"All right, so word to the wise, definitely know that gators nest back here, so keep your eyes peeled, okay?" JJ said as they all followed him towards the tree, ducking under branches and leaves.

"They have nests?" Kiara furrowed her brows at the blonde. Brenna shrugged looking back her with a look of 'who knows'.

"You don't wanna be a Pat Womack. She had her calf chewed off by a gator, right?" JJ started to tell another one of his stories.

"You know that, right?" He turned to look at Brenna, who was right behind him.

"JJ, shut up and walk," Brenna pushed him forward.

"Yeah, J, that's not true Pat Womack was injured in a car accident, but I hear you," Kiara shot down the blonde's story.

"Okay just live in ignorance," JJ shrugged, "But like, she had her calf chewed off by a mama gator. I know that for a fact"

Brenna rolled her eyes.

"They like the brackish water," JJ kept talking, stoping to look over at some water, "Wait, hold on. I see something"

"What are you doing?" Brenna questioned him as he squatted down towards the water, stick in hand then hitting the water.

"Right. Wake them up. That's smart," Sarah said sarcastically as JJ kept hitting the water.

"I was just making sure it wasn't a gator," JJ turned to the three girls standing behind him, all looking at him like he was crazy.

"Just walk," Brenna shook her head.

"Do you hear that?" Brenna asked, ducking under a branch a few minutes later.

"Shh," Pope sushed her.

Everyone stopped talking and ducked behind a bush, everyone's eyes meeting a group of people, a digger and multiple cars.

"I don't see shit," Rafe said walking across the dirt, " You sure this is the right, spot?"

"It's there. The garment will be in the cross," Limbrey said leaning against her car, "And the cross will be at the foot of the tree"

"Well, whatever we find, I get my cut," Rafe said.

Brenna rolled her eyes at him.

"The actual garment. You understand the significance?" Limbrey looked at Renfield who was getting something from the trunk.

"What do we do?" Brenna whispered, looking at Pope who was still listening but shrugged his shoulders.

"Hey wait!" Limbrey shouted as the digger hit something, "Stop! Stop. Please stop. Did you hear it? Hey, get in there, boys. Do it by hand"

Four guys jumped into the hole and started to dig, while Limbrey got up to look in the hole herself.

"It looks like a," she started. 

"Casket," Rafe interrupted her.

Kiara and Brenna looked at each other confused at the word.
