THE TEENS SIGHED a massive sigh of defeat, watching as no amount of treasure showed up on the screen. ivy nearly cried, seen as she was so excited."it's not there." john b mumbled. "look, just— just pull the drone up. shit."
"look, we can do another pass. recharge the battery." pope tried. "we can— we can go back down."
"guys, we've been through it three times, there's nothing there." JJ said.
"JJ!" ivy scolded at the same time kie yelled for him to shut up.
"what? it's true!" he defended.
"the gold could be buried. we don't know." kiara said.
"if it was there, it would've been found on the metal detector, okay?" john b said loudly. "somebody beat us to it."
"or it was never there." JJ mumbled.
"i feel sick." ivy groaned, leaning on kie.

IVY WAS HELPING pope at his dad's shop, when pope slapped her arm repeatedly.
"dude, what the hell?" ivy said, slapping his hand.
"look to your left." pope told her, and so she did but she saw the two dickheads what beat up her friend sitting in their car a few yards away from them.
"oh fuck." ivy groaned, jogging back into the shop with pope.

"JJ!" POPE CALLED watching as JJ shot a poor stuffed bear.
"JJ!" ivy tried, walking quickly up to the boy.
JJ continued to shoot, not hearing his friends over the sound of the gunfire plus the soundproof headphones.
"JJ!" pope yelled, louder this time. "they know."
"what?" JJ asked, taking off his headphones.
"they know." pope said again.
"alright, chill, bro. alright? they don't know shit." JJ told him.
"don't know shit, my ass. they looked like they were gonna kill us at heyward's!" ivy said, her eyes wide.
"topper knows i sunk his boat." pope started to pace.
"how do you know they know?" JJ asked, calmly.
"because rafe and topper posted outside of heyward's and mad dogged me." pope stated, looking back at JJ.
"dude, i just said that!" ivy said, throwing her arms up.
"will you calm down and get a grip, man?" JJ asked. "they don't know shit."
