CHAPTER TEN - REDFIELD LIGHTHOUSE

"I mean, it's obvious, right?" John B asked as the five teenagers sat in the Twinkie trying to calm down after the commotion that went down in the chateau.

"A family heirloom. What better place to hide a message? He had to know it was gonna get back to me, right?"

Kiara nodded, hesitantly "Yeah, it's possible"

"It could also be possible that you're concocting wild theories to help, you know, deal with your sad feels" Pope stated.

"Don't think that's helping Pope" Eleanor mumbled, not taking her eyes off her phone as she read the texts that Leon had sent her.

"Bro, you know how I process my sad feels" JJ cut in "Dank nugs and the stickiest of ickies, that's how I do it"

"I'm not concocting, okay?" John B said a bit too loud as he looked at Pope through the rear view mirror "My dad's trying to give me a message"

"If it helps you believe, John B" Kiara sighed, sending him a small smile.

"Look, I-I don't need a therapy session, okay?" He snapped "Look, I'm not tripping out"

"It's okay to trip, bro, but-"

"Look, my. . .my dad is missing, okay? Missing. You don't know what it's like to have the person closest to you vanish and then have no idea what happened" He sighed as he looked out the window "Just wake up every morning wondering"

Eleanor looked up from her phone and to the boy beside her as she saw the tears in his eyes, threatening to spill "It's been almost a year" Kiara reasoned.

"Hey, he could have been kidnapped. That's defiantly a possibility" JJ tried changing the conversation.

"Yeah, could be in a Soviet sub getting interrogated by the KGB somewhere" Pope chimed in.

"Absolutely. Uh. . .or Atlantis"

"JJ" Kiara said in the tone of voice that said shut up "Look, what do you think the message is?"

"Redfield. Redfield lighthouse" John B informed them as they turned down the road that led to the complex "That's my dad's favourite place"

Even though the lighthouse was closed, John B still pulled up right outside as he got out the Twinkie "Right, you're gonna post up and look out for bogeys, okay?"

JJ quickly turned his head to look at John B "Wait. . why me?"

"Because you're not coming" Pope had bit the bullet again and spoke without a filter.

"That's not how I would've put it" John B mumbled as he scratched his neck awkwardly while Pope and JJ began to argue.

"Why?"
