It was almost noon when kie and jo arrived together at the château, when they didn't find anyone in the house they walked to dock and saw john b laying in the floor and jj sat on the railing

"good morning boys" kie said as jo walked near jj and kissed him

"dude!" john b almost yelled "when did this happen?"

"the night you went in the hospital" jj answer

"glad me being hurt made you make a damn move" he said and jo laughed at his comment as she took out a cigarette

"can i?" jj asked and she handed him one "thank you, beauty"

"what we're you guys taking about?" jo asked lighting up her cigarette

"ward got the gold" john b said as he lied down again

"what?" kie and jo exclaimed

"he asked me about it when we were on the boat, he asked me to be in it and when i said no he literally tried to kill me" he answered

"john b-" kie said

"i'm alright. i managed to escape on a jet-ski. but when i got back, well, i guess i got the feeling and i went to the crain house. he fucking bought the house"

"you sure he got everything?" kie asked

"every bar" he stated firmly "the whole enchilada"

"jesus" jo blow out some smoke

he grabbed a hold on his cast and yanked it off, grunting "look, it's not like i expected a happy ending or some shit" he said throwing away the cast

"john b-" kie began to scold him but he cut her off

"what, kie? it's a hairline fracture. who cares?"

"you should care" kie lectured "your arm's gonna be messed up for life"

"it's fine. see?" john b raised his hand, willing his fingers around for effect

"guys!" the four turned to see pope running towards them "oh! oh! oh god! i ran all the way here" he said placing his hands on his knees, trying to catch his breath

john b cocked a brow at the boy "you all right?"

"how was the interview, pope?" jj asked

"don't ask" he asked still trying to catch his breath

"awesome" john b mumbled

"jb. look, i'm sorry, dude. about everything"
