"They're a bunch of fancy people. They've had three governors in the family." Kie spoke as they drove to Limbreys the next morning, riding in the fixed truck, "They've run Charleston for, like, three hundred years."
"These Kooks make our Kooks look like Pogues." JJ spoke as he looked out the window, Rio smooshed between him and Pope.
She looked out the window. "All right, this is it, Gorgeous.
"All right." JJ announced, getting out after the three did, "Fat city, for sure."
"Twenty-Seven Kings Street." Pope spoke as he stared.
"Talk about home security." JJ nodded toward the spikes at the top of the fence, "Those spikes to keep people out?"
Kie gave a sigh, "No."
"The slave quarters are over there." Pope said as he looked deeper into the fence, "Those spikes were keeping people in."
"Crippled bitch." Rio mumbled, taking the lead as she went up the house. "Anybody else freaked out? Need me to hold your hand?"
"Ugh, absolutely." JJ agreed, taking her out reached hand. Rio grabbed Popes after he knocked on the door, causing him to look down with wide eyes.
The gate opened for them as the four slipped in, walking up to the large doors. They were neatly cleaned and had gold handles. Pope gave a weary expression before raising his fist and knocking a few times. The door swung open as a man with dark eyes and a horrible scruff stared at them. His eyes scanned them before staring at Pope, "You must be Pope."
"Are you Mr.Limbrey?" Pope questioned nervous like.
"Mrs.Limbrey was expecting you yesterday." he spoke bitterly. Kie looked to Rio slightly alarmed.
"Oh... I'm- I'm sorry. My car broke down on the way here." Pope stuttered over his words.
"Carburetor blew up in the middle of Nowherevillie." JJ saved Pope quickly with a nod.
"Sorry." Rio gave him a flirty look. "Maybe I can repay her."
"Rio." Pope whispered in disbelief.
"I'm trying to save you." she mumbled in return.
"Yeah, she was real upset when you didn't show." He ignored the banter and looked back at Pope with a raise of his brows.
"We tried to call but there was no number on the invitation." Kie spoke with a nod of her head, "We got here as fast as we could."
"She also expected you to come alone." the man, yet again, ignored everyone but Pope.
"I mean, these are my friends. They helped find the Royal Merchant too. I-" Pope began to explain.
"The instructions were explicit. Your friends can stay outside." he rolled his eyes with his answer.
"We're kinda a package deal, man." JJ nodded his head respectively.
