Lost and found * JJ Maybank

Season 3: Episode 5

Naomi's pov:

I sat in the front yard of the chateau with the rest of the pouges. Me, Sarah, Kiara, JJ, Pope, and Cleo. I hadn't spoken to JJ or Kiara, but I still wanted to be close to Kiara as from what I have heard and worked out she hadn't really done anything.

Sarah had practically dragged me to come along, explaining what we saw at Tanny Hill, Rafe on the phone to her dad. I wasn't really listening, staring into space at the ground, sat next to Cleo on top of an ice cooler, the warm sun hitting my shoulders.

"I could ask Heyward for the truck" I hear Pope say.

"Why do we need your dad's truck" I ask raising my eyebrows, confused at what was actually going on seen as I hadn't been listening for the full conversation.

"Naomi have you seriously not been listening?" Pope sighs.

I shake my head innocently, he sighs dramatically. "Well-

15 minutes later were on the way to Heyward's to ask for his truck, and from the shouting I'm guessing it cant be good. I sat with Sarah and JJ outside the front of popes house, none of us wanting to come in because Heyward is scary when he's angry. Somehow Cleo mustered up the courage to go inside with him, not sure how but she is living their with him after all.

The silence was loud, none of us knowing what to say. Probably because of JJ. My cheating boyfriend. I see Pope and Cleo walking out the house with disappointed looks on their faces, shaking their heads in dismay. We all groan, ringing Kiara to tell her the plan had failed and instead walk our selves to the dock to board the boat.

Half an hour later we were on a huge boat in the middle of the ocean, discussing the plan to 'steal the cross back' as if that shit would actually work.

"Oh my god" Sarah suddenly speaks, bringing her hands to a close and up to her lips.

"Oh my god what?" I ask coming out of my trance.

"Look behind" Sarah says behind gritted teeth, we all turn our heads to see mother fucking topper Thornton speaking to some old guy at the bar. Dressed in a button up collared blue shirt with a pair of nude Swade shorts and a pair of flip flops. He looked so kookish.

I burst out laughing. Topper was so fucking random.

"Is that topper" I say through laughter.

"Yes, what is so funny?" Sarah raises an eyebrow.

"He's just a fucking strange guy isn't he?"

"Mhm true" Pope agrees.

"Why is he everywhere?" Kie speaks, turning back around and shaking her head.

"Perfect" JJ nods grinning.

"Huh? Perfect what do you mean perfect?"

"I bet Topper has a way to transport the cross. He's a kook"

We all exchange glances. "I bet he does" Sarah agrees. We all turn to look at Sarah, widening our eyes. "No"

"Yes" I say.

"No"

"Yes" JJ joins in "Sarah you already have him whipped all right? So why don't you just take one for the team?"

 "What would John B say?"

"I think John B will completely understand. Think about the circumstances . It's about treasure" Pope explains.

"He is obsessed with treasure" u mumble. "God where even is my brother"

"Probably hoping that Sarah will talk to topper for us" Pope says sarcastically.
