John B and i fell asleep at the dock last night after we left the raft go. The next morning i woke up but my brother wasnt with me, I thought maybe he had gone to get some air so i just walked back to the Chateau and took a shower

I was having some breakfast when I saw JJ enter the house "Mornin'" i said and smiled at him

"Mornin' Princess, how'd you sleep?" he asked me and sat next to me

"John B and i fell asleep at the dock, not the most comfortable place but at least i got some sleep" i told him "You?"

"Good, but I missed your cuddles" he said, I got up and put the dishes on the sink

JJ got up and hugged me from behind "You okay?"

"Yeah" i said and kissed him "I love you"

"I love you more" he said "I love you most" i told him smirking, he chuckled and said "Impossible" we reconected our lips one more time but then we heard John B walk into the house with Kie

"Hey! Where were you?" i asked him

"Come on, lets go to the dock" he said and the four of us made our way outside

"You sure he got everything?" asked Kie to JB when he finished telling us about his trip to the Crain house

"Every bar" replied John B not showing any emotion "The whole enchilada"

I sighed and rested my head on JJ's shoulder

"Look, its not like I expected a happy ending or some shit" said my brother and took off his cast which earned him a lecture from Kie

"Guys! Guys!" we heard Pope scream and saw him running towards us in his interview clothes and out if breath "Oh! Oh! Oh, God. I ran all the way here"

"You all right?" i asked him as I saw him trying to catch his breath

"How was the interview, Pope?" asked him JJ when he had reached us

"Dont ask" he said making me concerned because he had been talking about that moment for weeks

"JB...Look, im sorry, Dude. About everything" said Pope still panting

"Its fine" replied my brother

"But-- But i dont have a lot of time, and-- and i have information that is tactically relevant" said Pope starting to rant "So, before I had my interview, my dad said he was going down to the private airstrip to cut palms for Cameron's big plane" he took a breath and continued

"Because it was too heavy, it needed a longer landing strip to take off. So, im there sitting in my interview thinking to myself 'Hm. Why would Cameron need a longer airstrip to take off? What could be so heavy to weigh it down?'"

We all sat up straight and looked at eachother

"Gold" i mumbled as excitement filled my body

"Exactly. Guys, this is our chance, but it leaves tonight, and we have to go" Pope said urgently
