006: Karma, The Bitch You Are

─────────────────────













After the group had rejoined- which was a stressful fifteen minutes for the Monroe girl wondering if her friends had just gotten arrested.

Again.

Kiara suggested that they head over to The Wreck to get some food- hopeful to convince her dad to say yes.

"stealing drones makes me hungry" Kiara commented as she got out of the Twinkie.

"what I would do to a beer and shrimp and grits right now" JJ muttered.

Pope climbed out of the car after him "it would not be pretty"

Adria shook her head as she walked past the two heading towards the doors to the Wreck "let's go because I'm starving"

Kiara chuckled as she walked with the girl, the group heading into the restaurant

"Hey dad, how'd we do?" she questions running her hand down the table.

"didn't turn it over once" Mike answered his daughter glancing at the group of teens following her in and giving his daughter a look.

Adria gave her uncle a tight lipped smile- she continued to walk away from the pair knowing Mike is probably going to say something, she knew how Kiara's father felt about the Pogues, it was basically the same thing with her own mother.

Adria noticed Kiara and her father look at them as she nudged John b with her elbow- harder then she intended and gave the boy a look through raised brows.

Adria looked back to her uncle and smiled with a wave trying to coaxed the others to do the same to see if it would help persuade the man.

Kiara turned to the group with a smile "sit down"

Adria exhaled a breath she didn't realize she was holding "thank god" she muttered-

The dark-haired girl rushed towards one of the empty tables rubbing her hands together as she looked to Kiara with a wide toothy grin "alright, bring on the food"

Not long after the food was brought out, the teens immediately begin to eat. Stuffing their faces like they haven't ate in weeks.

Adria raised a fry in her hand with a playful smile, looking at the blond boy across from her.

JJ looked at the girl who had an almost mischievous look on her face.

Adria raised her brows at the boy before she tossed the fry at the Maybank boy.

JJ tried to catch it in his mouth but he just missed. The Monroe girl groaned out with a laugh at the boy for missing while he continued to go on about how close it was- and stating that it was a bad throw.

Kiara walked over with a pitcher of water shoving JJ's feet that were resting on the table off and filling the cup with water.

Kiara set it the pitcher down and began to sway to the quiet music playing from the speakers.

She motioned for the Rutledge to come dance with her, wiggling her finger in her direction while rolling her shoulders.

Adria watched as John b did some dance- which caused Adria to snort at his goofy move as he walked towards her, the pair dancing together.

Adria couldn't stop smiling- This moment these types of moments were the best in Adria's opinion, them all hanging out problem free just having fun.

A hand took ahold of Adria's pulling her attention away from her two friends.

JJ pulled her up from her chair as he spun her around, Adria's smile never faltered while she steadied herself by placing her hands on his shoulders.

Adria laughed lightly while the two continued to dance. swaying to the gentle music doing- in Adria's opinion, cheesy dance moves.

This was the life. And Adria wouldn't want it any different.







──••──







Adria sat on the dock, her feet resting in the water- the girl thankful there was some sort of breeze.

John b and Kiara were out in the water so Pope could test out the drone- said drone they had just stole.

Though using the word borrowed helped smooth the Monroe's slightly anxious mind.

"what is this right here?" JJ reached over and went to push a button.

Pope smacked the blonds hand away "don't touch that, I'm trying to work out this thing"

Adria looked over her shoulder "believe in you, Pope!"

JJ nodded as he watched the screen "god bless geeks, Pope. truly, man. What would we do without you to control the drones" JJ walked over beside Adria resting on the railing

"well technically it's not a drone it's a ROV--"

"shut up, Shut up, it's to early for that right now" JJ cut the boy short causing Adria to chuckled.

"Hey look, once we get footage of the wreck, we'll bring it to a lawyer in town and file a formal claim" John b spoke up from the water, swimming a little closer to the dock.

JJ scoffed with a roll of his eyes "that's such bullshit. Why do we have to do that?"

Pope got up from his spot "well, there is maritime salvage law. You can't just go to the ocean floor and scoop up a bunch of stuff--"

"I know, I know" JJ cut him off once again "it's just lawyers aren't cheep, bro"

John b shrugged "well, as soon as they see the footage, they'll work for a comp"

Kiara looked to the Routledge with furrowed brows "how do you know all that?" she asked.

