Omg hi, I know it's been forever and I'm really sorry, I've just been working on other things, and yeah. I'm sorry.

The next morning, the four Pogues were in front of the château, waiting for John B and Sarah to meet them there. Pope and Kie we're testing out the pulley they were gonna use to lower John B and JJ in, while Sadie and JJ sat with their feet in the hot tub. "John B pullin' a Houdini." JJ stated, situating himself on the hot tub.

Sadie bit her lip, suddenly getting a bad feeling.

"Yeah, where is he? I got my scholarship interview tomorrow." Pope reminded.

"Maybe he just-" Sadie began, cutting herself off when she saw John B walking toward them.

"Speak of the Devil." JJ said.

Sadie could tell something was off, by the look on his face, immediately hopping out of the hot tub. "John B?" She questioned.

He walked past her, going into the château.

"Hey!" JJ called out for his friend.

The Pogues all looked at each other, worried and confused. They walked into the château, to see John B aggressively throwing things around, obviously looking for something. "John B, what are you doing?" Sadie asked, nervously chewing at her lip.

John B walked over to the couch, digging through it. "Bro, what's going on, man?" JJ asked.

They saw John B pull out the gun, immediately feeling their hearts drop. "Yo, John B, what do you need that for?" Kie asked, feeling her heart rate pick up.

When John B didn't answer, JJ walked up to him. "Talk to us!" He yelled, John B harshly shoving him into the pullout.

"John B, chill!" Kie yelled.

He walked past them, throwing Pope into the table, as he was blocking his way. "What are you JJ now?" Pope asked, anger rising to his voice.

Sadie ran out of the château, seeing John B walking to JJ's bike. "John B you're really starting to scare me, just talk to us!" Sadie yelled, tears brimming her eyes from nerves.

The rest of the Pogues stood behind her, waiting for John B's explanation for his sudden outbursts. John B started up the bike, "Ward knows about the gold. He killed my dad." His voice broke at his last sentence.

This caused everyone's mouth to go dry, hearts pounding. John B drove off, without another word, breaking his friends out of their trance. They once again began to chase after him, trying to get him to at least calm down before doing something stupid, that he would live to regret. Not being able to catch him, as he was on a motorcycle, they stopped running, catching their breaths.

"Wh-what do we do now?" Sadie asked.

"I don't know." JJ answered going back inside the château, slamming the door.

John B parked in front of the Cameron house, quietly walking inside. He walked up the stairs, into Sarah's room, who sat with a book on her lap.

"John B." She smiled, it immediately wiping off her face when she saw the gun in his hand. "Why do you have a gun?" She asked, heart rate picking up.

"Did you tell your dad about the gold?" He asked, ignoring her question.

"Where's that coming from?" She asked, looking up at him.
