"I can write you a cashier's check."
"Cash... No, ma'am. We want the cold hard. That's what that sign says." JJ says, pulling Melia closer into his side. "Cash for gold, and that's what I expect."
"We gonna get it in cold hard."
"Well, I have to send you to the warehouse. I have the money there. Is that alright?" She asks, looking at them.
Melia studies her face for a moment, before sighing and rubbing her face.
"Where's this warehouse?" She asks.
////////////
"So... they keep money out here?" Pope asks from the front of the Twinkie, looking back at the others.
"That's what she said." Melia shrugged, she was sitting beside Kie, across from JJ.
The last few days have been manic, all she wanted to do was sit next to JJ and let him play with her hair and kiss her, but she couldn't. Nobody else knew yet, and it was getting harder and harder by the day to hide it. Shit - she really loved this boy.
JJ chuckled, shaking his head. "That's what she said.." He joked.
"Stop." Pope quickly cut him off, looking back at him with a glare.
JJ pursed his lips, looking down with a small smile on his face. Melia laughed quietly, nudging him with her foot.
"I've never even heard of resurrection drive..?" Sarah says, running a hand through her blonde hair.
"That's because your rich." Melia says with a shrug, folding her arms over.
"You've never heard of it either!" Kiara rolls her eyes playfully with a laugh.
"Thank you." Sarah says dramatically with a sigh, earning a small laugh from Melia.
Kie turned her head, looking out of the window and at the trees that surrounded the long ass road they were on.
"There's nothing but weeds back there.." She says sort of skeptically.
"Weed? I'm up for weed." Melia says with a grin, JJ simply pointed to his bag incase she actually wanted some.
JJ it's eleven fucking AM.
"But like- just because it's weeds, doesn't mean it's like..." Melia was cut off by a siren ringing out from behind them. Kiara turns around, her eyebrows furrowed.
"Cops? Out here..?" She said, pushing her brown curls behind her ears.
"God! Are you kidding me? What did we do?!" JJ groans, the slab of gold literally in his hand, he throws it into his bag, stashing it and shoving it in a compartment in the back of the van.
"Why are we getting pulled over?" Sarah asked, shaking her head.
John B stopped the car, looking back at everybody who was currently bickering like crazy.
"Chill guys-" Kiara said.
"We literally have weed and gold in our van how the fuck am I meant to chill?!" Melia yells, rubbing her forehead. "I hate cops!" She grunts.
