MRS CRAIN

The two head into the Wreck side by side and at the door Trinity makes John B promise to not mention anything about her and Rafe, to which John B nods and says he promised.

"Sweet let's go."

They head out to the back to join Pope and JJ, Kiara was getting drinks.

"You're alive, man." JJ hugs John B.

"Hey your wrist," Pope takes John B's hand and inspects it, "You never came back to the Chateau what's happened?"

"Uh, I'm staying at Tannyhill,"

"You're staying where?!" Kiara comes up behind him and asks.

JJ holds Trinity's shoulders and turns her to face him, "Hey pretty,"

"Hey, JJ."

"Tannyhill." 

"So you're living with Sarah Cameron?"

JJ takes Trinity's hand and takes her to a table, away from the John B - Kiara bickering but it didn't really work once they had all joined the two.

"Hey, so do you have a membership to the clubs now?"

John B looks at him funny, "I don't know, Pope,"

"What about those little golf carts they drive around? I saw one in Trinity's garden actually but do you now have one JB?" JJ asks.

"Does it come with a sweater-vest, or do have to buy one on your own?" Pope puts his hand behind his head and smiles at John B.

"Look, you promised. You said you weren't with her," Kie says.

John B looks to JJ for help but he doesn't, "Bro, just own it. She got you."

He gets frustrated and holds the bride of his nose while Kiara continuous to ramble about it, "If you wanna hang out with her that's fine. But I'm letting you know now that I'm not doing anything with Sarah."

"Do you guys see her here? No, right okay. A little focus would be fantastic,"

John B nods at Trinity, signalling her to put the map out in front of them.

JJ takes a hard stare at it, "It's out of whack 'cause the guy was ganja'd when he drew it."

Trinity rocked her head all the way back to look at JJ as he was standing directly behind her, "It's 'cause the coast changed," 

He nods and grins at her, 'clever girl' he mouths and places his hand under her chin. She curls her lips in to stop herself from smiling and looks at Pope.

"So, we just have to look for landmarks that haven't changed."

"What about the old forts?" Trinity suggests.

"Battery Jasper!" Kiara points to the centre of the map and the crew waste no time getting to the Twinkie.

JJ was standing on the rocks and the others were sitting along with them. JJ crouches down and puts Trinity in a headlock.

"JJ!"

"What?"

"Guys." Kiara scolds them, and JJ jumps down to be in front of Trin.

Pope looks down at the map, "Yeah, we're in Battery, right here."

John B crouches down with him and points at the markings on the map. "So if this is Parcel Nine, then it's somewhere northeast of her." He thinks out loud, pointing in front of the horizon.
