John B looked outside the chicken coop seeing the two men come out and put boxes in their car.
"Do something Pope shut him up" JJ said motioning to the rooster. "What do you want me to do" Pope asked.
"Pet it or talk to it I don't know" Kie said. John B resumed back to his spot next to Kie once he noticed one of the two men were looking. "You do something" Pope said.
JJ grabbed the rooster and killed it. Adeline noticed the regret on his face and put her hand on his shoulder.
JJ looked at her and smiled at her grateful before sitting next to her while Adeline noticed John B holding Kie's hand. "Better what are you doing let's go" One of the men told his partner.
Eventually the two men left, and Adeline let out a breath of relief.
"For a second there I thought we were goners" Adeline said.

"I mean it's obvious right a family heirloom I mean what better place to hide a message he had to know it was gonna get back to me and Adi right" John B said. "Yeah, it's possible" Kie said.
"It could also be possible they you're concocting wild theories to help you know deal with your sad feels" Pope said.
"Bro, you know how I process my sad feels dank nugs and the stickiest of ickies that's how I do it" JJ said. "I'm not concocting okay my dad's trying to give me a message" John B said.
"If it helps you believe John B" Kie said. "Adi, you believe me right" John B asked her.
"John B I gave up on dad a long time ago but if you think he's sending a message then he's sending a message" Adeline said.
"Look I don't need a therapy session okay I'm not tripping out" John B said. "It's okay to trip bro but" JJ said when John B interrupted.
"Look my dad is missing mine and Adi's missing you don't know what it's like to have the person closest to you vanish and then have no idea what happened just wake up every morning wondering" John B said.
"it's been almost a year" Kie said. "He could have been kidnapped I guess you never know" Adeline said. "That's definitely a possibility" JJ said.
"Yeah, could be in a Soviet sub getting interrogated by the KGB somewhere" Pope said.
"Absolutely uh or Atlantas" JJ said. "Anywhere really I just hope it's not Mexico crazy stuff always happens in Mexico" Adeline said. "Adi" Kie said, and Adeline stayed quiet.
"Look what do you think the message is" Kie asked John B. "Redfield, Redfield lighthouse" John B said. "Dad's favorite place" Adeline said.
As they arrived at their destination, they all got out of the car. "Right, here's what's gonna happen" John B said going to JJ and Adeline.
"You're gonna post up and look for bogeys okay" John B said. "Wait why me" JJ asked.
"Because you're not coming" Pope said. "Why" JJ asked. "There are independent and dependent variables and you're independent we don't know what you'll do" Pope said.
"Shut up, shut up" JJ said talking over Pope. "Just shut up" JJ said.
"Listen to me for a second just listen Pope you and Adi stand look out for JJ okay if we get split up, we meet back at JJ's house" JJ said. "Great" Kie said.
"Did you call him" John B asked Adeline. "Call who" JJ asked.
"An old friend of mine y'all never met him but John B has heard me talk to him from time to time and he could really help with this stuff aside from being obsessed with treasure hunts like I told you all earlier he knows the guy who works here he can help" Adeline said.
