Rule breakers // Outerbanks

/12/ Midsummers

After their little escape from the party the Pogues were currently enjoying each other's company at the little bonfire they made.

"Hey guys, so like, my dad is already gonna kill me, so what's this mandatory meeting about?"
Pope asked.

"Might as well tell him, man, before we're gaffed."
JJ said to John B as he threw a stick in the fire.

"You ready for this?"
John B asked.

"Yeah."
Kie answered.

"So, the gold never went down the royal merchant."
John B confessed.

"Oh my god, here we go again with this."
Pope commented.

"No No, hear him out, okay?"
Isla said to Pope, already knowing what John B was about to tell them.

"It's been here the whole time. It's on the Island."
John B stated.

"Are you serious? Oh my god."
Kiara said.

"I'd like to voice my skepticism."
Pope replied.

"I'm sure you would Pope, but can I please present you with my evidence sir?"
John B suggested while standing up from his seat.

"All right, so in my bacpack, I have a letter from Denmark Tanny."
John B said showing his friend a letter.

"Who the hell is that?"
Kiara asked, confused by the unfamiliar name.

"Denmark Tanny was a slave that survived the Royal Merchant wreck, check this out."
John B explained, showing Kie the letter.

"Okay, slaves weren't mentioned as cree members on the ship, but my dad, he found the complete manifest. That was his big discovery. So, Tanny used the gold from the merchant to buy his freedom. After that, he bought his farm.."
JB explained.

"Drumroll please, because that farm is.."
John B said while everyone started to make a drumroll sound with their hands.

"Tannyhil plantation."

"Tanyhil?"
Kiara asked suprised.

"Yeah, so after that, he used his money to free even more slaves, and then he sold a shit ton of rice which pisses off all the white planters, and then, they decide to lynch him. So on the day they were coming to get him, he writes a letter to his son as a farewell, and in the last line of that letter, he leaves a codes message about where to find the gold."
John B explained, making Kiara exited by his discovery.

"Where?"
She asked smiling.

"Harvest the wheat in parcel nine, near the water."
John B told them.

"Except, there is no wheat. You see, Wheat is code for gold. Check this out,"
John B said showing Pope something on the paper.

"The gold is in parcel nine, near the water."
He said making Kie gasp in excitement.

"Holy shit."
Pope mutterd while looking at the paper.

"All we need is an original survey map of the property, and we've found the gold."
John B said happily.

"Okay, so this might have a small chance of being actually true."
Pope confessed.

"Dude it's like king tut"
Kiara said happily.

"I'm a genius."
John B said proudly while JJ lifted him up.

"Hello! Fire! You're near the fire, you're gonna burn."
John B said so that JJ would put him down.

"I'm so fucking proud of you right now."
JJ said to the boy.

"Thank you. That's really sweet of you."
John B smiled.
