"What about the DCS? Wasn't that today?"
"Nah, they're not gettin' on a ferry."

Holy shit." John B says, staring at a tv. "What?" I ask, walking up to him and putting my arm around his shoulder. "Oh, crap." I whisper to myself.
Hurricane Agatha, coming in the same day DCS was supposed to do John B's assessment, kinda a blessing for him.
John B and I walk outside to hear the hurricane sirens going off.
"Hey, Howie." I wave. John B takes his phone out of his pocket and calls DCS "Yeah, uh... I think we're probably gonna have to reschedule." John B says with a smile on his face.

I wake up on John B's pull out couch again, with JJ's arms wrapped around my waist. "JJ?" I ask "hmm" he hums "Just checking to see if you're awake." "Well i'm awake now." He groans "Okay well-." I start to get up off the bed, JJ pulls me back down "That doesn't mean you can get up." He snuggles his head in the crook of my neck.
"Yo, JJ, you been outside?" John B asked, hitting JJ in the side. "I have polio, bro. I cant walk." JJ says, his head still in the crook of my neck.
"Maybe we should check outside." I say "No, please." JJ groans again "You're warm." "Stop being a baby." I say, unwrapping myself from his arms.
I get off the pullout couch and JJ does the same. "Nice shirt, babe." I roll my eyes at the comment. I look down and see myself in JJ's sleeveless shirt. "Let's go." I huff and walk outside.
"Agatha did some work, huh?" JJ said, his arm wrapped around my waist. "Yeah, she did." John B burped, throwing branches off the 'HMS Pogue'.
JJ and I walked down towards John B. "Whatcha thinking?" JJ asked "I'm thinkin' that the storm surge pushed all the crabs out on the marsh maze." John B said, getting into the boat. "All those drum are gonna chase the crab." "Ugh, I hate crab." I stated "And you're weird for that." John B commented.
"What about the DCS? Wasn't that today?" JJ asked, he was right. DCS was coming today. "Nah, they're not gettin' on a ferry." John B denied "Come on, think about it. It's God telling us to fish."
••• •••• •••
"Good morning." I say waving to everyone out on the docks "Sure hope Guffy's boat didn't sink." JJ says "he doesn't have insurance."
"Hi, Miss Amy! You guys get through it?" John B waved "Still here." she replied "She totally looked at me." JJ smiled "I saw it." John B agreed. "Who even cares?" I said "Someone jealous?" JJ asked "Hell no, i'm just saying, not every girl thinks your attractive."
"So you're saying i'm not attractive." He smirks "Maybe, maybe not." I cross my arms "That's a total no. You definitely think i'm attractive." JJ smiles.
"Look who we have here." John B says, referring to Pope filling up a. bucket with a hose. "We have a safety meeting. Attendance mandatory."
"I can't. My pop's got me on lockdown." Pope says "Come on, man." JJ says "Your dad's a pussy, over." JJ said imitating a radio. I hit JJ's chest "What?" He says.
"Oh, I heard that, you little bastard." Mr Heyward said. "Hey Mr Heyward, how's it going?" I ask "Good, hopefully you can convince Pope to stay and help?" He says "Sorry, no can do." I purse my lips
"We need your son." John B yells "Yeah, and Island rules. Day after a hurricane's a free day." JJ says
"Who da hell, made that up?" Heyward asked "Uh... Pentagon, i think. We have security clearance." JJ made up, I looked away so i wouldn't laugh.
