I heard John B and Sarah whispering to each other,
I said" If you both wanna make it to the Bahamas, I'd suggest shutting up." They both laughed, I smiled,
Sarah said" Love you, Kai."
" Liar."
John B said" Love you, Kai."
" Love you too, Kook macker."
" Pogue macker." I smiled," Okay, can I please spoon you in the most platonic way, my back hurts."
" Come on." I climbed onto the bed and smiled at them,
" And how could John B not have an prospects... look at his smile." I slapped his cheek, smiling,
" Next time stay on the island."
" There's gonna be a next time?" He rolled his eyes, I smiled," I miss them already."
" I do too."

Sarah said" John B, someone's coming." John B put the gold away,
Captain said" Morning, lovebirds. Coming into port. Best not be onboard without a passport, if you know what I'm saying."
John B said" Yeah, I hear you."
" You guys can go on my bridge."
" Through here?"
" Mm-hmm."
" Okay." We started climbing up,
" Come on. Ya'll need to hustle."
" Hey, I really appreciate you, captain."
Sarah said" Thank you."
He said" Stay put. Don't come out."
I said" You got it. Thank you." We walked to the window,
John B said" What? Dudes, I've never been to a foreign country before."
Sarah said" Welcome to Nassau."
" Wow. It's beautiful."
" That is my family's house."
" Holy super Kook! I mean, maybe we could crash for a couple nights?"
" Hey, dad, I'm alive, by the way, and I'm also thinking about getting married. Can we crash?"
" Yeah, maybe search around the house for a couple things you might have left. Like the gold you stole from us."
" John B, we are fugitives."
" Yeah."
" In a foreign country."
" I get it. Yeah."
" We just have to be careful."
" Yeah. I got it. Don't worry about it." She looked at him, he looked back,
I said" Head inland. Find a place to hunker down for a while.... my mom's side has a house..."
Sarah said" Careful."
" Okay, mama bear." I put my hands up, I sighed," Got it." I saw cops come aboard, I gulped," Guys? I think he snitched. We gotta go, go, go." I checked the door, it was locked," John B, the window. Now!" I ran back up the stairs, John B broke the window, I climbed out and grabbed Sarah's hand, she jumped out. We jumped off the side and John B followed us, we climbed up onto the dock. We started running.

Sarah said" Left." We ran left,
John B said" Left." We ran left again and hit behind a wall, I breathed heavily, looking at them.
" Okay. I think I know of a place where we can hole up, okay?"
" Okay."
" Follow me." We started running again, where does she know?!

John B said" Sarah, are you sure about this?" We were walking up to a very fancy hotel, Fairmont, we stayed here a couple times on vacation.
Sarah said" It's the safest place for us to be."
" A five-star hotel."
" Trust me." We walked in,
" Looks a little spendy, no?"
" Just act like you know what you're doing." We walked further,
" Alright."
" And smile and say hi to people."
" Alright. Okay. Just-" John B and I walked more," Hi."
" Where are you going? We're going this way."
I said" Excuse us. Sorry." I smiled, we walked ahead," I hate people." John B smiled,
A man said" Excuse me. Excuse me. May I help you?"
Sarah said" Actually, yes. Do you have any bottled water? Maybe Voss, Fiji, or-"
" No."
" No, no. I- Oh." I grabbed a drink off a tray as did Sarah," Thank you. I am so parched. I cannot wait to get out of these clothes. What time is our reservation?"
John B said" Our reservation..."
" Yes, our reservation."
" Is at, uh, 4:30-ish."
The man said" Reservation?"
I said" Yes."
" You have a reservation?"
Sarah said" Yes. We have a harbor-view king on the third floor, and we've been patrons of your hotel for years. And I'll be very sure the manager knows of your hospitality, Elliot, thank you." I downed the drink as did John B, we put the glasses in his hand and chased after Sarah, I smiled.
John B said" You stay here?"
" Yeah. I mean, not anymore."
I said" Couple of vacations..." I smiled, and walked past, climbing the stairs as John B looked at me with disbelief.
