"I still don't understand how you got your mom to agree to this. I mean, are you sure it's fine?" Jay says as we were heading to Kie's house, she said she's gonna need help convincing her parents
"I will be alright, okay? She knows it too" I says "I am just saying, you can take some rest since in a while, no one will judge you" he says
"I risked myself for this treasure haunt thing before I even got into it, I am more than deserved to be on this" I says
"This isn't about you being deserved, you are more than deserved. I just want you to take it easy" he says as we arrives Kie's place
"I am taking it easy" I defends as I takes off my helmet and we both gets our his bikes "good" he says before we reaches Kie

"Honey, I am listening to you. I am just having a hard time, so I need you to walk me through it one more time" Anna says as she was sitting in front of Kie, Mike was walking in circles near by. I was sitting on the kitchen sink and Jay was standing next to me
"The cross of Santo Domingo that we found" Kie stars "right" Anna nods "we though it was gone forever. We just found out it's... it's gonna be in Wilmington tonight" Kie says
"Okay. And the cross is Pope's family-" Anna says "Pope's family heirloom" Kie finishes "okay" Anna says "priceless historical artifact" Kie adds
"Priceless" Kie repeats "which you're telling me that you found?" Anna questions"we found it. And then Rafe and Ward stole it from us" Kie says
"Wait, do you know how insane you sound?" Mike asks "baby" Anna tries to calm Mike down "Ward is dead" Mike says "he's not dead. We've been over this part a million times!" Kie says
"And I thought my mom is strict" I whispers over to Jay "it's not the same, Hales" Jay whispers
"You understand that this is hard to follow, right? I mean, we had a funeral for the man" Anna say "I get how it sounds, but he's alive. I wish he wasn't but he is. Why would I lie?" Kie says as Jay was playing with his hat
"He's alive" Kie scoffs "JJ? Haley?" Kie looks at us "yeah?" Jay puts his hat back on "a little help?" Kie asks
"Ward'a alive in the Caribbean" Jay counts on his fingers "yes" Kie says "he's living off the loot he stole from us, and uh..." he puts another finger up
"Yeah, he's flying across to Wilmington" Jay adds "that'll cover it" I nods "give me a break" Mike says "you're right. What do I know, though? Just saw with my own two eyes" Jay says
"So did Kiara and Haley, but whatever" he adds "do you expect me to believe a junkie and a thief?" Mike says "oh, okay. You're going to play on this card?" I says
"Cool it down" Anna says "I am skeptical, okay? I am sceptical JJ as in 'I think it's all bullshit," Mike starts
"I think you've been led astray, Kiara. Just like Haley did" Mike looks at me "what's that supposed to mean?" I asks as I stands up
"Mike" Anna says "I am not letting what happened to you, Haley, happen to my girl" he says as he steps closer to me "you know nothing about what happened to me" I says
"The whole island knows you've been at rehab, everyone says that you went crazy. You want me to believe a crazy person?" Mike says "don't call her crazy!" Jay raises his voice
"Mike-" Anna says as Mike steps closer to me "let's get this out in the open" Mike says "can we take it down a little bit?" Anna asks
"You are a nice girl Haley, from a nice family. And look at your life right now after spending time with him" Mike points at Jay
"A nice family?" I chuckles "let me tell you something. You need to understand that I do get it" Mike starts as he walks to Jay
"Sure, you do. Yeah. Sure. Sure do" Jay says "do you hear me? I do" Mike says "I like you JJ, and I think you're pretty fun to hang out with and ditch school with, go down to the break, because I was once just like you, bro. I didn't think that anything mattered, though I could make up any bullshit story and these stupid looks would believe it"
"Mom" I hear Kie says "but then I learned about hard work and about what really mattered. All I care about, all that I care about is my daughter. That's it" Kie stands
"And all that I know is that she was a lot better off before she met you and your friend. Haley too" Mike says "hey, leave me out of this" I says
"Dad, I was never better off!" Kie says "yes, you were" Mike says "please-" Anna walks up to us "I was miserable" Kie says
