It was the next day and all of us but Sarah and John B were at John B's house working on equipment.

Kie was in a barrel that was hanging in a tree.

"How's it feeling?" Pope ask her.

"Fells good." She says and Pope helps her down.

I was cleaning up the stuff from the hot tub while JJ sat with his feet in it.

"John B pullin a Houdini." JJ says sitting his beer bottle down.

"Yeah, where is he? I got my scholarship interview tomorrow. We got to get this done!" Pope says.

Just as he says the John B appears around the corner.

"Speak of the devil. Hey!" JJ calls after him.

John B just keeps walking.

"Dude, I set up the entire winch to pull up the gold and everything." JJ says.

"No, he did not. I did that?" Pope corrects.

John B ignores them.

"Hey." Kie says.

We huddle together as John B walks into the house leaving us.

"What's that all about?" I randomly ask.

"I was gonna ask you the same question." JJ says getting out of the hot tub.

We follow John B into his house.

He was roaming through a bunch of things.

"Hey, man you alright?" Pope ask John B.

"What are you looking for?" Kie also ask him.

John B looks under the couch cushion and takes out JJ's gun.

"John B, what do you need that for?" JJ walks over to him but John B pushes him down.

"John B, chill!" Kie and I literally say at the same time.

The rest of us try to talk to him but he keeps pushing us out the way.

John B pushes past Pope and out the door and we follow behind him.

John B gets on JJ's bike and starts it.

"John B, what the hell!" Kie calls.

"Ward knows about the gold. He killed my dad." He says and we freeze.

John B takes off on the bike and we watch him in shock.

"Shit!" JJ calls.

"What do we do?" Kie ask in a panic.

"We can't do anything! Shit!" JJ kicks the ground.

"Well it's getting dark so we need to figure something out now." I tell them.

Pope speaks up. "Let's take the HMS to Sarah's house and wait out there. My guess is he might  be there." Pope suggests.

I clap my head. "That's good. I like where you're heads at, P." I point at him.

"You're so extra." Kie shakes her head sarcastically.

"Extra is good." I smile at her.
