The Pogues

To Going Full Kook

They nodded hesitantly as they pulled off the branches and vines off the opening so she could slide in. John B looked at JJ, "Give her a boost."

He nodded and sat against the wall, lacing his two hands together and putting them in front so she could put her foot on it. "I'm gonna boost you, all right. I've seen it in the movies several times. Ready?"

She giggled and turned to John B, "Remind me what we're looking for." He looked into her eyes, "You'll know when you see it."

She gave the flashlight to Kie and took a deep breathe, "If any of you make a comment about my underwear, I'll shave your hair off."

They grinned and JJ smirked, "All right, so put your hands right there."

She placed her foot in his hands with her shoe and put her hands on his shoulder, "All right, on three."

Cassie just pulled herself without the count off as JJ huffed, "Okay, never mind. Just forget about three."

She pulled herself up and into the cavern, asking for the flashlight. Kie set it in her hand and was able to stand up. John B spoke through the hole, "You alive? You got, like, a heartbeat and everything?"

Cassie looked around, "So far."

She heard JJ mutter a curse as she went on, "I need some more light."

John B nodded, "Yeah, yeah, here. Yeah, I gotcha." He stuck his lantern through the hole as she grabbed it. She looked around and in a small crevasse, a large white envelope was placed. JJ spoke up, "Did you find something? Is there gold?"

"You're going to want to see this, Brandy."

She was able to get out with the help of JJ, she grinned and gave the envelope to John B, which had the words, For Bird, written in red.

"Holy shit," he said, staring at the envelope, "This is from my dad."

A car was spotted rolling up to their exact location, making JJ say, "Code red. Code red. Square groupers! Square groupers!"

"Oh shit," Cassie said as they started running as JJ was yelling, "It's the guys who robbed your house." They hid behind the wall frantically turning off their lights, which gave John B a problem. One of the men yelled, "I see something!"

JJ poked his head out as Kie asked, "Do you think it's them?" "Homie's got a gun," JJ responded. He laced his hand with Cassie's, making her blush into the darkness. She couldn't anticipate getting caught, "Screw this."

She pulled JJ with her as they started to run to the other side of the entrance. They could hear the men shouting as they approached the gate. JJ went over first, making sure Cassie got down safely before getting Kie and John B. Finally, Pope tried to get over, getting stuck on the top of the gate. The Pogues shouted at him, making him yell, "Guys! Guys! Guys, I'm stuck."

JJ ran over, "Pope, don't move, okay?"

He put his hands on Pope's frame and started pulling. "You're gonna rip me," Pope said, his voice quivering, "Wait. You're gonna rip me!"

Finally JJ got him loose, leaving his shorts hanging on the gate. Cassie couldn't help but laugh at Pope who was trying to cover all that he could. JJ laughed, "Nice! Come on, dude. It's a little Tootsie Roll."

Cassie couldn't help but roll over in laughter as she slammed the door shut while they laughed in the van together. Cassie wrapped her arms around the driver's head rest and John B's chest, whispering, "You did it. Brandy, you did it." The comment made John B smile while making JJ scowl in the corner of the car. It was quickly wiped off as Cassie threw herself onto JJ, making a smile print onto his face. He put an arm around her as they sang happy songs back to the Chateau. They had really found something.
