"Come on Angel, I'm gonna teach you." JJ says as he grabs my waist and pulls me in front of him. He places her hands on the wheel, and his hands over mine. "Good, stay there." He smiled. 

I take my eyes off the front of the boat and look up to JJ. JJ's eyes flicker to my lips. My stomach fills with butterflies.

He kisses my neck a bit too intimately as he begins sucking on my neck. "JJ you're trying to teach me to drive a boat remember" I giggle and he stops with a smile.

"Alright, JJ, Pin it here." John B says  to JJ. 

"Roger that! X marks the spot." JJ says snapping back into reality. I move out of the way as JJ stops the boat.

"Alright, ladies and gentlemen. To going full kook." John B says as he holds the drone. John B lowers the drone into the water.  I stand up beside Pope as we try to search for the Royal Merchant in the water.

"The fish are so pretty." I mumble tugging on the sleeves of my-JJ's -jumper. JJ had given me his jumper since I was shivering but now he's left in just his tank top. I know that he's cold but he refuses to take it back no matter how May times I tell him to take it back. 

"Not what we should be focusing on." Pope chuckles as ever so slightly as he moves the dial. 

"They're pretty." I shrug ignoring Pope. 

"Alright JJ, we're right over it. Ten seconds northwest." John B shouts to the boy.

"Got it! Ten seconds northwest." JJ shouts  back.

"One hundred feet!" Kie informs the group letting us know how deep the drone has gone.

Pope gasps once he sees a large fish. "What? What, what?" John B rushes to the screen and I burst out laughing. 

"It's nothing." Pope played it off. "Sorry. I thought—" 

"Don't do that to me man." JJ shouts looking behind him. We make short eye contact but he still manages to wink and me making me blush.

"My bad. I just thought I saw-" Pope looks at me as I cut him off.

"A mermaid?" I suggest with a. laugh, I place on hand on his shoulder. As I stand up and walk over to JJ. I just stand next to him as I don't want to hug him so I'm in the way.

"And to quote The Hobbit, 'down, down, to Goblin Town. Down, down, you go, my lad.'" Pope quotes.

"Four hundred feet." Kie shouts as she draws  a line on the side of the boat with chalk. "The tides turning." She tells the group as we hear a clap of thunder.

"Hey JJ?" John B says as he looks at the monitor. 

"Yup?" JJ nods. 

"Ten seconds easy. Right south-south east."

"Copy that." 

"Do you think we'll find anything?" I question, ignoring John B and JJ as they shout back and forth to each other.

"I hope so" JJ answers in between shouts. 

"I have a bad feeling." I utter . "I don't think we're gonna find anything." I don't  want to tell John B, but something doesn't feel right. 

"700 feet!" Kie shouts. The wind is  picking up and the thunder is getting louder.

"Should we turn back?!" I ask the group looking up to the black clouds forming above us. I feel slightly anxious at the sudden weather change.

"We've come too far to head back now. JJ. Hold it steady!" John B shouts over the loud rumbling. 

"Okay. 900!" Kie yells.

  "JJ, were gonna turtle in this storm man." Pope shouts back to JJ.  "920!" 

"Crank it north by northwest! Ten seconds!" John B shouts.

I walk back over to Pope kneeling down next to him so we're at the same height. I take a short look at the screen. "There's still nothing." I look to Pope. "We're not going to find it." 

"How we doing?" John B questions both me and Pope . 

"Almost there." Pope cuts in before I  can say anything.

"John B there's too much current?" Kie shout as she struggles to hold onto the wire and keep it in place. "We're gonna lose it!"

"South, southwest JJ. Hard!" John B ignores Kie. 

"JB, we need to go home. We can come back-" I walk up to the boy and look into his brown eyes.

"No." John B snaps at me. JJ turns and faces the pair of us. John B has never snapped at at me. 

"Look, JB if we fucking die on this boat looking for this stupid gold that we're probably not gonna find, that's your fault." I prod his chest angrily. I take a deep breath before going to join JJ.

"Are you okay?" JJ asks with a concerned tone.
"I just hope this isn't all for nothing." I nod with a smile.

"Half speed. Steady at this bearing JJ." John B shouts to JJ. I turn and watch anxiously as Pope and JB stare  at the screen desperate to find something. "Steady here JJ. Quarter speed alright."

"You see anything?" JJ shouts to Pope and John B  "It's the royal merchant." John B said in a whisper.

I walk over to look at the screen we begin to search the merchant but so far we can't find any gold.
