"You look like a happy camper." JJ spoke to Pope with a minor snort as him and Rio walked around the chateau to see him.
"Why such a long face, Gorgeous?" Rio patted Popes back as she jumped up onto the table with a questionable look.
"You know how I took off with Kie the night of the Cats Ass?" Pope asked the pair.
"What a memorable night." JJ hummed.
"Well, it was great, right? But, now she says that it wasn't and wants us to be friends." Pope explained with a crazy look, tossing his hands up. "What am I suppose to do with that?"
"Ah, man. Again?" JJ winced as Pope nodded. "Should have saw that coming."
"Pope, my love, let met explain something to you." Rio waved him over as she held his face. "Is Kie fantastic? Absolutely. Is she crazy hot? Totally. Do I blame you for being in love with her? Not at all. Are there plenty of other fish in the sea that you can catch and fry up to eat? A million times yes."
"What she said." JJ hummed in agreement.
"You can just hang out with me and JJ." Rio shrugged. "We're fantastic company and will put out if you want."
Pope choked on a laugh. "Rio!"
"Say the word and we're all in." she shrugged, looking back to JJ. "Assuming Mr.Maybank is on board."
"Ms..." JJ trialed off. "Shit, I know you told me it."
"Anthony." Pope leaned on the side of the shed.
"Ms.Anthony!" JJ took a dramatic bow. "I am on board like white on rice."
"Guys!" John B ran around the corner. "Pope, it's your dad, man. We gotta go."
"Let me know if i'm hurting you." Sarah spoke as she bandaged up Hayward's bruises and cut face.
"You're doing just fine." he gave a small groan. "Thank you, darlin."
"Pop, what happened?" Pope leaned on his level.
"Oh, I should've known better." Hayward shook his head. "He came in just as I was about to lock up. Caught me by surprise. Once he had me down, he put his knee in my chest, and he asked me about that-that-that key from that-that drawing you showed me. And in case you're wondering, I ain't tell him nothing. Now, did you track it down?"
Pope pulled the key from his pocket, showing it to his dad. "I found it in Mee-maws old apartment above the pharmacy just like you said."
"Shit, boy, you should've gave this to me. I wouldn't have had to take a beating." Hayward looked his way with a shake of his head. "What's the big deal? It ain't worth anything. Why they want it so bad?"
"I didn't know. First, I get this letter telling me that I need to go to Charleston. And then I meet a rich lady who wants me to give her a key that I didn't even know was in my family." Pope explained quickly with wide, panicked eyes. Rio and JJ rubbed his shoulders on sync.
