Kie and I are at the dock waiting for Pope to show up. John B's grand plan is to strand Kie, Sarah, and I on a boat in the marsh. He's convinced that Kie and Sarah will be friends by tomorrow morning. I say there's a fifty-fifty chance one ends up with a black eye.
Pope pulls up in the Pogue. "Code red!"
"What the hell is going on?" Kie asks.
"Okay, JJ and John B conked out in the marsh. They need a tow," Pope explains.
Kie and I hop in the boat.
"Uh, okay, well, what does that have to do with us?" Kie questions.
"We need you for mechanical," Pope reasons.
I nod my head. "Mechanical."
We head out to the marsh where they're "stuck".
"John B and JJ are up in the Alp," Pope tells us.
"Can't you guys do anything without me?" Kie questions.
Kie and I get on the boat and find JJ and John B looking over the engine.
"What happened?" Kie asks.
"Uh, the alternator's, uh, not alternating anymore," JJ tells her.
"It's not charged," John B states.
"Did you check the plugs?" Kie asks.
"No. No, you should check 'em," JJ says as he hands the screwdriver to Kie.
"Give it a whirl," John B tells her.
"You guys are useless," Kie tells them.
Kie and I both bend down to look at the engine.
"Sorry about that," John B says.
"Uh... is this a joke? There are no plugs, like, at all," Kie states.
I hear a splash and run out to the back of the boat.
"Shit." Kie stops when she hears bounding on the hold.
"John B, let me out! John B!" Sarah shouts. Kie lets her out. "What? Wait."
Kie shouts at the guys. "Are you serious!"
"Are you joking? Get your asses back here!" Kie yells.
"We can't. Not you two figure it out," John B tells us.
"I will kill every single one of you!" Kie threatens.
"Y-You can't just leave!" Sarah shouts.
"What did I do to deserve this?" I ask.
"There's food in the cabin, and JJ rolled a blunt," Pope tells us.
"Hydroponic!" JJ shouts.
"JJ I am going to beat the crap out of you!" Kie threatens.
"Love you to!" JJ shouts back.
"This is ridiculous," Sarah says as he starts to take her clothes off.
"Well, I would rather drown than stay here with you, so..." Kie trails off as she takes her shirt off.
"Fine, be my guest. Maybe you'll finally shut the hell up," Sarah remarks.
"You don't even know where you're going," I tell her.
"I don't care," Sarah says before jumping onto the water.
"Good luck with the oyster beds," Kie tells her.
"Wait!" Sarah shouts.
The boys start to leave. "Godspeed!"
