"Never again will you drink anything JJ gives you." Pope spoke as he held a rag to Rios head, hers on his shoulder. "JJ, you could have killed her."

"How was I suppose to know she's a lightweight?" he looked in disbelief.

"It's just a headache." Rio exhaled as she held her eyes shut. "No need for a Doctor."

"Alcohol poisoning exist." Pope pointed out.

"Still look good in a hospital gown." she grinned from behind her shut eyes.

"You two look so cute." JJ faked a baby voice as he curled into Popes other side. "I wanna join."

A crunch caught all their attention, looking back quickly. John B and Kie heard it too. Rio stood up first, going to Kie as Reinfield emerged."Look, I, uh... I don't hold a grudge with any of y'all, all right?" he spoke, hands in the air before they dropped, "But this can go hard or this can go easy. You know what i'm here for. Let me give you a little demonstration. You see that swing?"

He pointed to the swing behind JJ with a nod, "I got the best bow hunters in the Army Rangers with me."

Suddenly, a arrow flew through the air and landed on the swing right by their heads, "Now, they're out there. They'll stick you just as soon as I say so."

JJ stepped forward, an arrow flying and landed between his feet. Rio and Pope both panicked, grasping his wrist from either side to keep him still.

"Now, i'm not gonna give you a countdown or any of that bullshit like that. I'm just gonna whistle." he spoke sternly, standing infront of Pope. The boy hesitated before digging in his pocket, and holding it in his hands.

"This key belong to my family." Pope stated.

"I'm losing my patience with you, Pope." Renfield laughed suddenly. Pope sighed as he handed it over, "Did the right thing, kid. Knowing when you don't have a choice is an under appreciated talent. You be safe."

"I am so sick of this shit." Pope mumbled when he walked off, clearly hurt by having his families key taken from him.

"Pope." Rio followed him, JJ close after. "Pope."

"Gimme the Queen." Rio encouraging Pope, leaned back on JJ as her and Pope played cards.

"I know you're both cheating." Pope argued. "You're teaming up on me."

"Not true." JJ gapped. "We wouldn't do that to you, Pope."

"Yeah, we're an equal." Rio giggled as she motioned around the trio. "But, I still need your Queen."

"How do you even know I have a Queen? Hum?" he huffed in annoyance, passing the card her way.

"Oh, hello princess." JJ's words caught their attention, looking over as Sarah walked up the chateau steps.

"What's up?" Kie asked.

"Shouldn't you be on Figure Eight with your little group of polo players?" John B questioned as he looked at Sarah with a raise of his eyebrows, "Or did you break up with Topper?"

"We're just friends." Sarah faked a smile his way.

"Hey, Sar-Bear." Rio flashed her a peace sign, leaning over to take a sip of Kie's drink.

"All right, what are you doing here?" John B said as he sat up and looked at Sarah.

"I'm here for Pope." the blonde said back as she looked his way, "I think I found the island room."

"How'd you even find this?" John B looked around as they all gapped at the trashed room.

"Damn." Rio placed her fist where the hole in the wall was. "I can shove my whole head in there."

"Please don't." Pope caught her arm and pulled her over, looking back to grab JJ's arm too when he got a little too close to the hole in the wall.

"It was like this when I got here." Sarah shook her head. "I don't know."

"The freaks." a new voice rung, making them all jump and turn to see Wheezie in the doorway.

"Who is that?" Rio gasped, holding her chest.

"Sarah's sister." Kie rubbed her shoulders

JJ hummed. "What freaks are we talking about, Wheeze?"

"Uh, that sick lady and her attack dog." she answered honestly with a shrug. "They-they showed up last night, and they wanted to talk to Rafe."

"Pale blonde lady was here?" JJ asked Wheezie, getting a nod. Rio and Pope shared a look.

"She had crutches?" Kie went on, getting another nod.

"It's gotta be Limbrey." Pope shook his head.

"Some nerve." Rio shook her head.

"Okay, wh-what happened?" John B looked at the younger teen.

"First, they searched the whole house looking for something, and then Rafe told me to go upstairs. But I didn't wanna miss out so I just listened through the grate ." Wheezie nodded her head, falling into a story.

"Very smart of you to do, young Cameron." Rio pointed out.

"What she said." JJ agreed. Pope sighed, rubbing both their shoulders to shut em up.

"Then they came in here and were freaking out, tearing down all the wallpaper saying how they found it." Wheezie recalled her memory with a wave of her hands, "And they were talking about getting across the sand flamingo."

"That's code." JJ confided.

"Flamingos?" Rio looked to JJ. "Maybe the cross was original white and turned pink."

"What?" JJ gapped.

"Flamingos don't turn pink until they get older." Pope looked over at him.

The blondes jaw dropped. "Seriously?"

"Very serious, babe." Rio hummed, wrapping her arm around him.

"The Cross of Santo Domingo?" Pope spoke up toward Wheezie in questioning.

"Yeah, that's it." Wheezie agreed.

"Oh, they were talking about angels!" she added in quickly, eyes getting wide behind her glasses.

"Angels?" John B gave an odd look.

"Guys, Denmark's famous last words." Pope looked around with wide eyes, "He buried the real treasure at the foot of the angel!"

"Wait, I see an angel up there!" Rio annocned as she pointed toward the ceiling. "Lift me!"

"One-two-" JJ started as him and Pope grabbed either of her legs, hoisting her up as she looked to the top. "You see it?"

"Not a angel." Rio huffed. "It's a bird."

"A bird?" Pope asked in disbelief as he set her down.

"I just saw wing!" she defended herself.

The group spread out quickly around the room.

"There's a church over here."

"Yeah, check the church."

"Rio, look."

"Another bird!"

"Stop looking for birds!"

"Could this be an angel?"

"Maybe."

"Whats- Whats going on? Are you guys gonna tell me?"

"The lighthouse maybe?"

"Maybe it's heat-sensitive."

"A graveyard maybe?"

"Graveyard is smart!"

"Hey, yo! Guys, I think I found something!" JJ cut in quickly, earning all of their attentions as they turned his way, "Come here. This humongous tree is still on Goat Island. And you know what it's called?"

"Angel Oak." Pope confirmed with mesmerized eyes, him and Rio both over JJ's shoulder.

"Look there. There's the keyhole." JJ pointed to the middle of the tree, that indeed had a key hole.

"That means the cross is buried at the foot of the angel." Popes smile formed across his face, "That must be where he put it."

Rio looked to Pope. "We gotta get there."

"We gotta get there!" he agreed.

"I think I'm Sherlock Holmes, all right? You're welcome by the way." JJ spoke up as they all began running out of the island room.

"Our genius blondie!" Rio hugged JJ and Pope added in, the trio spinning around down the Cameron hallway. "Let's get a golf cart with all the money!"
