As Rafe searched the island for Iris, she was down at the Chateau, laying on the dock with John B, Kie and JJ, who had showed up a little while ago.

They were discussing how Ward took the gold right out from underneath them.

"Are you sure he got everything?" Kie asked.

"Every bar. The whole enchilada." John B said as he pulled off his cast.

"Is your wrist even healed?" Iris asked, grabbing his hand and examining it, "You literally just had that case put on-"

"I don't care, look, it's not like I expected a happy ending or some shit."

"John B-" Iris said as she further looked at his wrist

"What, Iris? It's a hairline fracture. Who cares?"

"You should care." Kie and Iris said at the same time before they laughed.

"Your arm is gonna be messed up for life." Iris said.

"It's fine. See?" He broke free from her grasp and moved it around.

Footsteps shook the dock and they all turned to see Pope running towards them, "Guys! Guys!"

What the fuck?

"Oh! Oh god, I ran all the way here!" He panted, trying to catch his breath.

"You alright?" John B asked.

"How was the interview, Pope?"

"Don't ask." He panted some more, "JB, look I'm sorry dude. About everything."

"It's fine."

"But, but I don't have a lot of time and, and I have information that is tactically relevant. So before I had my interview, my dad said he was going down to the private airstrip to cut palms for Cameron's big plane. Because it was too heavy and it needed a longer landing strip to take off. So I'm there sitting in my interview, thinking to myself, hm, why would Cameron need a longer airstrip to take off? What could be so heavy to weigh it down?"

The gold.

John B sat up as everyone shared a look.

"Gold." JJ said, meeting Iris eyes as she nodded.

"That's right." John B agreed.

"Exactly. Guys, this is our chance, but it leaves tonight and we have to go."

"Guys, we can't give up now." Kie said with a smile.

"What's the plan, big man?" JJ asked.

"We're gonna steal that shit back." John B smiled.

They all smiled at one another and began to walk towards the Chateau.

As if by fate, Iris' phone rang and she saw it was Rafe.
