'john b pullin a houdini.' jj said, sitting on the edge of the hot tub, moving around all the items in there from the night before.

'yea where is he, i got my scholarship interview tomorrow. we gotta get this done.' pope said.

ivy's face lit up the moment she saw her brother, 'hey jb.' she smiled.

'speak of the devil, hey!' jj said.

john b ignored both ivy and jj, and continued walking towards the chateau.

'dude i set up the entire winch to pull up the gold and everything.' jj smiled.

'no he did not. i did that.' pope yelled.

'hey john b!' kie said.

'hey!' pope said.

'so that's it?' jj asked.

'no, guys, something's not right.' ivy said. she quickly jumped off the branch she was sitting on and ran into the chateau.

pope, kie, and jj watched ivy chase john b into the chateau, 'uh, what was that all about?' pope asked.

'i was gonna ask you the same question.' jj said.

everyone slowly made their way into the chateau, watching as ivy continuously tried to get john b's attention.

'dude what happened?' she asked. 'john b answer me!'

'you all right man? what- what's up?' pope asked.

'what are you looking for?' kie asked.

'bro what's going on man?' jj asked.

john b picked up the mattress on the pullout couch and dug underneath it, pulling out the gun.

'john b what do you need the gun for?' ivy asked, practically screaming at this point.

'dude talk to us!' jj yelled, standing in front of john b, only to get thrown onto the bed.

'john b!' ivy yelled.

'john b chill! what are you doing!' kie yelled.

'what are you jj now?' pope asked. he stood in front of john b and got pushed against the table.

ivy ran and stood right in front of the doorway. john b the. stopped for a second and stared at her, 'move ivy.'

'not until you tell me what the fuck happened!' ivy growled.

there was a short silence between the two of them, finally broken when he pushed her into the doorway.

'son of a bitch!' ivy yelled. 'john b!'

john b jumped on jj's bike and revved the engine, 'john b!' kie yelled. everyone else came out the door, jj resting his hand on ivy's shoulder, 'you ok?' he asked.

'i'm fine.' ivy said. she ran towards him, stopping in front of him on the bike. 'john b what the hell happened!'

'ward knows about the gold.' john b looked directly at ivy with a hurt look on his face, 'he killed dad.'

john b then took off on jj's bike, ivy immediately chasing after him through the grass, after finally making it out to the road, she slowly dropped to the ground.

'shit, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, ivy!' jj yelled, running to her, latching his arms around her before she could hit the ground.

'no. no. no. no.' ivy cried.

jj sat on his knees holding ivy in his lap, one arm wrapped around her, and the other on the back of her head.

'it's gonna be ok, i've got you.' jj said, rocking the girl back and forth while she continued to cry.

'look guys, we have to go find him before he does something bad.' kie said.

'give him time, he'll come back.' pope said.

'ivy, look at me, please.' jj whispered, ignoring both kiara and pope.

'he killed our dad.' ivy cried.

'and john b's gonna kill ward if we don't go after him.' kie said.

jj looked back, then wrapped his arms tighter around ivy, picking her up off the pavement and holding her tightly.

ivy cried against jj's shoulder as he walked her back to the chateau, sitting down on the couch, gently rubbing her back until she eventually cried herself to sleep.

———————————————————————

jj reached down, lightly shaking ivy until her eyes fluttered open. 'come on, let's go.'

'go where?' ivy whispered.

'to tannyhill. to find john b.' he whispered back.

'no- no i can stay here.' ivy whispered.

'v, you're going with us.' jj sighed.

ivy sat up and looked at jj, 'i can stay here if he comes back.'

'no.. no, if the police show up, they'll take you away, and i'm not letting them take you away.' he said sternly.

'fine.' ivy sniffled.

ivy soon wiped her puffy eyes, standing up and slipping on her vans, then following jj out the door to the hms, where kie and pope were already waiting.

———————————————————————

ivy sat on the bow of the boat, not having spoken a word since they left.

'what now? we just go up to the front door and ask, hey have you seen john b?' jj asked.

'look he lives at tannyhill now, it's plausible. look we can play dumb.' kie said.

'play dumb?' jj repeated.

'its pretty late.' pope said.

'look i've never seen john b like that. we should honestly be going to the cops.' kie said.

'the cop- yea and say what kie? we're worried about our friend because he's going off on a rampage because ward cameron killed big john? like they're not gonna believe us!' jj yelled.

a shiver went down ivy's spine as soon as jj said the words, and he knew it too. he looked at her, his entire face filled with guilt.

'hey, i see ward.' pope spoke.

kie put her hand out for the binoculars, 'let me see.'

'doesn't look dead to me. let's go home.' pope said.

'wait.' jj said.

'what?' kie asked.

'uh, ok. obviously mr cameron is fine, and even if john b was here, he isn't now, ok? plus i have the biggest, most important moment of my life in six hours.' pope explained.

