"Hey, guys. So, like, my dad's already gonna kill me. So what's this mandatory meeting about?" Pope asked, as we all sat around a burning pit of fire.
We all looked at John B, then, JJ said, "Might as well tell him, man, before we're gaffed." John B looked at all of us and asked, "You ready for this?" Causing all of us to nod our heads.
"So, the gold never went down with the Royal Merchant." John B informed us. "Oh, my God. Here we go again with this." Pope said with an annoyed eye roll.
Honestly, I see where he's coming from. We never did find the gold at the cemetery or in the middle of the fricken marsh.
"All right, wait. Hear him out, all right?" JJ pleaded all of us. "It's been here the whole time. It's on the island." John B continued.
"Are you serious?" Kie voiced our question. "Oh, my God." I stated in a stunned manner. "I'd like to voice my skepticism." Pope objected.
"I'm sure you would, Pope, but can I please present you with my evidence, sir?" John B asked, before standing up from the log he was sitting on and walked over to his backpack.
"Proceed." Pope allowed him. "All right. So, in my backpack, I have a letter from Denmark Tanny." John B informed us. "Who the hell's that?" Kie asked in a confused tone.
"Denmark Tanny was a slave that survived the Royal Merchant wreck...Check this out." John B said, before handing Kie the map.
I scooted closer to Kie to get a better look at the map in her hand and so did JJ, but not to look at the map. He just wanted to be closer to me.
"Harvest the wheat in parcel nine, near the water. Except... there's no wheat. You see, wheat is code for gold. Check this out. The gold is in parcel nine, near the water." John B went on to explain as Kie passed the map over to Pope.
"All we need is an original survey map of the property, and we've found the gold!" John b exclaimed out in excitement. "Okay, so this might have a small chance of being actually true." Pope stated, defeated.
"Dude, it's like King Tut. I am a genius." John B compliments himself. JJ let go of my hand and stood up from his seat, before walking up to John B and pulling him into a tight embrace.
"Hello! Fire! You're near the fire. You're gonna burn." John B exclaimed in a worried tone. "I'm so proud of you right now." JJ says, holding the brunette boys face in his hands.
