CHAPTER FOUR - THE MOTEL KEY

John B was still underwater. His twin sister was starting to get anxious - she felt the air in her lungs abandoning her. John B was running out of air

"Should we go get him?" Pope asked. He was worried too. 

They said twins could feel when the other was in pain and Brizo was experiencing that. She somehow knew her brother needed her help so she didn't think about it and dove in the water. Her friends tried to stop her but it was useless. She could barely see in the muddy water but she tried her best to keep her eyes opened and looked for John B. He was swimming to her but his legs didn't have any stength left to kick to the surface. Brizo reached her brother's arm and linked it with hers. She swam upwards until they broke out of the water gasping for air. 

"Are you guys okay?" Kie asked worried. Brizo tried her best to swim to the boat while carrying her brother. "That took forever"

"We're fine, Kie" John B gasped. He looked at his sister and nodded to her as an unspoken thank you. She smiled at him and kissed his cheek. 

"Don't you dare scare me like that again, Johnny boy" She whispered. 

"Any dead bodies?" Pope asked. 

"Us if you don't help me right now, Mr coroner!" Brizo exclaimed. JJ and Pope run to help John B climb in the boat again while Kie reached to grab Brizo's hand and help her get onto the boat. 

"Looting potential?" JJ asked once the twins were safe. John B shook his head no.

"Just this" He showed the group a motel key.

"You almost drowned over a motel key? Are you kidding me?" Brizo rolled her eyes at his brother. 

"Great! We salvaged a motel key" JJ said. He looked down to the wreck and took off his cap to run his fingers trough his hair. Brizo stared at him. She always wondered how'd that feel. She looked away when she felt her brother's eyes on her. 

"How did you know I needed help?" John B asked looking at his sister. She just shrugged. 

"I just knew" She looked up to him. He just nodded and didn't say a word. He knew was she meant. 

"Guys, we should report the wreckto the coast guard. Maybe we'll get a finder's fee" Kiara suggested. 

"Yeah, and not work all summer" JJ agreed. 

Pope started the engine while John B pulled the anchor up. Brizo sat down with Kie. Both of them looking at the water as the boat moved forward. She rested her head on her friend's shoulder. 

"Are you okay?" Kie asked her friend. 

"Yeah, I'm just tired." 

Kie nodded and gave Brizo a side hug. The girl smiled and thought how lucky she was to have Kiara by her side. She couldn't imagine a day without her. She was the only girl friend she had, the only one she could talk to about boys and things that she knew her brother didn't want to hear about. She loved Kie as a sister. They stayed like that, hugging each other till they arrived at the dock. They tied up the boat and went to the Coast Guard Station.

Kie, Pope and Brizo waited outside since the place was crowded. When they boys came back with no luck they decided to check the motel for the owner of the boat. Pope didn't think it was a good idea, but Brizo managed to convince him. 

It didn't take long for the group of friends to arrive at the motel - if you could call it that

"I thought the Château looked bad" JJ whistled. 

"This place is a shitshow" 

"Motel or meth lab?"

"You be the judge" Pope answered Kiara. 

"Doesn't look like a placesomebody with a Grady-White stays" John B thought out loud. 

"No, looks like a place someonewith a Grady-White would get killed" Brizo concluded. Pope nodded at her statement. 

"This is your captain speaking.HMS Pogue coming in for landing" JJ pulled up to the side of the grass. 

"All right. Here goes nothing" John B said, following JJ. 

"Hey, I wanna go too" Brizo said as she climbed off the boat and stood next to JJ. The blonde boy looked at her and she winked at him. JJ smirked at her and pulled the girl closer to him. His arms wrapped around her shoulders. He took a quick look at John B and made sure he wasn't looking as he gave Brizo a quick kiss on her head. She giggled. Her heart started beating faster. Why do I get so nervous when he is close to me? She asked herself. She snapped back to reality as she remembered the no pogue on pogue macking rule. Whatever. It wasn't like she wanted to mack JJ. Right?

"Hey, John B" Pope called "Don't let them do anything stupid" He said pointing his finger towards Brizo and JJ. They both smiled playfully at the boy.

"Oh, we will" JJ and Brizo said at the same time making them laugh. 

"I'm not making promises" John B said while pulling JJ away from his sister. The girl groaned and rolled her eyes at her brother. 

"Yeah, I know" Pope sighed. 

Kiara walked closer to John B and handed him the motel key, letting her fingers touch his more than it was necessary. 

"Uh, be careful. I mean it" Kie said. She looked John B in the eyes. Brizo raised her eyebrow at the moment her brother and her friend were sharing. Was there something going on that she didn't know about? She made a mental note for herself to ask Kiara about it later since John B would never tell her anything. 

"Yeah" John B chuckled "Let's go"
