"yeah. uh, when you— uh, when you're down there you look for the cargo hold. you stick this thing inside and twist and pull, okay?" JJ showed John B the key demonstrating the twist and pull.

"stick in, twist, pull." John B repeated, "yeah."

Caroline swam back up after tying her shirt ten feet down to the anchor chain turning to the boys, "hey! i tied my T-shirt to the anchor chain about ten feet down. it's where you need to do your safety stop."

"cool."

"keep an eye on this. you need to make sure you have enough air to decompress." Pope told John B tapping on the meter.

"okay, how much do i need?" asked John B.

"unclear. breathe as little as possible." Pope replied.

"zen. think zen, you know?" JJ imitates breathing through the mask. "yeah, got it"

Caroline climbed back on the boat with the help of Kiara who then walked over to John B.

"hey, if we get caught in the marsh, we're basically screwed, so.. better get a move on." Pope told John B.

"copy that." John B replied getting ready to jump in the water.

Caroline grabbed the towel wiping her face seeing Kie kiss John B on the cheek, her eyes widened looking at the other two boys are have the same facial expression as the girl.

"diver down?"

"diver down."

everyone waved at John B going down, Caroline set her towel down so the sun could dry it as JJ walked over to her eyeing her up and down.  feeling her cheeks heat up a bit tossing her bag to the corner sitting down at the bow with Kie, the girls talked quietly hearing sirens looking over.

"shit. JJ." Pope says standing up.

"guys, that's the police." JJ said moving over to the wheel of the HMS.

Caroline reached over to JJ's bag grabbing one of his shirts slipping it on as stood up standing next to JJ.

"oh, you gotta be kidding me." Pope replied.

"Just act frickin' normal." Kie says fixing her hair.

"evening, officers." Pope greeted.

"evening." Shoupe replied, parking the boat next to the HMS as the other officer tossed the rope over to tie it off.

"JJ, tie this off." Pope handed the rope to JJ who tied the rope around the cleat tightly.

"how you kids doing? you know the marsh is closed?" Shoupe questioned the four teens.
