"Hello, 9-1-1? Hi, we need an ambulance, my friend got pushed off a tower looking thing and isn't moving, he's still breathing and okay, I mean not okay- he's not doing okay- he's really hurt. We just need an ambulance, please." Kelsey cried.
"Alright, calm down, where's your location."
"Fuck." The girl cursed, she wasn't really aware of her surroundings. "Uhm I don't know, tall tower?" she said, trying to calm down herself.
"Kelsey, hurry up!" JJ yelled.
She could hear everyone else panicking and yelling, which only made her panic more. Last time Kelsey had to call 9-1-1 was when she found both of her parents lying on the kitchen floor with gunshots in their heads.
"Mount Pleasent." She heard someone say from beside her. Kelsey looks up to see Pope, hanging up the phone.
Pope stuck his arms out and wrapped the blonde into a comforting hug to calm her nerves.
"It's okay Kelsey, he's going to be okay." He whispered to her.
Kelsey hugged Pope back, crying into his chest as he rocked them back and forth.
Pope and John B are the only ones that Kelsey told about her parents death. She told snip-its of the story to JJ and Kiara, but Pope knows more than any of them, how situations like these, make her panic and stress.

"So you're living with Sarah Cameron."' Kiara said, disgusted at her best friend.
"Okay, look, the only reason I'm living there is because her dad bailed me out, right?" John B objected. "And it's way better than foster care, which, by the way, is where I was about to go if Ward didn't-"
"Hey, so do you have memberships to clubs now?" Pope teased.
"I don't know, Pope." John B said. "What about those golf carts they drive around? You get one of them?" JJ joined. "Does it come with a sweater-vest, or do you have to buy your own?"
"Look," Kiara sighed. "You promised. You said you weren't with her." "Bro, just own it. She got you." JJ shrugged. "If you want to hangout with her, that's fine. But i'm letting you know now that i'm not doing anything with Sarah." Kiara finished.
"Do you guys see her here?" John B questioned. "No, right. Okay. A little focus would be fantastic."
"That's bullshit, John." Kelsey said, walking out in her new waitress uniform.
"That's hot." JJ blurted, Pope hit him in his chest. "Be respectful."
"Look, I'm just saying that we all know you're with Sarah, own up to it and move on. You're gonna get her dragged into this one way or another and that's that. We all have deal with it." Kelsey glared at Kiara. "Or else we're never going to find the gold. Who cares about a stupid thing Sarah did a year ago, when you can be rich, and live a life without her."
"She makes a good point." Pope agreed. "This whole grudge thing sucks."
"We have the map, right?" John B said, ignoring Kelsey.
"It's all out of whack 'cause the guy was ganja'd when he drew it." JJ stated.
"It's cause the coast has changed." Kiara pointed out.
"So we just have to look for landmarks that haven't changed." Pope said.
"What about the old forts?" John B questioned.
"Old Farts?" Kelsey asked, zoning back in to what the pogues were saying.
"No, Old Forts. Battery Jasper." Kiara explained.
