julia was at her mothers house on figure eight when she got a text from jj saying to meet at john b's. she got out of bed and quickly got ready before leaving her house.

by the time she got their, jj was waiting outside. "took your time, im gonna play a joke on him."

"oh shut up." julia rolled her eyes

jj shouted "DCS! i know you're in there!" as he jumped and banged on the window above where john b was lying. he started laughing "gotcha, slick. you should've seen you face."

julia couldn't help but laugh and roll her eyes at the boys stupidness. john b covered his face and stayed lying on the couch, not tempting to get up at all.

eventually, the three got into the twinky and jj brought up kie. "im just saying, i dont understand why you dont atleast try with kiara. she clearly likes you. shes like 'oh, john b.' shes sketching about you diving, then she kissed you."

"she kissed him on the cheek, j." julia rolled her eyes once again.

"its not like we were making out." john b shrugged as he drove

"low-hanging fruit, bro. don't pretend you dont notice. i see it in your eyes." the blonde pointed to his own eyes "you're like 'i kinda like that,' and you start blushing and shit."

the two siblings spoke at the same time "i blush?" "he blushes?" in which jj nodded to before picking up the compass. john b didn't like it and tried to snatch it from his hands. "hey, dont—"

"i was just looking at it." he spoke innocently before analysing it in his hand "i gotta admit, your fathers compass in scooters boat, thats freaky."

julia mumbled a little "you're freaky" as she sat back and continued reading her new book she was reading 'Twisted Love.' the girl blokced out the rest of the conversation between the two boys as she fell deep into the pages of the blue book.

the pages smelt fresh and it was completely untouched and brand new. julia loved the feeling of opening a new book and starting a new story. some may say its her favourite thing in the world.

as the drive went on, julia got to work and highlighted any sentence that she found appealing and interesting. the twinky came to a stop and john b got out along side jj. she decided to stay in the car and finish reading her book.

it wasnt long before the two boys returned. jj immediately called pope and kie and told them to get to john b's house. julia was about to question what had happened but she shook her head and kept reading.

————————

when the three arrived back at the house, pope and kie were say on the porch. julia sat next to pope and john b stood against the wall as jj re-enacted what had happened at lana's house.

"and all we hear is just, 'bam! bam! bam!' knocking paint off the wall, g! from the inside. all right? and im looking at him, like— wait, first off, look at this shit." he took stepped forwards and shook his hair as white stuff came out of it and landed on julias legs.

"ew, is that dandruff? you seriously need to wash your hair, j." she brushed off her legs as he stopped

"okay, thank you." pope said as he pushed his head away.

"look at all that. all right? thats paint. at that point, i was just, like... im waiting for death." the blonde looked like he had seen a ghost.

"oh, okay, so you saw the guys that shot at us, right?" pope asked

"yeah."

"did you get a good description of them? what they looked like?"

"anything." kie added

he thought for a moment. "burly."

"burly?" julia almost laughed

"yeah. you know, like—"

"thats not very helpful." kie sighed

"okay, well, no, like the type of guys at my dads garage. i mean, you guys inow he made cargo hides first drug smugglers." jj reminded

"yeah. yes. no, we know." kie sighed again

"i can tell you with full confidence, guys, these boys, these killers..." he leaned against the brick wall and hit is juul. "they're square groupers."

pope started to rock back and forth "they're square groupers, like narco square grouper? like pablo escobar square grouper?"

"yeah, man." he hit his juul again.

julia was tired and bored of the conversation that was going on. she gets up and takes her book with her "guys, ive got to head home bit text me."

everyone said their goodbyes to her and julia started to walk home, she soon noticed a black truck of some sort show up at the house. she debated whether to turn back and warn them or to just leave. julia realised she couldn't stand around and watch the people she loved potentially get injured.

she ran to the back of the house and silently banged on the window of her fathers office. she saw pope and jj try their hardest to lift the window that was painted shut, when they couldnt't kie started to chip away the paint.

all four of them joined julia on the otherside of the window and looked around to see where they could go. julia pointed towards the chicken coop and that's when the all ran towards it and hid inside.

the chickens kept making noise and it attracted the attention of one of the men. jj grabbed the chicken and broke its neck. kie let out silent sobs and julia darted him a look that said 'did you have to?'

the men drove off and everyone came out and went into the twinky to the lighthouse.

—————————

the five pogues got out of the twinky and looked out the redfield lighthouse infront of them.

john b turned towards the teens "right. you're gonna post up and look out for bogeys, okay?" he spoke as he walked to jj

"wait... why me?" jj had a look of disappointment on his face.

"because you're not coming." pope added

"why?" he asked again

"there are independent and dependent variables. you're independent. we dont know what you'll do" pope started but soon got shouted over by jj who repeated the words 'shut up.'

"listen to me for a second! pope, julia, you stand look out with jj, okay? if we get split up, we meet back at jj's house." john b ordered

"great." kie began to walk away towards the lighthouse.

"im gonna work on my merit scholarship essay, and im trying to keep felonies to a minimum." pope informed the two who were with him.

the blonde played with a rock as he kicked it in the air "all right, would you just shut up already?"

julia sat against the tree and read her book, occasionally tucking her hair behind her ear.
after about fifteen minutes, the three of them heard sirens. they immediately sprinted to the twinky and got in, not waiting for kie and john b. pope drove off the second the door closed.

————————

jj was smoking a joint whilst pope worked on some shit julia didnt know. john b pulled up in the twinky and signalled for them to get in.

julia closed her book and jumped up as she skipped to the twinky. the four began to drive to 'The Wreck' which was kie's parents restaurant.

pope went inside to get kie and as he came out he stood over the wooden banister and called out to the others "she says she's not coming..."

"why not?" jj asked before turning to john b "what did you do to her, john b?"

"shit." he mumbles under his breath "hang on, i'll deal with it." he got out the car and walked into the restaurant.

by the time they continued the journey, it was dark. the stars started to shine down and the moon reflected into the water like a crystal in the light.

"you mind if i just relax on this one? its been a long day, and a little of weird stuff's gone down. im just gonna lay low." jj rambled on before offering the joint to pope "oh, did you want a hit of this?"

pope put his hand infront of it "i keep the signal clear."

"dude, okay. do you understand that your problem is that you dont get creative? if you got creative the—"

"look, i— i know i was wrong about the lighthouse, all right? and wrong about everything else going on. but i— i was right about one thing. okay? my dad is trying to tell me something." john b interrupted but nobody spoke after him.

———————

the group of teens finally reached the cemetery. julia couldn't help but think it was quite spooky and felt like it was straight out of a movie.

john b went on with his long explanations for no reason on how he thought redfield was a place but it was a person. something he could've said in one small sentence.

he hovered the lamp light over the grave of olivia redfield routeledge, his and julias great-great-grandmother. the three boys tried to move the door when a snake jumped out the crack.

jj started barking and everyone tried to get him to shut up but he continued. kie got a boost and went through the hole in the tomb.
