After their little escape from the party the Pogues were currently enjoying each other's company at the little bonfire they made.
"Hey guys, so like, my dad is already gonna kill me, so what's this mandatory meeting about?"
Pope asked.
"Might as well tell him, man, before we're gaffed."
JJ said to John B as he threw a stick in the fire.
"You ready for this?"
John B asked.
"Yeah."
Kie answered.
"So, the gold never went down the royal merchant."
John B confessed.
"Oh my god, here we go again with this."
Pope commented.
"No No, hear him out, okay?"
Isla said to Pope, already knowing what John B was about to tell them.
"It's been here the whole time. It's on the Island."
John B stated.
"Are you serious? Oh my god."
Kiara said.
"I'd like to voice my skepticism."
Pope replied.
"I'm sure you would Pope, but can I please present you with my evidence sir?"
John B suggested while standing up from his seat.
"All right, so in my bacpack, I have a letter from Denmark Tanny."
John B said showing his friend a letter.
"Who the hell is that?"
Kiara asked, confused by the unfamiliar name.
"Denmark Tanny was a slave that survived the Royal Merchant wreck, check this out."
John B explained, showing Kie the letter.
"Okay, slaves weren't mentioned as cree members on the ship, but my dad, he found the complete manifest. That was his big discovery. So, Tanny used the gold from the merchant to buy his freedom. After that, he bought his farm.."
JB explained.
"Drumroll please, because that farm is.."
John B said while everyone started to make a drumroll sound with their hands.
"Tannyhil plantation."
"Tanyhil?"
Kiara asked suprised.
"Yeah, so after that, he used his money to free even more slaves, and then he sold a shit ton of rice which pisses off all the white planters, and then, they decide to lynch him. So on the day they were coming to get him, he writes a letter to his son as a farewell, and in the last line of that letter, he leaves a codes message about where to find the gold."
John B explained, making Kiara exited by his discovery.
"Where?"
She asked smiling.
"Harvest the wheat in parcel nine, near the water."
John B told them.
"Except, there is no wheat. You see, Wheat is code for gold. Check this out,"
John B said showing Pope something on the paper.
"The gold is in parcel nine, near the water."
He said making Kie gasp in excitement.
"Holy shit."
Pope mutterd while looking at the paper.
"All we need is an original survey map of the property, and we've found the gold."
John B said happily.
"Okay, so this might have a small chance of being actually true."
Pope confessed.
"Dude it's like king tut"
Kiara said happily.
"I'm a genius."
John B said proudly while JJ lifted him up.
"Hello! Fire! You're near the fire, you're gonna burn."
John B said so that JJ would put him down.
"I'm so fucking proud of you right now."
JJ said to the boy.
"Thank you. That's really sweet of you."
John B smiled.
"Omygod we're gonna be rich, bitches!"
Isla yelled excited.
"Guys, what's the plan?"
Pope asked.
"Good quiestion, so, Sarah Cameron's coming tonight. She's gonna bring an original survey map-"
John B explained but Kie interrupted him.
"Hold on, Sarah? Why Sarah?"
Kiara asked confused, everyone could tell that she did not agree with dragging the Cameron girl into this.
"Uhm.."
John B began, trying to find an answer.
"This is gonna be good."
JJ sighed as he stood around Isla, leaning his hands on her shoulders.
"Sarah um, she- she got me into the archives in Chapel Hill yesterday, and that's where I got the letter."
John B explained.
"You were in Chapel Hill with Sarah Cameron?"
Kiara asked angrily, the Carrera girl had some kind of beef going on with Sarah, which she never spoke about to anyone.
"Yeah uhm."
John B shrugged, again thinking of a good way to answer her question.
"He was mackin on her."
JJ said, making Isla smack his arm, not wanting to create any more drama.
"I wasn't macking."
John B groaned.
"You were totally macking Sarah Cameron."
JJ replied, not noticing the discomfort on Kiara's face.
"I wasn't macking on her, okay? I was using her for access."