'yea, well, our friends are in trouble. i mean have you seen ivy?' kie yelled.

'i'm in trouble. guys i haven't been home in three days. my dads probably put all my shit on the street by now.' pope went to turn the key and start the boat.

'ok, so that's it? in a time of need you're gonna bail? you're just gonna walk away?' kie yelled.

'ok, yo, guys, can we not do this right now?' jj asked, sitting down next to ivy and wrapping his arm around her, taking off his hat and putting it on her head, pulling her close to him.

'hey, i have a scholarship interview in the morning. i cant-' kie cut pope off.

'ok well what about john b?' she yelled.

'why is it always about john b?' pope asked.

'it's not always about john b. it would be any of you guys in this situation.' kie said.

'oh bullshit!' pope yelled.

'guys.' jj hissed.

'this is about friendship.' kie continued.

'bring it down.' jj mumbled.

'look this is about pogues for life.' kie began to cry.

'ok well what about forensic pathology, huh?' pope asked.

'forensic pathology?' kie repeated.

'it's my life. everything i've worked for.' pope yelled.

'that's your- that's your priority?' kie yelled back.

'stop with the moral high ground bullshit!' pope yelled.

'pope, come on.' jj said.

'no!' pope yelled back.

'excuse me?' kie asked.

'no, no. she has no room to talk. where were you when big john went missing? you weren't there. you weren't there for john b. you weren't there for ivy. you weren't there for any of us. remember your kook year?' pope asked.

'dude.' jj said.

'yea. you forgot about us. now you feel guilty.' pope spat.

ivy brought her knees up to her chest and tried to hide her face as she started crying.

'give me a break!' kie yelled.

kie pushed pope, who pushed her back, then they began fighting.

'hey, yo, yo, yo, cut it out alright? if i'm the one mediating, we've hit rock bottom.' jj pointed to pope, 'sit. now. go! pope i'll drop you off.'

kie sat down on the bow next to ivy, wrapping her arm around her and letting ivy lean against her. 'i'm sorry v.' was all she managed to say.

jj watched everything happen, his face softened, he didn't know what to say to her, he knew sorry wouldn't do anything, all he wanted to do was hug her and tell her it would be alright, even though he knew it wasn't.

———————————————————————

ivy woke up early the next morning, not remembering much of the night before after leaving tannyhill, like it was all one big blur.

she looked out towards the dock, seeing the sun not far above the horizon line. she crawled out of her bed, reaching down and grabbing a different shirt to throw on, not even flinching as her back made a loud crack.

she rubbed her eyes, then walked out of her room, seeing jj asleep in john b's bed, 'so much for john b coming back to a bed.'

ivy continued walking out to the kitchen, seeing kie asleep on the couch, sprawled out across it.

she pulled a beer out of the fridge, walking outside before cracking it open, not wanting to wake jj or kiara. she continued walking out to the dock, sitting down and letting her feet dangle above the water.

she sat there for what felt like hours, staring up at the sun as it slowly made it's way across the sky, too intertwined with her own thoughts to hear the twinkie pull up to the chateau.

'hello? earth to ivy?'

ivy blinked a few times before the realization finally kicked in, 'oh my god!'

she practically bounced up, running across the dock as fast as she could towards john b, jumping up and hugging him as tight as she could. 'you're not dead.' she smiled.

'wasn't planning on it. i gotta protect you, remember?' he smiled back.

'i know, i know. but i want you to tell me everything.' she said. the smile on her face slowly fading, turning into a straight line.

'you mean...' john b trailed off, pursing his lips and shaking his head.

'everything about dad.' she finished.

the two let go of each other, sitting down beside the other on the dock, both of them silent.

john b sighed, breaking the silence between them. 'when i made it to miss lana's, i already knew ward found out about the gold, and that he had dad's compass. then miss lana told me everything. dad and ward had started working together to find the merchant, ward gave dad a boat, supplies, everything. they had made a deal before, i remember dad telling me about it, ward was getting 20 percent of the gold, but being the greedy bastard he is, wanted 50 percent.'

ivy kept her head low, fiddling with her fingers in her lap as she listened.

'then dad and ward got into a fight on the boat, dad tripped and hit his head hard. after ward had thought he died, he stole his map and dumped his body into the water.'

ivy's hands began to slightly shake, her tears dripping off her face and splashing onto her legs.

'but dad wasn't dead. he washed up onto an island. he had lived for a couple days. miss lana said the last thing dad did was for us, carve redfield into his compass. then before aggie hit, ward sent scooter out to the island to look for the gold. when he got there, he found dad's body, brought the compass with him, and you know the rest, he never made it home. and now, the golds gone too, ward got it all.'

john b looked over at ivy, wrapping his arm around her, pulling her close to him, 'i should've stayed with you yesterday.'

she remained silent, the only noises between the two now was ivys muffled crying and john b humming, trying best to comfort his sister like their dad used to do.

'i'm sorry.'
