(Years ago.....)

Joan: *sniff* *sobbing*

Joey: Hey... Hey, what's wrong?

Finding his daughter on the roof of their apartment, crying, Joey quickly came to her side.

Joan: *sniff* It doesn't matter, it not like you care...

Joey: I do care, princess.

Joan: No you don't! Else why are you and mom always gone!?

Joan: You always leave me with them! And with some incompetent idiot!

Joan: I'm always the one who has to take care of the boys! And you have no idea how hard it is...

Joan: And I don't know what I'm doing... John is probably going to end up a crazy person and Jordan in jail with the crowd he hangs around with....

Joan: And it's all going to be my fault....

Joey:...

Joey: I'm not going anywhere.

Joan: Don't lie... I know you have to.

Joey: No. I decided right here and now. I'm going to stay.

Joan: Hm? Just like that?

Joey: Yep. Just like that.

Joey:(stretches) I could use a vacation... What'd ya say you and me go to Coney island for a bit?

Joan: Like... Right now?

Joey: Don't worry. It'll be like no time has past at all. No one noticed.

Joey: There and back, in a snap!

*SNAP*

(Present day)

*CLANK*

The hinges of the celler were snapped after Joan kicked them in and entered the churches underbelly. Discovering an area that was ripped straight from the era of the crusades, Joan's hunch about the church got stronger.

Mossy stone interior led her to believe this was some type of mausoleum. The coffin in the center didn't help disprove it.

Joan: This is certainly ominous....

Joan: *sigh* Let me guess... Some thing-a-ma-bob that people don't understand because an idol for worship...

Joan: Creating a cult... Yada yada yada!

Joan:(mind) Booooring. Aunt Jen, is this really it?

Joan:(mind) If I'm lucky, it's a thing-a-ma-jig.

*Duhhh duhh♪*

With her phone ringing, Joan hopped onto the coffin to sit upon and answer the call.

Joan: This is Jojo. Yoyo!

.....

Joan:(smirks) Blackheart? What do I owe this call?

Joan: I hope this isn't a booty call, naughty boy~ cause I'm working right now.

Joan: But we'll see each other-

....

Joan: Oi, what do you mean "cancel"?

....

Joan: Well just quit then! You know I'll make you my sugar baby lickety split.

Joan: Just gotta wear a collar ever so often...

....

Joan: N-no... I wasn't suggesting that we get a dog... I was flirting- listen...
