"Pope hate to Break it to you but that's wood"I state rubbing Cj's sides

"No,no it had to be here"he says hitting the wood again

"Bro look out for that giant wasp nest above your head"I warn him

"Hey, just nice and slow, all right? Nice and easy"Johny instructs him

Pope kicks the wood breaking a piece off falling down by us

"Look, it's hallow. Go get me a crowbar!"CJ goes and grabs a crowbar out of her dad's tool box

"What are you gonna do, Pope? I don't want this entire church to collapse  on top of us. That's all I'm saying" I tell him

CJ run below Pope throwing the crowbar at him first go she turns around and looks at me we clap slowly for her

Pope hits the beam easily trying not to hit the wasp nest right above him

He starts hitting it more we begin to see gold underneath we all gasp and look at each other shocked

"Do you guys see that?"Johnny asks

We all celebrate "we did it! We did it"Pope accidentally hits the nest

till the wasp start swarming Pope

"Okay their stinging now. Ow" he yells causing him to drop the crowbar

Pope starts swatting them away but he ends up slipping and now he's hanging on to the beam we all rush to drag so old cushions and put them underneath Pope he then slips falling on the cushions

CJ rushes I we to him checking in him"your okay Pope"she holds his hand Pope grabs her and rolls them away as the cross just misses them

"Holy shit"we rush to them

"You guy's okay"I hold my hand out for cj I hug her tightly so Pope can get some air

"CJ you okay"he ask her still balled up

"Yeah I'm okay thanks Popie"

"You good"John b ask him we all surround him checking on him

"Yeah I'm good. Just give me like one second to like catch my breath"he says Sarah rub his shoulder

"You did it Pope"jb tells him

"Pope she's... Beautiful"I look at the cross CJ holds me tighter

"I've never seen anything like it"Sarah say looking at the cross

"Details insane"Cj says

"Well this is why limbrey wanted the key so bad"

Pope starts standing up so CJ leaves my side to help him I help her move him so he can sit on a bench

"Woah good find. How much do you think she's worth? Like if we melt melted her old bones down dude, I'm talking like  high billions"I turn to jb

"This belongs in a- no! in a museum"he interrupts me

"What? so no one see's her"

"I agree with Jay we looked so hard for this and we're just gonna give it to a museum"CJ ask backing me up

"Everyone will get to see it if it's in a museum"Sarah tells

"Of course you would be in his side you his puppy dog"Kie remarks

I glare at her

"Your just saying that cause you want to be miss goodie to shoes that had no boyfriend"CJ remarks we all look at her shocked

I see john b try not to laugh

"Are you kidding?" I ask them

"Hey! It's my ancestors cross!"Pope says stopping us from arguing anymore

"Right, okay All right, All right well..."

"This is bigger than money and the world's gotta know the truth"Pope continues

"Yes and if we don't get this shit outta here  before limbrey gets here, nobody's gonna know. So saddle up" John b says as we each grab a side of the cross and pull it we stop and catch our breath

Sarah and Pope pulled down so I start complaining because they weren't even lifting when we all lift we couldn't hold it for long we all started to argue

I didn't even notice Pope and Cj weren't arguing

"Okay guys I can't. I can't"he starts lowering the cross

"No,no Pope hang on there"

"No,no,no,no,no"

He drops the cross on the floor
