- scars down my back -

Melia pulls a coin out of her bra, earning a weird look from both JJ and Pope.

"Dude, what? My nice shorts don't have any pockets!" She defends, passing the coin over to Pope.

"You don't ever care when it's a joint or a vape pen!" Melia scolds JJ.

"That's cause that's weed." JJ says, shrugging. To be honest, he couldn't really give a fuck what came out of her bra. Except her tits, he gave a fuck about those.

Pope hesitantly drops the coin in through the crack in the wood.

Splash!

////////////////////////////

Melia, JJ and Pope frantically start pulling at the wood, moving things as fast as they could. Kie and John B walked over, planning on telling them to be quiet.

"Hey! Help us move this!" Melia whisper yells.

"Okay, just... stay quiet!"

They all manage to get the palettes up, looking down to what they'd uncovered.

A smirk grew on Melia's face, she backed up, letting out a small laugh. She looked over to her brother, who had a similar look painted upon his own face, he looked right back at her.

"Well, well, well..." Pope jokes.

"That was a good dad joke." John B notes, staring down in shock at their discovery.

Melia crouches down slightly, bending over and looking down into the well. JJ kept a firm hand on her shoulder, she was not falling down there today.

"They built this part of the house right over it.." Kie admires, shaking her head.

"This is where she hid the bodies." JJ suggests, pursing his lips and looking at the others.

"Shut up, Jay." Melia whisper yells, furrowing her eyebrows.

"Stop." Kie scolds.

"No, I'm dead serious!" He defends, raising his free hand.

"Stop it!" Melia says, shooting him a glare.

"It was never an outhouse..."

"She probably doesn't even know it's here." JB shoots him down, pointing his flashlight down the well.

"So... We found water." Pope comments.

"We're gonna need a really big rope.." John says, looking straight down.

"No effing way!" Melia yells, walking back and forth - pacing - on the front porch of the Château.

"So what? She's in on this now?" Kiara asks, glaring at John B.

Melia looks around at the boys for answers, shaking her head. She wasn't even angry, she was just upset. Did everybody forget who she was blood related to? She couldn't be around Sarah, and that was made perfectly clear.
