We were all sitting down around a camp fire waiting for John B to tell us what we were doing here
"Hey, guys. So like, my dad's already gonna kill me, so whats this mandatory meeting about?" asked pope
John B looked at JJ "Might as well tell him, man, before we're gaffed" said JJ making me do a confused face, I had no idea what they were talking about
"You ready for this?" said John B as he looked at each one of us "Yeah" i said
"So... the gold never went down with the Royal Merchant" said JB serious
"Oh my god. Here we go again with this" said pope done with the gold subject
"No. All right, wait. Hear him out, all right?" said JJ, we all went back to looking at John B indicating him to continue talking
"Its been here the whole time" said JB and looked at me "Its in the island"
"Are you serious?" i asked him and then looked at JJ who nodded
"Oh my god" said Kie chuckling "I'd like to voice my skepticism" said Pope
"Im sure you would Pope" said my brother standing up "but can I please present you my evidence, sir"
"Proceed"
"All right. So, in my backpack, I have a letter from Denmark Tanny" said JB really excited as he took out a piece of paper from his bag
"Who the hell is that?" asked Kie
"Denmark Tanny was a slave that survived the Royal Merchant wreck. Check this out" said John B handing me the paper "Here you go, okay so slaves werent mentioned as crew members of the ship but our dad, he found the complete manifest. That was his big discovery. So Tanny used the gold from the Merchant to but his freedom"
I finished looking at the paper and handed it to Pope
"After that, he bought his farm. Drumroll, please, because that farm is..." said John B as we all did drumrolls with our fingers "Tannyhill plantation"
"Tannyhill?" I asked him in shock "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" said JB
We all looked at him in shock, paying close attention to everything he was saying
"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 coded message about where to find the gold" said John B
I smiled and looked at everyone "Where?" asked Kie
"Harvest the wheat, in parcel nine, near the water" said JB but paused, we all stayed silent and then he continued "Except... theres no wheat. You see, wheat is code for gold. Check this out"
