After their little escape from the party they were currently enjoying each other's company at the little bonfire they made.
"Hey guys, so like, my dad is already gonna kill me, so what's this mandatory meeting about?" Pope asked.
"Might as well tell him, man, before we're gaffed." JJ said as he threw a stick in the fire.
"Are you ready for this?" John B asked.
"Yeah." Kie answered.
"So, the gold never went down
the royal merchant." John B confessed.
"Oh my god, here we go again with this." Pope commented.
"No No, hear him out, okay?" Evie said to Pope, already knowing what John B was about to tell them.
"It's been here the whole time.
It's on the Island." John B stated.
"Are you serious? Oh my god." Kiara said.
"I'd like to voice my skepticism." Pope said.
"I'm sure you would Pope, but can I please present you with my evidence sir?" John B said while standing up.
"All right, so in my backpack, I have a letter from Denmark
Tanny." John B said showing them a letter.
"Who the hell is that?" Kiara asked.
"Denmark Tanny was a slave that survived the Royal Merchant wreck, check this out." John B explained, showing Kie the letter.
"Okay, slaves weren't mentioned as cree members on the ship, but our dad, he found the complete manifest. That was his big discovery. So Tanny used the gold from the merchant to buy his freedom. After that, he bought his farm."JB explained.
"Drumroll please, because that farm is.." John B said while they all started to make a drumroll with their hands.
"Tanneyhill plantation." John B said.
"Tanneyhill?" Kiara asked surprised.
"Yeah, so after that, he used his money to free even more slaves, and then he sold a shit ton of rice wich pisses off all the white planters, and then, they decide to lynch him. So on the day they were coming to get him, he wrote a letter to his son as a farewell, and in the last line of that letter, he left a codes message about where to find the gold." John B explained, making Kiara excited.
"Where?" She asked smiling.
"Harvest the wheat in parcel nine, near the water." John B said.
"Except, there is no wheat. You see, Wheat is code for gold. Check this out," John B said showing Pope something on the paper.
"The gold is in parcel nine, near the water." John B said making Kie gasp in excitement.
"Holy shit." Pope muttered while looking at the paper.
"All we need is an original survey map of the property, and we've found the gold." John B said happily.
"Okay, so this might have a small chance of being actually true." Pope confessed.
"Dude it's like king tut" Kiara said happily.
"I'm a genius." John B said proudly while JJ lifted him up.
"Hello! Fire! You're near the fire, you're gonna burn." John B said so that JJ would put him down.
"I'm so fucking proud of you right now." JJ said to the boy.
"Thank you. That's really sweet of you." John B smiled.
"Oh my god we're gonna be rich
bitches!" Evie said excited.
