Kie stayed outside with the little girls while the boys went in and tried to report the wreck, but the place was filled with other people full of complaints and their own issues, including one woman ranting about her diabetic dog to the coast guard that was behind the counter.
"Well, that went well." Pope remarks as they walk out of the building.
"So, what's the plan?" JJ asks.
"I think I know how we're gonna find the guy who owns that boat." John B says.
"No, no, we don't know whose room that is. It could belong to anyone." Pope says.
"I'm in." JJ says, tossing the key to Kie.
"Come on. Be lookout." Kie says. "We should drop these two off first, though."
"Why?" JJ shrugs.
"Uh, cause we're about to break a law or two." Kie says like it's obvious.
"They'll be in the boat, safe." JJ shrugs.
"JJ." Kie gives him a look.
"Are you guys going to jail?" Rosie grins.
"No. Why do you seem so excited about that?" JJ frowns.
"I just think it'd be funny." Rosie shrugs.
"There's nothing to do at the chateau but clean." Cora rolls her eyes. "You guys don't let us go by the water when you're not there."
"Do you even listen to that rule?" JJ asks.
"Of course." Cora sweetly smiles making JJ roll his eyes.
"Finder's fee. Just sayin'." John B tells Pope. "And, hey, at least you'll only be an accomplice."
"Man." Pope sighs.
"Come on, bubba." John B calls.
"We'll be good." Rosie promises.
"Mm-hmm. Right." Kie rolls her eyes. "I'm not in charge of them, it is your funerals."

They drive up to the motel, it a complete mess due to the hurricane.
"I thought the chateau looked bad." JJ comments.
"This place is a shitshow." John B says.
"Motel or meth lab?" Kie asks.
"You be the judge." Pope says.
"Doesn't look like the type of place somebody with a Grady-White would stay." John B says.
"No, it looks like a place someone with a Grady-White would get killed." Pope says.
"This is your captain speaking. HMS Pogue comin' in for landing." JJ mimics static. He jumps out of the boat, letting out a whoop, and he ties it off.
"We good?" John B asks.
"Yeah, we good." JJ answers.
"All right. Here goes nothin'." John B says.
"I wanna go." Cora says.
JJ gasps and grins at her.
"No." JJ states, his smile dropping, and he gently pokes her in the forehead. Cora glares at him, JJ sweetly smiling at her. "Listen to Kie." He tells her, knowing she won't listen to Pope since she finds him too bossy.
"Hey." Pope calls.
"Yeah?" John B turns to him.
"Don't let him do anything stupid." Pope points to JJ.
