"What..."

"Okay, slaves weren't mentioned as crew members on the ship, but my dad, he found the complete manifest. That was his big discovery." He explained, and Stella couldn't help but be reminded of the episode of Always Sunny where Charlie attempts to explain his conspiracy theory behind the mail room. "So Tanny used the gold from the merchant to buy his freedom and after that he bought a farm. Drum roll please!"

They all slapped their knees repeatedly.

"Because that farm is... Tannyhill Plantation."

"Tannyhill?!" Kiara gasped.

"Yeah! So, after that, he uses his money to free even more slaves and then he sold a shit ton of rice which pisses off all the white planters and then..." He paused for dramatic effect. "They decide to lynch him."

Stella's brows shot up. "Fuck."

JB continued. "So on the day they where coming, he writes a letter to his son as a farewell, and in the last line of that letter he leaves a coded message about where to find the gold."

Kiara hung on to every word with the excitement of a young child being read a action packed story. "Where?"

"Harvest the wheat in parcel nine near the water." The brunette boy told them. "Except there was no wheat. You see, wheat is code for gold! Check this out..."

He walked over to Pope who was now holding the evidence that he had brought with him and began to explain something, but Stella leaned against JJ. "Where the hell has he managed to find out all of this from? Is this why he's been missing for a day?"

The blonde boy chuckled. "Oh, you're gonna love that part of the story."

"All we need is an original survey map of the property and we've found the gold!" John B exclaimed.

"Okay, so, this might have a small chance of being true—"

"It must be fool proof if you're agreeing." She commented, moving to root around JJ's backpack for a pack of smokes whilst he stood up and went to pick John B up who was stating how clever he was.

Pope sent her a quick glare before speaking once more. "Okay, so guys, what's the plan?"

"Yeah, I have a question." Stella pulled a stick from the packet, placed it between her lips and lit it. "This survey map, where you gonna get it? What does it even look like?"

"Okay, good question." John B pointed his finger at her. "Sarah Cameron is coming tonight, she's going to bring the original survey map—"

Bingo.

Stella couldn't help the little bubble of evil laughter that escaped her throat briefly as it soon all clicked into place, whilst a look of horror crossed Kiara's features. "Hold on," she said. "Sarah? W-why Sarah?"

"Um..."

JJ came to stand behind her. "This is going to be good."

"Don't spoil the show, Jay."

JB had his hands on his hips, eyes averted down to the floor. "Sarah, um, she— she got me into the archives in Chapel Hill yesterday, and that's where I got the letter."

"You where in Chapel Hill with Sarah Cameron?" Kie's question radiated anger as she stood up.

"Yeah, um—"

And then it clicked.

"Oh my fucking god!" Stella yelled before she doubled over like a broken deck chair, crying with laughter. Her cigarette now laid abandoned on the floor as she struggled to catch her breath. "Oh my fucking god, you where totally mackin' on Sarah Cameron! Sarah fucking Cameron!"
