AFTER FINDING OUT THERE WAS A SHIPWRECK WORTH PROBABLY MILLIONS, THE TEENS WENT TO the Coast Guard, but it ended up being too packed to get answers from any authority figure, so the teens were left to solve this one on their own. Cari convinced Pope they wouldn't get in as much trouble as John B and JJ since they'd only be the accomplices. They got back onto the boat and headed down to an apartment complex that had been completely wrecked by Agatha.

There was a sign that had been crumbled to the ground, trees fallen and extra debris scattered across the grass. Once the boat stopped on shore, JJ and John B stepped off and Pope leaned over to talk to John B, "Hey, make sure he doesn't do anything stupid."

"I'm not making promises," John B replied as he turned back to Pope.

Cari leaped off the boat, "JJ, don't go being yourself!"

JJ placed a hand on his chest in fake offense and gasped, "Cars, you know I can promise no such thing," Cari rolled her eyes as Kie went to say something to John B causing Cari to smirk after overhearing it.

As John B and JJ went to go to the complex, JJ turned around and saluted to Cari and she returned it with a nod. They did that ever since they were little kids and it never stopped even to this day, it's like their own signal.

"Kiara and John B, sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G," Cari teased as Kie stepped back onto the boat with an eye roll.

"Okay, dude. Now, to get you to shut up, why don't we talk about our pet peeves?" Kiara suggested.

The girls began a conversation about their biggest pet peeves while Pope sat back and listened, but the chatter quickly died down when Cari spotted a police car pulling into the driveway at the other side of the fence and her eyes widened as she whispered-yelled, "Guys!"

Both of them snapped their heads in her direction and asked, "What?" She signaled to the police and their eyes widened as well. The trio jumped off the boat and headed to the back of the motel to throw rocks at the window to get John B and JJ's attention, which was probably gonna be a mission impossible considering this was JJ and John B together

Eventually, when Kiara finally threw one that hit the window, they stopped and John B appeared under the blinds. The trio below began to whisper-yell that the cops were here and pointing to the other sides. Then, Pope, Kie and Cari ran back to the boat and kneeled down, "Should we peel?"

"You never leave a Pogue behind,"

Cari turned to Kiara with a nod, but Kie was only more worried, "No, seriously, should we peel?"

"Uh... maybe," Cari shrugged. After a few minutes, the trio spotted John B and JJ up on the window,  standing on the roof by their stomachs. The trio looked at them in fear as pope asked what they were doing. Cari only rolled, knowing she should've expected this from her brother.

Just then, a gun fell from JJ's pocket causing them all to gasp at the thought they might get caught. After a full five minutes a silent, the sheriff left the window and John B and JJ got down, letting the Pogues get back on the water.
