The next morning the pogues were in the back porch, john b on the lounge chair, kie and jo on the couch, pope on the chair covering himself with a blanket until his neck and jj was laying against the door frame
"that was epic" pope said making jo chuckle
"did you guys see kelce's face?" john b asked
"well, hello, princess" jj said when he saw sarah enter the back porch. jo looked at him with a scolding look for the nickname and jj shrugged, letting her know he didn't really mean it
"morning sunflower" sarah said placing her hand on top of jo's head
"morning babe" jo answered with a sleepy voice
"shouldn't you be in figure eight with your little group of polo players?" john b teasingly asked making sarah look at him "or did you break up with topper?" he asked making a face as if he was sorry for her
"we're just friends" she said as if she didn't care
"uh, he's just a friend. you have a lot of friends, sarah cameron" john b said as sarah walked towards pope
"yeah, it seems like you've got some of your own too" she answered, a bit angry and annoyed by his comments
"all right, what are doing here? what do you want?" he ask sitting straight
"i'm here for pope" she answered making pope look at her confused "i think i found the island room"
and with that everyone stood up in shock

the six pogues were in the twinkie going to cameron's mansion, john b and a sarah were in the front while the others stayed in the back.
"guys, listen to this" pope said "the diary says the cross holds the most holy relic in all of christendom, the garment of the savior"
"so wait, he saying there's a holy garment inside the cross?" kie asked
"yeah. it says the garment is capable of healing the wick form any malady" pope answered
"mhm, yeah. 'if only i may touch his garment, i shall be made well'" jj said making everyone look at him confused "what? i went to sunday school"
"sure"
"well, that explains why limbrey would want the cross so bad. she thinks it can heal her" jo said
