BABY GIRL

The group got out of the van after they followed the map they had and walked towards what must have been parcel 9.

Everyone recognised where they were at; Ms Crain's house and Callie stared at the others.

"Worst case scenario," JJ stated, to what Callie nodded.

"I'm staying in the van"

"No hell no you're coming with us," JJ took her hand into his and Pope opened the property's door. They silently walked in the garden, following Callie's steps.

She turned around and got closer from the others. "Guys what if the stories are true? we should just give up"

"Give up on 400 mil? good idea," John B ironically said.

"Honestly I don't really believe in the stories of this place," Kiara stated.

"Which stories did you hear?" JJ asked, walking towards Kiara and Callie quickly.

"The one where she killed her husband with an axe, and she's been holed up ever since," Kiara started to explain, winking at Callie so that she could keep going.

"Apparently, on certain nights when the night is full, you can see her in the window," Callie concluded, getting closer from JJ to scare him.

"Girls it's not funny cause it's all true"

JJ told them the story of the little girl finding her fathers body after he was dead in the outhouse, and her mom washing her hands with blood, but honestly no one really believed him.

They decided to split up and searched for any type of water, as it was written on the letter Danemark had left. Callie searched in a corner of the garden, trying to be as quiet as she could, because she kept in her mind that Ms Crain could hear her any moment.

After a few minutes they all gathered because they didn't find anything and decided to go check under the house, the only place they hadn't examined yet.

"Down came Ms Crain and cut off all our heads, up came the sun and dried up all the blood," sang JJ, sarcastically and it caused Callie to laugh nervously; only her though.

"JJ stop-"

Callie looked all around her and discovered there was no water either. "Do you guys see any water?"

"Know why we didn't find it?" Kiara asked, getting closer from John B. "Bad karma"

"Oh god here we go"

"We had a good thing going on then you decided to rope in Barbie and now the trail's gone dry. Coincidence? probably not," Kiara argued.

"Hey Kie please," Callie tried to temper the situation walking towards Pope and JJ and standing next to them.

"This is exactly why I didn't want to tell you about Sarah," John B rudely spoke.

"Oh yeah?"

"yeah! what the hell is it with you two?"

"Nothing!" she argued back, getting closer. Callie frowned eyebrows and was about to say something to calm both of them down but JJ asked her not to by just sharing an eye contact with her.

"Nothing? is it because I kissed you is that the problem?" John B asked and Kie slapped his cheek very hard, causing everyone's eyes to go wide.

"Oh shit" Pope left out.

The hurt boy stayed silent, taken aback by Kie's nerve. "Stop treating me like I'm some girl that's obsessed with you instead of your best friend who's actually trying to look out for you"
