After Pope got back he told us all about how he's related to Denmark Tanny. We drove to the boat dock and sat in one of the huts there.
~Hut~
Jb: I still can't believe that you're related to Denmark Tanny.
Jj: uh huh
Jb: are we in the presence of a royal?
Jj: a king? We shall crown him. All hail the lord of Tannyhill!
He said in a weird British accent. We all bowed down and laughed.
P: everybody relax. Can we relax, please?
S: relocate cats ass, question mark?
JJ: I'm with that.
K: of course you are
I smile. It finally felt normal again.
Ki: how soon can we move in?
Jj: cause I don't have a place to stay
K: me neither, bunk beds?
Jj: double beds are cheaper.
He winked at me.
Jb: yay! Their back to their obnoxious flirty selves.
Everyone cheered and we laughed.
P: I just keep thinking about the letter, the one that limbrey sent. It had the wheat symbol on it. Like that must mean it has something to do with the royal merchant.
Jj: yeah something seems fishy.
P: but if we find that cross, we can split it like we were gonna split the gold.
Jj: yeah I'm good with that.
K: and live happily ever after.
Jj leans back against the tall crate I was sitting on and I put my arms around his neck.
K: wanna put our money together and buy a castle?
I whispered.
Jj: no parents?
K: uh huh
Jj: just me and you
K: uh huh
Jj: I'm down.
I kissed his cheek and put my chin on his neck.
Jj: can we talk later?
K: sure.
We zoned back into the groups conversation, and Limberly stood wanting the key.
L: I won't stop until I have it, I don't have a choice. Which mean you don't either.
Jb: it's Limberly right? Is that right?
John b stood a few metres away with the key in hand.
Jb: looking at the tide right now id say it's about 20 feet deep out there. So if I just threw it in the channel, the probability of finding it again is slim to none.
I looked at pope who pulled the key out his pocket confused.
Jb: you'll wanna give it a shot, let's see what happens.
L: no hey!
Limbrey shouts. But John b doesn't really throw it.
L: please don't do that.
Jb: get him to back the hell up.
The dodgy looking dude backed away from pope.
Limbrey went on about the key and JJ's plan worked. He gave her the fake key and she left. Leaving us with the Tape that could set John b free.
P: whose idea was the fake key?
John b put his arm around Jj and pulls him back patting his chest. He made the cutest face, one of my favourite things about Jj is when he scrunches his nose.
Jb: I don't know, should we tell him?
Ki: wow, I'm impressed
P: did hell freeze over?
Jj: even a blind pig can find an acorn sometime.
The boys hug him and mess around.
Jj: I don't even know what to t saying means but I saw it on Reddit.
Jb: we gotta take that tape to shoupe
Jj: yes sir
Jb: ward Cameron were coming for you big boy!
Jj: shot gun!
P: it's wards time now!
Everyone walks off but JJ swivels around to face me. He puts his arm around me so help me walk.
We continue walking and he randomly kisses my cheek.
Jj: that's for earlier.
I look down and smile as memories of us flood back.