" 'Cause my dad said it, like, a million times" he answered.

"yeah that's fair" Kiara said as she swam towards the ladder and climbs up slightly a smirk on her face- an idea in her head.

She reaches up grabbing ahold of Adria's arm as she pulled her down, dragging her off the dock

Adria's eyes widen as she gets pulled into the water by her friend, the two girls remerged from the water Adria taking a deep breath as she gives Kiara a look "Oh okay, I see how it is, Karma is a bitch, Kiara Carrera"

Kiara just shrugged her shoulders as she laughed, Adria splashed water at the girls face.

She makes her way towards the ladder and began to climb up her hand moving her wet hair from her face as she got back up onto the dock. She pulls off her now wet shirt that was over her swimsuit top, setting it over the railing hoping for it to dry.

Her brown eyes look at the Maybank whose eyes were trailing her up and down.

Adria scoffed smacking the boy on the arm "don't let your eyes wonder too far, Maybank" she walked up beside the boy leaning on the rail.

JJ frowned rolling his eyes with a shake of his head.

"Best watch out, kie" she called out to the girl, her eyes narrowed while pointing between herself and Kie "karma is always watching"

"This tether is like really long" Pope spoke gaining her attention and pulling away back to the drone mission at hand "in the wrong weather, this thing could get pushed around" he informs the group.

"then we go at dead calm" John B commented as thunder rumbled in the air "At slack tide?" Kie questioned, well more so suggested.

"so now, we just gotta wait around for the right weather"

Adria looked up at the sky as dark thunder clouds begin to fill the sky and the once quiet sky rumbling "I have a feeling today is not the day"

Pope nodded in agreement with a slight sigh "yep"






──••──






Adria decided to go with JJ and Pope to help Heyward with some of his deliveries- seeing as she didn't really want to go home and Kiara was working at The Wreck.

"You guys get these groceries over to Figure Eight." Heyward spoke as he handed some bags to Adria and Pope "get straight back here when you're done. No fishing!" he said sternly to the teens "I promised delivery by this afternoon. Rich folks don't wanna wait around for you lazy sons of--"

Heyward tilted his head at JJ who had his hands held out for the bags "oh JJ, thank you- sons of bitches" he finishes his sentence from before.

Adria chuckled as she nodded her head "if they fish I'll beat them up for you, Heyward"

Heyward pointed at the two boys with raised brows "Alright you hear that, you fish Adria's gonna kick your asses for me, then I'm gonna do it myself when y'all get back"

Once all the groceries were on board they began to sail off towards figure eight- the exact place Adria was trying to avoid.

Pope was driving the boat while JJ sat playing around with a knife and Adria was slouched down in a seat her feet resting on another empty spot.

"Doesn't even look like the storm hit there" Pope commented as he looked at the houses on figure Eight who had already cleaned up their yard making it look brand new, once again.

Adria's eyes wondered across the fancy houses with people in the yard doing the work to fix up the place- well more so hired people doing their work.

JJ followed his gaze "that's because they got generators, bro. get used to it" he looked back at his friend an annoyed expression on his face as he talked "and then they say the juice will be out all summer at the cut"

Pope sighed "nice to be a Kook" JJ nods "lucky bastards"

Adria didn't bother joining in on the conversation seeing as she lives on Figure Eight- in her mind it would be hypocritical of her to add in on the conversation.





. . .





Adria went with Pope at their first stop seeing as he had a bit more to carry then JJ-

Adria carried the bag while Pope carried the case of beer, the two joking around as they walked up the path.

"hey what's up man" Rafe spoke as he walked in front of them, Adria's face fell at the sight of the Cameron man, the girl muttering a curse under her breath.

"hey, how much for one of those beers?" he pointed his golf club at the case of beer Pope was holding.

"they're not for sale" Pope bluntly states and went to walk around him but Rafe got in his way.

"Oh, wait, wait, wait. just give us one then, right?"

