Estrella yanks Pope's arm toward her while the boy scrambles into her arms. The others catching onto what was happening and quickly moving out of the way just as the cross hit the floor. Heavy panting is heard throughout the church as Estrella holds onto Pope. Everyone's eyes on the golden cross wedged into the floor.
"Pope, are you okay?" Estrella asks looking Pope over
"Hey, you good?" JJ asks as the rest walk over
"Yeah, I'm good. Just give me, like, one second to, like, catch my breath." Pope breathes
"You did it, Pope." John B says as he and the other teens walk over to the cross. Estrella stays beside Pope as he lays back to catch his breath
"Pope, she's... she's beautiful." JJ gawks
"I've never seen anything like it." Sarah smiles
"Detail's insane."
"Well, here's why Limbrey wanted that key so bad." John B says
"Whoa. Good find. How much do you think she's worth?" JJ asks as Pope starts to stand up, "Like, if we melted her old bones down, dude, I'm talking like high billions."
"No, JJ." Estrella says turning her attention away from Pope
"This belongs in a--" John B interjects, "No! This belongs in a museum."
"What? So no one sees her?" JJ says
"In a museum where everyone sees it."
"Are you kidding?"
"Hey!" Pope calls out, "It's my ancestors' cross!"
"Right, okay. All right, all right. Well..."
"This is bigger than money, and the world's gotta know the truth." Pope says leaning back against a bench.
"Yes. If we don't get this shit outta here before Limbrey gets here, nobody's gonna know. So saddle up." John B says
"It's heavy like right here." JJ says as the others start to bend down
"Ah! God!" Pope says as he shakes his hand.
Estrella turns to him, "You okay?"
"Yeah." He says as he bends down to help lift. Estrella stands beside him bending her knees for when they start to lift.
"Wait. Hold on. John B, you're gonna pull, all right? Pull down." JJ says
