06.

hailee snuck out of the house that afternoon to catch up with her friends, because she got bored of doing nothing in her room.

she bikes up the driveway through the trees, seeing a black unknown truck parked outside of the chateau.

"john routledge!" she heard a man shout, recognising the voice of the men at miss lanas house earlier that morning.

"shit" she mumbled, placing her bike against the tree, hearing them push things over, completely trashing the house.

she saw her friends climb out of the office window one by one, gassing it to hide in the chicken house

"hailee!" she heard JJ whisper yell, running to her and grabbing her hand, running towards the others.

"what the fuck is going on?!" she whispered as they hid in the small, cramped chicken house.

"shh" everyone hushed as she put her hands up in defence.

they watched as the two men walked outside to their truck, with baskets full of stuff, hailee having no clue what it was.

"do something pope! shut it up!" JJ whispered as the rooster kept making a huge noise.

JJ got sick of it, catching it in his hands, gripping it's throat and strangling it, finally shutting it up.

kie let out a sob, john b reaching over to hold her hand to comfort her.

the truck eventually left, everyone letting out a loud breath they all didn't know the held in, crawling out of the chicken house.

"y'all mind telling me what the fuck is going on and why JJ had to kill the rooster?! i loves the rooster!" hailee said

"me too" JJ pouted, feeling guilty that he had to kill it.

"explain. now" she grunted as the 5 got into the van.

"they're the guys who shot at us and the ones at miss lanas" JJ said

"oh. shit" she sighed.

"so where are we going now?" hailee asked

"the redfield lighthouse, a lot happened while you were gone" john b said

"i'm not surprised" hailee groaned

"but like guys, a family heirloom?! what better place to hide a message? he had to know it was gonna get back to me, right?!" John b said

"yeah, it's possible" kie shrugged

"it could also be possible that you concocting wild theories to help, you know, deal with your sad feels?" pope said

"pope!" john b groaned

"my dads trying to give me a message?! i don't need a therapy session okay, i'm not tripping out!" he said

"it's okay to trip bro" JJ shrugged

"my dad is missing! you don't know what it's like to have the person closest to you vanish and have no idea what happened. just wale up every morning wondering" he sighed
