When they got back to the chateau they crowed around John b who was sitting at the table. Except for JJ who was making a sandwich. "That bread had mold on it three days ago." Pope said, savannah looked up confused but then saw JJ making a sandwich.
She rolled her eyes at him and grabbed the loaf a bread she bough a couple of days ago for them and started making him the same sandwich, "I'll just pull off the bad parts. Plus, mold is good for you. It's just a natural organism." JJ said as they both finished up making the sandwiches "JJ, Sav, come on." Kie called "Yup. Hot damn! Let's do it." JJ said and ran over to them with Savannah following savannah held her hand out already knowing what was going to happen.
JJ took a bite of the sandwich and immediately started gagging and spit the sandwich into savannah hand, which she would've been disgusted but it wasn't actually chewed up he had just bit a price and then spit it out. He gave her the rest of his sandwich which she threw away and than came back and gave him the good sandwich she made.
He looked at her in awe and smiled before taking the sandwich from her and eating it. "Holy shit." John b said opening the map that was in the envelope "Oh. X marks the spot." Pope said pointing to the bolder "x" on the paper
JJ looked down at savannah and held his Sandwhich up to her face asking if she wanted a bite. She looked up at him to make sure he was sure. He nodded and she took a small bit of the sandwich and leaned against him.
"Longitude, latitude. Wait, there's something else in there." John b said and reach in pulling something out, "What's that?" JJ asked "It's a tape recorder, Jay." Savannah said
"Dear Bird." Big Johns voice came though the speaker on the tape recorder "Who's Bird?" JJ asked "That's what my dad called me." John b said
"I hate to say, "I told you so," but I told you so. And you doubted your old man. I suspect at this moment, you're filled with guilt and self-loathing over our last fight, but don't kill yourself just yet, kid. I didn't expect to find the Merchant either."
Savannah, kie, JJ,and pope shared a look, "You were probably right to call me out. Wasn't exactly Father of the Decade. What can I say, kid? I could smell the barn. And hopefully, we're listenin' to this in our brand new sugar-shack down in Costa Rica, livin' off passive investments and pulling on permits. If not, and you find this for less than optimal reasons, well, that's what the map is for. There she is, the wreck of theMerchant. If somethin' happens to me, finish what I started. Go for the gold, kid. I love you, Bird, even if I didn't always act like it. I'll see you on the other side."
"Holy shit, he did it! Big John... He found the Merchant..." JJ said not noticing his bestfriend who had started crying "JJ stop. Jay stop." Savannah said motion over to John b who had walked away from his friends so they wouldn't see him cry
"Sorry." JJ apologized, Kie, JJ, Pope,and Savannah walked down to the dock to give John b privacy. Eventually he walked out and joined them. Kie was playing soft music on the ukulele, "How much was it again?" JJ asked "Four hundred mil." Pope said
