"Alright, JJ. Pin it here." John B hollers.
"Roger that! X marks the spot." JJ replies, shifting the transmission of Heyward's boat in neutral.
"Alright, ladies and gentlemen..." John B grabs ahold of the 360 drone, "to going full Kook!"
JB plops the drone into the calm waters as Pope begins steering it from the control panel. Kiara stands by the tether, slowly easing it into the water. Lioana leans up against the wall under the helm, with JJ.
"Alright, JJ, we're right over it. Ten seconds northwest."
"Got it!" JJ spins the wheel, "Ten seconds northwest."
"One hundred feet," Kie announces, making a hash mark with chalk on the edge of the boat.
"So... how's my girlfriend?" JJ looks in Lio's direction, giving her a smirk.
"She's okay," Lio begins.
JJ holds out his arms for her to come to him, and she complies. Her arms wrap around him, his arms resting on her shoulders, holding the steering wheel behind her.
"And now she's better," JJ kisses Lio's forehead.
"And to quote The Hobbit, 'Down, down to Goblin Town. Down, down, you go, my lad'." Pope strangely says.
"What the fuck was that?" Lio laughs into JJ's chest and he just shrugs his shoulders.
"Four hundred feet" Kie makes another mark with the chalk. "The tide's turning."
"Hey, JJ?" John B looks down at the monitor in his hands.
"Yup?"
"Ten seconds easy, alright? South-southeast."
"Copy that!" JJ replies, spinning the boat in the opposite direction in which it faced.
"JJ, twenty seconds, mid-speed, alright? South."
"Copy that," JJ brings his body closer to Lio's. "Come on!"
"Aye, aye, Captain!" Lio hollers towards John B, making a smile appear on JJ's face.
"Keep the tether out of the prop!" JJ yells towards Kie.
"I'm trying!" She replies, struggling to keep the tether in line.
"JJ, keep going!" John B hollers.
"That's what she said..." Lio mumbles quietly.
"John B, is that good?" JJ asks, still laughing at Lio's comment.
"We're good, we're good!"
"Okay, seven hundred feet!" Kiara announces, continuing to release the tether into the ocean.
"JJ..." Lio looks around at the other Pogues, who all have concerned looks upon their faces. "This weather isn't turning out."
"I see that," JJ replies, looking up at the clouds that hold the rumbling thunder.
