(GRADY-WHITE, MOTEL AND HEIGHTS)

"It takes control"

NO ONE'S POV-

"Guys I think there's a boat down there." Pope told them, "Shut up." John B said, "No way." "Don't lie Pope." "Come on man." "No guys I am serious there is a boat down there. For real." Milly stood next to him, "It's a boat!" "Holy shit you're are right. Let's go." MJ smiled and took off her dress, "Yeah!" SJ laughed, removing her long t-shirt, "Down I go." Mil slipped her shorts of and they dived in. All three of the boys eyebrows were up and eyes were wide, "Come on guys. They aren't meat." Kie said before diving into the marsh and the boys followed along after finally taking their eyes off 'their' girls. "You think there's a dead body down there?" Pope asked. After they were all in they swam down to the boat and began to look around even though it was quite hard to see. After losing their breathes both SJ and John B pushed of the roof, Milly and Pope swam up, MJ pulled on JJ's arm and they swam up and Kie had already gotten to the top. "You guys saw that right?" SJ asked excitedly, "Yeah." They replied. "That is a Grady White. A new one of those is like 500 Gs easy." Milly told them. They all clambered into the boat, drying off. "That's a primo rig." JJ moved his hair from his face, "Yeah that's the boat I saw when I surfed the surge. Maybe it hit the jetty or something" John B told them, "You surfed the surge?" Kie asked, "Oh yeah they did." Pope smiled, "That's my boy. Pogue style." JJ laughed, "Wait. They?" Milly was confused, "When John B kept falling off but MJ didn't. That was awesome" Pope laughed but soon stopped when MJ was giving him a death glare, "pope" MJ sighed. "You did what?!" JJ raise his voice, "JJ stop...." "No! I have told you to be careful out on the waves many times, and that was when there was no storm! So, you now go and decide to go into the surge?! You must be out of your mind! Are you!? Oh my god! Why do I even bother trying to help you?!" he ended up shouting, "wow" MJ pushed past him and went to the other end of the boat, "MJ wait. I'm sorr—" MJ stuck her hand out to stop him talking and he walked back. "Wait do we know who's boat that is?" Pope asked, "No but we are about to find out." John B said, "Dude it's too deep." JJ told him, "Yeah you can't go down." SJ was concerned for his safety. "Oh for the weak and feeble, JJ. SJ." John B pulled out the anchor from the hatch, "Well I'm not resuscitating you. I'm just making that clear up front." JJ told him, "That's fine." "John B." "What?" he chuckled at SJ being all protective over him. "Diver down boy" Pope said to him, "Diver down." John B held the anchor, "Yeah he is." JJ pushed him back with him still holding the anchor, "That had to hurt." SJ said looking into the water. "Should we go and get him?" Pope asked, "I think we sh—" SJ was cut off by John B appearing from the water. "Oh my god that took forever!" Kie said, "Any dead bodies?" "Looting potential?" "No. No. I found this motel key." John B held the key up, "A key." Pope asked disappointed, "Yea, a key Pope." "Great! We salvaged a motel key." JJ said very sarcastically. "Milly start the boat up." Pope said and she smiled and nodded, starting the boat, and riving after John B got in. "Guys, we should report this to a coast guard." Kie told them, "Maybe we will get a finder's fee." Milly shrugged. "Yeah and not work all summer. Thanks Agatha ya batch." JJ said. They arrived at the coast guard station and only JJ, John B and SJ went in, it was really crowded, and they tried to get the guards attention but there was no avail. They walked out, John B making sure SJ was in front of him and okay, since she was so short, she could get lost anywhere. "That did not go well." SJ told them, "But I think I know how we are going to find who owns that boat." John B held up the key. "No we don't know whose room that is. It could be anyone's." Pope stressed, "Come on." JJ threw the key's to Kie, "Come on. I'll be lookout with Milly." They finally got Pope to join them and they walked back to the boat where MJ was still sitting, "What did you find?" she asked, "Nothing. But we are going to the motel." JJ replied, "John B? SJ?" she ignore the blonde boy, "Nope. But we are going to the motel." SJ told her, "Cool." MJ nodded. Milly slowed down as they got closer to the 'motel' "I thought the Chateau looked bad." JJ whistled. "This place is a shitshow." John B said and SJ laughed, taking his cap off and putting it on her own head. "Motel or meth lab?" Kie questioned. "Meth lab." Milly replied, "Doesn't look like a place somebody with a Grady-White stays." JJ said, "No looks like a place where someone with a Grady-White would get killed." Pope wrapped his arm around Milly's waist trying to ease any tension. "Happy thought Pope." MJ said to him. "Here we go. This is your captain speaking. HMS Pogue coming in for landing." JJ jumped off and tied the boat to the dock, "We good?" "Yeah we're good." "Alright here goes nothing." John B went to walk off when Pope stopped him, "Hey. Do not let him do anything stupid." "Oh we will." JJ replied, "I'm making no promises." John B said, "Wait I think MJ should go with you. Keep JJ on the low." Milly said, "You know that will double the trouble right?" John B asked, "MJ you coming?" JJ asked and the girl rolled her eyes stepping off the boat and stood by him. "Uh. Be careful. I mean it." SJ said to John B making him blush slightly, "Yeah." He walked off with the other 2 and they went to find the room. "Why are there all these mattresses out here?" John B asked, "After a hurricane they ditch them because they are mouldy." JJ told him. MJ walked ahead of the 2 but still listened to their conversation. "Just be so careful, John. God you are so weird." John shoved him away. "Dude what was that about?" "I don't maybe she wants us to be careful." "Since she heard you are all being exiled she's just been like, 'Oh! Be so carful John B. Oh just give me that John D already' when are you gonna swoop up on that man?" "Bro you know the rule, no pogue-on-pogue macking—" "Hey! Stop talking about my sister like that okay!" MJ turned to them. "damn. Chill." They muttered. "What about Kie?" JJ asked, "What about her?" "I think she like you too." "No she doesn't an besides you are always 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? I know that door is locked because I've tried it. Have you?" "You need help." John B said to him, "I agree. You need major help." MJ nodded, "You don't mean that." JJ looked at the girl, "Oh I do. It's like every girl who just has a heartbeat you're like... 'Uhh!'" she said to him, "I mean it's not a big deal." MJ went to reply with John B said, "Is that us? 29. Here." "Okay." JJ went up to the door and knocked in it in some crazy ass beat, "Housekeeping." He said in a high voice. "Should we try the key?" MJ asked, "Yeah. No power. No security cameras. No one's gonna know." Opening the door they walked in, "boring!" MJ said. "Check the bag see if there is any names." John B said, shutting the door, they began to look around. "A jacket..." "Denim slides...." "No name on the jacket. It's a nice jacket thou—" "JJ. Don't" MJ warned. "Definitely over 50. He's got new balances." As the guys looked around his clothes MJ looked at the papers on the side. "Yo guys come here. Maybe this is where they were fishing." She said. "Right there." JJ pointed to the orange sticky note. "No that's off the continental shelf. That's the big swell. Nobody fishes there." "Okay." They looked around more, "Coffee?" John B asked in a British accent, "Or maybe a spot of tea?" MJ said britishly too, "Standard. Tissues for when you get lonely." JJ also said like a Brit. "You'll be needing them soon JJ." MJ joked. "Ooh!" JJ said, "Did you find something?" John B asked looking at the safe he found. " A really awesome Dopp kit you won't let me steal." "Yeah 'cause we are not stealing shit." JJ put something in his pocket. MJ sat on the bed whilst John tried to get into the safe.

