"YOU MIND IF I JUST RELAX ON THIS ONE?" JJ asked as he lit another blunt in the back of the van, "It's been a long day and a lot of weird stuff's gone down. I'm just gonna lay low?"
"Oh I'm sorry, did you wanna hit of this?" JJ tilted his head toward Santana who'd taken the blunt out of his hand, taking a pass
"Pope?" Santana turned to Pope, offering it to him too
"I'd keep the signal clear," Pope nervously nodded as Santana and JJ proceeded to get high
"Dude, okay - do you understand that your problem is that you don't get creative?" JJ argued with Pope, "If you got creative-"
"Look, I know I've been right about pretty much all of this but thanks to some guidance-" John B interrupted the rambling as he nodded at Santana, "I was right about one thing - my dad is trying to tell me something."
"That was a really nice speech," JJ nodded as he sarcastically placed his hand on heart.

"THIS PLACE IS SCARY," Kie groaned as the pogues began weaving through the cemetery.
"John B what are we even doing here?" Kie continued but was shushed by John B, "Okay then, Santana what are we doing here?"
"This whole time John B's been tryna remember where he's heard Redfield and where it is right?" Santana began answering, "Well when I went home to a very angry Selah, i somehow convinced her into telling me what she knew about it.. turns out Redfield isn't a place, it's a person... Olivia Redfield is-"
"My great grandmother," John B finished her sentence as they reached her grave, "Redfield was her maiden name."
"How did Selah know?" Pope asked, "It would've been because of your mom right?"
"Yep," Santana nodded as John B started to look around the site, "She knows about the compass too."
"What is with this godamn death compass?" JJ rolled his eyes
"You didn't tell her we have it right?" Kie glanced at Santana, while trying to make sure John B wasn't going to hurt himself
"I didn't have to, she knows we've got it," Santana shrugged, "Of course I denied it but, she knows."
"Deny, deny, deny."
"Here it is," John B mumbled as they finally came across Olivia's specific tomb
"Voi-effing-la," JJ happily nodded at the sight, realising John B and Santana hadn't dragged them there for no reason
"Someone help me with the door," John B asked as he tried to pry it open, joined by Pope
"This door's like 700 pounds man, it ain't gonna budge!" Pope grunted as they continued trying to push it open
"We didn't come this far to get this far, all right?" JJ added as he too started pushing on the door
"Ooooh! A snake!" Santana squealed as the boys jumped back, which made her laugh
"Y'all that's a freaking moccasin!" JJ squealed too as he taunted it, "Ye olde Dr Cottonmouth-"
"Death in tall grass!" Santana added as the two watched it slither away
"JJ shut the fuck up!" Kie panicked as JJ begun making dog noises, attempting to scare it away
"You had me till the woof-ing," Santana laughed, "You tryna wake the dead or something?"
"they're afraid of dogs! everyone knows that!"
"Yeah okay, only you know that JJ," Pope rolled his eyes as he glanced over at Santana, "Just pretend like you didn't know that please?"
"Didn't know it," Santana threw her arms up
"Look, if there's one that means there's probably dozens," JJ spoke up, "All around here."
"Can you stop? You're scaring me bro," Kie furrowed her brows as she punched JJ's shoulder
"Stop barking at the snakes JJ!" John B scoffed
Everyone's attention then turned to Santana who was about to pass out from laughing so hard.
"What's so funny?" Kie facepalmed herself
"He really is Scooby Doo," She shrugged as JJ glared at her
"har har, you're so funny Diaz," JJ pouted as he crossed his arms as Santana wrapped her arms around him.
"Focus people!" Pope snapped his fingers, "We're not gonna get in there alright? It's not budging. At this point, we should probably just go."
"I can get through," Kie reassured herself as she moved her flashlight onto the tomb
"No, no no - you think you're gonna fit through this hole?" John B shook his head, "That hole?"
"Of course she can," Santana furrowed her brows at John B, "It's just enough for her to get though."
"Okay, well why don't you do it?" John B glared at Santana
"Sure," She poked her tongue out at him as she pulled herself away from JJ, walking to the tomb
"Stop," Kie pulled Santana back, "This is about your parents right? And I don't really believe it in but you guys deserve to know the truth. Plus we almost killed you on your first day here."
"She has a point," JJ pointed at her
"I'm doing it," Kie cracked a slight smile as she pushed herself through the small hole with help from the boys and Santana, "Remind me what i'm looking for?"
"You'll know it when you see it," John B nodded
"Okay, on three," JJ steadied himself, "one, tw- um okay forget about three then."
"I got it! I'm in!" Kie mumbled as she pulled herself through
"You alive?" John B pouted, "You got a heartbeat and everything?"
"So far."
"Are you alive?" Santana and JJ started to mock John B, "Oh My God, do you have a heartbeat?"
"I'm checking if she's okay!" John B hissed at the two, "You two are-"
"Watching you swoon over Kie," Santana smiled, "It's adorable."
"I am not swooning!"
"Can I have a little light people!" Kie yelled as Pope quickly reflected his flashlight into the tomb
"You find anything?" JJ called out, "Is there gold!"
"Oh, my god."
Kie turned to the hole, sliding through a small package.
"That's not gold," Pope slowly spoke as he squinted his eyes at it, passing it to John B
"Holy shit," John B blankly said, "This is from my dad."
"Wait!" Kie yelled out, "There's something else here too."
Whilst this was happening, JJ happened to be lighting another blunt.
"What is it?" Pope asked as Kie handed him another item, though even smaller.
"Santana?" Pope garnered her attention, "Do you still have that polaroid?"
"Yeah, I keep it with me," Santana replied, pulling it out of her pocket.
"I think this was taken after it," Pope said as he passed the photo to Santana.
"Who the fuck is that?" She blinked, "There's dirt all over the photo."
This second polaroid was in a similar position despite there being another person in it.
"We've gotta wait till we get back to the chateau or something," Pope sighed, "We'll try clean off the, and we'll be able to see clearer with some proper light."
"Um guys! Code Red! Code Red! Square groupers!" JJ's eyes went wide as he started to panic, "It's the guys who robbed your house."
"Get down!" Santana whispered as the 5 dropped to the ground beside the tomb
"Lights!" Kie whispered too, "Turn them off! John B! Get your light off!"
"I see something!" The man called out from his car as it came to a stop.
"How come theyre on our asses?" Santana whispered to John B, "Everyehere we go, they turn up."
"To be fair, y'all went to Grubb's after them," Pope shrugged
"Pope!" They scoffed in unison, "Not the time."
"Ugh, screw this," Kie shook her head as she jumped up, running.
And naturally, the pogues followed after her.
Eventually they made it to the fence, and they of course all tried to jump it.
"Guys i'm stuck!" Pope cried out, "Guys come on!"
"Pope, just don't move okay!"
"Y'all are gonna rip me!"
The boys were able to pull him down with "minimal" damage and they kept running back to the car.
"It's a little tootsie roll."
"Get in the car!" The 5 yelled to eachother, slamming the door shut as they sped off.
"What happened to your pants?" Santana teased Pope as she'd noticed he'd 'lost' them along the way
"Funny," Pope rolled his eyes
As the pogues sped off, the square groupers met with the fence.
"Well look at what they dropped," One of the men smirked as he picked up the second polaroid, "Gimme some light."
The man pushed the dirt away from the photo and laughed as he saw the third person in it, "Marisol, John and Ward - what a trio."
"The kid forgot his pants too," The other man laughed as they ran, noticing the maintenance worker walking toward them.
