Chapter five

"WHAT ARE THEY . . . doing here? The marsh is closed." Maxine questioned. JJ looked back at his friends, "I don't know. Let's not stick around and find out."

John b directed at his blonde friend, "JJ, get the bowline." He nodded, Pope glanced back at him. "Should we wait on them?"

"No, we're not gonna wait on them." He whispered, "Go get the stern. Go!" John b buzzed.

Max looked down at JJ, "Are you joking? JJ, hurry up." She directed.

"Guys, don't wait for me. Go." JJ agonised, as he riveted his eyes back to the bowline. "Let's go!" Dahlia shrieked.

John b looked back at them, "I don't like the look of this." Maxine's eyes blazed, "Are they coming for us?"

"Maybe they're fishing." Pope guessed, trying to calm down his nerves. "Yeah right, out fishing when the marsh is closed, mhm." Max sputtered out.

"Go, go, go, go!" JJ exclaimed motioning towards the marsh. "I'm going. Act natural. Act natural." John b said on repeated.

Maxine snatched a glimpse from them, "Hey guys, they're following us." She yelled, warning them that they weren't just there by coincidence. "This can't be good." Pope let out.

"Shit."

"Dude, you gotta go faster!" JJ hollered.

"I'm going, I'm going!" John b ranted back, dahlia's eyes stayed on the boat following them. While Maxine stood next to JJ her brown eyes turned steel, her lip's quivering.

But the boat following them, went faster when they went faster. One of them pulling out a gun, "Holy shit!" They all broke down on their knees, JJ covered Max's face with his arms holding her down.

"John b, get down!" Dahlia shouted. A gun fired again as Pope flinched lower into the HMS. "Oh my goodness, we're gonna die!"

"Shit! Pope, move." Dahlia rushed past him, holding out a net as she fiddled with it. Holding her head down, as she yelled out in frustration. "Get down, Lia!" John b yelled.

In the mean time, JJ hovered over Max his body covering hers. So that if a hit landed, she wouldn't get shot. "Fuck, J. Lower yourself, don't cover me!" Maxine told him.

JJ shook his head, only lowering his body on hers their faces inches apart. "No, you can get seriously hurt!" The blonde muttered.

"You, idiot!" She hissed as her arms wrapped around his shoulders. Slamming his body down to hers. "No way, you are getting shot."

Another gun shot fired, as Dahlia walked to the end of the HMS throwing the net in the water as she grunted.

They all sighed in relief, "Oh, my goodness! Whoo! Booyeah! Pogue life, man!" JJ shouted.

"What do you guys think it is?" Maxine asked.

John b set down the bag with a hurry, "Gotta be money, right?" JJ chuckled, "That or a couple of keys with street value to the low- to midmils!" They joked around.

"Can we please just open the bag?" Pope sneered. "Wow, Pope. That's a rare outburst of emotion." John b taunted him.

"Okay. You guys are literally killing me with anticipation." Pope scolded at them. "Just open the bag. We almost died over this." Pope said, not being wrong though.
