"I must admit, you were good on this," said Kie to Isis who was driving. "I didn't expect you to lie so easily."

She smiled. "Thanks, Kie. I had to prove myself worthy."

"You're worthy a thousand times," replied JJ. "Honestly, I started to think she'd throw us out. But you came in and save the day. And the thing with your earring!! Pure genius."

She laughed as they all nodded.

"Is that even gold?" asked Sarah, giggling.

Isis shook her head. "Plated."

They all bursted out laughing.

"So... They keep money out here?" asked Pope a few minutes later, as they arrived in an area that was almost scary, considering the large number of trees around the road.

"That's what she said," replied JJ, before letting out a chuckle. He repeated in a silly voice. "That's what she said--"

"Stop," Pope cut off.

In the rear-view mirror, Isis saw the little puppy face JJ made, and couldn't help but smile.

"I've never even heard of Resurrection Drive," Sarah said.

"Cause you're rich," replied JJ.

"You've never heard of it either," rebuked Kie.

"Thank you."

"Stop fighting, kids," teased Isis.

JJ leaned behind her and tickled her neck.

"No, JJ!" she chortled. "You'll get us in an accident. Stay on your seat."

"All right, mom..." said JJ, pretending to sulk.

Pope pulled a face. "No, that's super gross."

"I agree," John B spoke in.

"Actually, me too," supported Isis.

JJ sighed. "You're not funny..." he mumbled.

Isis smiled, but didn't reply.

"There's nothing but weeds back here," lamented Kie.

"All right, just 'cause it's just weeds, doesn't mean it's, like..."

He stopped. Isis frowned. Then, they heard police sirens whooping.

"What the fuck?--" muttered Isis.

"Cops? Out here??" inquired Kie.

"God! Are you kidding me?!" yelled JJ.

"What did we do?"

"Why are we getting pulled over?" worried Pope.

"Stop the car," said John B, putting his hand on Isis' shoulder. "You, stash that," he demanded to JJ.
