"LOOK WHO IT IS," POPE CALLED WHEN THEY FINALLY ARRIVED. They had dropped Luke at the Marina, and JJ helped him pack up his boat. They got back a lot later than they were scheduled to, and the friends waiting there were pissed. "Look who it is, the tortoise and the tortoise. Just a couple hours late. Where the hell were you guys?"

"Paternal complications," Kie answered with a sigh as the trio climbed out of the truck.

JJ was getting winch out of the back of te truck as he elaborated on what his friend was saying. He explained, "Luke was at the Chateau."

"Oh, great!" Pope exclaimed sarcastically, throwing his hands up in the air before pointing to the Routledge boy's leg. While you were having family time with your pops, John B got bit by a gator."

"What?" Bree yelled, taking a couple of steps forward to see the blood dripping down and onto the top of the Twinkie. The leg of his pants were torn, and Sarah was examining it and trying to stitch it up or stop the bleeding. The brunette girl wondered when it happened and how long he had been left like this. She suddenly felt really bad for agreeing to bring Luke to the Marina. On the other hand, there was no way that she could have said no to JJ when he was looking at her with those pleading eyes.

The Maybank boy raised his eyebrows at them in shock, worried about his best friend. He dropped the winch on the ground and walked toward him. He questioned, "Like, for real?"

"Does it look like we're joking?" Sarah shouted when it was obvious that they were not.

The Carrera girl looked around, clearly confused about the timeline of how everything went down. She asked, "Okay, what the hell happened?"

"What happened? I got bit by a gator!" the brunette boy yelled frustratedly at the same time as Pope screamed once again, repeating, "He got bit by a gator!"

"I don't know why I'm being yelled at. I put my ass on the line. We got here as fast as we could," Kie shouted, and then, everyone started yelling at each other until no one could understand anything that anyone was saying. Bree was arguing with Pope about who knows what, and John B was yelling at all of them while Sarah and Kie fought.

JJ was starting to freak out when he finally had enough. He interrupted all of them loudly, "Shut up! Seriously, guys, I can't take it anymore, all right? Everyone just cut it out for a second. Look, I just helped my dad leave this island for good. Like, he's not ever coming back. He's straight up like the Spanish. Just, 'Bon voyage.'"

"That's not the right language," Sarah muttered as the rest of them furrowed their eyebrows at him because he said that it was Spanish, but 'Bon voyage' was french.

"We're all we got... And I know for a fact all I got is you guys, okay?" He looked at the brunette girl beside him with a faint smile. "You're it. And I've come too close to losing you, all of you. I mean, shit, like you almost drowned. Pope, you were kidnapped. Sarah, you've been shot. John B, you were almost dinner for a freaking gator, bro. So, this blaming each other is some Kook-ass bullshit, all right? We don't do that. Okay? We're Pogues." He finally finished, and after a second, everyone started clapping for him. Sorry, that was a lot right now. I didn't mean to... Yeah. All right."

Pope complimented, "Well-done."

"That was really moving, JJ," the Callaway girl agreed with a grin and a nod as she continued to clap her hands for the boy. Say what you want about JJ, but that was a really good speech.

"I gotta be honest. That was the best freaking speech you have ever given," the Routledge boy informed him with a smile. "Also, you should think about, like, a Rosetta Stone because your Spanish and French are flip-flopped."

As the blonde boy just rolled his eyes and flipped all of them off, Sarah joked, "We should bon voyage out of here."

"All right, let's get this damn Twinkie out of here."

"Okay, you're telling me Denmark Tanny decided to hide the cross here?" JJ questioned when they reached the ruins of the old church that Pope had pointed out on their way to the Angel Oak tree.

Pope just nodded in response, and Kie scanned the room quickly and suspiciously before ordering, "Everybody, just spread out."

As they all did as they were told, Bree ran her finger along on of the walls as if there would be something there that would give them a clue as to where the huge freaking cross was. The Routledge boy questioned, "Okay, well, if I was a cross and wanted to be hidden in an old church, where would I hide?"

"Are you sure that Denmark hid the cross here, Pope?" the Maybank boy asked as he spun around in the middle of the building, not really looking very closely. To be fair, there were not very many hiding places for a giant, shiny cross. The Callaway girl was sure that it had to be buried somewhere. "Like, are we at the right church?"

"It's gotta be here somewhere, guys," the Heyward boy mumbled to himself frantically, and even though she already knew this, Bree was reminded of how much this cross meant to him and his family. She could not let Limbrey take this from him.

