John B parks outside of Tannyhill and the four teens get out.
"Just stay in here." JJ whispers to the two girls. Cora and Rosie, for once, actually listen to him, remaining in their seats as Pope slides the door shut.
The two occupy themselves with rock, paper, scissors, stopping when they hear some noise that sounds like a strangled animal.
"What was that?" Rosie whispers.
"Where'd Sarah go?" Cora frowns, not finding the blonde girl anywhere.
"What are they doing?" Rosie mumbles, watching the three boys start to climb over the wall.
"Being idiots." Cora answers.
The girls hear a horn honk, looking out the windshield and watching a golf cart drive up, stopping by the boys.
"Shit." Rosie hisses, dropping to the floor, Cora quickly following her.
"Would he see us? He's far away." Cora whispers.
"He's got a flashlight, though." Rosie says.
Cora gets up, peeking over the front seat. She glances at JJ, John B, and Pope who are all sitting on the ground on their knees and their hands are in the air. She gasps when she's able to make out what's in the man's arms.
"He's got a gun." Cora whispers.
"What?" Rosie's heart drops, scrambling to be next to her, peeking her head up over the seat.
"Is he gonna shoot them?" Cora whispers.
"If they're unlucky." Rosie says.
"JJ says we're always unlucky." Cora pouts, keeping her eyes glued to her brother, waiting to see if his body will go down.
"Sir, can I just talk to you for a minute?" JJ asks. "Just to explain." He slowly starts to get up. "Sir, I know you think we're just some derelict kids from the Cut, but we weren't that to Mr. Cameron."
"Sure weren't." John B comments.
"We were his yard workers, sir." JJ takes his hat off. "We were just waiting for our yard associate, Ja-- Tommy, to get back from planting a row of flowers for Mr. Cameron's memorial."
"Keep talking." The guy tells him.

"The Knight of the Rhododendron lives on..." JJ says, "in here." He points to the man's heart. "That's why we planted those flowers."
"Sure. Yes." John B says.
"Yep. That's why." Pope says.
"You smell that, right?" JJ asks.
"What is that, night blooming Jasmine?" The guy asks after sniffing the air.
"No, that's more like, um... like, uh... sir, that's, um... natural Viagra." JJ says.
"Okay!" John B says.
"That's what it is." JJ says.
"Yeah." Pope says.
"Really?" The guy asks.
"One sniff and bam! It's hammer time!" JJ says. "You know what I'm saying?"
"What's Viagra?" Rosie whispers and Cora shrugs.
"Our associate Tommy should be here any minute." Pope says.
"We'll be quiet, all right?" JJ assures. "And we'll finish up here. I'm sorry to bother you."
"See that you do." The guy says.
"Yep." Pope nods.
"I gotta get some of those flowers." The guy says, getting on the golf cart and driving away. The girls quickly duck before he can possibly notice them.
