We pull up to the cemetery just as the sun disappears. We are all following JB with flashlights in our hands. Kie starts to fall behind.
" Hey, come on." JB tells Kiara.
" I'm coming, this place is scary." Kie says.
" John B, what are we doing?" Kiara asks.
" So you know how you try to remember a song but can't remember who sings it?" JB asks.
" Yeah." Kie says.
" So, Redfield, this whole time, I thought it was a place, right?" JB says. " But, it's not a place, it's a person." He says, and we approach a building in the cemetery that says Redfield.
" Voi-effing-la." JJ says.
" See, my great-great grandmother, Olivia Redfield." JB says. " That was her maiden name." JB explains.
We all stay silent for a second.
" Help me with the door, come on." JB says.
All 3 boys are trying, and failing, to open the door.
" This door is like 700 pounds, it's not gonna budge." Pope says, his voice strained from trying to push the door.
" We didn't come this far, to get this far, alright?" JJ says. " We got this."
Then I hear a snake hiss.
" Whoa!" Pope says backing from away from the door.
" A snake!" JB says.
" That's a moccasin." I say, backing up even further from the door.
" Ye old Dr. Cottonmouth." JJ says. " Death in tall grass."
JJ then starts barking at the snake.
" Shut up!" I yell at him.
" JJ, Shut up!" Kie yells.
Pope pushing JJ slightly and JJ shuts up.
" You're gonna wake the dead, man." Pope tells him.
" They're afraid of dogs, everyone knows that." JJ explains. JB starts looking around again.
" Wait, wait." JJ says, grabbing JB's shoulder.
" If there's one, there's probably dozens." JJ says.
" Why would you say that?" I ask, fear creeping into my voice. I look around at the ground for snakes.
" What? Is the princess scared?" JJ asks, mocking me.
" No." I lie, still looking at the ground.
JJ starts to bark again.
" Stop barking at the snakes!" JB says to JJ, raising his voice a little.
" Just making sure it's clear." JJ defends.
" John, look. We're not gonna get in there, alright? It's not budging." Pope tells JB.
" We should probably just go." Pope says to JB.
" I can get through." Kie says.
" What?" JB asks.
" You think you're gonna fit through the hole?" John B asks Kiara.
" Look, this is about your dad. And honestly, I really don't believe in it, but you deserve to know the truth." Kie explains to JB.
" I'll do it." Kie says.
The boys get the vines away from the whole so she can get through.
" I'm gonna boost you. I've seen it in the movies, several times." JJ explains, getting ready to boost her.
" Remind me what we're looking for?" Kie says.
" You'll know when you see it." John B says.
" Hold my flashlight." Kie says to me, handing me her flashlight.
JJ helps Kie into the hole and she gets in.
" Flashlight?" Kiara asks.
" Here." I say, handing her the flashlight through the hole.
She goes quiet for a few seconds.
" You alive? You got, like, a heartbeat and everything?" John B asks.
" So far." Kie answers.
I am standing in front of JJ, looking at the ground for snakes, when something touches my leg and I jump.
" AHH!" I scream, turning around.
" Gotcha!" JJ says, laughing his ass off.
" Asshole!" I say before turning back around. I hear John B and Pope chuckling and I give them a fake glare, but that only adds fuel to the fire.
" I need some more light." Kie says and everyone shuts up.
" I gotcha." JB says, holding his lantern in the hole for her.
" Did you find something?" JJ asks.
" Is there gold?" I ask.
" Oh, My, God." Kie says.
