JJ, John B and i had all taken off on our little adventure to go find our dad. We were on the way to the professor's house, although the boys wouldn't make it there if they kept arguing like they were. 

JJ kept making sure we knew that there was a dead body in there and what would happen if the cops showed up. To which we ignored. 

"Make it quick, in then out." JJ mumble as we hopped out of the car. We walked gently into the house, closing the door quietly behind us.

"His body's gone." i hear my brother tell us. 

"Right. No, i know what happened. They've already been here John B. They sent in the sweepers and now probably decontaminated this entire room. There's nothing left. We should get out." JJ was rambling.

"Maybe there's something."

"What are we looking for then?" The two argued back and forth.

"Anything to do with an archaeological dig." John B tells us. 

"Ok thanks that really narrows it down."

"My god, can you two shut up for 5 seconds?" I roll my eyes at them. They'd been at it all morning. 

"Alright, i'll look in the kitchen." JJ walks away.

We weren't exactly sure what we were looking for, we had gone through cabinets, cards, paperwork in the filing cabinet and still. It was odd.

"Whatchu thinking JB?" I ask him as i watch him place his hands on the table, seemingly thinking super hard about something. 

"The idol." I hear him whisper. "Temalacatl." He whispers once more before making eye contact with me then looking straight underneath a cupboard. 

"What is it?" I ask right before he pulls out a picture that immediately sparks interest in us. "JJ." I call him over. Except he turns his face out of the fridge and is eating a wing. "Are you joking?" I question out of utter disbelief. 

"What is it snack time?" My brother sarcastically tells him.

"I'm feeling very judged right now." He states. "There's an entire bird in here that'll just go to waste okay? I'm not gonna let that happen. It's not like i'm stealing it." He rambles on once more. 

JJ had continued to ramble on about the bird in the fridge while John B and i take notice of something else hanging on the wall. 

"You see that too?" I ask my brother.

"Yeah." He whispers back before grabbing it. "JJ"

"Found something?" 

"Local expedition tam departs for South America." John B reads aloud. "Holy shit."

"What?" JJ and I ask. 

"Neville." Is all my brother says.

"Ok now i'm confused." I state with furrowed brows.

"The last things Sowell said before he died was Neville." He tells us. 

"he's the last one alive." i state finally catching on to where he was going.

"Glad you got that." JJ mumbles as he takes another bite of his chicken wing. "We need to find Neville."

"Ok so let me get this straight. So because you know a guy with the same last name as Neville, you think they gotta be related. That's your master plan?" John B asks my boyfriend as we hop out of his van. 

We had pulled up to what looked like a group of guys selling or boxing fruits. Never seen any of these guys in my life. 

"How many people do you know with the last name Persaud? I met a guy here last summer with my cousin cause we're doing the growing business." JJ tells us. "Hey Mr P right?" He greets a man as we walk up to a darker guy who smiles at us straight away. "Yeah hey so we're looking for Neville. Is he still here?"