John B explained.
"There was acces, all right."
JJ commented while playing with the bun on Isla's head. Isla snorted at his comment and looked back to Kiara, taking away the smirk on her face.
"Did you tell her about the treassure?"
Kie asked angrily.
"I was trying to get into the archives."
John B argued, he was starting to get annoyed by Kiara's hatred towards the Cameron girl.
"Is that a yes?"
Kiara asked, raising her eyebrow.
"Jeaaaalous."
JJ whispered in Isla's ear, making her laugh quietly, trying to hide it by coughing.
"I left out key details."
John B confessed, trying to make it all sound better than it was.
"Yo, what? You let a kook in on our secret? What about pogue life? What about the T-shirt company bro?l
Kiara asked angrily, she was now beyond disappointed with John B.
"I was just using her for information."
John B said again.
"Why don't I believe you?"
Kiara asked.
"I'm trying to make us filthy rich here."
John B tried to reason with her, but Kiara was already mad.
"Okay, so that we can pay off a boat, or or, send you to autopsy school to study dead bodies."
John B said pointing towards Pope.
"Look, you guys know me, do I look like the type of person to fall for Sarah Cameron?"
John B asked.
"Well,,- yeah, you do."
Isla confessed, making JJ laugh and John B roll his eyes at her.
"Just, just stop."
John B said to Isla, annoyed by her comment.
"Hey, you asked."
Isla defended herself, putting her hands up in surrender.
"Look, you don't know her yet, I do! You can't trust her!"
Kiara warned.
"Her brother did hit me in the back with a golf club."
Pope confessed.
"Rafe and Sarah are two different human beings."
John B scoffed.
"Are they tho?"
Isla asked, scrunching up her nose.
"What's your problem with Sarah Cameron?"
JJ asked Isla confused.
"She's a Kook, that's dating another Kook, who's friends with another kook, which so happens to be her brother, and these two kooks happen to be the ones beating you guys up all the time. That's my problem."
Isla explained, rolling her eyes. She didn't actually have a problem with Sarah personally, they hardly ever talked, but still, Isla hates Kooks, and Sarah is a kook.
"Alright and what did she do to you Kie?"
JJ asked, turning his head to the other girl.
"She's like a spitting cobra. First she blinds you and then-"
Kie explained but Isla interrupted her.
"This is a really bad analogy Kie."
She said honestly, earning a groan from her best friend.
"Listen to me!"
She yelled.
"Whatever we get, she's gonna try to take."
Kiara confessed.
A little while later the group of friends were gonna meet up with Kie's good friend Sarah, so now they were all balled up in the van, on their way to the lookout tower, where John B was supposed to meet Sarah.
"All right."
John B said and opened the door of the Twinkie, getting out of the vehicle.
"hit it boys! We're going on a recon mission"
JJ said in a weird voice when he was about to get out off the van as well, but got stopped by John B.
"Yo uh, so I think I'm gonna do this one by myself"
John B told them, earning blank stares from his friends.
"Why? You're gonna mack on her in that tower?"
Isla teased, wiggling her eyebrows.
"Shut up."
John B said, sighing at the girl.
"Really?"
JJ asked annoyed.
"What?"
John B asked.
"Nothing brother."
JJ shrugged.
"Look, I don't wanna spook Sarah with the peanut gallery."
John B told them.
"I just don't understand why we're involving her at all."
Kiara said annoyed.
"Kie we're not involving her okay? It's- it's just uh, like a business meeting. Thing."
John B defended himself.
"Really? I can't remember the last time I had a sexual relationship with a business partner."
Isla commented, earning a snort from JJ.
"We don't have a sexual relationship!"
John B groaned.
"Yeah right."
Isla scoffed in disbelief.
"What? So you don't believe me when I say this but you do expect me to belive you when you say there's nothing going on between you and JJ?"
John B asked, he was now growing annoyed by his friend and her remarks.
"Me? And JJ? I have no Idea what you're talking about here brother."
