Sparks | Rafe Cameron

27.

———

Arriving at the graveyard, the Twinkie came to a silent stop. Violets eyes landed on Rafe immediately, watching him dig up the grave. "They got the cross" she spoke up, pointing over at Rafe.

"What do we do?" JJ starts to freak out "What do we do?" He looks around "Violet go out there!"

Violet looks at JJ in disbelief "and say what JJ? Oh hi rafe I know we broke up but I've been stalking you?"

"Perfect, he'll believe that!" JJ pushes Violet towards the door

Pope holds his arm out, stopping JJ from pushing Violet out the van "stop JJ. It's over, What can we do?"

Renfield throws the shovel down in frustration "It's just a corpse." He shakes his head, turning to limberty

"We must have missed something." Limberty sighs, looking around at the mess they made.

Dropping his shovel Rafe was frustrated "Of course. Of course, yeah." He runs his hands through his hair stressed out about the whole situation "Of course it's just a dead body. Jesus!"

Limbrey begins to wobble away "We just got the wrong place." She shrugs, determined to find this cross "We'll go back to the island room."

Rafe climbs out of the grave, brushing himself off as he began to follow reinfield and limberty. Looking back at the grave, a small frown forming on his face. He felt guilty for leaving it that way.

"Come on boy." Reinfield snaps, making Rafe walk faster.

Violet notices them walking towards them "guys shh shh!" She quickly pats JJ's arm before ducking down, hidden from view, keeping her eyes on rafe as he walked back to their car. Letting out a sigh, she couldn't help but frown even more as she watched Rafe drive off, turning her head to see pope sprinting towards the grave "Pope." She speaks up gaining the attention of the others "Pope, wait. Wait! Shit." She rushes out after him

"Cecilia Tanny, Denmark's wife." Pope frowns as he looks down at the grave "He wasn't talking about the cross. He buried her at the foot of the angel. The true treasure." He looks around at the group "His wife."

Violet catches a glance between Sarah and John B, it being clear there's unresolved feelings between the pair.

Kie puts her hand on popes shoulder "Denmark was hung for burying his wife, and now they defiled her grave."

"We can't leave her like this." Violet shakes her head as she jumps into the grave to grab the shovel rafe had thrown down, beginning to fill the grave up again.

After filling in the grave, it was clear Popes frustrations had only grew "I just don't get it." He stutters out "I mean, you guys saw the map. He hides his gold so no one finds it for 170 years and then he sends a message to his son Robert to come here to his mother's grave, but the message never gets to him." He looks around stressed "Denmark wanted him to find the cross. I know we're in the right spot."

"We must've missed something pope.. it's okay." Violet wipes the mud off her head, exhausted from filling the grave.

Kie wanders off, looking around the graves before noticing something interesting "Guys." She gains the groups attention "Come here."

Standing before the tree, Violets eyes widened "The painting in the island room."

JJ shrugs "It's worth a shot, right?" He states to which the group comes to a stand still, nobody wanting to volunteer
