"First, Brizo almost gets strangled to death by Kooks, then I got beaten up also by Kooks and now I'm on the hook for 30 grand. We should just dip" JJ suggested.

They took the HMS Pogue and drove away through the marsh. They were now far from the Château, catching up about everything that had been going on. Brizo was leaning on a trunk of a fallen tree and JJ was beside her. John B was just standing in front of the couple.

Brizo put one of JJ's bandanas on her hair, to keep it off her face, being careful that it could still hide the hickeys on her neck.

"Okay, where do you wanna go? Hm?" John B asked.

"Yucatan" JJ shrugged. Brizo smiled. Since they were kids, Yucatan had always been JJ's plan to escape from the Outer Banks.

"Yucatan" John B repeated with zero enthusiam.

"No, I'm dead serious right now. Surf all day, and then we can just live off lobsters we catch with our bare hands"

"It doesn't sound too bad" Brizo smiled at JJ.

"You just wanna leave cause you got your ass beat?"

"Did you just ignore the part where I almost get strangled to death?" Brizo asked her twin who just rolled his eyes.

"You didn't see the photos" JJ stated. Aparently, sheriff Peterkin had shown him the pictures of the two men who robbed their house.

She couldn't understand how a cop did that. JJ was a minor held in custody without a legal guardian present and she questioned him and showed him photos of corpses. Brizo was sure that was illegal.

"Think about it. They're willing to kill for the gold, then it's gotta be out there" John B didn't want to change his mind.

"Have you lost your mind, JB? Have you thought about the possibility that maybe the gold isn't out there but nobody knows it? Cause if you think about it, who the hell has ever seen that shit?"

"It wasn't in the Merchant, so it means somebody took it! It has to be somewhere!"

"One hundred years, man. One hundred years, people have been trying to find this Royal Merchant and no one succeeded. And you think you are gonna be the one that actually finds it?" JJ chuckled. "When will you get it in your thick skull? If you keep going down this road, you're gonna end up just like your dad!"
