When Wrong becomes Right

Chapter 20

We all scattered, dropping John B's rope. JJ grabbed onto my hand, and pulled me to the side with him, both of us being quiet.

"She's blind." I heard Sarah say, another shot lighting up the room. Kie and Sarah ran out, JJ Pope and I still with her. I saw John B's hand reach the top of the well, his head poking out.

A loud bang, made our ears ring as JJ grabbed my hand and we ran out of the small door.

We ran as fast as we could, jumping into the van. JJ got in the driver's seat, and I got next to him. "Go go go!" We all yelled as Blondie started the car. 

"Why are we always getting shot at?!" Pope yelled as John B jumped over the wall. He ran, before jumping into the van.

"JJ drive!" Sarah shouted as he turned to look at him.

"Are you okay? You shot?" I asked him, trying to make sure he was okay. "No, I'm good." He replied.

"I think I'd know if I was shot right?" Kie asked. "Yeah, I think so," I replied, JJ looking at me, and lightly hitting my leg with his hand, and laughing. I smiled at him, looking into his eyes and wondering why all these feelings are just now showing up, I mean look at that face.

"You look disgusting" Pope said, "You smell like ass," Kie added.

"All-time pogue hall of fame baby," JJ said. 

"Hell yeah," I said to him, smiling as we all caught our breath.

"That bitch is possessed," Kie said.

"That bitch can't aim," Sarah added.

"That bitch... yeah she's just a bitch." I said, making everyone laugh.

I turned around to look at John B and saw him pull something out of his pocket. I watched, as he dragged his finger across it, revealing gold.

"What is that?" I asked. 

"No, you didn't"

"We did it baby!!" John B announced as we all started cheering.

"Oh my god!" JJ started yelling, all of us too excited to think straight.

We all screamed, so happy that our lives are finally looking up.

"Guys wait. We're gonna be rich!" Kie said.

"Full kook!" we all started chanting, so freaking excited. JJ and I looked at each other, and he reached over and grabbed my hand. I laughed, my adrenaline still through the roof.

"He said it looked something like this," Kie said, showing us the horrible drawing.

"So it goes 50 feet down, and they're using a hundred-foot rope," Kie said, moving her finger around to explain.

I laughed, asking "Who drew this?" Sarah saying "Seriously." 

"Who do you think?" Kie asked, looking up at Pope and John B.

"Layne, this better work." JJ said, bringing the gold out to us. "we can't pawn this if there's a giant wheat symbol on it." He said, dropping the gold to the ground. "It's gonna work," I said, holding up the blow torch.

"Hell of a job melting it down Dr. Frankenstein," JJ said to me, getting out of the van.
