"Excuse me"

Trying to get the attention of the very obvious overwhelmed guard, Kiara tries to talk calmly but he blatantly ignores her. Sighing she moves to go stop JJ from stealing anything while John B takes her place.

"Put it back!" Kaila whispers to JJ hoping he can hear her over all the noise in the room after seeing him pick something up.

Seeing that he won't oblige she snatches it out of his hand and puts it down. Looking over at John B she sees that his attempts to get any answers out the guard failed. Defeated John B walks over so that they can reunite with everyone else.

Grabbing JJ's hand Kai pulls him along so that he can't try to steal something again.

Noticing that his other hand is free JJ snatches the item she took from him and sneakily puts it in his pocket.

"So, what's the plan?"

Raising the motel key up for everyone to see John B replies, "I know how we're gonna find the guy who owns this boat."

"We don't know whose room that is. It could be anyone."

"For once Pope, I agree with John B. We would find more information at the motel than if we sat around and waited for the coast guard to do it." Kai replied while finally letting go of JJ's hand. With his free hand JJ tosses Kie the key saying, "I'm in".

"Come on. I'll be lookout"

"I'll go with these two to make sure they don't do something stupid"

Tapping Pope's shoulder John B says, "Finder's Fee. Just sayin" walking around he turns around and continues, "And, hey, at least you'll only be an accomplice."

"Man.."

"Come on Bubba"

"I thought the Château looked bad."

"This place is a shitshow."

"Motel or Meth lab?"

"You be the judge"

"Meth lab most definitely"

Looking at the Château Kaila says, "Doesn't look like the type of place someone that owns a Grady-White would stay."

"No. Looks like a place someone with a Grady-White would get killed."

Pretending to speak on a radio JJ says, "This is your captain speaking. HMS Pogue common' in for landing."

"We good"

"Yeah. We're good"

Leaning forward on the window Pope points at JJ and turns to John B and Kaila, "Hey"

"Huh"

"Yes"

"Don't let him do anything stupid." Replying to him JJ says to him, "Oh, we will."

"I'm not making any promises."

"Yeah, I know"

"I got them Pope, it's fine" Kai says

Looking over Kai sees Kiara hand John B the keys.

"Uh, be careful..I mean it"

"Yeah"

✍︎︎

Grabbing onto his shoulder JJ imitates Kiara saying, "Just be so careful John B"

Pushing him away John B reply's, "God, you're so weird."

"What was that all about?"

"I don't know maybe she wants to be careful."

"Sure. Us.."

"Since she heard you being threatened with exile, she just been, like," Grabbing his shoulders once again JJ continues, "Oh! Be so careful, John B"

"Get off"

Jumping on JJ's back Kai and JJ both say, "Oh, give me that John D already."

"When are you gonna swoop on that, man?"

"Bro, you know the rule. No Pogue-on-Pogue macking."

Looking at JJ, Kai says, "Rules are made to be broken."

Pointing at the both of them he continues talking, "You guys are the ones always hitting on her"

"I'm hitting on her cause she's my ex the fuck you expect me to do?"

"Of course I'm hitting on her. She's a super-hot, rich, hippie chick slumming with us."

"Why? I can't figure it out either, but who cares, bro?"

Whispering JJ leans closer to John B and says, "So is Kai!"

Moving her head on top of JJ's Kaila says, " She's hotter than both of you anyway."

"Plus, if she was to get with any of us, it would be me."

"I know that doors locked because I've tried it. Have you?"

"You need help. Not a little bit of help, a lot of help"

Jumping down Kai yells, "You shouldn't be talking John B!" before walking off in front of them.

Turning to him John B moves his hands around saying, "It's like every girl who just has a heartbeat, you're like..."Uhhh!"

"Especially Kaila! You check her out every five seconds bro!" noticing JJ watching you walk away he continues, "You checking her right now!"

"It's not a big deal."

"Is that us? okay"

"This is it."

"Okay"

Knocking on the door JJ jokingly says, "Housekeeping" in a high pitched voice. Not getting a response they all move towards the window.

"Should we try it"

"Yeah"
