"mold is good for you its a natural organism" the blonde boy explained loudly from the kitchen whilst the rest of us sat down looking at the envelope from my father.

kiara called over jj who stood behind me watching the big reveal.

john b then tore the seal from the envelope reaching inside and pulling out a huge map. he unfolded it, flattening the paper for all of us to see.

i gazed at the paper mesmerised by how we managed to find this and what it meant before pope pointed out "X marks the spot"

i grabbed the envelope shaking it until a tape recorder fell out, looking at john b who was sat next to me.

"what's that" jj asked confused by our faces, "it's a tape recorder, dumbass" kiara told the puzzled boy.

i clicked a button on the side and a red light switched on with my dads voice coming out of it "dear birds"

jj leant over me "birds?" he whispered. "it's what dad used to call us" i said quietly whilst he put his hand on my shoulder.

i then leaned in closer to the recorder listening "i hate to say i told you guys so, but i told you so, and you doubted your old man"

"john b" my fathers voice continued "i suspect your probably filled with guilt and self-loathing over our last fight, and charley your probably acting fine to cheer up you're older brother, but don't kill yourselves yet kids"

john b glanced at me hearing what our dad said about me.

my father then continued to explain how he found the merchant saying the X on the map is where it is located "if something happens to me i want you two to finish what i started, go for the gold kids, and i love you both even if i didn't always act like it"

the recording then stopped causing a tear to escape my eye, falling down my cheek.

i then stood up hugging my brother who was crying aswell.

kiara strung cords on her ukulele whilst the group sat next to the water. "how much was it again?" jj questioned throwing small pebbles into the marsh.

"five hundred mill" pope responded sitting with him arm around me.

jj let out a sigh "alright, let's talk the split" he said abruptly sitting forward "now before we say evenly, may i remind you that i am the only one that can properly defend us from those groupers who were after us"

he held the small gun in the air waving it around "protection? not cheap, okay?"

pope and jj then began to argue about jj wanting a five percent raise.
