tw: use of ouiji board, i'll put a * when the moment is over if you wanna skip :)

"Out of all room, we're doing it in here?" John B asked as Lila set the board up on Rafes floor, "This feels personal."

"He locked her in a room." Pope made his point as he sat on the ground with her.

"Yeah, and I almost peed on myself." Lila made her point before pointing to her head, "Also hit my head on the wall in the process of throwing me in his bed."

John B sat down, "Every time you talk I stop and think how I never thought I'd hear these things in my life."

"Yeah, try living with her." Pope commented, "Lila, I do wish you still lived with us."

"I miss dad." she said with a frown, "Especially now."

"I can't believe Shoupe was your sperm doner." John B commented, crossing his legs, "And kinda acted like a creep."

"That's what i'm saying." Lila agreed as she stood up to get the lights, "Light those candles."

"I can't believe we're summoning ghost in Rafe Cameron's room." Pope shook his head as he lit the candles, putting them around them as Lila cut the lights and joined them again.

"You sure you can do this? We aren't gonna end up getting haunted or anything?" John B asked her with a look of suspicion across his face.

"Trust me, John B, I know my stuff." Lila smiled, clearing her throat as she laid her hands on the board, "It's important you don't move. You can't say anything or do any pressure in talking. Let me do the talking."

"Got it." John B nodded as he sat near the two.

"Pope, what would you like me to say? This is your family." Lila said as she caught his eye with a minor nod, "It's up to you but it can't be super wordy."

"Will he know i'm here?" Pope asked, earning a nod, "Ask him for a clue, something small to help us figure out a way to have the cross back in our family."

"Okay, got it." Lila nodded as she took a breath, "Remember what I said."

Pope and John B nodded, placing their two fingers on the styles with Lila. The blonde waited a second as she took a breath, "Denmark Tanny, are you here with us?"

Their hands didn't move. John B glanced toward Pope as Lila took another breath, "Denmark, please, we want to help but we need something. Are you here?"

Pope inhaled with wide eyes when their hands started to move, "Stop moving it."

"I'm not moving." John B shook his head as it hovered over the yes. Lila grinned as she looked at them with a stern expression, telling them to be quiet.

"We want to bring the cross back into your family, with my friend Pope and his mother and father. We're so close to it but we need just a small clue. Just a little." Lila spoke clear and comforting, which scared John B and Pope more then the ghost did, "Can you help us?"

They stood still a moment before Pope whispered, "Lila, is it working?"

"Hang on." Lila shhed hum, "Denmark, what is it you want to tell us?"

The threes fingers suddenly moved to hover over the L.

"L."

"A."

"S."

"T."

"W."

"O."

"R."

"D."

"S."

"Last words." John B concluded, "What were his last words?"

"He buried the real treasure at the end of the angel." Pope mumbled as his eyes went wide, "He buried the real treasure at the end of the angel."

"Wheezie said they were talking about the angel." Lila confirmed with a smile, "Thank you, Denmark."

"Thank you." Pope and John B said on sync.

"We want to say goodbye now, we're saying goodbye." Lila spoke up as she gave the boys a look a moment before they're removed their hands, "Tell me I can have my own ghost show."

*

"You can have your own ghost show, you brilliant little weirdo." Pope attacked her as they fell to the ground in a hug.

"I seriously did not expect that one to work." John B said honestly as he helped them up, "We gotta go find tbe angel."

Lila swung the door open as they hurried back into the island room, meeting them with wide eyes.

"Did you haunt my brothers room?" Wheezie asked her, "Because i'm kinda on Team Lila."

"Me too." Sarah grinned.

"Find the angel!" Lila yelled as she hurried to the wall quickly.

"Find an angel? What angel?" Kie asked with a wild look, "What did you guys find out?"

"He buried the real treasure at the foot of the angel." Pope said as he began looked on the wall, "That's what he told us. That was our clue."

"There's the church!" Sarah said quickly as she hurried toward the left wall.

"Yeah, check the church."

"Look for an angel."

"Could this be an angel?"

"Maybe...maybe..."

"What's going on? Are you guys gonna tell me?"

"The lighthouse maybe?"

"What if angel is code?"

"What could angel be code for, Lila?"

"Maybe it's heat-sensitive."

