JJ and Lila laid on the grass near the pathway, fast asleep until the sunrise came to be. The sunlight shined in Lila's eyes for a few minutes before she finally woke from her slumber after tossing and turning. She slowly rised from her laying position, propping herself on her elbow when she noticed JJ laying beside her. Finally, the events from the night before were recalled.
"Hey." She groaned as patting JJ softly on the chest. "Wake up." He didn't wake up even with her calling to him. She decided to continue trying to wake him by patting him on the chest repeatedly until her woke up. "Hey, we gotta go before Kie and Pope wake up, they'll get suspicious."
"Let them." He brushed off her comment, trying to go back to sleep even with the sun shining brightly in his face.
"JJ, I'd like for them to think I'm a virgin." Lila implied as she pulled herself away from JJ, getting up from the ground. She was a virgin, she just didn't want the others to get suspicious if she was not. "If John B were to find out from them, he'd go full dad mode on me."
"Fine." JJ muttered before slowly getting off the ground.
When he stood up straight, he wrapped his arm around Lila before walking back over to the car where Pope and Kie still rested.
...
When Kie and Pope both woke up, they soon set off to go to the Library residence. The same residence that they were meant to be at hours ago. The group pulled up to the property in the car when they admired the large house before them.
"They're a bunch of fancy people, they've had three governors in the family." Kie informed them. "They've run Charleston for like 300 years."
"These Kooks make our Kooks look like Pogues." JJ gawked at the Limbrey home, seeing how rich they were compared to the rich people in the Outer Banks. "You sure this is the place, Pope?"
"Pretty sure." Pope replied, slightly unsure.
"Alright." JJ accepted his answer before opening the car door to hop out.
They all hopped out of the older car, walking towards the house as they wondered what would happen next. Lila noticed the sharpened gates that kept them from entering the main property which made her slightly weirded out.
"Pope." Lila whispered to the boy as she pulled an object out of her jeans pocket. "Take this, to be safe."
She handed him her pocket knife as protection just incase. He hesitantly grabbed the pocket knife from her grasp and placed it into the pocket of his "dad shorts" as Lila would call them.
"Fat city, for sure." JJ mumbled.
"Twenty Seven King Street." Pope re-read the address to see if he was correct.
JJ looked at the gates that Lila noticed beforehand, seeing how sketchy it was before he judged it lightly. "Talk about home security. Are those spikes to keep people out?"
