Storm Chaser // JJ Maybank

16

Kie and I are at the dock waiting for Pope to show up. He said it was some kind of emergency. He pulls up in the Pogue.

"Code red!" Pope shouts.

"What the hell is going on?" Kie asks.

"Okay, JJ and John B conked out in the marsh. They need a tow," Pope explains.

I step in the boat. "Uh, okay, well, what does that have to do with us?"

"We need you for mechanical," Pope reasons.

I nod my head. "Mechanical."

We head out to the marsh where JJ and John B are stuck.

"John B and JJ are up in the Alp," Pope tells us.

"Can't you guys do anything without me?" Kie questions.

Kie and I get on the boat and find JJ and John B leaning over the engine.

"What happened?" I ask.

"Uh, the alternator's, uh, not alternating anymore," JJ tells me.

"It's not charged," John B states.

"Did you check the plugs?" Kie asks.

"No. No, you should check 'em," JJ says as he hands the screwdriver to Kie.

"Give it a whirl," John B tells her.

"You guys are useless," I tell them.

Kie and I both bend down to look at the engine.

"Sorry about that," John B says.

"Uh... is this a joke?" Kie asks.

The spark plugs are missing from the engine completely.

"There are no spark plugs, like, at all," I say.

I hear a splash and run out to the back of the boat. "Shit."

Kie stops when she hears pounding on the hold.

"John B, let me out! John B!"

Kie opens the hold door. Sarah Cameron is inside.

"What?" Kie ask. "Wait."

I shout at the guys. "Are you serious?"

"Are you joking?" Kie asks.

"Get your asses back here!" I yell.

"We can't. Not till those two figure it out," John B tells us.

"I will kill every single one of you!" Kie threatens.

"Y-You can't just leave!" Sarah shouts.

"What did I do to deserve this?" I ask.

John B chuckles. "You know what you did."

"There's food in the cabin, and JJ rolled a blunt," Pope tells us.

"Hydroponic!" JJ shouts.

"JJ I am going to beat the crap out of you!" I threaten.

"Love you to!" JJ shouts back.

"This is ridiculous," Sarah says as he starts to take her clothes off.

"Well, I would rather drown than stay here with you, so..." Kie trails off as she takes her shirt off.

"Fine, be my guest. Maybe you'll finally shut the hell up," Sarah remarks.

"You don't even know where you're going," I tell her.

"I don't care," Sarah says before jumping onto the water.