"What if we have to push a secret button or, like, play, like, a... a certain chord, and then, all of a sudden, the ground beneath us reveals the catacombs or something on which we stand?" the blonde boy quizzed as he stood over an old and rotting piano in the corner.

The brunette girl shook her head at him as she scrunched her face up in confusion. She knew what he was talking about, but she wondered why he thought that would work. Just in case he was not already aware of the fact, she informed him, "It's not The Goonies."

"How about we try to find obvious clues?" the brunette boy asked him because the chances of them having to do some Indiana Jones shit to find it were really slim. He sighed, "I can't see where they'd hide a giant cross here."

"No, no. There's no way he would set us up on a freaking goose chase that would lead us to a church that has nothing. The clues led us here. The cross is in this church," the other boy insisted, running around before finally slumping down on one of the benches. Kie sat down next to him, hoping that her proximity would be enough to comfort him.

"Pope, it'll be all right," John B assured him. "We've had setbacks in the past, and we figured it out. We're gonna find it. We've just gotta think about this logically, all right? Where else would you hide a seven-foot-tall cross made of gold?"

Bree noticed that the Heyward boy had taken out the spyglass. He was staring up at something above him, and he put the spyglass back in his lap and squinted up at the same thing. She furrowed her eyebrows, glancing between him and the other Pogues to try and get their attention. She asked, "What?"

"Oh my God! Look at that," the Carrera girl exclaimed, and they all followed her gaze to see three huge wooden crosses that were held up by beams in the ceiling of the church.

"Holy shit," the Callaway girl murmured to herself. All of a sudden, Pope jumped up and ran over to one of the walls just below the beams. He stuck his hand in one of the holes in the wall and a foot in another. Then, he started to climb. Once they realized what he was doing, all of his friends below him started protesting. "Pope, this seems like an awful idea."

Kie nodded in agreement, calling up to him with a worried voice, "Pope, this church is old. Like really old. This isn't safe."

"Yo! This church's gotta be at least 200 years old."

"He's right. It's too dangerous."

JJ sighed as he watched Pope basically parkour to the beam that was hanging above his head. "Yo, let me just be real. You're not the most coordinated person on planet Earth. You hear me? What are you doing?"

"All right, this one's solid wood. I'm gonna try the other beam," the Heyward boy informed them after knocking on the cross that he was closest to. They would all hear that it was not hollow.

"Pope, that's rotten as shit right there, okay?" the blonde boy warned him, pointing to the spot of wood just below his feet as he carefully made his way over to the next cross. "Pope, I hate to break it to you, but that's wood."

As all of his friends' eyes widened when they noticed something above him, the Heyward boy, oblivious, shook his head and insisted. "No, no. It has to be here. I know it."

"Pope, just look out for that giant wasp nest right above your head," the Callaway girl let him know, gesturing to just above him where wasps were buzzing in and out of their nest.

"Hey, just... just move slow, all right?" the Routledge boy instructed him, and he was clearly more worried about the bees causing Pope to fall than his coordination skills causing him to do so. "Nice and easy, all right?"

Pope hopped over to the final cross and knocked on it. After one knock, all of them could hear that it was hollow. He exclaimed, "Look! It's hollow. Go get me a crowbar!"

"What are you gonna do, Pope? I don't want this entire church to collapse on top of us. That's all I'm saying," the blonde boy rambled on as the Cameron girl ran outside to get a crowbar from the Twinkie. Bree had no clue why there was a crowbar there, but they were lucky that there was."

"Sarah!" Pope shouted in relief when she same running back with the tool in hand. He reached out his arm toward her and ordered, "Throw it."

"Okay. Oh, for real?" she quizzed with raised eyebrows before taking a step back and tossing it up to him. They all covered their heads with their hands just in case he dropped it and it went plunging back down at them. However, it did not, and he caught it.

The brunette girl smiled at her blonde friend, impressed, "Not bad."

"Hey, Pope, Pope, there's the wasp nest right up there, okay?" the brunette reminded him, and the Heyward boy glanced up at the insects above him before getting started on prying the wood away to see what was inside the cross. "Just move slow, all right?"

He began to pry off the first piece, and before he was even done, something shiny reached their eyes as the sun bounced off of a shimmery surface. Sarah breathed out, "What is that?"

"Do you guys see that?" John B questioned, and a piece of the wood fell to the ground, revealing a bright gold object that was coated with gems, the light bouncing off of it.

The cross.

They all audibly gasped as their jaws dropped. Kie laughed out, "Holy shit."

"It's here. Oh my God."

"You did it, buddy."