"Miserable? No, no" Mike says "take it down a notch, listen-" Anna says "no! This Pogues have ruined my daughter's life" Mike stands in front of Jay
"Didn't mean any disrespect, Mr. Carrera. Yall have a good day" Jay walks away "lovely home" he says on his way out
"What are you doing?" Kie asks "what am I doing? I am protecting my daughter" Mike says "can we please-" Anna says
"Wait a second. Everybody says it, that he's a liar and a thief. He's just like his father" Mike says making me chuckle, a sad one. Knowing how much it's not true
"No, no, no, no. Don't go in there. Don't bring him into this" Anna says "don't bring him into this?" Mike asks
"He's nothing like his dad. Nothing like his dad. You don't know him" Kie says "I don't know him?" Kie asks
"They're nothing alike!" Kie walks away "I know you. Where are you going?" Mike asks "this isn't fair. No, I listened to you" Kie says
"This isn't fair?" Mike says "y'all were supposed to listen to me" Kie walks away with Anna as I looks at Mike
"What do you have to say to me? You don't know anything about life and you're already destroying them, you were such a lovely kid" Mike says "I was, until my dad shot himself and everyone blamed me for it" I says
He stays quite "this whole bullshit about the Pogues ruining Kie's life is just a lie you tell yourself because you can't stand the idea of your daughter wanting to be a Pogue" I says
"That's not true" he says "JJ has nothing to do with whatever happened to me" I says
"Hales, you coming?" Kie asks "he's a good kid, Mike. Kie's as well. I am not asking you to trust JJ, I am asking you to trust your own kid" I walks away
"I am sorry about that" Kie says as we walks towards Jay "don't worry about it" I smiles
"My dad is literally the worst" Kie says "that's whatever. I already know what they think of me" Jay says as Kie gets on behind him
"They think the same thing about me" Kie says "you ready?" Jay asks me "yeah" I answers before we starts driving
It was kinda hurt hearing all this stuff coming from Mike, I always felt welcome in the Carrera house until this moment
I mean, I knew they would might don't like me as much as before after they'd found out I've been into rehab, but I didn't knew it would be that bad
It's not even their business. And all the things Mike said about Jay was so messed up. He wasn't even in town when I started doing drugs, but no one ever listens. Whatever.

"Honestly, the hardest part is gonna be security, all right? So most of the guys are gonna be at the risk yard" Jay speaks as we all were thinking of a plan to get the cross tonight. We were in a boat heading to Wilmington
"We'll need to find some place and guard it, maybe a little further down the line, like a whistle-stop or something" Pope adds
"Yeah" Kie agrees "you guys are getting ahead of yourselves per usual. We don't have a way to transform the cross. What you think? On JJ or Haley's motorcycle?" Cleo questions
"That's not my fault. Oh, everyone. All right, all me" Jay says "JJ, no one said it's your fault stop acting like such a pick me" I says
"Okay, so other options" Pope says "oh my god" Sarah says, we all look at her "oh my god, what?" Cleo questions as we look over
"Is that Topper?" Pope asks "the man haunt us" I says "why... is he everywhere?" Kie asks "we're being haunted" I says "perfect" Pope says "he's like a fucking ghost" I says
"Hey Jayj" Pope speaks "what?" Jay asks "I bet Topper has a way to transform the cross" Pope offers "actually, Pope's right. He does have a rig" Jay says
"No" Sarah says "yes" Jay argues "no. Absolutely not" Sarah "yes, come on" Pope says "Sarah, you already got him whipped anyway, all right? So why don't you just take one for the team?" Jay says
"What would John B say?" Sarah questions "I think John B will completely understand. Think about the circumstances. It's about treasure" Pope says before Sarah looks at me
"Don't look at me" I raise my hands as defence" I says "we can handle John B. Just talk to him" Kie says, Sarah takes a look at Topper before she goes to speak to him on the higher deck, we were all watching from the lower deck
"I am so not jealous of her right now" I shakes my head before she looks at us, Jay gestures for her to keep going making me laugh
"Shut up!" Kie whispers-yells as she hits me. After a few moments Sarah throws her arms onto Topper, pulling him into a hug as we all silently cheers and smiles
