Like the prodigal son
Pick a petal, eenie meenie minie mo, and flower
You're the chosen one"

chapter nine: redfield

:::

"I mean it's obvious, right?" John B asked

After what happened at The Chateau, Blake thought they were going to go back home to try to sleep off the trauma, but John B's idea was to keep looking for clues as if they were solving a real life escape room.

"It could also be possible that you are concocting to help, you know, deal with your sad feels" Pope replied

None of the pogues believed Big John was still slive, just John B and they thought it was best to help him process his feeling rather than keep feeding his fantasies.

"Pope bro, you know how I process my sad feels?" JJ asked

"I really don't want to know, please" Blake stopped him as she had something really gross in mind "I want to erase that image from my mind"

"Do you really?" JJ teased, knowing what she had thought

"Depends" she taunted

"Depends on wha-

"Guys! Please! Leave it for the bedroom" Kie interrupted their conversation from going any further

"Tempting" JJ replied but Blake remained silent and blushing.

That was weird, she is not a blusher.

"I'm not concocting, okay? My dad's trying to give me a message" John b told them, still sticking to the previous topic of conversation

"If it helps you believe, John B" Kie told him

"Look I don't need a therapy session, okay? Look I'm not trippin' out" He said now desperately because no one was believing him

"It's okay to trip, bro, but-" JJ trailed but was interrupted by John B again

"Look, my dad's missing okay? Missing. You don't know what it's like to have the closest person to you vanish and then have no idea what happened. Just wake up every morning wondering" John B rambled desperately

It was a difficult time for everyone, but even worse for John B. When they found the compass it became clear that whatever business Big John had been involved in, it was no place for fove teenagers to be.

"It's been almost a year" Kie told him

"Hey! He could have been kidnapped, that's definitely a possibility" JJ tried to cheer him up a bit

"Yeah, could be in a Soviet sub being interrogated by the KGB somewhere" Pope said now

"Uh...or Atlantis" JJ said

"the Russians were a better option" Blake agreed with Pope

"Look, what do you think the message is?" Kie asked John B being the only two serious at the moment

"Redfield...Redfield lighthouse, my dad's favourite place" He said right when they passed the sign of the lighthouse and a warning saying "Closed due to hurricane" which they obviously ignores.

They parked just a few feet away from the fence surrounding the old lighthouse. They parked just five got out of the van and looked at the scene in front of them, the old lighthouse looking all sketchy with the paint stained from old age.
