The next day, I woke up with a headache, I groaned and got up. I heard John B talking to someone on the living room but i couldnt figure out whose voice it was, but it definetly wasnt a pogue
"They wanted me to check on you and your sister, see how youre doin'" the voice said, it sounded like a women
"So how are you besides the" what?"Oh, no, we're... we're great. Yeah, fantastic.. uh, thanks for coming by" i heard JB say "Im so glad to hear you say that, John B, but I heard a few things that worried me. Let me see if I can remember, oh yeah, one of the things I heard is that your uncle Teddy, your guardian, hasnt been in the state for three months"
"Thats false" said JB "You dont have to say anything. I know its true" i decided to ask John B about it later and got ready for the day, when I finished i got out of my room and saw sheriff peterkin Talking with my brother "Whats going on?" i asked worry laced in my voice
"All im worried about right now is makin' sure you guys are in a safe home" she said "Yeah super safe" said John B scoffing "super sound, sturdy. You know what I mean"
"Yeah and uncle T is coming back, so" i said helping JB "Is that what he told you?" asked the sheriff "Yeah"
"Well, if he really is coming back, I think you guys should be allowed to stay" she said "Thank you" i said agreeing with her "But if I stick my neck out for you, you have to help me. Tit for tat"
"What... what does tat mean?" questioned John B "Let me see how can you help me? Oh, I know. So, a body was found in the marsh yesterday. Were you in the marsh yesterday?" she asked looking back between JB and i "Yeah, we were fishin' for some drum" i answered her question "You catch anything?" she said "Nah, we were skunked" said John B
"Strange. Fishing usually goes well after a storm, all sorts of things get stirred up. You come across a wreck yesterday?" said Peterkin, John B looked at me quickly and said "No" the sheriff just sighed and look at both of us "You guys are skimming just above the surface. Now, down here is foster care, juvie, pretty big drop for smart kids like you. Up here are you guys and your little friends doing whatever you want, outer banks, or foster care on the mainland"
John B and i looked at each other "youre just one inch above the surface, guys. If I was you i'd start flappin' my wings. Now, you sure you didnt come across a wreck yesterday?" she asked looking into our eyes "Yeah... yeah, we're sure" i said looking at John B then her, she grabbed both our shoulders and said "Its better if you didnt, you understand? Im gonna look the other way, as long as you stay out of the marsh. Ive got dogs living better than this guys, you might want to think about cleaning up" then left, JB grabbed and empty beer can and threw it at the wall
