Outer Banks ( The Sixth Pogue)

Chapter 3- Lighthouse

Ah shit here we go again...

Chapter 3-

"John B give me your shirt, quickly"
"What?!"
"Look if you wanna get out of this you're gonna have to trust me"

John B takes of his button down shirt which I slipped over my shorts and tank. Kiara and Pope had opened the window and the others had all crawled out,
"What are you gonna do?" Cried JJ from outside the window,
"Trust me."

I took my hair from it's bun messing it up a bit and drowsily I opened the office door yawning, the two men stood there with vacant expressions across their faces.
"Oh hello gentleman can I help you?" I smiled sweetly,
"Where's the boy?" the taller one growled 
"Oh um I couldn't say." They stepped closer anger flickering in there murky eyes,
"Where is he?"
"Look I'm sorry boys but me and the guy who lives here are only just aquatinted, you see we I mean I, I don't know where he is he left early this morning, maybe try further in land."

The two men groan for a few minutes before storming out the front door, just as they're about to leave the shrill sound of one of the chickens stops them. One of the men slowly walked towards the coop and that's when I see Popes wide eyes. Shit. I think to myself,
"Hey gents I can let him know you stopped by if you want"
"No no, come on we're leaving."

I stood there with my heart in my mouth as the car pulled away as it rounded the bend and the group of hiding Pogues appeared from within the chicken coop. They smiled widely,
"That was totally badass" laughed Pope patting my shoulder,
"Nice going" smiled JJ,
"Can I have my shirt back now?" I laughed and unbuttoned John B's stripped shirt handing it back to him.
"You saved our asses back there"
"So do you trust me now?" I say hopefully.

The group gather together just out of ears reach whispering and glancing over their shoulder as they deliberate. All at once they turn to me,
"You're in" smiled Pope.
"Someone should fill the newbie in then" laughed Kiara.
"Alright give her the 101 on the way."

We all hopped into John B's beat up van as I was informed that we were heading to Redfield Lighthouse after discovering a message on the inside of the compass that John's father had written. We pull up to the lighthouse in no time and divide into two groups, John B and Kiara are to head up to the lighthouse and Pope, JJ and I are to stay on the ground as lookouts.
"Keep them in check will you" laughed John B before he and Kiara headed off.

Pope sat in the grass reading over some study notes, JJ lit a spliff and I sat on the hood of the car listening to the sound of the sea. JJ jumped up next to me and offered me a drag,
"Only on special occasions" I say rejecting, he takes another drag,
"Hey I'm sorry about your da..."
"Don't" I cut him off, I was in no mood to talk about my fathers death,
"I get it" he says exhaling "how's your mum doing after the other day?" I turn to look at JJ,
"She's doing alright" I say making an attempt to smile "thanks for asking"
"Course"

The sound of a loud siren cuts through our conversation and a police car round the bend,
"Shit quick" yell JJ taking my hand and pulling me into the car,
"Pope we gotta go" I call.
"What about JB and Kie?" Pope questions,
"We gotta go" stresses JJ stepping on the gas.

We loose the police car and the boys let out loud whoops, I stick my head out the window shouting cries of joy at are small victory. My heart is racing like never before, this is wild!
