"Guys...I think there's boat down there"

Upon hearing Pope mention a boat Kai walks over to where he was standing.

"What boat?" looking over the edge she tried to find what he was talking about. Moving over Pope pulled her to where he was and pointed, "There".

When she finally notices the boat she turns around to Pope where they exchange the same look of uneasiness.

Shut up."

"No way".

"No,no, guys. I'm serious. There's like a boat down there." pointing his finger, he showed them where it was, "For real".

John B finally walks over to Pope looking over the edge, "Guys... is this...", not letting him finish Pope exclaims "It's a boat!".

"Holy shit, he's right. Let's go."

Walking away she tugs off her shorts and jumps in the water yelling, "Let's go."

Diving in the water Kaila swims over to JJ

"You okay?"

"Yea, you?"

"I'm good"

Once everyone is in the water, JJ jokingly remarks,

"Do you think there's a dead body down there?"

Pope rushes to get into the water while exclaiming, "Guy's, wait up!"

"Should have already been ready Pope!", Kai yells back with a smirk on her face.

"Get your ass in here Pope!"

"Come on!"

"Move your ass Pope!"

Diving down into the water the group swims towards the boat. Grabbing onto the poles, Kaila and everyone else look into the boat.

Needing air they all swim back to surface, gasping JJ says "You guys saw that?"

"Yeah"

"Yup"

"Yeah, I did"

"Yeah"

Laughing they all swim back towards their boat. JJ says, "That's a Grady White. A new one of those is like 500 Gs, easy", Laughing Kaila says "How did someone get their hands onto to that!".

Climbing onto the boat Kaila and JJ both say "That's a primo ring.", replying to them John B says, "Yeah. That's the boat I saw when I surfed the surge.".

"Maybe it hit the jet or something."

"You surfed the surge?" Kiara says while looking at John B. "That's my boy. Pogue Style." rolling her eyes Kaila pushes JJ back into the water slightly.

"Wait, wait. Do we know whose boat that is?" she and Pope ask while turning around. "No, but we're about to find out." John B says while pulling out the anchor.

"Dude, it's too deep."

"Oh, for the weak and feeble JJ."

Going over to Kiara, Kaila whispers that she's not saving him if he drowns.

Thinking the same thing as her JJ half jokingly says, "Well, I'm not resuscitating you. I'm just making that clear up front."

"That's fine"

"John B.." Kiara says, sternly staring at him

Chuckling he looks up at Kiara and says, "What?". "Diver down, dumbass" Kai says while saluting to him.

"Diver down, fool."

Saluting back, "Diver Down." before getting pushed by JJ, "Yeah he is."

"Really JJ." Kai says hitting him.

✍︎︎

John B taking ages to come back up, the group starts debating whether they should jump in and get him.

Kai peers down into the water hoping she might be able to see him coming back up.

"I'm jumping in"

Moving away from the railing Kaila turns to put her hair up, but before she could fully turn a hand firmly pulls her back down.

"No. Your not"

Glaring at JJ, she moves to curse him out but before she can get a word out she hears a gasp from the water.

Sharply turning her head Kaila looks at John B with a worried glance, "That took longer than it should have!"

"That took forever!"

"Any dead bodies?"

"Any thing we can make money off of?"

"Looting potential?"

Shaking his head he pulls something out of the water

"No, no. I found this motel key."

Smirking Kaila remarks, "What were they doing at a motel?" while raising her eyebrows in a teasing matter. Ignoring her Pope replies to John B, "A key."

"Yes, a key Pope."

Sarcastically JJ says, "Great! We salvaged a motel key.". Looking at everyone Kie says, "Guys, we should report the wreck to the coast guard. Maybe we'll get a finders fee!"

JJ and Kaila both say, "Yeah, and not work all summer!"

"Thanks, Agatha, ya batch"
