They're back on the dock at Heyward's shop.
"I still can't believe that you're related to Denmark Tanny." John B says.
"Uh-huh." JJ nods happily.
"Are we in the presence of a royal?" John B asks.
"A king?" JJ asks. "We shall crown him." He places an invisible crown on top of Pope's head. Cora and Rosie both giggle. "All hail the Lord of Tannyhill!" He says with an accent. "We're not worthy!" He calls out as the group continuously bow to him.
"All right, all right. Everybody relax. Can we relax, please?" Pope says.
"Relocate to Cat's Ass, question mark?" Sarah asks.
"I'm with that." JJ says.
"How soon can we move in?" Kie asks.
"Cause I don't have a place to stay." JJ says. "Which means she doesn't." He points to his sister.
"Me either." Kie says. "Bunk beds?"
"Bunk beds." JJ agrees. "Cheers to that."
"Ooh, I want a bunk bed!" Rosie grins.
"Bunk beds all around." Kie grins.
"I just keep thinking about the letter, the one that Limbrey sent. It had the wheat symbol on it. Like, that must mean it has something to do with the Royal Merchant." Pope says.
"Yeah. Something seems fishy." JJ agrees.
"But if we find that cross, we can split it like we were gonna split the gold." Pope says.
"Yeah, I'm with that." JJ says.
"And live happily ever after?" They turn to find Limbrey with a guy.
JJ grabs the back of Cora's shirt, pulling her with him as he backs up. He protectively wraps his arm around her chest, keeping his tight grip.
John B straightens up, grabbing Rosie's arm and pulling her behind him. Rosie presses herself against him, clutching onto his shirt. She's had enough experience with bad people, she doesn't want to get hurt again.
"You assaulted my father." Pope sneers, walking closer to them. Renfield pushes him away from Limbrey.
"Oh, I didn't assault anyone." Limbrey says.
"He can identify the psycho from a mile away." Kie states.
"Why would my employee a... a-assault your father?" Limbrey asks. JJ winks at John B. "That's absurd." John B moves so he's behind the two adults. Rosie is latched onto him, forcing John B to take her with him. "Listen, we can keep on negotiating, but the fact is that I want the key."
Renfield holds Pope against a post. Pope fights against his hold, but isn't able to do much.
"Hey!" Kie protests. JJ barks at Renfield.
"Stop it!" Cora yells, JJ's tight grip keeping her from moving much.
"And I won't stop until I have it. I don't have a choice, which means you don't either." Limbrey states.
"It's Limbrey, right?" John B asks, gaining everybody's attention. They turn to see him holding the key. "Is that right?" The only one who doesn't turn is JJ who keeps his glare on Renfield.
"Yes." Limbrey says.
"Is this what you're looking for?" John B asks.
"Yes, it is." Limbrey answers.
"Looking at the tide right now, I'd say it's about 20 feet deep out there." John B says as Renfield lets go of Pope, but stays in front of him. JJ wraps both arms around Cora, lightly drumming his fingers against her stomach. "So, if I just threw it in the channel, the probability of you finding it again is slim to none. You wanna give it a shot? Let's see what happens, right?"