Isla said sarcastically while JJ chuckled next to her, and Isla rested her head on his shoulder with an evil smirk on her face.
John B rolled his eyes at them and started talking again.
"Look, once we get what we need, we cut her loose, alright? Plus, we need a map."
He said looking at Kiara.
"Promise me nothing is happening between you two."
Kie sighed, looking into his eyes.
"Jeaaaalous."
JJ whispered in Isla's ear again, making her laugh.
"Nothing is happening guys"
John B tried to convince them, but JJ and Isla knew better than that.
"I'm being serious."
Kiara said sternly.
"Okay!"
John B said.
"This isn't about you and this isn't about us, this is about her. Dude, she's gonna get inside your head. Just promise me nothing's happenning between you guys."
Kiara said.
" I promise."
John B replied.
"That was really believable."
JJ said sarcastically.
"Oh yeah, a 100% believable."
Isla added, the two started to get on everyone's nerves, but they couldn't care less.
"Anyways, uhm.. I'm gonna take care of business."
John B said, walking off towards the tower.
"You're gonna take care of it."
JJ smirked.
"Yeah we'll just wait."
Isla said fake smiling.
"In the hot ass car"
Pope added and John B left.
As soon as John B was gone Isla turned her face to Kiara.
"You know I care about you right?"
She asked her.
"Yes, why?"
Kiara asked, clearly not in the mood.
"Yeah there's totally something going on between them."
Isla said, not wanting to hold anything from her best friend.
"I figured."
Kie sighed.
"So, what's worse Kie? Pogue on pogue macking, or Pogue on Kook macking?"
JJ asked, genuinely curious.
"Excellent question."
Isla agreed, knowing what he was hinting to.
"Guys I don't care if you two start macking."
Kiara said with a shrug, she knew the two of them were into each other, it wasn't hard to tell.
"Whaaat? We weren't talking about us? I mean us? Noo waay."
JJ scoffed, resting his arm over Isla's shoulder who scoffed sarcastically.
Kiara just rolled her eyes at the two of them, even though she was secretly rooting for the two of them.
"Kiara, holding onto your gudge is like drinking poison and thinking Sarah will die."
Pope commented at the girl.
"Exactly."
Isla agreed with her friend.
"You gotta get over it girl, you warned him, you did everything you could, now if she's actually using him, it's all on him."
Isla told her truthfully.
"Yeah, you didn't do anything wrong!"
JJ joined in.
"I bet they're kissing."
Pope sighed after another 10 minutes of waiting on John B and his new girlfriend.
"Whatever, wake me up when she's pregnant."
Isla sighed and rested her head on JJ's chest while closing her eyes. JJ ran his fingers trough her hair, making her even more tired than before.
"Did you guys hear that?"
Kie asked, waking Isla up from her nap.
"What's up?"
She asked tiredly.
"Please somebody help!"
They heard Sarah yell. All shot up and ran out of the van at the same time, worried for their friend.
"Sarah what happend?"
Pope asked as they ran towards Sarah who was holding an unconscious John B in her arms.
"I don't know what to do- he needs help. Topper shoved him."
Sarah said panicking.
"Where the hell is he?!"
JJ asked, looking around to find Topper.
"Please please please get help, I don't care who, just call someone."
Sarah cried.
"Go Go!"
JJ said as Pope ran back to the van.
"Help please."
Sarah cried. Isla got down on her knees and rested her ear against John B's chest.
"He's still breathing."
She sighed in relief, checking his pulse next, which also appeared to be stable.
"Pope hurry!"
Kiara yelled.
"John B, stay with me."
Sarah said kissing him.
"Please don't leave me."
"Hey Sarah, he'll be fine alright, Pope's calling, we'll be fine."
Isla said and looked at the girl. She nodded eith tears filled in her eyes, Isla could tell she really cared about John B, which honestly surprised her.
"Pope come on!"
JJ yelled.
Isla stood back up and held unto his arm, all of them were scared of what will happen to their unconscious friend.
