.

"This is it." John B Said
"Housekeeping" JJ Said in a very high pitched voice, I gave him a weird look and he just smiled.
"Should we try it?" John B Asked
"Yeah" JJ and I replied at the same time. He put the key in and turned it slowly.
"No Power. No Security Camera's. No ones gonna know" JJ Explained.
"Yeah Hopefully" I mumbled. John B unlocked the door and I opened it to a dark room.
"Check the bag see if there's a name on there somewhere" John B Said to me.
"A Jacket" I said
"Denim Slides" One of the Guys said I couldn't make out who I was just focused on finding this person.
"No name on the jacket, it's a nice jacket though" I said as I moved it out of the way.
"He's definitely over 50, he's got new balances." John B Said
"Yo, Guys, Come here. Maybe this is where they were fishing" JJ Said as we walked over to him.
"Let me see" John B Said
"No chance that's of the continental shelf" I Explained
"That's big swell, no one fishes there." John B added
"Standard. Tissues for when you get lonely" JJ Said with an accent that made me laugh a little
"Oouh" JJ Said from the bathroom
"Did you find anything?" John B Asked
"A really awesome Dopp kit, you won't let me steal" JJ Said, I started laughing.
"Yeah cause were not stealing shit" John B Said. John B started pressing random numbers on the safe.
"Punching shit at random, that'll definitely work" I said
"I don't know, I don't know about the second one" JJ Said as he picked up a piece of paper. John B took the piece of paper and walked back over to the safe. JJ started talking about swordfish or something like that none of us really listened I watched John B punch the code in. He turned the safe door and it opened my jaw dropped as I saw stacks of money and a gun inside.
"Holyyy Shit" I mumbled as I dragged the y. JJ continued talking. John B looked at me and smiled, I bent over next to him looking inside the Safe.
"Uh JJ" I whispered
"Hmm?" He mumbled turning his head our way
"Your gonna wanna see this" John B Said as he waved the money in the air. JJ walked over to us quickly, he bent down next to us and grabbed my shoulder for balance.
"Dude, Dude, Dude" JJ Said as he grabbed the gun.
"You Grabbed the gun" John B Said
"This is a SIG sauer!" JJ Exclaimed
"Put the gun back JJ" John B
"This is a fucking spendy gatt, Man. Just...Bam Bam" JJ Said as he acted like he was shooting the gun.
"Don't even think about it! We're not stealing anything" John B Said as he grabbed JJ by the shoulders.
"Come on, atleast a couple stacks of money, we didn't come here for nothing" I Explained as I grabbed a stack shoving it in the pockets of my shorts.
"Just take a pic of me. Like right here." JJ Said
"You want me to take a picture of you?" John B Asked
"Yeah dude just like-" JJ Said as he was cut off my John B
"Do you wanna make your own incriminating evidence? Is that what your talking about?" John B questioned him. I heard something hit up against the window.
"Wait. What was that?" JJ asked as I ran over to the window and peaked out the blinds. I looked down to see Pope and Kie.
"cops, cops, cops" they whispered jumping up and down pointing to the outside of the motel. My eyes got wide and I ran over to the window by the door, I peaked out the blinds to see two officers right outside the door.
"oh shit" I whispered turning to the guys.
"what? what?" They questioned.
"Cops" I whispered to them
"Shit" they mumbled, John B quickly ran over to the window and JJ and I ran over to the safe. A knock on the door made my anxiety level go even higher.
"Kildare County sheriffs department" A manly voice yelled from outside the room. I grabbed JJ's arm we quickly stepped out the window and onto a little roof right under the window and tried to get as far as we could from window view. I stood right next to JJ and John B on the other side next to us
"yeah cops won't come right JJ?" I whispered to him
"It's like I knew" he replied.
"Shhh!" I shushed putting my finger to his lips, he gave a huge grin and quietly laughed.
"what are you guys doing?!" Pope whispered from the boat.
"Shhh" I whispered to him. John B peaked from the side of the window.
"Everybody's gotta dip their beak" I heard one of the officers say from inside.
"what the f-" JJ whispered in my ear
"Holy Shit" I whispered looking at JJ and quickly turning my head to John B.
"Do you believe it?" JJ asked quietly, he turned around and the gun fell out of his pocket making a loud sound as it hit the roof we were standing on.
"Goddamnit JJ" I whispered through my teeth as I elbowed him in the side, we all quickly stood up straight and leaned up to the wall as much as we could as the cop opened up the window and looked around.
"Alright, Let's go" The cop said as he walked away from the window.

"Well that was fun" JJ chuckled as we got to the boat.
"Yeah, y'all could've warned us a little sooner." I replied
"We would of, except Pope was on the math team" Kiara sighed
"You were on the math team?" I questioned
"The cops took everything like it was a crime scene, did you guys take anything." Pope asked ignoring my question. I looked at John B and JJ and smiled as we stood up and took the stuff out of our pockets, JJ pulled out the gun and a stack of money as I pulled out three other stacks. Their Jaws dropped.
"what the hell!" Pope Exclaimed
"Dude, What?" Kiara Asked
"Dude chill, come on look" JJ Said walking up to Pope and Showing him a close up.
"Why would you take that from a crime scene?" Pope Asked
"It's better than the cops having it" I answered
"You serious?" Kiara Asked pulling me to the back of the boat
"Come on Kie, we won't get caught it's fine." I Said
"Okay Lilia, But if y'all get caught just know I'm not in this" She Said and have a small wink, I walked away and jokingly blew her a kiss.
"I'm gonna lose my Merit Scholarship" Pope said
"You'll be fine Pope, if anything does happen we got your back" I said smiling as I was digging into the cooler for another beer. I unscrewed the lid and put the bottle to my lips right as I was about to take a sip JJ came over and took the bottle and put it to his lips.
"Come on JJ" I groaned as I tried to get it, he laughed as he handed me the bottle that was half way gone I rolled my eyes.
"Did you mean what you said?" He asked me
"Did I mean what?" I asked him playing dumb
"Come on Lilia when you called me hot?" He asked
"Of course I did your my bestfriend JJ, now did you mean it?"
I asked putting the bottle to my lips
"Do you want the truth?" He asked, oh shit I thought to myself my stomach dropped.
"If it's not gonna hurt me then yes" I Replied
"Yes I did mean it" He Replied
"Okay good I was scared" I laughed. We walked over to the rest of the group.

We went to this place where most pogues hung out, we all talked and got distracted when we saw a dead body on a stretcher get pulled through the street.

"Who's that?" I asked
"Scooter Grubbs, He was out during the storm, Check out this pic I got" A girl replied showing us the picture, my stomach dropped as I quickly turned away.
"What kinda boat did he have?" JJ asked
"Somehow that dirtbag copped a brand new Grady-White. Everyone's out looking for it" She replied, I looked over at the group and we all had the same shocked look on our faces.
