/17/ The runaway

The next afternoon Pope and Kiara were back at the chateau, trying out the little machine they built to get the gold out of the well.
Kiara was sitting in the bucket while she pulled herself up to a tree.

"How's it feeling?"
Pope asked the girl.

"Feels good."
Kiara replied.

JJ and Isla looked at the scene from the newly bought hot tub, their feet dangling inside while her head rested on his shoulder, ever since the night before, Isla couldn't seem to let go of him, the events playing over and over again in both of their minds. The two of them were now closer than ever, if that's even possible.

"John B pullin a houdini."
JJ said as he played with Isla's hair, covering her eyes with a few strands of her dark brown locks.

"Yeah, where is he? I got my scholarship interview tomorrow morning, we gotta get this done."
Pope replied, not having heard from John B either.

"Speaking of the devil."
Isla said as she watched John B storm towards them, an angry expression on his face.

"Hey! Dude, I set up the entire winch to pull up the gold and everything."
JJ lied with a smug smile on his face.

"No he did not, I did that."
Pope said, but John B didn't seem to be interested when he just stormed inside the chateau.

"Okay, that's it?"
JJ asked, confused by his best friend's behavior.

"Well that was weird."
Isla commented, a bit puzzled on what just happend.

"What was that all about?"
Pope asked when he and Kiara walked towards Isla and JJ in the jacuzzi.

"I was gonna ask you the same question."
JJ replied.

"Well, let's see for ourselves then."
Isla said and got up, sliding into her flip flops and walking inside of the house with the others following behind her.

"You alright man? What, what's up?"
Pope asked while John B hurriedly opened all of the drawers in the house.

"What are you looking for?"
Kiara asked, John B still ignored them and looked everywhere for who knows what.

"Bro, what's going on?"
JJ asked, John B than found what he was looking for; the gun.

"What exactly do you need that for?"
Isla asked with wide eyes, John B still ignoring them.

"John B what do you need the gun for man, talk to us!"
JJ said walking towards him but John B pushed him away harshly.

"John B chill!"
Kiara yelled while John B was walking away. Pope tried to stop him but he got pushed away as well.

"What are you JJ now?"
Pope asked while he was shoved against the table.

"Hey! Not funny Pope!"
Isla said and ran after John B.

"What are you doing?!"
Isla asked once she caught up to John B who got onto JJ's dirtbike.

"John B what the hell?!"
Kiara asked running towards him,.

"Ward knows about the gold!"
John B yelled, finally speaking up.
"He killed my dad."

Before any of them could say anything else, he already drove away, leaving them standing there in shock.

"Shit."
JJ muttered.

"Do you really think he'll kill ward?"
Isla asked afraid of what might happen.

"I- I don't know."
Pope sighed.

"Should we follow him?"
Isla asked.

"I guess so, but we don't have the keys to the van."
Kiara noticed.
