Pope is related to Denmark Tanny.
It brought an entire shock episode through the Pogues as they absorb this new information. It only meant the gold is under his name—and rightfully so. Emelina did not complain, happy as ever since he deserved every last drop.
She leaned against the railing of the Heyward residence, forcing the strap of her tank top back on her shoulder that seemed to fall every minute. Her smile never faded as everyone cheered about the news.
"I still can't believe that you're related to Denmark Tanny," John B said in disbelief, his shoes thudding against the wet wood floorboards, and quickly turns to Pope by his side with a quick gasp, "Are we in presence of a royal?"
"A king?" JJ asked, using his hands, one occupied by his trusty flask, and pretended to crown Pope. JJ switched to a terrible attempt at a British accent and said, "We shall crown him. All hail the lord of Tannyhill!"
Pope was shushing them when they started to bow and praise him beneath his feet. "We're not worthy!"
"Everybody relax," he told them, "Can we relax, please?"
Sarah took a sip from her can and looked at everyone for agreement at her next words, "Relocate to Cat's Ass, question mark?"
JJ was quick to nod, "I'm with that."
Pope sighed. "I just keep thinking about the letter, the one that Limbrey sent. It had the wheat symbol on it. Like, that must mean it has something to do with the Royal Merchant."
"Yeah. Something seems fishy." JJ said. Pope was more optimistic in his following words, "But if we find that cross, we can split it like we were gonna split the gold."
"Yeah. I'm with that. I got the world to see," JJ smirked and slung his arm around Emelina's shoulder, rubbing his knuckles into her hair.
"And live happily ever after?"
Limbrey appeared out of nowhere, her body leaning on forearm crutches to aid her walking abilities. The man next to her, who Emelina recognized to be the man that answered the door, held an umbrella to stop the sprinkling rain from touching them.
Anger rose from Pope the second his eyes landed on the two. "You assaulted my father," He stepped forward but the man pushed him back. Limbrey shook her head, "Oh, I didn't assault anybody."
Kiara, sitting on the stacked coolers, spoke, "He can identify the psycho from a mile away."
"Why would my employee a... a... assault your father?" She turned to the man and laughed, "That's absurd. Listen, we can keep on negotiating, but the fact is that I want the key."
Emelina looked up at JJ, watching him wink at John B as he slowly backed away from them. She suppressed a smile and thought about his grand plan that surprisingly was very smart.
