I saw an envelope that had 'To bird and bean' written on it, my eyes started to get glossy as I looked at it, I passed it to the guys

"Thats, not gold" said pope disappointed, I got out and now John B had it "Holy Shit. This is from our dad"

"Code red, code red. Square groupers! Square groupers!" Said JJ, we all went to hide behind a wall "Its the guys who robbed your house"

"Do you think its them?" i asked them "Homie's got a gun" said JJ making me freak out

"Screw this" said Kie standing up and began to run, we all followed behind quickly, we jumped the gate but pope got stuck at the top, he had to rip his shorts in order to get down, we laughed at him quickly and ran to the van and left

We got home and i saw JJ making a sandwich, but the bread had mold in it

"That bread had mold in it three days ago" i told him

"I'll just pull of the bad parts, plus, mold is good for you. Its just a natural organism" he said

"Whatever you say, handsome" i told him then he offered me a little "Want some?" "No thanks" i said chuckling

I walked over to John B and sat next to him, JJ coming behind me, my brother opened the bag and i heard JJ gag from behind me "Told ya" i said a smile cracking on my face

John B took out a map and extended it on the table "Holy shit" he said looking at it

"X marks the spot" said Pope pointing where it was

"Longitude, Latitude" said JB, I grabbed the package and felt something inside "Wait, theres something in here"

I took it out and saw a tape recorder, I looked at John B with a nervous look "whats that?" asked JJ "Its a tape recorder, dumbass" said Kie

John B pressed play and we all listened carefully

"Dear bird and bean,..."

"Who are bird and bean?" asked us JJ

"That's what our dad called us" i told him then continued to listen

"I hate to say 'i told you so' but, I told you so. And you doubted your old man. Bird, I suspect at this moment, youre filled with guilt and self-loathing over our last fight, but dont kill yourself just yet, kid. I didnt expect to find the merchant either....."

I looked at John B and grabbed his hand, both of us with our eyes filled with tears

"You were probably right to call me out, I wasnt exactly father of the decade. What can I say, kid? I could smell the barn... And hopefully we're listening to this, you, me, and bean, in our brand new sugar-shack in Costa Rica, livin' of passive investments and pulling on permits. If not, and you found this for less than optimal reasons, well, thats what the map is for. There she is, the wreck of the merchant. If something happens to me, finish what I started, go for the gold, kids. Bird, Bean, I love you, even if I didnt always act like it.... I'll see you guys on the other side"
