𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗚𝗥𝗢𝗨𝗣 𝗙𝗢𝗨𝗡𝗗 themselves back a The Wreck with drinks in hand thanks to Kie. As they all sat around the table learning about John B's recovery and were about, Mackenzie and Kie shared the same angered expression.

"I'm sorry, you're staying where?" Kie questioned as glanced at Mackenzie exchanging a look.

"Tannyhill." John B shrugged.

"So you're living with Sarah Cameron?" Kie questioned angrily.

"Okay, look, the only reason I'm living there is that her dad bailed me out, alright? And it's way better than foster care, which, by the way, is where I was about to go if Ward didn't-" John B began to explain himself and his current situation.

"Hey, so do you have a membership to the clubs now?" Pope questioned, leaning back on his chair, his hands behind his head.

"I don't know, Pope." John B shrugged, taking a seat.

"Does it come with a sweater vest, or do you have to buy one on your own?" Pope questioned curiously.

"Don't bother buying one," Mackenzie sarcastically laughed, "You'll be kicked out if they catch you talking to us."

JJ could feel the girl get all riled up as she sat on his lap, he raised his hand to softly rub circles on her upper thigh in a soothing matter.

"Look, you promised. You said you weren't with her." John B just shrugged in response to Kie.

"Bro, just own it. She got you." JJ shrugged.

"Look, if you wanna hang out with her, that's fine. But I'm letting you know now that I'm not doing anything with Sarah." Kie said looking down at John B.

"No," Mackenzie protested, "Absolutely under no explanation am I okay with you being friends with her. All the shit she's done and allowed people to do and you just forget that in a second?"

"Do you guys see her here? No right okay. A little focus would be fantastic." John B said sarcastically. He was growing more and more impatient and done with the constant attack the two girls had on Sarah. "We've got the map, right?"

"Well it's all out of whack 'cause the guy was ganja'd when he drew it," JJ said leaning down, and placing a gentle kiss on Mackenzie's neck.

"So we just have to look for landmarks that haven't changed?" Pope questioned looking at the map.

"What about the old forts?" John B questioned.

"Battery Jasper." Kie said pointing to the map."

"We're in battery, right here. So if this is parcel nine, then it's somewhere northeast of here." Pope explained as he focused on the map.

"Somewhere there." Kie pointed.

"Right." Pope nodded, confirming Kie's statement.

"Over there? Guys, that's not Tannyhill, that's a subdivision." JJ pointed out, he felt as if that had been obvious.

"Tannyhill Plantation was the entire island. It got sold into smaller pieces over time." John B explained to the four.

"So we're just looking for an old stone wall," Pope said as he went back to looking at the map. "Found it."

. . .

"Okay, so the road should split up here. Alright, you're gonna take a left." Pope instructed John B as he took a sharp left.
