John B pulled up the van around the side of JJ's house, Bella once again seeing two of her favourite people, a smile instantly forming on her face. The blonde boy looked up as John B beeped the horn of the van at them "Lets ride"

"This better be good" Pope approached the siblings.

"Oh trust me, it is Popey" the girl chuckled.

The four drove over to figure eight, pulling up outside of The Wreck, the restaurant Kiara's parents own. Pope had gone inside to get Kiara but came back out alone, shouting down to the van "She says she's not coming"

JJ hung out the back window "Why not? What'd you do to her John B?"

John B muttered under his breath "Shit" then decided that he was going to go in to try and get her himself, leaving JJ and Bella alone in the van.

Bella rubbed her hands over her face in distress."Oh god! Not more awkwardness. I can't deal with this anymore"

"I'm sure it'll be fine princess, if not, i'll just cover your ears whenever they talk to each other" JJ joked, making the girl blush at the nickname he'd always given her, only now realising how much she likes it with the growing crush she developed on the blonde.

"I appreciate it J, thanks" she laughed, spotting John B successfully walking back to the van with Kiara in tow, Pope following them.

Bella hopped into the back of the van, sitting across the back seats. JJ then climbed over, joining her, as he positioned himself behind the girl so she was sat with her back against his front.

When the van started moving again, the sun had fully set, making the sky dark and the air slightly chillier. Bella cuddled into JJ more as he started talking "You mind if I just relax on this one? It's been a long day, a lot of weird stuff's gone down. I'm just gonna lay low" He had one arm around the girl's waist and waved a joint around with his free hand as he was talking, making Pope look at it "Oh, did you want a hit of this?" JJ asked the boy.

Pope raised his hand to the boys face "I keep the signal clear"

Bella laughed at him "Pope, you're adorable" the girl feeling JJ shift in his seat slightly after she said that. Unknowingly to her JJ also felt the jealousy the girl got whenever she saw him interact with another girl, when she interacted with other boys. Even if it is just Pope and they are strictly just platonic. Just like he and Bella were and always would be.

Quickly snapping out of his thoughts, JJ started rambling to Pope "Dude, okay. Do you understand that your problem is that you don't get creative? If you got creative then-"

John B then cut him off "Look, I- I know we were wrong about the lighthouse alright? And wrong about pretty much everything else going on. But we were right about one thing. Okay? Our dad is trying to tell us something and- and Bells has a really good lead this time and I think it's gonna work out"

Bella smiled brightly "I'll take full credit if this works out by the way JB"

He lightly chuckled "I'll let you have this one Bells"

The van pulled up to the graveyard, making Kiara ask why they were there and John B started to explain as they walked through the darkness with nothing but a few torches and lanterns to light their path "Okay, so, you know when you're trying to remember a song and can't remember who sings it"

"Why are you dragging this out?" Bella groaned.

"Shut up" He snapped at his sister, her instantly holding her hands out in surrender to his tone "Anyways, so, Redfield. This whole time I thought it was a place right? But it's not a place. It's a person" John B finished, holding his lantern up to the name on top of the mausoleum that read 'Redfield'
