KIARA CARRERA

" He said it looked something like this." I show Ocean this sketch.

" So..." Harper said looking at the sketch.

" That's 50 feet down, and they're using 100 feet rope." I point at the paper. " So I guess this little wagon will go..."

Sarah laughs. " straight to the gold room."

" Who drew this?" Ocean laughed.

" Who do you think?" Harper laughed and looked at Pope.


JOHN B

" You wanna help, or just stare at Harper all day?" I asked.

" Sorry, yeah let's get back to it." Pope said getting back to work. " We get this boat winch out, bring it to the basement, drill it into the floor. We lower you down and get as much as we can. And, uh- this time we won't drop you."

" That'd be great." I said seriously.

" Kie! This better work." JJ announced walking closer to the van. " We can't pawn this if there's a giant wheat symbol on it."

" It's gonna work." Harper said holding a blow torch.

We girls all head out of the van and start setting up to melt the gold as much as we could.


 OCEAN ROUTLEDGE

We all head to the pawn shop to exchange the gold for some money.

" Hell of a job melting it down, Dr. Frankenstein." JJ said getting out of the car.

" Like you could've done any better." Kie gets out of the van.

" I could have done way better, I took a welding class." JJ fought back.

I can these two are arguing again but honestly Kie is such a badass I was just gonna let her do her thing.

" Everyone chill out." John B said.

" Easy for you to say. You're not the one that has to pawn this piece of shit off. How did I get this job anyway?" JJ started walking away.

" 'Cause you're the best liar." I laughed.


JJ MAYBANK

" Afternoon, ma'am." I walked into the pawn shop.

"Afternoon." the lady said.

" I see you buy gold." I mentioned.

" That's what the sign says, don't it?" she said with sass.

" Well, I sure hope you buy a lot of it, because I'm about to blow your mind." I go to pull out the gold.

" I ain't got much mind left to blow, so have at it." she said sarcastically.

" How about them gold apples." I placed the gold on the counter.

" That ain't real." she chuckled.

" That ain't real?" I asked.

" It can't be." she continues to laugh.
