"I just don't get it. I mean, you guys saw the map. He hides his gold so no one finds it for 170 years." Pope ranted on as the group stayed near the tree, "And then he sends a message to his son, Robert, to come here to his mother's grave, but the message never gets to him. Denmark wanted him to find the cross. I know we're in the right spot. It just feels like-"
"Like we missed something?" JJ's voice caught their attention, heads turning to see he'd been looking up at the tree, "Come here."
Bali gave a odd look as JJ crawled up on the twinkie, Kie following after, "JJ, get down."
"Hang on, hang on." he waved her off, "That looks like-"
"The painting in the island room." Kie added in as she looked at the hole in the tree.
"Reach in there!" Bali encouraged from the ground, squinting as she looked up at them.
"It's worth a shot, right?" JJ spoke up with a shrug, "Go for it."
"No chance." Kie gave a stupid look.
"You do it!" Sarah scoffed from the ground.
"Sorry, I went in the storm drain." Kie said back.
"She did go in the storm drain." Pope sided with Kie.
"Yeah. No, i'm gonna do it. It's just..." JJ trialed off as he pulled his sleeve up some.
"He's scared." Kie whispered.
"Terrified." Bali agreed.
"I'm not scared, dude." JJ scoffed in disbelief with them.
"You seem scared." Kie laughed.
JJ slowly reached his hand into the tree, getting closer before letting out a shout. Bali huffed, crossing her arms as everyone began to freak out. Kie yanking on his body while John B tried to climb the twinkie. JJ began to laugh, relaxing as everyone gave looks of disbelief. He met Bali's eye, "You weren't worried?"
"I knew you were lying." she rolled her eyes, "Boy who cried wolf."
"Real original." Pope scoffed.
"Wait, there's seriously something in here." JJ shook his head, digging deeper before retracting his arm with a golden and maroon trinket.
"Let me see it." Pope reached up. Bali held her hand up to help Kie down, doing the same with JJ as he stumbled into her some, hands staying latched, "HMS Royal Merchant."
"Chills." Bali held her arms out to show the little bumps on her arms.
"Give it to the captain. Here we go. It's a spyglass." JJ yanked it open, peering through the peephole.
"There's something on the end." Kie nodded, their eyes moving toward the little writing.
"An inscription right there. Look at that shit." John B looked down at it.
