Pogue's way of life ~JJ FanFic

Episode One - Four

Now we are all safe on the boat heading back to John B's place.  I was still drinking the beer JJ had given me trying to calm my nerves from almost getting caught. "You could have warned us sooner," JJ said to Poke and Kie from where he sat next to me.

"We would have except Pope was on the math team," Kie said in response

"You were on the math team?" JJ questioned Pope

"The cops took everything like it was a crime scene." John B said looking out across the water."Did you guys find anything?" Pope asked, steering the boat.

"Did we find anything?" Jj said as he picked up his backpack. " No, I don't think so. Oh, yeah, we did" he pulled out the gun he had taken along with a stack of cash, which i didn't know he had taken until now.

"What the hell?" Pope said, looking at JJ like he had lost his mind. "Dude, chill. Come on." JJ was acting as if him taking a gun and a stack of money was normal and not completely crazy. "I can't believe you took that after I told you to put it back," I said getting up from my spot next to JJ and started walking towards the back of the boat.

"Better than cops having it," JJ said placing the money and gun back in the bag not taking his eyes off me. I was now sitting behind Pope blocking out what he was saying and just focusing on the water moving around the boat. The water just looks so peaceful, going with the flow and always reconnecting even after something comes through chopping it and separating. Reminding me of our group, always having each other back knowing that no matter how stupid we are including stealing a gun from a crime scene we will always be there when we need each other.

We had decided to make a pit stop in town on the way back to get some supplies when we saw a woman crying over a body. John b turned to a girl who was also watching the scene unfold. "Who's that?"

"It's Scooter Grubbs. He was out during the storm," she said turning to face John B

"Check out this pic I got." she continued holding out her phone for him to see. I closed my eyes not wanting to risk seeing it. suddenly I felt two arms wrap around me from behind, I looked up to see that JJ was standing behind me and was now resting his chin on my head. I relaxed into his body allowing his warmth to comfort me.

"Dead body," Kie said

Insane.

Holy shit.

"What kind of boat did he have?" JJ asked, not releasing his grip on me.

"Somehow, that dirtbag copped a brand-new Grady-White. " she said turning her head towards JJ that back to john B

"Everyone's out looking for it." she continued shoving her phone back into her pocket. We all looked at each other knowingly.

--------

We were all sitting back at the doc outside John B's place, no one was talking trying to think of what we should do. Until Pope spoke "Okay so... Um ... we didn't see anything" he said looking around at all us. "We don't know anything," he said with emphasis. "We need to have total and complete amnesia"

"Actually, Pope's right for once," JJ said standing up from the spot he was sitting. "See I agree with you sometimes," he said, walking past Pope to stand in front of all of us. " deny, deny, deny," JJ continued. "Guys we can't keep the money" Kie injected.

JJ turned to face her slightly mad. "Not all of us can afford unlimited data plans" which was true, I know we shouldn't keep the money but still it would make such a big difference to us, sometimes I think Kie don't fully understand how we live. She has a safety net we don't.
