Katherine sat in the passenger seat as John B drove, Angelina was in the back with JJ,Kiara and Pope sitting on JJ lap relaxing. " I mean, it's obvious, right? 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, as he kept looking in the rear review mirror then back at the road.

" Yeah. It's possible...It could also be possible that you're concocting wild theories to help, you know, deal with your sad feels." Pope said, shrugging his shoulders as he played with a loose sting on his t-shirt. " Bro, you know how I process my sad feels. Dank nugs and the stickiest of ickies, that's how I do it." JJ spoke up now, as he played with Angelina necklace. " I'm not concocting, okay? My dad's trying to give me a message." John B said annoyed at both Pope and JJ statements, Katherine glanced over at John B before placing her hand ontop of his making the boy smile a bit.

" If it helps you believe, John B. " Katherine said, John B glanced her and mouthed a small 'Thank you' before looking back in the rear review mirror at his two best friends. " Look, I-I don't need a therapy session, okay? Look, I'm not trippin' out." John B spoke up again, the van went silent for a moment until JJ spoke up once again.

" It's okay to trip, bro, but" JJ was cut off my John B slamming his hand on the wheel making everyone jump. " Look, my... my dad is missing, okay? Missing." John B said, the van went silent once again.

" You don't know what it's like to have the person closest to you vanish and then have no idea what happened. Just wake up every morning wondering." John B spoke, breaking the silence. " It's been almost a year." Kiara finally spoke up.

" Hey, he could have been kidnapped. That's definitely a possibility." JJ said, Angelina nodded her head softly before speaking up as well. " Yeah, could be in a Soviet sub getting interrogated by the KGB somewhere." She said making JJ tap her bottom softly, Angelina gave him a look causing him to smirk at the brunette. " Absolutely. Uh... or Atlantis." Kiara said, Katherine shook her head softly at the group in the back before John B pulled over and parked the van.

As everyone got up John B grabbed Katherine hand and turned around to face JJ, Kiara and Pope leaned against the van noticing John B and Katherine hand in hand. " JJ. Look, what do you think the message is?" John B asked, JJ looked at him and quickly answered. " Redfield, Redfield Lighthouse. That's my dad's favorite place." JJ said as he placed his arm around Angelina. " Right. You're gonna post up and look out for bogeys, okay?" John B said with a smile, before patting JJ chest.

" Wait... Why me?" JJ said confused as Angelina chuckled. " Because your not coming." Katherine said laughing, but JJ wasn't laughing. " There are independent and dependent variables. You're independent. We don't know what you'll do." John B said, shrugging his shoulders as he fixed his hat.
