Kie- sorry you're staying where?
John b- tannyhill.
Kie- so you're living with Sarah Cameron?
John b- okay look the only reason I'm living there is because her dad bailed me out right? And it's way better than foster care which by the way is where I was about to go if ward didn't-
Pope- hey so do you have a membership to the clubs now?
John b- I don't know pope.
JJ- what about those golf carts they drive around? You get one of them? Do you have one of those?
He turned to me
Me- yeah?
Pope- does it come with a sweater vest or do you have to buy one on your own?
Kie- look you promised. You said you weren't with her.
JJ- bro just own it she got you. You don't see me trying to hide it with Tess.
He shrugged and put his arm around me
Kie- look if you want to hang out with her that's fine. But I'm letting you know now that I'm not doing anything with Sarah.
John b- do you guys see her here? No. Right. Okay. A little focus would be fantastic. We've got the map right?
JJ- it's out of whack cause the guy was ganja'd when he drew it.
Me- it's cause the coast has changed.
Pope- so we just have to look for landmarks that haven't changed.
John b- what about the old forts?
Kie- battery jasper.
——
Me- were at battery right here.
Pope- so if this is parcel nine, then it's somewhere northeast of here.
Kie- somewhere over there
Pope- right.
JJ- over there? Guys that's not tannyhill that's a subdivision.
John b- Tanny hill plantation was the entire island.
Me- it got sold into smaller pieces over time.
Pope- so we're just looking for an old stone wall.
———
Kie- you guys know whose house this is right?
JJ- oh yeah no I do.
John b- honestly I don't really believe the stories of this place.
JJ- shh.. which stories did you hear?
Kie- the one where she killed her husband with an axe and that she's been holed up ever since.
Me- on certain nights when the moon is full.. you can see her in the window
I made fake ghost hands infront of his face
JJ- no it's not funny cause it's all true.
Me- wahh!
JJ-I swear to god guys this is all real I knew Hollis. Jeez!
Pope- wait you knew Hollis Crain?
JJ- yeah dude.
Pope- dude how do you know Hollis Crain?
JJ- she was my babysitter man she told me all about It. Told me the truth... about her mother and what happened in this house.
Me and kie shared a look as we was thought we seen something in the window
JJ- and as she's using it she looks down, and there in the outhouse is her fathers head looking straight back at her.

Pope- I'll search the northeast quadrant you search the northwest quadrant.
JJ- the decapitation quadrant.
Me- shut up and come on
I grabbed his hand and pulled him in the direction
JJ- did you hear that?
Me- shut up.
JJ- no I definitely just heard something
Me- it was probably a bird calm down.
JJ- we're gonna get killed
Me- stop overthinking it babe.

Me- see any water?
Kie- another dead end?
JJ- there's not even water on the pipes.
Pope- there's no water here.
JJ- not a dropamino
Kie- know why we didn't find it? Bad karma.
John b- oh god here we go. This is exactly why I didn't wanna tell you about Sarah.
Kie- yeah?
John b- yeah. What the hells the deal with you two?
Kie- nothing.
John b- nothing? Is it because I kissed you? Is that the problem?
Kie slapped him
Pope- oh!
JJ- oh shit!
Me- that echoed dude!
Kie- stop treating me like I'm some girl that's obsessed with you. Instead of your bestfriend who's actually trying to look out for you.

Pope- why is there so many mosquitoes in a basement?
JJ- dude I know seriously. Tiny vampire bats just leave me alone. Oh my gosh okay can we leave? Cause I'm already itchin to leave.
I pointed my flashlight to the ground and looked up at pope smiling as he did the same he walked out on the boards stomping I dropped a rock in the hole and we listened for it falling and splashing into the water
Pope- hey guys
JJ- hey pope!
Kie- shh
Me- hey help us move this
Kie- shh um
Pope- help us
John b- okay just be quiet.

Me- well well well
