Sarah and Blake ended up sleeping on the blonde's boat after a long night of gossip and laughter. The air conditioning in the boat was truly a blessing.

"Are you stalking us? Plotting your revenge?" Sarah's voice woke Blake up and when her eyes adapted to the light she saw that John b was there

"John b? What are you doing here?" Blake asked him sitting down next to Sarah

"Everything's good. I was just topping off these tanks" he said taking the oxygen tanks from the boat. Like hell he was, Blake knew exactly what he was going to do and she didn't like it a bit.

"Hey, are you okay? 'Cause that eye of yours looks really gnarly" Sarah teased the shaggy haired boy

"You know what? You can Topper he won the first round. I'll get him the next time" John b glared at Sarah at he got into the HMS Pogue

"So there's just gonna be a reign of terror on this island now?" Sarah asked him

"Wars have been started for less, S" Blake said appearing right beside her

"Okay. Can we drop the Kooks versus Pogues thing? It is really stupid" Sarah commented making Blake scoff

"We can't, trust me. I've been trying for years" Blake said looking straight at John b

"You know, it's easy to say when you are a Kook" John b said ignoring Blake

When Sarah got back into the boat John b looked at Blake with a curious look.

"Do you want to come?" He asked her. After all, she was his friend.

"I'd rather not. I'm a Kook right? I wouldn't want you hanging around me" She scoffed at him

"You know you are a Pogue too" he said making her laugh sarcastically

"Tell that to JJ" she scoffed rolling her eyes

"You know you can come if you want, right?" John b asked her ignoring her comment about JJ

"Yes" she said walking back into the boat with Sarah

Blake had to swallow her pride to do what she was about to do. But she also was a curious girl and couldn't stop herself.

"Waiting for me?" Blake took off her sunglasses to look at the pogues loading the oxygen tanks into their boat

"Blake! You came" Kie happily ran to hug her

"I thought I'd never see you again" Pope hugged her too

Blake passed right next to JJ but decided to ignore him, she stood in front of John b looking at him.

"Thank you" she smiled softly at him. John b just nodded at her smiling. He knew she was going to come.

The five teens made their way into the marsh and stopped right above the boat the had found days before.

"This is empty, you took empty tanks" Kie informed examining the oxygen tanks

"This one is a quarter full, it should be enough for one of us" Blake said also examining the tanks

So basically the plan was to dive and look for something inside the boat, anything that could be a clue.

"Love it when a plan comes together" Pope sais sarcastically

"Look, it's alright. One of us going down is enough" Blake said

"Does anyone know how to dive?" Kie asked the group maling all of them shake their heads

"It's kind of a Kook sport" JJ scoffed looking at Blake, but she decided to ignore him

"Oh did you hear something?" She asked when she saw the rest of the grouo looking at her "Yeah, me neither" she said smirking when she saw JJ rolling his eyes

"I read about it" Pope commented breaking the uncomfortable moment

"Great Pope's read about it, someone's going to die" Kie said frustrated

"No one's going to die. We'll figure it out" Blake tried to calm her friend down

"Look, you put the thing in your mouth and just breathe. How hard can it be?" JJ asked examining the scuba equipment

"You could die if you do it wrong but hey! I'm sure it's a piece of cake" Blake said sarcastically looking straight at JJ's blue eyes

"Oh! enlighten us with a better idea" JJ asked sarcastically

"Oh! Yeah, I heard it's pretty fun when you get the bends" Blake commented

"The bends?" JJ asked as he didn't know what was that

"Nitrogen gets in your blood if you come up to fast and you get the bends" Pope explained it to him

"Bends, like bend over and...?" JJ joked sticking out his butt

"The bends kill you" Blake cut him off slapping his ass

"Hey!" JJ glared at her

"I can dive" John b interrupted his friends

"You don't know how it's done" Blake shook her head "I'll do it. I've seen the Cameron's dive a few times" Blake offered

"No you won't" John b stopped her when she was about to touch the tanks "I'll dive" John b said grabbing her waist moving her away from the tanks

"You can dive, I'm cool with that" JJ said clearly relieved that it wasn't him the one that was going to dive

"Let me do some calculations real quick" Pope said grabbing a paper "So the boat is 30 feet down and It'll take 25 minutes at that depth" Pope listed all the data for his calculation "you need to do your safety stop at ten feet for no less than two minutes" Pope informed John b, who just nodded

Suddenly Kie took off her shirt and jumped into the water without saying anything.

"What was that about?" Pope asked his friends

"I don't know, but I liked it a lot" JJ said with his gaze locked into where Kie had jumped into the water

"Pig" Blake scoffed making JJ roll his eyes at her

"Yeah uh, so when you're down there you look for the cargo hold" JJ told John b changing the topic

"Hey! I tied my shirt to the anchor chain about ten feet down" Kie said emerging from the water

"That's where you need to make your safety stop" Blake commented helping Kie get into the boat

"Keep and eye on this. You need to make sure you have enough air to decompress" Pope informed John b making Blake even more nervous, that wasn't going to go well

"Okay, how much do I need?" John b asked him

"Unclear...just breathe as little as possible" Pope told him unsure. They were screwed.

"Zen, think Zen, you know?" JJ said breathing really slowly as if he was wearing a mask

"Yeah, got it" John b said walking to the side of the boat

"Hey! If we get caught in the marsh we are basically screwed so better get a move on" Pope said walking closer to John b

"Copy that" John b smiled at him

"Be careful, all right?" Blake walked up to him and placer her hand on his chest

"I will, don't worry" John b gave her hand a squeeze smiling

They didn't notice the nasty looks JJ was giving the both of them until Blake turned around.

"If looks could kill John b would already be dead, wouldn't he?" Blake teased the boy walking to the other side of the boat as John b went down

"Diver down"
