The pogues were racing to angel oak as fast as the could. If Limbrey got there first, they would never get over it. This was Pope's heritage- and it was important to him so it was important to them. 
"Guys, we're coming up on Freedman's church." Pope said from the shotgun seat. "It's the church Denmark built for all the slaves he freed."
Y/N smiled, lounging in the back with JJ "Pope you're like, our personal tour guide."
They passed over a natural-bridge, a bar, connecting the islands together on the way, Y/N and Kie stared out the window and looked at the view. The ground over it and around the island they were reaching was wet, must get covered up by the tide. 
"Does anyone else really wanna go surfing?" Kie asked.
Y/N and JJ looked at each other, remembering the trip they planned. "Always." They said.
"There it is." Kie said, pointing up at the tips of a tall, tall tree poking up out of the a forest. "Angel oak." It was indeed massive.
"Oh shit." John B said.
Y/N stood up and poked her head through the front seats. "What's up JB?" She was worried he saw Limbrey.
"Tide's coming in." He said.
The path ahead of them was muddy and covered in puddles. The surrounding tree roots had been hidden by a thin layer of muddy water, soon to rise up and completely cover the shrubbery.
"Um..." JJ sighed, leaning over the seats with Y/N, a hand on her waist.
"Hey wait a second." Pope spoke up. "Look." He pointed at some tyre tracks in the uncovered mud. "They already came through here. Those have to be Limbrey's tire tracks come on guys we gotta go."
"mmmm what you thinking chief?" JJ asked John B.
"JB it's looking pretty dicey." Y/N commented.
JJ nodded "Yeah I'm gunna have to agree with that statement."
John B sighed out a "Yeah.."
"Okay." Kie though for a moment, "Well clearly they made it. No?"
"In a two wheel drive? I don't know about that." JJ said back to her.
Sarah was grinning, "Why are y'all acting like you're not gunna do it anyways. Like when have y'all ever done the safest thing?"
The pogues all shrugged and nodded, murmuring in agreement.
"All right she's got a point." JJ said, looking back at the path.
Y/N nodded beside him, "Speed is your friend here, okay? Start out in second and just like, hammer down."
John B adjusted the gear.
Pope looked anxious beside him.
Kie grabbed a hold of something to make herself feel safer, Sarah did the same.
"Stick to the high ground in the middle John B." Pope said.
"All right ready? Here we go." John B started moving.
"All right go for it JB." Y/N clutched the seat tighter.
The wheels started spitting up mud as they gripped onto any ground they could, propelling them forwards. 
"Come on bro punch it!" JJ tried to hurry him. "Speed is your friend."
Y/N agreed, "Speed is your friend, you've gotta go faster JB."
"I'm in second." John B told them.
Kie called out, "It's gunna slide." From the back.
"You're fishtailing already." JJ told John B.
He laughed back an "I know." As he fiddled with the wheel. More water spraying out from the wheels.
"Not to- put any more pressure on you. But if you don't make it through here we'll be stuck forever." Pope grabbed onto the door's handle.
"Forveerrrrr." JJ emphasised.
John B pushed his face away from the seats, "Just- sit back down."
Y/N reached behind her and held Kie's hand, "You've got this JB, just step on it."
The Twinkie spat up the last of the water and mud, and managed to grab some footing of solid ground. She pulled herself from the mud and back onto dirt lane road.
Kie breathed a sigh of relief, and Y/N shook her hand happily sitting down with her and JJ.
"I told you we'd make it." JJ said casually.
John B patted the dash, "That's my girl."
