Winifred Routledge X JJ maybank

CHAPTER 4

Once we got to the sheriffs department. John B, JJ and I went to go tell them about what we found in the marsh. There were so many people talking at the same time, it was hard to get their attention

"He's a... he's a diabetic!" A lady yelled

"Excuse me, s-sir?" I tried getting the mans attention

"Hey, man, we... we found a boat" John B said

"You're gonna wanna hear this" JJ said from beside me. We both looked at each other and shrugged

"Hey! Calm down" the man said, trying to get everyone to stop talking.

I watch as JJ picks up a pen from a box and starts to play with it.

"Sir please, your gonna want to hea-" before I could finish the man cuts me off

"We're not worried about your boat right now, okay?"

John B motions up to leave so we start to head out, I grab the pen out of JJs hands and put it down.

"Well, that went well" JJ said playing with the pen I took as we get back to pope and kie

"Really?" I roll my eyes

"What they were free" JJ shrugged at me

"So, what's the plan?" Pope said. We all look around in silence.

"I know how we're gonna find the guy who owns that boat" John B said showing us the keys

"We don't know whose room that is. It could be anyone" pope protest. John B threw JJ the key who threw them to me.

"I'm down" I said catching it with one hand

"Come on. We'll be lookout" Kiara said to pope.

"And, hey, at least you'll only be an accomplice"

"Come on bubba" I said swinging an arm around pope who just groaned and rolled his eyes.

"I thought the chèatue looked bad" JJ whistles

"Hey that's my home" I said slapping his chest

"This place is a shitshow" John B sighed

"Motel or meth lab?" Pope said

"You be the judge" Kiara replied.

"Doesn't look like a place somebody with a Grady-White stays" I said shaking my head

"No. Looks like a place someone with a Grady-White would get killed"

The more we got closer to the motel, the more I was dreading stepping near the place.

"This is your captain speaking. HMS Pogue comin' in for landing" JJ said jumping off the boat and tying it off so it doesn't float away.

"Whoo!"

"We good?" John B asked JJ

"Yep we good"

"All right. Here goes nothin'"

As I walk to the front of the boat to get down, JJ give me a hand.

"Thank you, we better not die because I'm not ready for hell" I said, giving them a warning finger

"I'll protect you princess" JJ said giving me a wink and a smirk

"Lets do this thing" John B said jumping off the boat.

"Hey, don't let them do anything stupid" pope said pointing to JJ and I. I put my hand over my heart as if I was hurt.

"Oh we will" JJ said, I put my arm around his neck and bring him closer as rub my fist in his hair to shut him up.
