"Well, that went well." I yawned pulling at the shirt buttons as the fabric stuck to my stomach, "So, what's the plan?"
"I know how we're gonna find the guy who owns that boat." I looked over curious, they had just walked back over the coast guard not even bothering to listen to John B and JJ. "We don't know whose room that is. It could be anyone."
"I'm in." JJ looked at John B before throwing the key to Kiara, "come on. I'll be lookout." I looked around thinking for a second, "finder's fee. Just sayin'. And, hey, at least you'll only be an accomplice."
"Come on, bubba."
"You too Cali?" Sighing, I nodded and followed after JJ and Kiara looking back at the other two, "Accomplice path chosen," I spoke with a mod styled voice and made a beep noise, mimicking a start button and earning a laugh.
........
Radio chatter sounded as JJ whistled, "I thought the Château looked bad."
"This place is a shitshow." There was trash in the water, a sign laying over on its side and mattresses everywhere, "Motel or meth lab?"
"You be the judge." I made a comment after Pope, "probably both... It's a wonder how the buildings still standing in this condition..."
"Doesn't look like a place somebody with a Grady-White stays." I looked behind us at the marsh, "No. Looks like a place someone with a Grady-White would get killed." John B turned the boat into a side channel before pulling up to the bank. "All right. Here we go."
"This is your captain speaking. HMS Pogue comin' in for landing." JJ stood up with the rope as the boat hit the bank sliding up, I watched him jump off and push the boat back to keep from getting stuck before tying us to the hook in the ground, docking us. "Whoo!"
"We good?" - "Yeah, we good."
"All right. Here goes nothin'." I hopped up onto the edge of the boat to sit on the over lip part, "Hey." I turned to see JJ looking behind me, "Yeah?"
"Don't let him do anything stupid."
"Oh, we will. I'm not making promises." I laughed, shaking my head as JJ smiled at me, "Yeah, I know."
"Uh, be careful." Turning around I saw Kiara handing the key to John B, "I mean it." It looked awkward, unrequited attraction maybe? "Yeah." I looked back at the motel leaning back and kicking my legs, "yeah."
"Let's go." We watched them walk up to the motel and walk up the stairs till they rounded the balcony towards the motel room.
"So uh, wanna play a game?" I turned around raising a brow, "like what?" Kiara was kinda disbelieving Pope brought this up.
"Uh, twenty questions?"
