Depths

Truce

JJ drags Harli along behind him as they find the others gathered outside of a door leading underneath the Crain house. John B glances at JJ holding Harli's hand and the two immediately let go of one another before John B looks in through the opening leading into the dark and creepy under space. Harli knows exactly where his head is and she looks up at the home before her.

"Come on. It's the only place we haven't looked." John B insists as he makes his way through the opening, the rest following behind.

The rustling of old leaves and debris crunch beneath their feed. Birds take flight as they enter, disturbing their nesting, and fly out the door.

"Oh, shit..." JJ gasps as he shews the birds away with his hands before following the rest of them into the dreary crawl space. "Down came Mrs. Crain and cut off all our heads. Up came the sun and dried up all the blood." JJ sings.

"Can you stop?" Pope asks frustrated. The creaking noises make Kie and Harli gasp as they're ready to bolt out of there as quickly as they can.

"See any water?" John B questions the group.

"Another dead end?" Kie grumbles sarcastic and frustrated.

"There's not even water on the pipes." JJ reveals.

"There's no water here." Harli adds to the conversation before JJ continues.

"Not a dropamino."

"Know why we didn't find it?" Kie questions before going on to answer the question herself. "Bad karma." John B huffs and rolls his eyes at the girl before him. "You know, we had a good thing going. And then you decide to rope in Barbie, and now the trail's gone dry. Coincidence? Probably not."

As Kie and John B begin to argue, resulting in John B outing the kiss they shared and Kie slapping John B across the face, Pope follows a lead of where the mosquitos in the under space are coming from. Harli watches him from a distance while also watching the dramatic scene between John B and Kie unfolding before her. JJ also notices Pope's discovery and tries to get the others to quieten down.

"Hey! Sh! Keep it down!" JJ instructs them.

Suddenly the four teens hear a splash of water and all look over to Pope who's standing above slabs of wood after dropping a pebble down between them. Pope gets excited and starts to move the slabs, the rest of them joining in helping him.

"Well, well, well." Pope breathes out after removing the last slab and looking down at the well of water below them.

"That was a good dad joke." John B credits him.

"They built this part of the house right over it."

"This is where she hid the bodies." JJ chimes in. Harli moves her hand out and slaps him hard in the chest, eliciting a groan and huff of breath to leave his mouth.

"We're gonna need a really big rope."

After finding the water in parcel nine and hope for actually retrieving the gold on the horizon the Pogues leave to formulate a plan on how to actually search for the treasure. Harli and John B head back to Tannyhill to take a shower and change clothes after walking through, what felt like, a swamp that was Mrs. Crain's yard. The group was instructed to meet back at the chateau that evening to start coming up with a plan to actually locate the gold within the well.

Harli changes into a new outfit, courtesy of the Cameron's, after her shower and leaves the house before John B. She had overheard the two of them talking and knew that he planned to bring her back to the chateau with him. Harli knew that Kie was going to blow a gasket and she wanted to get there before the other two so she wouldn't be accused of being a part of his plan. Harli didn't have anything against Sarah, and actually has grown to like her in the time that they've been staying there, but Kie is her best friend and Harli knows that she's not going to be happy with what's about to happen.
