"Code red!" Pope yelled.

"What the hell is going on?" Kiara asked as her and Evelyn walked down the dock toward the boat Pope was in.

"JJ and John B conked out in the marsh," Pope said, "They need a tow."

"And what exactly does that have to do with us?" Evelyn asked.

"We need you guys for mechanical," Pope shrugged.

"Mechanical?" Kiara questioned.

"I hate to break it to you Pope but I do not have a mechanical bone in my body. I don't even know how to put air in the tires of my car," Evelyn said.

"You can just be there for moral support then," Pope said patting her shoulder.

Pope started the boat, driving to wherever the boys were stranded.

"John B and JJ are up in the Alp," Pope said pulling up to the boat.

"Can you guys do anything without us?" Kiara asked.

"Apparently not," Evelyn said climbing into the other boat.

"What happened?" Kiara asked as the girls walked over to the boys.

Evelyn looked seeing JJ bent down with a screwdriver in his hand and John B crouched, leaned against a wall.

"Uh, the alternator's uh, not alternating anymore," JJ said making Evelyn give him a questioning look.

"It's not charged," John B said looking at the girls.

"Did you check the plugs?" Kiara asked.

"No. No, you guys should check 'em," JJ said standing up and handing Evelyn the screwdriver, "Give it a whirl."

"You guys are useless," Evelyn said handing the screwdriver to Kie who was bending down to check the plugs.

"Sorry about that," John B said as he and JJ walked out of the room.

Evelyn looked down at what Kiara was doing, maybe she could learn something.

"Uh...is this a joke?" Kiara asked.

"What?" Evelyn questioned.

"There are no plugs, like, at all," Kiara said.

"Guys what the fuck," Evelyn said turning to see JJ and John B jumping off the front of the boat.

"Shit," Kiara said walking toward the front of the boat.

"John B!" someone yelled making Evelyn look down, "John B let me out!"

Evelyn slid open the compartment seeing Sarah, "Shit," she whispered.

"What?" Sarah said looking up at the girls.

"What the hell?" Kiara said, "Guys!"

"Are you serious?" Sarah yelled at the boys.

"Get your asses back here!" Kiara yelled.

"We can't. Not until you all figure it out," John B said.

"I don't even have anything to figure out!" Evelyn yelled in frustration.

"I will kill every single one of you!" Kiara yelled.

"You can't just leave us!" Sarah yelled.

"There is food in the cabin, and JJ rolled a blunt," Pope yelled back.

"Hydroponic!" JJ said.

"JJ do not leave me here with these two!" Evelyn yelled.

"Sorry darlin'. Nothing I can do," JJ yelled back.
