We crawled out of coop and walked over to the van since John B had an idea.

"I mean,its obvious,right?A family heirloom.What better place to hide a message?He had to know it was gonna get back to me,right"John B asked looking from the road then back to me.

"Yeah.It's possible"I agreed

"It could also be possible that your concocting wild theories to help,--you know,deal with your sad feels"Pope suggested

"Bro,you know how I process my sad feels.Dank nugs,and the stickiest of ickies, thats how I do it"JJ said quietly

"Im not concocting okay.My dad's trying to give me a message."

"Its okay to trip bro,but---"JJ started

"Look,my-- my dad is missing,okay?....missing. You don't know what it's like to have the person closest to you vanish, and them have no idea what happened. Just wake up every morning wondering."

As I rested my hand on his should,he shot me a quick glance befor JJ spoke up.

"Hey, he could have been kidnapped.Thats definately a possibility."JJ suggested

"Yeah, could be in a Soviet sub getting interogated by the KGB somewhere"Pope suggested

"Absolutely,or Atlantis"JJ added

"Wait, so what do you think the message is"I asked

"Redfeild.Redfield lighthouse.That's my dad's favorite place"John B said as we passed the sign

We pulled up infront of the lighthouse and hopped out of the van one by one.

"Right.You're gonna post up and look out for bogeys,okay?"John B told JJ

"Wait,why me"He asked

"Cause your not coming"Pope replied

"Why"JJ asked

"There are independent and dependent variables.You're an independent variable.We don't know what you'll do."Pope said

JJ and Pope started argueing.

"Oh my god just shut up"I said getting annoyed

"Just listen to me for a second.Pope,you stand look out with JJ.Okay?If we get split up we meet back at JJ's house."

"Great"I agreed walking towards the light house

"I'm gonna work on my scholarship essay"Pope said spliting off from JJ.

John B hopped over the white picket fence that was surounding the light house.I quickly followed and walked over towards the entrance of the tower.

"Remind me what were looking for again"

"You'll know it when you see it"

"Okay"I shrugged following John B up the stairs.

We walked up  flight after flight until we finally came to a door. John B slowly knocked waiting for someone to open it.

"Nobody's home"He said as he started to walk away.

The door quickly opened to reveal an older man with a beard.

"Were here for the lighthouse"John B told him

"The lighthouse is closed"The old man said closing the door.

"Actually,we aren't here for the lighthouse.Were here about the,uh...Royal Merchant"John B said  trough the door.

The old man unlocked it from the inside then opened it once again.