Adria looked between Topper and Rafe giving them glares "I'm sorry, did you not hear him, they're not for sale, you want one, order it"

Adria shoved the man out of her way for her and pope to continue.

Rafe stopped them as he chuckled "wait, wait, you're not listening to me. Um, you've got so many, bro, and we got nothing"

"got nothing" Topper adds.

"Nice echo there Top" she tilts her head "you're rich, go buy your own" Adria seethed through narrow eyes.

"they're not even mine, they're already paid for" Pope tried to explain to them but it was useless.

Rafe and his pose were the Kook of all Kooks. Anyone below them were like gum on the bottom of their shoes.

"their already paid for?" Rafe went to look through the bag but Adria pulled it away "you probably stole 'em right"

His attention shifts to the Monroe girl "I mean you might live on Figure Eight but you're just some Pogue slut like Kie"

Adria ran her tongue across her teeth "Go fuck yourself, Rafe"

He chuckled bitterly before hooking his golf club on the bag as he tore it, all the food falling to the ground

"What the hell!" Pope hollered before shoving his finger in their face "you owe me for that!"

Rafe stalked towards him "Dude, I don't owe you shit, Pogue" Pope shoved him away.

Topper began to try and take the beer away from Pope- the two Kooks teaming up on the boy.

"Hey!" Adria hollered as she shoved the Thornton away but he didn't go Far.

His angry glare on the girl before he shoved Adria back knocking her onto the ground.

she seethes in pain she looks at her now scrapped up palms before looking back at the men.

Topper went back to trying to take the beer from Pope and successfully did as Pope fell onto the ground.

"Shit" Topper muttered "shit, my bad man"

Pope groans as he begins to rise to his feet before charging towards Topper his hand in a fist but before he could get near him Rafe hit him in the stomach with his golf club.

Adria quickly shot up from the ground "what they hell is wrong with you!" she hollered, her gaze shifting between the men.

Adria ran up beside the Hayward boy, placing her hand on his back asking if the boy was okay.

Adria was desperately trying to get them out of this situation as fast as she could.

Rafe chuckled, almost proudly, and swung his club back and went to hit the boy once again.

But this time it caught the Adria in the side of her face as she dropped to the ground.

Rafe raised his club again and hit Pope in the back knocking him to the ground and stopping him from getting up

Adria groaned in pain as her hand went to the side of her head just beside her eye, tears swelling in them from the pain. A small cut from the impact bleeding onto her fingers.

Topper tried to make Rafe leave but he fought against his friend as he went to raise his club again but just missed Pope as it sunk into the ground beside the boys head.

"Seriously Rafe, just let them go" Topper tried to reason with him but it was no use.

Rafe crouched down next to Pope smacking his face lightly "we don't want you over here, got that? Stay off Figure Eight, Pogue" he spat out and grabbed his club before walking off with Topper.

Adria took a deep breath as she blinked away the tears and wiping the few that had fallen from her face as she crawled over to Pope

"Hey, hey" she whispered glancing over her shoulder and swallowing thickly "come on, let's get out of here"

she stood from the ground taking his hand and helping him up.

Poor looked at the wound on her face "are you okay?" He questioned with worry.

She pressed her lips together sympathy on her face "I'm okay, don't worry about me, Pope"

The pair wiping the dirt off themselves and began to walk back to the dock where the boat was at.

Once the two were there Adria cleaned up the cut that had already began to bruise before searching Heyward's boat in search of a pair of sunglasses.

Adria and Pope both knew if JJ found out, he'd lose his shit.

not much longer after the Maybank was running back down the dock calling their names, Adria only glanced to him from where she was sitting her head resting on her hand to cover the bruise and small cut.

"Guys! you are not gonna believe what just happened to me!" JJ laughed with glee as he got onto the boat "Whoo! that was the best 100 bucks I ever made, when I say count me in on all these grocery deliveries, Pope, I mean it"

almost immediately after JJ had gotten on Pope began to drive the boat away "what's up with you?" JJ questions the boy but Pope stayed silent "bro, you good?"

