Hazel POV

"Kie! This better work." JJ said as he walks to the twinkie as sarah and kiara are in the Twinkie. "We can't pawn this if there's a giant wheat symbol on it. JJ said as he drops the gold on the ground. "It's gonna work." Kie said as she puts the gold on the pan.

I get out of my car and walk over to them. "Hi guys." I say as I walk over. "Hi princess." JJ says as he kisses my cheek.


"Hell of a job melting it down, Dr. Frankenstein. JJ says as he gets out of the van. "Like you could've done better." Kie said. "I could have done much better. I took a welding class." JJ said. "When?" Kie said to jj.

"Whoa, whoa. Hey. Sh! Chill out, okay?" 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 said as we walk in. 'Cause you're the best liar." Pope said.

"Afternoon, ma'am." JJ said as we walk in. "Afternoon." The woman said. "I see you buy gold." "That's what the sign say, don't it?" The woman said.

"Well, I sure hope you buy a lot of it, because I'm about to blow your mind." JJ said. "I ain't got much left to blow, so have at it." The woman said. "How about them gold apples?" JJ same as he puts the gold down on the counter.

"That ain't real." The woman as she laughs little bit. "That ain't real?" JJ said. "It can't be." The woman said. "Feel how heavy it is." JJ said. "Let's get some light on that." JJ said.

"Spray-painted tungsten." The woman says. "Spray-painted tungsten? Really? Okay. Why don't you see how, uh soft it is?"JJ says "You mind?" The woman said. "No, go for it." JJ said.

"Wow. Would you look at that?" JJ said. "Hold your horses. We ain't got to the acid test yet." The woman said. "Ooh! The acid test. My favourite, guys." JJ says as he looks to us as I giggled.

"Well, it ain't plated and it ain't painted." The woman said. "Ma'am I'm telling ya, this is as real as the day is long." JJ said. "It looks like somebody tried to melt it down." The woman said.

"My mum. She had all this jewelry laying around the house, and she thought it was best to— to melt it down. To "consolidate" it." JJ said as the woman puts the gold into a scale.

"Seven pounds? That's a lot of earrings." The woman said. "Okay, to be honest, ma'am, it's really hard to see my mum fall apart with Alzheimer's." JJ said. "Give me a minute." The woman said as she's goes in the back.

"So, i, uh.. I talked to my boss." The woman said as she's goes back to the counter. "And?" "And, uh, this is what I can do." "Fifth thousand?" JJ said.

You think I walked in here not knowing the spot price? Ma'am, I know for a fact this is worth 140, at least." JJ said. "Well, sweetie, you in a pawnshop. This ain't Zurich. Do I look Swiss to you?" The woman said.

"Ninety, or I walk." JJ said. "Seventy. Half price... and, um... I don't ask questions about where you got this." The woman said.

"I'm gonna need that in large denominations, please." JJ said. "Well, here's the snag. I don't have that much denominated, not here anyway. I can write you a cashier's check."
"Cash... No, ma'am. I want the cold hand. That's what that sign says. Cash for gold. And that's what I expect. I'm gonna get it in cold hard." JJ said.

"Well, I have to send you to the warehouse. I have the money there. Is that all right?" The woman said. "Where's this warehouse?" JJ asked the woman.
