Rafe left and I was still in the kitchen, crying, before I got a call from Kie

"Haley" she says with a serious tone "what's up?" I asks trying to hide my breaking voice "are you good?" She asks "yeah yeah" I says as I wipes my tears

"Me and Pope are going to pick you up in 10 minutes" she announces "what's going on?" I asks "we're planning on going to the chateau, get some stuff to get the gold" she explains

"Oh okay" I says "I'll see you soon, we're on our way" she says before we both says our goodbye and hang up

I quickly walks to the bathroom and disinfect my cut on my neck and clean myself up a little bit. After a few minutes Kie texted me they were here.

"What's with your neck?" Pope asks as I got into the car "it's nothing, I just tried to bake something" I says with a nervous laugh as Pope starts to drive to the chateau

"I remember when you cooked us all pancakes the other day when we slept over at yours, it was a great" Kie speaks "we should do that again sometime" I says "absolutely" Pope adds

"So we gotta be done here before my scholarship interview in the morning" Pope says as we arrives at the chateau

"Okay, well, we gotta focus" Kie says "I know, it's gonna be fine. We got John B and JJ inside the well, and me and Haley up top" Pope says

"You and Sarah will be outside transporting" he adds "I still don't understand why I can't go with Sarah and Kie, my leg is fine" I complains

"JJ won't forgive me if I'll let you go near that Crain lady again" he explains

"Jay can't decide where I can go" I says "he's not trying to, he's just worried about you" Kie replies

"Okay, uh I got a winch" Pope starts "yeah" Kie confirms "that tin can hold over like... 200,300 pounds" He adds "thanks" Kie says

"Uh what's for?" Pope asks "stranding us. You know, making us make up" Kie answers "what makes you think that was me?" Pope says before a light turns on

"What's that?" I asks "what the hell" Pope says "who the hell is that?" Kie asks before we walks to the chateau garden

"What did you do, JJ?" Pope asks as we sees Jay sitting inside an expensive ass hot huh

"I got a jet going straight in my butt right now" he replies with a smirk as I share a concerned look with Kie

"Y'all should get in immediately, you hear me?" He adds "how much did it cost?" Pope asks "uh... we'll, with the generator, the petrol, and oh, hey, express delivery... pretty much all of it, yeah" he chuckles

"All of it?" Pope asks with widen eyes "yeah, all of it" Jay answers "you spent all the money in one day?" Pope asks

"Yeah burned a hole right through my pocket, but I mean like come on, guys, like look at this! Finest in jet based massage therapy, that's what they told me" Jay says and I stare at him, speechless

I wasn't mad, I just couldn't understand him and why he did that.

"Haley, what? can't a man have a little luxury in life? Come on, all this scrimping and scraping... I mean like... guys, we- you know live once, right?"