JJ leaned forward as he looked at him before his face fell and he shot up from his spot "yo, what happened to your face, dude?" he began to lift up Popes hat, but Pope quickly pulled it back down "Jesus!"

JJ turned around to Adria, and quickly made his way towards her, slight anger prominent on his face.

Adria sighed as she closed her eyes.

JJ lowered her hand "JJ-" she utter but he ignored her as he gently turned her face to see the cut and bruise.

His jaw clenched as he looked between the two "what happened?"

"Rafe and Topper jumped me, Adria tried to help but she got caught in it too" Pope explained his eyes not looking at the boy "they said no Pogues on their side of the island"

JJ looked to Adria but she looked away from his gaze, gnawing on the inside of her cheek.

"what are you going to do?" he directs to Pope, the two share a look.

The three were now out in front of Topper's house and usually she would try to stop them from doing something stupid like this but the more she thought the more she didn't care because Topper deserved what was about to happen.

the three looked at the boat on the dock at Toppers place while Pope spoke "2020 Malibu, 24-MXC, worlds finest wakesetter. Number one in quality, luxury, and performance"

"this is war, Pope" JJ spoke his eyes still on the boat "they hit us, we hit them... do it"

Pope took off his hat and Adria took it from his grip.

Pope took a breath and dove into the water, swimming towards the boat.

"Hey" JJ looked at the girl beside him "You okay?"

Adria took a breath as she nods "I'll survive, Jay." She looked at him with a tight-lipped smile "don't worry"

JJ's eyes stayed trained on her with concern. He was furious at what had happened to them and was angry with himself for not being there.

Finally he tears his gaze from the girl while they watch their friend as he climbs onto the boat.

JJ reached down and grabbed the ladder getting it ready for Pope to climb back on so they could make a quick getaway if something was to go wrong.

A smirk appeared on Adria's face when Pope held up the plug to the boat a smile on his face.

JJ chuckled "wow, you did it! I am so proud of you right now, holy crap!"

Pope climbed back onto the boat Adria handing him his hat as she gave the two a look "if Kiara ever finds out we did this, she can never know I sat by and let it happen, she might actually kill me"

Pope looked between the pair "you guys can't tell anybody"

JJ nods "oh yeah, totally dude-"

Pope shook his head "no I'm serious" he gave the two a stern look "Not Kie, not John b, nobody"

JJ raised his hands "yup, my lips are sealed."

"I won't say anything, I'll make something up about this" Adria motioned the bruise and cut.

"here give me that, give me that" JJ held his hand out as Pope handed him the plug and he quickly chucked it into the water while Pope rushed to start the boat and drive away

Adria went to walk towards the cockpit bit paused as she watch the boat begin to slowly sink "karma really is a bitch" she muttered before walking into the cockpit and taking a seat.

Once the three had gotten back the headed down to the beach to meet up with Kie and John b who were already out in the water, the three running out and joining them with their surfboards.

After awhile Adria sat on her board running a hand through her wet hair as she watched the sunset, feeling a sense of calm as the orange and pink colours swirled together while day began to turn into night not even noticing Kiara coming up beside her.

Kiara's brows furrow as she looks at the side of her face "Adria, what the hell happened to your face?"

She looked at her "oh, I just" she shrugged "fell hit my head pretty hard" she chuckled lightly, Kiara's concerned gaze still on her "really, I'm okay Kie, I promise"

Kiara sighed as she nodded her head "could you maybe try to be more careful, Because let's be honest with out you, I might actually lose my mind being stuck with them" she joked

Adria laughed at her comment as she nodded "I will try to be more careful"

Kiara smiled as she nodded her head "good"



──••──




The group were sitting in the hammocks in John b's backyard, the cool night breeze hitting the Monroe's face.

Adria's eyes were closed as she rested her head on Kie's shoulder and Kiara's head resting on Adria's

"you really think it's out there? like, no bullshit?" Pope questioned gaining their attention

"My father thought it was" John b answered Pope nodded and looked at him "but do you?"

John b was silent for a moment "after hearing his voice on that tape. . . I think I do"

"only one way to find out" Pope said as he raised his hand the pair doing the handshake

Kiara raised her head and looked at them "look, we're gonna find it, you know? Even JJ believes" she chuckles.

