"Okay, you're telling me Denmark Tanny decided to hide the cross here?" JJ asked in disbelief as they entered the old, abandoned church.
"Everybody, just spread out." Kie encouraged.
"Okay, well, if I was a cross and wanted to be hidden in an old church, where would I hide?" John B spoke out loud in questioning.
"If I was a cross, i'd be the most sexy cross ever." Rio said said she looked under the benches some.
"Probably the super shiny kind." Pope agreed with her.
"Are you sure that Denmark hid the cross here, Pope?" JJ spoke up in questioning, "Like, are we at the right church?"
"It's gotta be here somewhere, guys." Pope shook his head, standing at the alter.
"What if we have to push a secret button or, like, okay, like a..a certain chord, and then all of a sudden, the ground beneath us reveals the catacombs or something on which we stand?" JJ spoke up as he looked down at the ground, standing near the piano.
"It's not an escape room." Kie rolled her eyes.
"It's gotta be in here!" Pope snapped suddenly.
"Sorry. I'm sorry." JJ rose his hands in defense.
"We'll find it." Rio reassured Pope.
"I can't see where they'd hide a giant cross here." John B said, taking note of the lack of hiding spots around them. Rio smacked him in the arm.
"No, no. There's no way he would set us up on a freaking goose chase that would lead us to a church that has nothing." Pope stressed as he threw his arms around, eyes wide.
"Yes, I get it. I don't know what to tell you, man." John B shook his head.
"The clues led us here. The cross is in this church." Pope repeated.
"Pope, it'll be all right." John B stated as Pope threw himself onto one of the benches, "We've had setbacks in the past, and we figured it out."
"When i'm feeling unsexy, which is rare, I have to shut my eyes a second." Rio nodded as she waved her hands for everyone to do so. "Now, picture the hottest version of yourself, and remind yourself that they are who you will be all the time. In this case, we're going with the most intelligent versions of ourselves. Let's all picture it."
A few moments passed before JJ spoke up. "I already feel smarter."
"That's the spirit." Rio agreed.
"We've just gotta think about this logically, all right?" John B went along with Rio calming state, "Where else would you hide a seven-foot-tall cross made of gold?"
Pope lowered the eyeglass, staring up at the ceiling.
"What?" JJ asked as Pope stood up.
They followed his gaze to, what appeared to just be part of the wood built on the ceiling. With a harder look, it had been clear it was shaped like crosses.