"Biggest pet peeve?" Kie asked them all, Milly and Pope were the only ones paying attention, SJ was looking at the motel for any sign of any of the 3. "Yeah." "Easy. Giving 1% to the environment." Kie said, "What's wrong with that?" Mil asked, "We only have one earth dumbo. We should be giving it 100% bare minimum." "Right that's not fiscally sound." Pope told her, "Neither is destroying the planet we have to live on." Kie shot back. "guys. Guys! The popo have arrived." SJ stood up, "Don't stand up. Someone call them." Kie pulled her down, "Towers are down." Milly said, "If I lose my merit scholarship, I'm gonna kill someone." They got off the boat and watched, "Maybe they aren't going up there. Maybe they are looking for a room." Pope stressed. "They're going up. He's pointing." They said and 4 ran over to the back of the motel to try and warn their friends.

John B was still trying the safe, MJ was still lying on the bed and JJ walked out, "Punching shit at random. That will... definitely work." JJ went back to the paperwork; John B took a small piece of paper with numbers on it and put the code into the safe. '61666' he pressed enter completely ignoring JJ. The safe opened and John B couldn't believe what he saw, "Uh.... JJ? MJ? You are gonna wanna see this." He held up a huge wad of cash.

The 4 were now at the back trying to get their attention, "Okay do something." Kie said, "Yeah anything." Milly encouraged. "Go go." Pope panted throwing up a stone but missed the window completely. "Did you ever play baseball?" Kie asked, "I was on the math team." Pope defended himself.

"Don't grab the gun. You grabbed the gun." MJ said stepping away, the night her parents died flashing her eyes, "Whoa. This is a SIG Sauer." JJ held onto it, "Put the gun down JJ!" John B told him. "This is a fucking spendy gatt man. Just bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!" JJ fake shot. "Hey think about it! We are not stealing anything!" John B told him.

"A mathlete?" Kie asked Pope picking up a rock throwing it a missing again, "Hey where is SJ?" Milly asked they all looked around and then up to the room again seeing SJ climbing up, "Guys go to the boat and get it all ready. I'll get these 3." She said and they nodded running off.

"Just take a pic of me. Right here." JJ told him posing, "You want me to take a picture of you? Make our own incriminating evidence? Is that what you are talking about?" John B asked and there was a knock at the window, MJ looked out the blinds, "It's SJ!" she whisper shouted, opening the window SJ said, The cops are coming. Get out of here. This way." She waved her hand and they followed her out shutting the window, JJ and MJ going to the right and John and SJ going left. They were now waiting on the roof part since they couldn't jump down now because the cops would hear them jump off. They all looked back to the 3 on the boat who were waving at them to come down. They guys were on the edge making sure that the 2 girls wouldn't fall. John B held SJ as close as he could before looking round the wall into the room to se the cops in there. MJ always hated heights just like her sister and the 2 knew it. JJ knew MJ hated him at the moment, but he slipped his hand into hers to make her feel okay. John B however was holding onto SJ by the waist and he held her as close to him as possible. JJ went to take out the gun he did but it slipped from his hands and it dropped down onto the garbage cans and made a huge noise. This made the guys clutch onto 'their' girls even tighter. John B wrapped both hands around SJ and JJ gripped MJ's hand and put the other of his hands on the back of her head. This also got the cops attention, the deputy sheriff looked out of the window thankfully seeing nothing before walking away. The 4 jumped down, MJ literally throwing herself onto JJ, "whoa!" "Thank you JJ." She breathed out, her heart racing. She looked over to her sister and saw that John B had his hand on her lower back, "Ah. Ah. Ah. No touching my baby sister." She pushed between them, "By 4 fricking minutes!" SJ groaned pushing MJ forward and into the boat. They drove down the marsh. "That was fun. Could have warned us sooner." JJ told them, "We would have—" Kie cut Mil off, "—except Pope was on the math team." "You were on the math team?"