Adria faked a gasp a smirk falling on her face "JJ, oh my god, do you really believe?"

"totally" he answered with a nod of his head "wait. Are we talking about four mil?"

"four hundred mil" Kiara and Pope correct at the same time

"jinx"

JJ adjusted himself on the hammock "I'm gonna dream about shipwrecks, goodnight bird"

"goodnight bird shit" John b calls back making Adria chuckle as she rolls over on the hammock closing her eyes as sleep slowly took over.





──••──





The five were out on the boat, following the directions towards where the shipwreck is supposed to be.

"All right JJ, in it here" John b hollered at him

"Roger that, X marks the spot"

"alright everybody, to going full Kook" John B spoke as he lowered the drone into the water.

Kiara was adding more length to the tether watching for the numbers while Adria held a piece of chalk in her hand, ready to tally how far they were while Pope was controlling it.

"Alright Jj, we're right over it. Ten seconds northwest" John b informed his friend as JJ nodded "got it, ten seconds northwest"

"one hundred feet" Kiara called out and Adria marked it on the side of the boat.

but Pope gasps pulling her attention away as she looks over her shoulder to him "what?"

John b quickly shot up from his seat "what, what, what, what" he asked repeatedly as he made his way over to him but Pope shook his head "it's nothing"

John b groans as he walks back over to his seat "Sorry I thought--"

"don't do that to me man" JJ called out .

"my bad, just thought I saw, never mind" Pope shook his head.

Adria sighed as she leaned onto the side of the boat fiddling with the chalk in her hand. The anticipation was driving her nuts and the thought of four hundred Million dollars might be or not be there, made her only want to know more.

"four hundred feet" Kiara informed them as Adria marked it down once again, as the more time went by the rougher the waves began to get.

Adria glanced down to the water "the tides turning" she mumbled before repeating it louder for the rest to hear.

John b looked at the tablet that showed where they were before to his blonde friend "hey, JJ. Ten seconds easy alright, south south-east"

JJ nodded as he began to turn the boat "copy that"

"JJ twenty seconds, mid speed alright, south"

"copy that, Aye aye" he continued to steer the boat "keep the tether out of the prop!"

"I'm trying" Kiara replied and Adria set the chalk down as she grabbed ahold of the tether to help Kiara to keep the Tether away from the propeller

"John b is that good?" JJ question looking over his shoulder and John b gave him a thumbs up "we're good"

Kiara looked at the red tap on the tether "Okay, 700 feet!" Adria nodded and added it to the other tallies as she looked to the sky at the sound of thunder booming in the air, the boat rocked causing her to stumble slightly

"JJ hold it steady" John b shouted at his friend

Adria marked the edge of the boat with the chalk once again "900 feet!" she shouted informing the group

Pope looked to the boy in the cockpit "Jj, we're gonna turtle in this storm, man"

"920 feet!" Kiara hollered

"crank it north by northwest ten seconds!" John b ordered before turning back to Pope "Pope, how we doing?"

"almost there"

"John b there's to much current! we're gonna loose it" Kiara shouted as she gripped onto the tether tightly, Adria dropped the chalk as she reached forward grabbing ahold of the tether once again

"south, southwest JJ, hard!" John b looked back at the tablet before hollering to the boy again "Half speed. steady at this bearing, JJ!"

John b looked away from the tablet to his other friend "what do you got Pope? what do you got man? what do you see?"

Pope sighed "nothing a whole lot of nothing"

"come on you should right above it brother" John b said as he ran a hand through his hair

"960!" Kiara hollered out "970!" she continued to lower the tether shaking her head "980!"

"I'm at the bottom! I'm at the bottom!" Pope spoke quickly and John b turned to JJ "Okay, steady here, JJ stead here, quarter speed, alright"

the Routledge looked back to Pope and the screen he was looking at "you should be seeing something man"

"I know- wait, wait, wait" Adria and Kiara rushed up beside him "oh, Good god"

"see anything?" JJ questions as john b chuckles "It's the royal merchant"

a smile spread on the Monroe's face as she chuckled "oh my god"
