"That's not gold" Pope said as Kie handed the envelope to John B. "No way" Adeline said as she and John B shared a look.
"Adeline then helped Kie down with Alex's help. "This is from our dad" John B said motioning to him and Adeline. "Code red, code red square groupers, square groupers" JJ said.
"Go" Kie said as they all started running. "It's the guys who robbed your house" JJ said. "Wait your house was robbed" Alex asked.
"Not now Alex" Adeline said as they all hid. "Lights" Kie said" as they all turned their light off, but John B didn't as he struggled to. "John B, John B" Kie said.
"Turn your light off man" Pope said. "John B your light" Kie said. "Do you think it's them" Kie asked. "Homie's, got a gun" JJ said.
"Screw this" Kie said and took off running. "Kie" Alex said before following her with John B and Pope. JJ helped Adeline up before following Kie.
Alex, Kie, and John B jumped over the fence. JJ and Adeline jumped after them and Pope went to but got stuck. "Hurry up" Alex told Pope. "Go" Kie said.
"Guys, guys, I'm stuck, I'm stuck guys" Pope said. "Pope come on" JJ said.
"Hang on I got you" Alex said going to him. "Pope don't move okay" JJ said as Alex saw he had a gun.
"You're gonna rip me wait you're gonna rip me" Pope said. Adeline then put JJ's hand which had the gun in it. "Put that thing away" Adeline said and JJ did.
"You're fine come on" Alex said as he got Pope down. "Pope come on" JJ said as Pope stood up.
"Nice come on dude it's a little tootsie roll" JJ said as they all ran once again. "Come on" Kie said after laughing.

"That bread had mold on it three days ago" Pope told JJ. "I'll just pull off the bad parts plus mold is good for you it's just a natural organism" JJ said.
"JJ" Kie said. "Yup, yup, yup let's do it" JJ said. Alex saw JJ gag and spit out the sandwich before tossing it.
"Weren't you the one said mild was good for you" Alex asked as John B opened the envelope. "Alex leave him alone" Adeline said. "Just saying" Alex said and John B pulled out a map.
"X marks the spot" Pope said pointing to it. "Longitude, latitude" John B said before realizing there was something else in there and pulled it out revealing a tape recorder and a folded-up paper.
Curious Adeline took the paper. "What's that" JJ asked as John B looked at the tape recorder.
"It's a tape recorder dummy" Kie said, and John B played the tape recorder. "Dear bird, and shortcake" it said in Adeline and John B's dad's voice.
"Who's bird " JJ asked. "That's what my dad called me" John B said.
"And shortcake" Alex asked. "That's what he called me" Adeline said.
"I hate to say I told you so, but I told you so and you doubted your old man I suspect at this moment your filled with guilt and self-loathing over our last fight but don't kill yourself just yet kids I didn't expect to find the merchant either" the tape recorder said as John B, Adeline, Alex, JJ, Kie, and Pope looked at each other.
"You were probably right to call me out wasn't exactly father of the decade what can I say kids I could smell the barn and hopefully were listening to this in our brand new sugar shack down in Costa Rica living off passive investments and pulling on permits if not and you find this for less than optimal reasons well that's what the map is for there she is the wreck of the merchant if something happens to me finish what I started go for the gold kids I love you bird and shortcake even if I didn't always act like it I'll see you on the other side" the tape recorder said and John B turned it off.
"John B" Adeline said worried for John B knowing even though she didn't believe their dad was still alive he did, and John B walked out of the room crying.
"Holy crap he did it, big John he found the merchant he" JJ said.
"JJ, I know you're excited and all but can you" Adeline said. "Sorry" JJ said as Kie and Adeline e went to John B comforting him.
"He's gone Adi he's gone I never believed it you did you were right" John B said. "I didn't want to be" Adeline said.
After John B calmed down, he noticed the paper in Adeline's hand.
"What's that" John B asked her. "I don't know let's find out" Adeline said walking back in the room with Kie and John B.
Adeline then opened the envelope. "It's my birth certificate" Adeline said confused. Till she saw who her biological father was and was shocked.
"Adi what is it" Alex asked. "Adi" John B said concerned. "Ads" JJ said going to her and Adeline gave him the paper before running out of the room and running outside.
Confused JJ looked at the paper and his eyes went wide. "JJ what is it" Kie asked.
"Ward Cameron is Ads biological father" JJ said making everyone eyes go wide before JJ rushed outside and went to Adeline and pulled her into a hug.
