Pope's POV
I was riding my bike in the middle of the night at the pharmacy that my grandma used to live above I put my bike against the wall looking through the window before turning on my flashlight trying to open the door only to see it was locked I grab a brick and break the lock opening the door making sure to close it behind me I walk in seeing how dusty eve is I walk up the stairs opening a door that has a bunch of junk in it I start checking the drawers for the key that my mee-mah use to have I begin to check my grandma's old jewelry boxes tool boxes on top of shelves  "come on where's that key"I say out loud while checking a wallet I sit at her old vanity "damn."I say with a sigh rubbing my face I walk out the room going to the living room seeing a car light approach the shop I wait for it to pass before looking at the ceiling pulling out the picture of the key holding it up to see it was a complete match I start following the pattern putting down my flashlight seeing a part of the ceiling pushed up a little bit I grab a latter up to it before I begin to climb up it I pull down the part seeing a whole bunch of dirt fall down I knock them on the floor giving me a better way to climb in it but when I open it I see it's blocked by something when I try to push it up I plummet to the ground causing a few more pieces nof the ceiling to tumble down on me luckily the weren't That heavy but my fall did hurt I groan for a few minutes on the floor before looking up to see a whole in the part where the ceiling was "what the hell?"I question getting up picking the latter and placing it where I put it before climbing up reaching my hand in feeling a bag a grab it seeing it was a black bag I jump down opening it looking at a case I open the top grabbing the key limbrey was talking about "oh shit!"I yell happily after I get out of that pharmacy and raise my bike to John B's house I throw it on the floor busting through the door "hey Kie what are you doing back?"I ask her seeing her in the guest room I see her putting on her flannel "oh."I say she looks at me before turning around"sorry"I tell her "my mom snapped, and I got booted."she says blankly sitting on the pull out bed "what?"I ask her walking over to her "it's not that big of a deal just gonna stay here a couple days and hang out with my friends we have stuff to figure out "she shrugs "you know if you need a place to stay you can always come stay with me"I tell her comfortingly she looks down before she clears her throat "yeah,uh... How did things go with you?"she changes the subject "well...pops was upset"I sit down "upset? After you left his truck in Charleston? What for"she asks sarcastically
"Uh I'm actually trying to figure that out myself I can't really see any reason.."I hear her chuckle
"That would make him upset. But um,I did ask him about the key, and he said something that his grandmother had something like that. So,I went over to great-grandma's place and uh.."I reach in my pockets sitting next to her so she could see "I found this"she gasp "oh my god"I pass her the key "holy shit pope!"she says excited"I know,I know, I know"I tell her"this is what we need to get the evidence!"she yells "I was right in the room and it came out the ceiling"I inform her "oh my god."she says still shocked "look at it."I reach over to show her "is that writing? What is that?"she questions "turn the light off"I tell her scooting away a little "why?"she looks at me "just do it trust me"we make eye contact she stands up with a weird look but turns the lights off I grab one of the pull of cushions leaning back to get the flashlights "here"I tell her "I don't see anything..."I move her hand on the pillow at an angle "right there.dont move it"I tell her cautiously "okay."she nods I turn the light on hitting the pillow making a whole bunch of dust fly out Kie moves her head back a little she looks on the wall to see a note I chuckle at her face "holy shit"she says again "I know right"I smile "how did you even figure that out?" She asks still looking at it "it's so freaking cool!"I tell her "wait do it again"I tap the pillow making it appear again "path to the tomb begins in the island room"she reads out loud "what does that mean?"she looks at me "so I'm pretty sure that it has something to do with Denmark tanny and an angel cause I remember limbrey saying something  about an angel and how the key les to the cross."she cuts me off "Pope,this is insane your a freaking genius"she compliments me  "thank you"with a voice crack "kinda makes you wonder what the island room is."she looks forward
Jj's POV
I sit inside the ambulance waiting for my phone to go off "waiting in your call, John b"I say to myself I change into a white jumpsuit to match the role I put my phone in the cup holder sighing gripping the steering wheel "come on buddy"I twiddle my thumbs I see a cop car drive pass slowing down turning his sirens on driving up to my window I look the other way still tapping the wheel I hear his engine turn off "I hate when it's slow like this, you know?"he questions I smirk sighing in relief "tell me about it man."I squint my eyes "hey, what happened to Ricky? He bang out"he leans forward I let out a breath "something like that"I look at him "one three Eddie we got an unknown at KC detention."I grab the radio "uh,yeah, ten-four. I'll be right there. Thank you so much. Over."I say into it "duty calls. I'll see you later, officer uh, you have a good night, though okay?"I tell him starting the car "hold up"he says "I got both to do. I'll pace you"he starts his car turning on his sirens I follow after him with a blank expression
