IT COMES AND GOES IN WAVES

(RESTITUTION, ARGUMENT AND DRESSES)

"Into the flood"

NO ONE'S POV-

JJ was sat in the sheriff's office when Peterkin walked in, "You are like a rock in my shoe. I shake my foot, I think I've gotten it out, then dang, there it is again." she said, "Maybe watch where you're stepping." "That little rock on the back of my heel makes me want to crush it." "Okay." "Unlawful discharge of a firearm. Trespass on protected habitat. Felony destruction of property. All in the last 2 weeks. You're on a roll, chief." "If you think I'm gonna rat anybody out, you got the wrong idea." "I know your little teen brain doesn't like to think ahead, but I want you to come with me to uncharted territory. The future. How you gonna feel 6 months from now, sitting in juvenile prison in Wadesboro? Do you know these 2?" she put 2 pictures in front of him. "My question was, do you know these 2?" "They broke into John B's house and then they chased us through the marsh. Other than that, I have no idea." "Here is a more recent photo. Somebody gaffed them, then used then for chum. Whatcha think, bull shark? Here's the bad news chief. Who ever killed these 2 is still out there and I got a reason to believe their next target is a friend of yours. John B. You kids don't think you're the only ones after the Royal Merchants. Do you? And yeah. I know about that too." "Okay Sheriff Peterkin, I can promise you he's not on it anymore." "So you say. I'm just trying to keep him safe. I want you to tell your friend John B to come in and talk to me. And then let's see if we can keep you out of Wadesboro." She left. JJ walked out and saw his dad, "You his guardian?" the woman asked, "Sorry to say, I am his father." "Well hearing will be in 2 weeks. If you fail to show up, you will forfeit your bail. The restitution will be on the average of 3 outside estimates of the cost of the damage article." "Restitution?" "Pay for what he broke. It's part of the plea. Yeah and sigh right there." The woman said, "Go get in the car. Now!" JJ walked outside. "I wonder what restitution's gonna be on a 2019 Malibu." Luke said to his son, "I'll pay it off. All of it. I swear dad." "Shit. 30K? When you gonna clear that up big guy, and all you do is smoke we and hang out on the south side? Huh? Get in the car." JJ sighed and then got into the car, "Dad I swear—" JJ was cut off by his dad punching him in the face. JJ was attempting to get his dad off him as he kept punching him and punching him. After Luke finally decided he was done beating his kid he pulled away from the police station and JJ looked out the window to see a familiar brunette girl standing there with tears in her eyes. JJ's eyes locked with hers and her hand went to her mouth making JJ put his head down. When they got home JJ went to his room and put music on as loud as possible to cover the screams from his father. "How you gonna get that money back? By sitting around and doing nothing? I'm gonna tell you right now, you are a worthless piece of shit." "Shut up!" JJ yelled, "Your mama knew." "Shut up!" "You tell me where you are gonna get 30 grand now! Get your ass in here!" around 10 minutes later JJ heard nothing so he assumed that his father had passed out and her left the house.

SJ had just woken up the memories from yesterday bringing a smile to her face until she heard the sound of her sisters voice outside. "Where is she?" "In—" "I'm here!" she burst through the door. The 2 looked at her, "Where were you yesterday?" "We went to look for some more stuff about the Merchant." "Oh and you didn't tell us? Me?!" "I didn't think I had too!" "Well I'm sorry I care." "What was there to miss anyway?" "Oh a lot!" "Like what huh? A movie? Popcorn?" "No like me almost fucking dying! JJ taking the blame for something Pope fucking did!" MJ cried, "wh—" "Yeah, you missed a lot." "MJ. I'm sorry. I--" "Yeah whatever, you two were probably fucking in a truck." She walked into her room. "Well I'm going to the school to and figure something out. You coming SJ?" "No I think MJ needs me more right now and we both have to be at Kie's too soon." John B nodded and walked out.
