MACKIN' ON MACK

•••Parcel 9 Pt.3•••

Mack's POV

"I just found Mrs. Crain's voodoo doll, guys." I heard JJ say from behind me.

"Jay, can you not pick up creepy dolls you find in a murderer's basement?" I plea, as I turn around to face him, I kick a rock as my feet turn, and Pope and I both hear it splash into water.

Me and Pope both look at each other, eyes widened.

"Did you just hear what I just heard?" I asked.

Pope then stomps his foot, hearing that the ground beneath us is hollow. He immediately crouches down to the wood and starts trying to brake it up from the floor, me joining soon after.

"All right, can we leave this? 'Cause this is getting...." JJ trailed off not paying attention.

"Hey, guys." Pope whispers trying to quietly get everyone's attention.

"Hey, Pope!" JJ whispers back.

"Hey. Stop fooling around and help us move this." I scold.

"Okay, just.... quite." John B adds.

"All right." JJ moves towards us, crouching next to me.

"Hey."

"Sh."

"Guys! Guys!"

There was a bunch of different things coming out of different people's mouths.

"Guys. I know. Yeah, yeah. Sh, Sh." Pope nodded when everyone started to pull up the boards.

"She's probably right upstairs." Kiara looks up, like she could hear the old woman walking around above us.

As we remove the last few boards everyone peers into the big water filled hole in front of us.

"Well, well, well." Pope smiled down at the well that we'd just uncovered.

"That was a good dad joke." John mumbled.

"Not bad Heyward, not bad." I gave Pope a fist bump.

"They built this part of the house right over it." Kiara stated.

"This is where she hid the bodies." JJ deadpanned.

"Oh, dude, come on." Pope hit JJ's arm in annoyance.

"Stop." Kiara whined.

"What? You guys actually think JJ was being serious? You could not hide a body down there." I scoffed, glancing between the three.

JJ looked at me with his eye brow raised.

"Wait. You were actually serious?" I asked, JJ just nodded.

"No, I'm dead serious." JJ added.

"Stop it!" Kiara sighed.

"Ha! Dead serious.... I see what ya did there." I chuckled, smiling at JJ.

"I can't even with you guys right now." Kiara rolled her eyes.

"Don't be salty just because we're the fun ones." I looked over at Kie, pointing between me and JJ, dapping him up.

"It was never an outhouse." JJ added, looking into the well.

"She probably doesn't even know it's here." Kiara argued.

"So.... we found water." Pope smiled at John B.

"We're gonna need a really big rope." John B huffed.

"One sec, let's just see how big...." I picked up a rock and dropped it into the well. Each second it went down, I estimated that it would go 10 feet.
