Where is the love?// JJ Maybank

Chapter 13

The next day the Pogues were gathered at the Wreck.

"I'm sorry. You're staying where?" Kiara asked.

"Tannyhill." John B replied.

"So you're living with Sarah Cameron." Emilie said.

"Okay, look, the only reason I'm living there is because her dad bailed me out, right?" John B stated. "And it's way better than foster care, which, by the way, is where I was about to go if Ward didn't."

"Hey, so do you have a membership to the clubs now?" Pope asked.

"I don't know, Pope."

"What about those golf carts they drive around? You get one of them?" JJ asked.

"Does it come with a sweater-vest, or do you have to buy one on your own?"

"Look, you promised." Kiara said.

"You said you weren't with her." Emilie agreed.

"Bro, just own it. She got you." JJ said.

"Look, if you wanna hang out with her, that's fine." Kie said. "But I'm letting you know now that I'm not doing anything with Sarah."

"Ditto" Emilie said.

"Do you guys see her here? No, right. Okay. A little focus would be fantastic. We've got the map, right?" John B asked.

"It's out of whack 'cause the guy was ganja'd when he drew it." JJ said.

"It's 'cause the coast has changed." Emilie told him.

"So we just have to look for landmarks that haven't changed." Pope said, "What about the old forts?"

"Battery Jasper."

They piled in the van and drove to battery jasper.

"We're in Battery, right here."

"So if this is parcel nine, then it's somewhere northeast of here." Pope said.

"Somehwere there." Kie said pointing.

"Right."

"Over there? Guy's, that's not Tannyhill, that's a subdivision." JJ said.

"Tannyhill Plantation was the entire island, it got sold into smaller pieces over time."John B told him.

"So we're just looking for an old stone wall."

They got back in the van and Pope gave John B instructions.

"Okay, so the road should split up here." Pope told John B.

"Okay."

"All right. You're gonna take a left."

"That looks like a stone wall to me." JJ said.

"This is it."

"Not the Crain house." John B said.

"Are you kidding me?"

"Worst-case scenario."

"Yuh, let's play granny in real life." Emilie said.

"Why'd it have to be here... of all places?" Pope says.

"I heard that Mrs. Crain buried her husband's head on the property." JJ told them.

"Whatever." Emilie climbed over the wall, the rest of the groups followed after her.

"Look, you guys know whose house this is, right?" Kie asked.

"Oh, yeah. No, I do." JJ said.

"Honestly, I don't really believe the stories of this place."
