POPE ROLLED OUT OF THE WAY JUST IN TIME.
They all ran to him after they jumped out of the way as he rolled around on the ground, breathing heavily. He gasped, "I'm good. Just give me, like, one second to, like, catch my breath."
"You did it, Pope," John B breathed out as he, JJ, and Bree ran their hands along the engravings on the cross. The Callaway girl was in complete and utter shock. Of course, the cross had been something nice to think about and dream about, but she never thought that they would actually find it. The Routledge boy moved his finger to a keyhole in the side of the artifact and pointed out to them, "Well, here's why Limbrey wanted that key so bad."
"Whoa. Good find. How much do you think she's worth? Like, if we melted her old bones down, dude, I'm talking like high billions," the Maybank boy rambled on.
Bree looked at him incredulously. "Are you actually insane? If we melt it down, it loses a lot of its value. Not to mention the fact that its hollow, so there's not that much gold."
"Hey!" Pope interrupted all of them once they all started yelling at each other. Actually, it was pretty much everybody yelling at JJ and JJ yelling at everyone else. "It's my ancestors' cross! This is bigger than money, and the world's gotta know the truth."
"Yes. If we don't get this shit outta here before Limbrey gets here, nobody's gonna know. So saddle up," John B informed him, gesturing to the cross and then to outside where the truck was waiting for them to bring the cross.
They nodded before rushing over to the giant golden thing that created a hole in the floor when it fell and grabbing different parts of it so that they could lift it up. The blonde boy was shouting orders at all of them. "It's heavy like right here. Wait. Hold on. John B, you're gonna pull, all right? Pull down."
""I'm gonna pull down. You guys pull up. Ready? One, two, three." Once the brunette boy finished counting down, they all lifted with all of their strength. They were able to get it off the ground, but they were all grunting, and Bree was pretty sure that they were not going to make it very far.
"Who's...who's not lifting right now?" JJ exclaimed, looking around at all of them as they slowly inched to the door of the church. He glared at the Cameron girl. "Sarah, are you seriously—"
