"This is war." JJ looked at them, "They hit us, we hit them."

"Do it Pope." Emma said.

Pope jumed into the water and swim to Topper's boat.

"Does it hurts ?" JJ pointed at Emma's neck.

"A little, but I'm okay don't worry." Emma responded with a smile.

"You did it." JJ said when Pope came back, " I'm so proud of you right now."

"Good job Pope. " Emma gave him a high five.

"Em', JJ ? You can't tell anybody." Pope looked at them.

"Yeah,don't worry." Emma responded.

"I'm serious guys. Not Kie, not John B" Pope continued, he turned to Emma, "Not Sarah."

"I wasn't gonna tell her."

"Your lips are sealed." JJ added.

"Let's go guys. We can't stay here." Emma said.

Pope strated the boat and they went back to the cut. They joined Kie and John B at the beach, they spend the afternoon, surfing. Emma haven't surfed in a while, she missed it.

They finished the day at John B's place, they all sat in the hamac near the water.

"You really think it's out there ?" Pope asked.

"Maybe." Emma shrugged.

"My father thought it was." John B responded.

"But do you ?" Pope looked at him.

"After earing his voice on that tape. I think I do."

"Only one way to find out." Pope replied.

"Look, we're gonna find it." Kie said to John B.

"Even JJ believes." Emma smiled.

"Oh my God, JJ do you really believe ?" John asked him.

"Are we taking about four mil ?"  JJ looked at him.

"Four hundred mil." Emma corrected him.

"I'm gonna dream about shipwrecks." JJ said as he laid down.

"I'm gonna go home." Emma stood up.

"You don't wanna stay ?" John B asked her.

"I want to but my dad doesn't like when I spend the night here." Emma said with a smile.

She said goodbye to everybody and went home. When she got home the house was silent, her parents where probably already in bed, she grabbed something to eat and went in her room. When she entred the room she saw somebody on her balcony.

"Rafe." Emma sighed.

Emma walked to her window but didn't opened it. Rafe turned arond and looked at Emma.

"Can we talk ?" She could heard him from the other side.

"Leave." Emma said as she started to walk back towards her bed.

"Emma ! Please, I'm sorry." Rafe insisted.

Emma sighed and came back to the window, she opened it but not enough for Rafe to come in.

"I don't wanna talk right now."

"Emma, I'm sorry, I-I didn't know what to do. Please." Rafe came closer to her.

"You didn't know what to do ? Really ? He was beating up my friend and he was strangling me ! And you just stood there." Emma yelled at him.

"I didn't know what to do. I know I didn't have the best reaction. Emma I'm so sorry that he hurt you." Rafe replied.
