LEILANI SAT IN CLASS, bored out of her mind - she twirled her hair, they were taking a quiz but she didn't really care and didn't know the answers anyways, jj turned to her mouthing one of the answers, leilani furrowed her eyebrows about to mouth back until, a man walked in.

" mr. sunn, can i borrow pope for a minute? " the man asked, all the pouges furrowing their eyebrows. " we're in the middle of a test. " mr. sunn responded, looking up to the guy. " i'm from the vanderhorst foundation. " the man informed. mr. sunn immediately turned to pope, " mr. heyward it's for you. "

pope stood up, leilani and jj furrowing their eyebrows at each other. soon after pope walked back in, he seemed a little surprised. he turned to the three showing something, leilani immediately looked up hoping it was answers but instead it was an envelop, leilani raised an eyebrow confused.

" is that the wheat symbol? " kiara asked, as leilani made a gasp realizing, pope nodded. " what the f— " jj started, the teacher turned to him. " what the fu..fu..fudge? " he said making leilani laugh.

the class soon ended, " is this a game of tag? " jj asked, the group was following pope, not knowing where he was going " i don't know " kiara shrugged, as the continued following pope. "am i gonna have to beat you with your protractor? " jj asked, as the librarian shushed him, leilani gave an amused smirk.

" okay, so that guy was from the scholarship committee. take a look at this, read it. " he gave jj the envelope, " out loud. " leilani added, they all waited for jj to start. " i can't read cursive.. " he admitted, his voice barley higher than a whisper, jj gave it to leilani as she shook her head with an amused smirk.

" dear mr. heyward, i am reaching out because i have material evidence that can exonerate john b routledge..." leilani, jj, and kiara all looked up as pope but he just signaled to continue. "...it is of vital importance that you come and meet with me in person at my offices at 27 king street, charleston at 8:00 pm. sharp tonight. " she read, " please come alone. " she added

" sounds like someone's getting kidnapped. " she turned to pope, jj nodding in agreement. ".. regards, c. limbrey. " she finished, " charleston? " jj repeated, lightly scoffing. " it's like an eight-hour drive, plus the ferry how will we get there tonight? " pope shrugged. " we'd have to leave right now. " jj informed.

" i have a free period. " kiara informed, " material evidence...what does that even mean? material evidence. " jj repeated, " it means he can clear john b! " kiara informed, " oh...then we're going to charleston. " jj nodded, raising his voice as the librarian turned to him, " i gotta tell my mom.. " kiara sighed.

" look, if we get it this time- " kiara got cut off, " -let's not give it to shoupe, he's probably eating a donut right now while rubbing his mustache not even thinking of testing the gun. " leilani finished. " definitely, a pink one. " jj added on.

pope searched something up, " what? " kiara raised an eyebrow. " i'm not sure, but i think whoever this limbrey person is, may be related to the caption of the royal merchant. " pope informed.

       LEILANI LEFT HER HOUSE, getting into jj truck. elliot quickly came out the house," where are you guys going? - i hope you're not renting out an apartment to have se- " he got cut off.

" no, no, no! " leilani shook her head, her cheeks a little rosy. " we're going to charleston " leilani informed.

" why? " elliot asked, visibly confused. " we're have proof to clear john b...and it's in charleston " leilani informed him, elliot rolled his eyes. " i thought we were over this. "

" over what? " leilani furrowed her eyebrows, " john b's dead...it doesn't matter if he did it or not. " elliot said as leilani and jj looked at each other.

" we're going. " leilani informed him, elliot rolled his eyes, " who else? " he asked, " just kiara and pope. " jj spoke up, " at least popes going.. " elliot said, before going inside the car.

" what are you doing? " leilani said, " well i'm not gonna let my baby sister go to charleston alone, start the car "
