Hey queens! LETS GET INTO IT! IM TRYNNA FINISH THIS SHIT BEFORE SEASON 3

Luckily Pope rolled out of the way before the cross could crush him.

"Pope, are you okay?" I ask him.

"Hey, you good." JJ runs over to him.

"Yeah, I'm good. Just give me, like, one seconds to catch my breath." Pope breathes.

"You did it, Pope." John B says.

"Wow." We all admire the cross.

"Pope, she's... she's beautiful." JJ says touching the cross.

"I've never seen anything like it." Sarah says in awe.

"The detail's insane."

"We'll, here's why Limbrey wanted that key so bad." John B runs his fingers along one of the markings.

"Whoa. Good find." JJ congratulates.

"How much do you think it's worth?" I ask.

"Yeah, like, if we melted her old bones down, dude, I'm talking like high billions." JJ says.

"This belongs in a museum." John B tells him.

"What? Ask no one sees her?"

"In a museum everyone sees it."

"Are you kidding?"

"Hey! It's my ancestors' cross!" Pope interrupts.

"Right, okay: Alright. Well..." JJ stops arguing.

"This is bigger than money, and the worlds gotta know the truth."

"Yes." John B agrees. "And if we don't get this shit outta here before Limbrey gets here,nobody's gonna know. So saddle up."

"It's heavy." JJ says. "Wait. Hold on. John B, you're gonna pull, pull down."

"Alright. I'm gonna pull down you guys pull up. Ready? One, two, three."

We all pull and lift the cross.

"Watch your foot." JJ tells me.

"Oh my god!" Sarah says.

"Who's... who's not lifting right now? Sarah, are you seriously-" JJ asks.

"I'm lifting!" Sarah yells at him.

"It doesn't feel like it!"

"Move forward!" I say, sick of holding the heavy cross.

"Okay, guys. I can't. I can't." Pope says dropping the cross.

"No, no, no, Pope!" Kie yells.

"Hang on!"

Pope lets go and we all drop the cross.

"Damn it, Em! You almost dropped it on my foot.!" JJ yells at me.

"Cause I'm the only one lifting it!" I yell back.

"Oh, you-"

"Okay, okay!" John B interrupts us. "Listen, we'll make a sling, like a little..."

"Yeah, yeah, and then we'll put it on the tail hitch." JJ says as I notice Pope breathing strangely.

"Guys! Guys, I'm not okay. I'm not okay." Pope says laying down.

"Your eye." I say.

"Yeah, it looks all puffy." Sarah walks over.

"You good? You don't look too good, bro." JJ puts his hand on Pope's shoulder.

"I can't-" Pope starts gasping.
