Somehow JJ convinced John B to steal his boss. And somehow as well, he convinced John B to let me come again.

I'm not complaining, being with the pogues is cool, we spend a good time together.

"This is empty. You took empty tanks?" Kie asks.

"I can't believe this." I say.

"Ok, this one's a quarter full." Kie says, checking the tanks. "It's enough for one of us."

"Love it when a plan comes together." Pope says sarcastically.

"Does anybody know how to dive?" Kie asks.

"Anybody?" she asks again after a few seconds of silence.

"It's kind of a kook sport." JJ says.

"I... read about it." Pope says.

"Great. Pope read about it. So someone's gonna die." Kie says.

"I already read about it as well." I say.

"It doesn't help." Kie says.

"Look. You put the thing in your mouth and breathe. How hard could it be?" JJ says.

"If you come up too fast, nitrogen gets into your blood and you get the bends." Pope explains.

"Bends like... bend over and-" JJ says.

"The bends kill you." I say.

"Right." JJ says.

"I can- I can dive." John B says.

"No you can't. You're not gonna do it, you don't even know how to do it." I say.

"Nobody here does." John B says.

"Let me do some calculations real quick." Pope says.

"That boat's about 30 feet down. So it'll take 25 minutes and that depth." Pope says.

"Okay." John B says.

"Which means you need to do your safety spot at about ten feet. All right? For two minutes." Pope says.

"Yeah yeah. Ten feet, two minutes. Got it." John B says.

Then all of a suden Kie jumped in the water without saying anything.

"What was that all about?" Pope asks.

"I don't know. But I liked it. A lot." JJ says.

Of course he would say that. He wouldn't say it if it was me, though.

"Uh so..." JJ says.

"All right." John B says.

"Uh- yeah. When you- uh. When you're down there, you look for the cargo hold." JJ says. "You stick this thing inside and twist and pull, okay?"

"Stick in, twist, pull." John B repeats.

"Hey! I tied my T-shirt to the anchor chain about ten feet down. It's where you need to do your safety stop." Kie says when she came back.

"Cool." John B says.

"Keep an eye on this. You need to make sure yoi have enough air to decompress." Pope says handing something to John B.

"Okay, how much do I need?" John B asks.

"Unclear. Breathe as little as possible." Pope says.

"Hey, if we get caught in the marsh we're basically screwed so... Better get a move on." Pope says.
