chapter seventeen

"Pope, we're not stealing the drone. We're borrowing it" John b pointed put as Pope had been all the way complaining

"Humans are the only animals that can't tell fantasy from reality" Pope quoted

"Did you come up with that?" John b asked him

"Albert Bernstein came up with it" Pope answered "But that quote applies to this whole treasure-hunting thing" Pope continued rambling about the whole fantasy versus reality thing "So, which is it? Fantasy or reality?" Pope questioned looking at all his friends

"Why are you so weird, Pope?" JJ said from beside Blake

He was rolling a blunt as Blake rested her head on his shoulder. Once he was finished, he turned and kissed her head making Blake smile softly.

"Keep the signal clear" Pope said taking the blunt from JJ's lips

"You know what your problem is?" JJ asked Pope making Blake sit up straight

"You?" Pope asked him sarcastically, Blake let out a laugh

"Nah, he's my problem Pope" Blake chuckled

JJ smiled and put an arm around her shoulders.

"Yeah! But yours is that you need to relax, man. You're always so tense" JJ rolled his eyes

"I'm not too tense" Pope whined

"Oh yeah you are, but we still love you" Blake smiled at him

"You two are the same" Pope exclaimed frustrated as the van pulled to a stop.

Kie was in charge of distracting the guard by faking a low tire, while the rest broke into the storage room for the drone.

"Go, go, go, go" JJ shouted as soon as they saw the security guard leave with Kie.

JJ, Pope, John b and Blake managed to get pass the gate just before it closed.

JJ had the combination of the lock in a post-it because his father used to work there, so they made their way towards it and just waited for JJ to enter the numbers.

The plan was almost perfect, if it wasn't for the fact that they let JJ in cjarhe.

"Do you have the right numbers?" Pope asked him nervously

"Alright so I might have the wrong numbers" JJ told them.

Blake turned around abruptly.

"What?" she exclaimed

"Damn it!" Pope groaned frustrated

Blake was trying to figure out what they could do when she heard something, it sounded like a dog barking.

"Hey! Do you hear that?" She asked the three boys

When they turned around they saw a dog barking and running towards them, they were caught.

"Oh shit" she said looking at John B

"That's a cougar, it's okay" John B tried to calm down the dog, but it was not working.

They tried everything to calm it down but it was useless, it kept barking and barking. So Blake thought quickly about how to distract it and reach for something in her waist.

As the first shot to the air rang through everyone's ears, the dog stopped barking and just stared at them.

But then she realised thay maybe it wasn't a great idea, a gunshot wasn't the most discreet thing.
