The brilliant minds of John B. and JJ decided to check out the motel themselves when the coastal guard ignored them. Nixie wasn't against the idea, but she knew it would probably end badly, so she wasn't going to ruin their fun.

"Whoa, it looks like we might have located a serial killer's hideout." Nixie said, glancing over the motel with a disgusted expression due to its apparent disrepair.

"I apologise, it's not up to the five-star hotels you stay at." When John B made a comment, she rolled her eyes and glanced over her shoulder at him.

"I thought the Château looked bad." JJ whistled as he commented.

"This place is a shitshow." John B replied.

"Motel or meth lab?" Kiara inquired, and when the two girls exchanged glances, Nixie grinned at her.

"You be the judge." Pope responded.

"Undoubtedly, drug deals are taking place in this dumpster,"Nixie remarks, wrinkled nose up.

"Doesn't look like a place somebody with a Grady-White stays." Everyone was fixated on the sight.

"No. Looks like a place someone with a Grady-White would get killed." Pope sighed.

"Serial killer hideout, as I said." Nixie remarked.

"This is your captain speaking. HMS Pogue comin' in for landing." JJ spoke as he mimicked a radio again.

"We good?" John B walked over to the patch of grass and inquired. He turned to face his friends, who were looking at him.

"Yeah, we good." JJ gave comfort.

"All right. Here goes nothin'."

"Don't let him do anything stupid." Pope gestured to JJ, who only rolled his eyes in response, and spoke.

"Oh, we will."

"I'm not making promises."

"Yeah, I know." Pope sighed in surrender.

"Uh, be careful." Kiara halted John B's progress. She was fixated on John B, which caused JJ to shift his gaze elsewhere. "I mean it."

As John B and JJ left, they watched. Nixie gave Kiara a sidelong glance and smiled, but the curly-haired girl simply raised a palm to her face, making her smile even wider. "Do you think you'll hold John B if he gets hurt?"

"Nini, shut up."

"Biggest pet peeve?" Kiara asked, To pass the time, they had been exchanging questions back and forth. "Easy. Giving one percent to the environment."

"What's wrong with that?" Pope questioned the young woman.

Kiara sighed, carefully considering her response. Nixie knew that she was going to go on another environmental tirade. "We only have one Earth, Pope. We should be giving it 100 percent, bare minimum."

"Right. That's not fiscally sound." Nixie turned to look at Pope as he response. When she smiled at him, he turned to look at her grin but quickly averted his gaze. Kiara gave them both a rolling of the eyes.

"Neither is destroying the planet we have to live on." Kiara argued.

"Hey, hey, cops...Shit. Call them."As they gently stood up, Pope said, Nixie became a little alarmed, thinking that her mother would surely kill her if she found out.

"I can't. Towers are down." As they cautiously got out of the boat so as not to be noticed, Kiara responded.

"If I lose my merit scholarship, I'm gonna kill someone." Pope said as they carried on their journey.

"I'll hold both of them down for you if you lose your merit scholarship." Nixie remarked while rubbing grass off her leg.

"Maybe they're not going up." As they observed the police approaching the motel, Pope suggested. "Maybe they're looking for a room."

"They're going up there." They were hiding behind the hotel sign when Kiara interrupted.

They all sprinted to the room's location around the hotel's side."Okay, do something. Do something." Kiara whispered.

Picking up several pebbles from the ground, Nixie cast an upwards glance. "Let's toss these." With a go at throwing the rocks, she said.

Pope trailed her as he hurled the pebbles haphazardly, missing completely. At his try, Nixie giggled a little.

"Didn't you ever play baseball?" Kiara glanced over and inquired, seeing as he threw another stone.

"Dude! I was on the math team."Pope stated combatively.

"A mathlete?"

"You know what?" Azalea  shook her head and put her hand on Pope's shoulder as he continued to dispute.

When the blind finally opened, John B was staring at them. The others cupped their mouths, and Nixie  gestured to the side. "Cops. Cops! Cops!" John B vanished from the blinds.

"Let's go." Nixie said. They all looked really suspicious, and she didn't want to face her mother's fury if she discovered she was in prison, so she peered to see whether the police had seen them rushing back.

They boarded the vessel. Sitting at the driver's seat was Kiara. Nixie pivoted, questioning why she hadn't begun it earlier.

"Should we peel?" When Kiara asked, Nixie gave her a strange look.

"Are you serious? I won't be abandoning them." Nixie  said, turning to face the hotel where she was waiting to meet the boys.

"You never leave a Pogue behind." Pope continued.

"No, seriously, should we peel?" Kiara enquired once more, and in a panic, Nixie covered her head with her hands.

They retreated in time to see JJ and John B crawl through the window and balance on opposite sides of the roof while they awaited the departure of the inside officers. Nixie looked to her pals in disbelief.

"What are you guys doing?" They merely put a finger to their lips as Pope mouthed to them.

"Oh, my God." Kiara sighed.

When JJ dug into his pockets and pulled out a Damm pistol, Nixie eyes widened. JJ Maybank would steal a gun, of course. Abruptly, the gun dropped from the blonde's grasp and hit the ground directly.

The blonde opened, and Nixie turned to look at Kiara and Pope right away. Kiara began to murmur something. Nixie took a deep breath and tried not to panic.

Nixie sighed deeply as the police eventually exited the room. When the boys returned to the boat, Nixie gave John B a quick hug out of relief. Pope glanced away as he observed the two.
