John B's grand plan is John B's grand plan is to strand Kie, Sarah, and I on a boat in the marsh. He's convinced that Kie and Sarah will be friends by tomorrow morning. I say there's a fifty-fifty chance one ends up with at least a black eye.

John B has Sarah locked in the hold of the boat. Him and JJ are waiting for Pope to deliver Kie. JJ ripped the spark plugs out of the engine so the boat can't go anywhere.

Kie shows up looking annoyed.

"These boys can't do anything without you," I tease.

Kie heads into the wheelhouse and sees John B and JJ looking over the engine. I watch from the door.

"What happened?" Kie asks.

"Uh, the alternator's, uh, not alternating anymore," JJ tells her.

"It's not charged," John B states.

"Did you check the plugs?" Kie asks.

"No. No, you should check 'em," JJ says as he hands the screwdriver to Kie.

"Give it a whirl," John B tells her.

"You guys are useless," Kie tells them.

Kie and I both bend down to look at the spark plugs.

"Sorry about that," John B says.

"Uh... is this a joke? There are no plugs, like, at all," Kie states.

I hear a splash and Kie runs out to the back of the boat.

"Shit." Kie stops when she hears pounding on the hold.

"John B, let me out! John B!" Sarah shouts. Kie lets her out. "What? Wait."

Kie shouts at the guys. "Are you serious!"

"Are you joking? Get your asses back here!" Kie yells.

"We can't. Not you two figure it out," John B tells us.

"I will kill every single one of you!" Kie threatens.

"Y-You can't just leave!" Sarah shouts.

"I'm already regretting this," I remark.

"There's food in the cabin, and JJ rolled a blunt," Pope tells us.

"Hydroponic!" JJ shouts.

"JJ I am going to beat the crap out of you!" Kie threatens.

"Love you to!" JJ shouts back.

"This is ridiculous," Sarah says as he starts to take her clothes off.

"Well, I would rather drown than stay here with you, so..." Kie trails off as she takes her shirt off.

"Fine, be my guest. Maybe you'll finally shut the hell up," Sarah remarks.

"Sarah, you don't even know where you're going," I tell her.

"I don't care," Sarah says before jumping onto the water.

"Good luck with the oyster beds," Kie tells her.

"Wait!" Sarah shouts.

The boys start to leave. "Godspeed!"

"Wait! John B, you asshole!" Sarah shouts.

"They're not coming back for you!" Kie shouts.

"Love you, guys! Bye!" John B shouts.

I sigh. "Great."

Sarah squeals before dipping under the surface of the water.

"What?" Kie asks.
