chapter twenty one, THE GOLD HUNTERS AND THEIR MISSION
"I don't believe it, all I'm saying." JJ held his hands up as he and the others got into the Twinkie.
"Believe what you want, dipshit," Talia got out, following after Kiara. The two kooks shared a look, and the smile lingered on their faces.
"not what we need to focus on." Pope redirected their conversation as he pulled out the list he had made. Talia slotted next to him, leaning against the passenger side seat.
"Okay, let me just see this." JJ grabbed the paper from his hand, ignoring the protests from the others. "uh, rope?"
"You guys got rope?" John B asked as he drove, his eyes stealing from the road to JJ every once in a while.
"Got it," Pope answered, his hands resting on the rope beside him and Talia.
"what's next?" The brunette girl questioned, moving to look at JJ after a moment of silence. She found the boy, staring intently at the paper in his hands, eyes squinting. "JJ?" She watched as he brought the paper closer to his face, as if it would help.
"Christ, give me that." Pope snatched the list back, going over it silently as he and Talia visually checked it off.
"not my fault I can't read your messy ass writing," JJ defended, and Talia scoffed.
"it's cursive, you idiot." The blonde made a mocking face at the girl, and she hit his arm.
"Ouch, bitch" He turned in his seat to smack her arm, but Pope put his arm between the two.
"stop," Pope's voice was stern.
"what? She started it"
"Are you five?" Kiara let out, stopping the three from continuing.
"enough, okay? We're here," John B announced as they pulled to a stop. "are you ready?" He impatiently asked as he turned in his seat to look at the others.
"Do we even have a plan here?" Talia questioned, they had barely talked about it.
"yes, go under the house and go in the well." JJ looked at her as if she was stupid, and the girl rolled her eyes.
"That's not what I meant. What actually is the plan, do we even have a plan B?" Talia looked to Pope, the one who she'd expected to be on her side. Pope chewed at the inside of his lip at the miscalculation on the pogues part.
