John B pulled his arm out of the gap, a package in his hand. "Holy shit." Maggie mumbled, eyeing the letters that formed the words, 'For Bird'.

"That's not gold." Pope said, disappointment dripping in his tone. Kie pulled herself out of the hole, Maggie helping her land.

"Holy shit. This is from my dad." John B grinned, his hands suddenly shaking lightly.

"Code red. Code red. Square groupers! Square groupers!" JJ warned, everyone running away from the incoming headlights.

"It's the guys who robbed your house." The group turned their lights off as they ducked behind graves.

"Do you think it's them?" Maggie asked her friends.

"Homie's got a gun."

"Screw this." Kie booked it from her spot, everyone following her. "Right here!" The men shouted from afar. "Shit!"

They ran up to the fence, everyone easily jumping over except for Pope whose pants were caught on a spike. "Guys, I'm stuck!"

"I got you!"

JJ stood back with the gun in his hand, John B pushed JJ's arms away as Kie and Maggie helped Pope get down. They grabbed hold of the back of his shorts and just pulled, the article of clothing ripping off completely.

"Let's go!" Maggie laughed as Pope covered the front of his body with his hands. Everybody ran into the van, giggling with each other.

"I feel like I have 6 shots of adrenaline pumping in my veins." Maggie exhaled, her head resting on the window as they drove off.

Back at John B's house, JJ was spreading peanut butter on sandwich bread. "That bread had mold on it three days ago." Pope informed him, "I'll just pull off the bad parts. Plus mold is good for you. It's just a natural organism."

"JJ that's nasty." Maggie gagged, clearly seeing the green and white spots that he covered up.

She grabbed a spoon and took a small scoop of peanut butter to eat as a snack. John B always questioned why she did that, he never understood just eating straight PB.

Shoving the spoon into her mouth, she saw JJ staring at her with an odd look. "What?" He simply chucked and shook his head, finishing the sandwich.

"Guys." Kie called out. Everyone gathered around John B who sat at the table.

JJ took a bite of the sandwich, instantly gagging at the rancid bread. Maggie held back her laugh, biting her bottom lip as she focused on John B opening the package.

JB unraveled a large piece of paper, revealing a map, "holy shit." "X marks the spot." Pope pointed out, his finger landing on the large 'X'.

"Longitude, latitude. Wait, there's something else in there." He reached in and pulled out a tape recorder.

"What's that?" JJ asked.

"It's a tape recorder, dumbass." Kie answered as Maggie nudged him.

John B was hesitant before he pressed play."Dear Bird." A man's voice spoke.