"Yo! Hey! Guys, I think I found something!" JJ cut their yelling off, waving them over quickly, "Come here. This humongous tree is still on Goat Island. You know what it's called?"

"Angel Oak." Pope concluded as JJ pointed to the tree.

"Look there. There's the key house." he concluded.

"Oh my god, such a smart boy!" Lila cheered as she kissed JJ on the cheek.

"That means the cross is buried at the foot of the angel." Pope gasped as he looked at JJ with wide eyes, "That must be where he put it. That must be where they are right now! We gotta go!"

"Give Rafe a piece of my mind!" Lila concluded as she grabbed her shoes, "Lockin' me in that room."

"I think i'm Sherlock Holmes, all right? You're welcome by the way." JJ announced quickly.

"Wait, can I be Watson then?" Lila asked with a questionable look.

"Duh." JJ said back.

"Guys, we're coming up on Freedman's church." Pope announced as the twinkie drove past the old church.

"Don't even say it." Kie said as she looked at Lila.

"I wasn't gonna say anything." the blonde shut her mouth.

"Really? Absolutely nothing?" Sarah asked in disbelief, "Nothing about how haunted it looks? All the ghost?"

"Nope." Lila shook her head, holding herself back, "But you're probably right, that place-"

"Definitely has ghost." the rest said on sync.

"I'd like to remind you that my ghost obsession saved our asses." Lila announced with a point of her finger, "In conclusion, I should definitely be promoted to John B's spot."

"What's your middle name?" Pope asked oddly.

"Alpheus." Lila nodded. Pope laughed suddenly as the rest held back, "What?"

"Alpheus?" Sarah asked, biting back a laugh.

"It's from the bible." Lila said back.

"Lila A." JJ snorted.

"I hate both of you." John B said from the front, "Especially you, Alpheus."

"There it is, Angel Oak." Kie spoke as her eyes set on the tree outside of the window.

"Oh, shit. Tides coming in." John B huffed as they stopped infront of a large water puddle.

"Look, they already came through here. Those have to be Limbrey's tire tracks. Guys, we gotta go." Pope announced with a nod, "Lila, back me up."

"We gotta go." she agreed.

"I told y'all she was a frog." JJ shook his head as he hit John B's arm, "What do you think, Chief?"

"I'm thinking it's looking a little dicey." John B said honestly as he looked out the broken window shield.

"Yeah, i'm gonna have to agree with that statement." JJ hummed as Sarah and Lila shared a similar look.

"Okay, clearly, they made it, huh?" Kie spoke up.

"Yeah, Kie, in a rich kid truck that was made for this kind of stuff." Lila said back with a eyebrow raise, "No hate to the Twinkie, I love her and all. "

"Why are y'all acting like you're not gonna do it anyways?" Sarah spoke with a faint grin, "Like when have y'all ever done the safe thing?"

"Well, once I fell over JJ's legs when I woke up to pee in the middle of the night. We put pillows on the floor after that to make sure it didn't happen again." Lila pointed out with a nod of her head, "That was pretty safe."

"Ah, the sleepover days in the guest house." JJ sighed dramatically.

"She's got a point." John B pointed to Sarah.

"Speed is your friend. So, put her in second and hammer down, brother." JJ announced as everyone grabbed hold of something, Sarah holding her hand to Lila as the blonde took it.

"Stick to the ground in the middle." Pope nodded his head.

"All right, ready? Here we go." John B spoke as he began to make his way through the water.

"Come on, bro. Punch it." JJ encouraged.

"You aren't going fast enough, dude!" Lila announced as she slapped the back of his head.

"Speed is your friend. Speed is your friends." JJ repeated as they made it through the water, having it fly up on the windows slightly.

"Not to put any more pressure on you, but if you don't make it through here we'll be stuck here forever." Pope said as he leaned over the seat.

"Way to be dramatic, Pope." Lila said as she pulled him back, "Just enjoy the ride."

"You enjoy the ride, Alpheus." Pope argued.

"I am enjoying the ri-" Lila explained before the Twinkie slide slightly, making Lilas body collide with the door.

"Sorry, Lila!" John B called back to her, "I got us through."

"I'm okay." she gave a thumbs up, "All good."

"She's all good." JJ nodded.
