Chapter Nineteen
The Crain House

Stella sat at a table with JJ and Pope as they watched John B and Kiara talk. They we're supposed to be at his house but JJ said that Stella's water wasn't as good as it on the cut. So, naturally they went to The Wreck for breakfast.

"Sorry, you're staying where?" Kiara asked as she cleaned up dirty dishes.

"Tannyhill," John B answered simply as Stella laughed in disbelief.

"So you're living with Sarah Cameron," Kiara stated and gave JJ his water which he took gladly.

"Okay, look, the only reason I'm living there is because her dad bailed me out, right?" John B said. "And it's way better than foster care, which, by the way, is where I was about to go if Ward didn't-"

Pope cut the boy off with a smirk, "hey, so do you have a membership to the clubs now?"

"I don't know, Pope," he muttered and sat down at the table.

"John, I need you to be careful," Stella said with a frown. "I'm happy Ward took you in but he always has something up his sleeve. You owe him now and he knows it," her words went over everyone's head but she knew she was right.

John B laughed, "don't worry about me, Sunny."

"What about those little golf carts they drive around?" JJ asked excitedly. "You get one of those?"

"Does it come with a sweater vest, or do you have to buy one on your own?" Pope's question made Stella snort in laughter as she playfully hit his chest.

"Look, you promised," Kiara stated as she stared down John B. "You said you weren't with her."

"I think they're cute," Stella whispered as she played with her fingers.

"Bro, just own it. She got you," JJ groaned in annoyance.

"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," Stella frowned at Kiaras words but she understood.

"Do you guys see her here?" John B asked. "No, right. Okay. A little focus would be fantastic," he squinted at everyone in annoyance. "We've got the map, right?"

"It's out of whack 'cause the guy was ganja'd when he drew it," JJ stated as the all stared at the map in Popes hands.

"It's cause the coat has changed," Kiara said as she rolled her eyes at the blonde.

Stella squinted at the map, "I swear I've seen this before," she trailed off as her friends continued to talk about it.

"So we just have to look for the landmarks that haven't changed," Pope nodded as Stella smiled at him.

"What about the old forts?"

"Battery Jasper."

Stella stood with her friends as they stared at the stupid map once again.

"We're in Battery, right here," Pope said a pointed to a spot on the map. "So if this is parcel nine, then it's somewhere northeast of here."
