With the help of JJ and John B, Indi climbed back through the gap whilst keeping the envelope safe under her arm. Once she'd gotten her flashlight out of the crypt as well, Indi handed the envelope to her brother. 

"That's not gold," Pope disappointedly sighed.

John B stared at the small package in his hands with his mouth agape. 

"Holy shit," he muttered under his breath, still in complete shock, before turning to the rest of his friends. "This is from our dad."

Before anyone could question how he knew for sure car headlights illuminated the graveyard. 

"Code red. Code red. Square groupers! Square groupers!" JJ announced as he turned to his friends and began pushing them along to hide beside the concrete building.

"Go!" Kiara yelled whilst she ran once she saw the vehicle pull up beside the mausoleum. 

"It's the guys who robbed your house," JJ said to John B and Indi as the three of them crouched against the wall. 

Indi clicked her finger in the direction of her brother's lantern, telling him to turn it off before he gave away their location to the men. Pope followed that instruction too and quickly scrambled to find the off switch on his flashlight. 

"Do you think it's them?" Indi questioned as she peered around the building. 

"Homie's got a gun," JJ responded whilst leaning far over the brunette's shoulder. 

"Fuck this," Kiara said before jumping up from the ground and sprinting away. She was sick of being followed by these men. 

The three boys were not far behind the girls as they climbed over the locked gate. Indi held her hand out for Kiara once she'd made it over herself so Kiara could have a softer landing than she did.

"Guys! Guys I'm stuck!" Pope yelled in a hushed voice. 

The four pogues stopped to turn back around for their friend and found him practically dangling from one of the metal poles by his shorts. 

JJ whipped out the gun from his shorts, aiming in the direction of whoever was chasing them, whilst John B and Kiara helped Pope get down. 

Shaking her head, Indi snatched the gun out of the blonde's hand. "What're you gonna do, huh? Shoot him down like a tin can at the fair?"

JJ rolled his eyes at her before tucking the gun back into its original place- in the waistband of his shorts. 

The two jumped into the back of the Twinkie together whilst in hysterics at Pope running towards them with his hands covered over his crotch, wearing nothing but his underpants. 

Both Indi and JJ had their phones out filming the poor boy as he clambered into the Twinkie feeling embarrassed enough without having a permanent reminder of this incident.

Once they arrived back at the Chateau, everyone had gathered around the table with the anticipation of opening the envelope. Everyone bar JJ who was occupied by making himself a peanut butter sandwich. 

"That bread had mold on it three days ago," Indi called out to JJ whilst he screwed the lid of the peanut butter back on. 

"I'll just pull off the bad parts," JJ shrugged. "Plus, mold is good for you. It's just a natural organism."
