CHAPTER TEN dreams happen through determination ▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃
ON JOHN B'S DOCK, the five teens were lounging listening to kiara playing her ukelele. dakota laid on the floor of the dock gazing into the water, the moonlight reflecting onto it. they began discussing the four hundred million that they can potentially find.
jj sighed, "all right, let's talk the split." he moved his feet so he could sit up straight and focus his attention onto his friends. "now before we say evenly," he continued, "may i remind you that i am the only one that can properly defend us from those groupers who were after us. protection? not cheap, okay?" he waved his gun in the air to 'prove' his point.
dakota scoffed from her position laying on the floor of the dock. looking up to meet jj's eyes, she objected. "if by protecting us means never having the gun when we need it than yeah, you should get more money."
"you haven't trained." pope deadpanned. "you've done zero training."
"youtube, bro!" jj exclaimed in defense. "that's at least a five percent bump right there. any objections? didn't think so."
dakota raised her hand high in the air in injection as did kiara, however, jj didn't acknowledge them. "i don't hear any, so..."
kiara turned her attention toward pope. "what are you gonna do with your eighty mil, pope?"
pope stayed in thought for a couple seconds before answering, "pay for college in advance. and also, textbooks. those are expensive."
"what about you, kie?" jj questioned.
"yeah, what does a socialist do when she's rich?" pope taunted kiara.
kiara chuckled, "just wanna make a double album. about obx, the pogues. you know, the way catch a fire is about kingston. record it at marley studio, peter tosh producing."
"peter tosh is dead." pope interrupted.
"peter tosh is dead i know," she nodded. "spirit of peter tosh will never die."
looking up at kiara, dakota pointed at her with a serious look on her face. "i better be the first one to hear the album."
kiara smiled at her, "i'll make sure you are."
"i know what i'll do." jj announced. "i'm gonna get a big ass house on figure eight and go full kook." he grinned in thought.
"you're gonna go full kook?" pope laughed.
"yup," jj smiled widely. "gonna get a marble statue of myself, and then i'm gonna get a koi pond. put a bunch of those fish—"
