"that's not gold." pope says to faye as she came out of the hole with a package that says 'for bird'

"holy shit, this is from my dad." john b says

"oh shit code red! square groupers!" jj whispered

"turn off the lights!" john b says

"it's the guys who robbed your house." jj told him

"he's got a gun." pope says

"oh hell no." faye said as she ran out of the cemetery

<><><><>

"that bread was moldy like three days ago, jj." faye tells him

"i'll just pull of the bad parts, plus mold is good for you. it's like a natural organism." jj explains

"jj, faye! let's go!" kie calls them

"yup, hot damn let's do it." jj says. "oh this is disgusting." he says spitting the sandwich he made out

"holy shit." john b said opening the package finding a map and tape recorder

"X marks the spot." pope says

what is that?" jj asked pointing to the tape recorder

"tape recorder." faye tells him

"dumbass." kie says

'dear bird,

i hate to say, 'I told you so,' but I told you so.
and you doubted your old man.
i suspect at this moment, you're filled with guilt and self-loathing over our last fight, but don't kill yourself just yet, kid.
i didn't expect to find the Merchant either

you were probably right to call me out.
wasn't exactly Father of the Decade.
what can i say, kid? i could smell the barn.
And hopefully, we're listenin' to this in our brand new sugar-shack down in Costa Rica, livin' off passive investments and pulling on permits.

if not, and you find this for less than optimal reasons, well, that's what the map is for.
there she is, the wreck of the Merchant.
if somethin' happens to me, finish what I started.
go for the gold, kid.
i love you, bird, even if i didn't always act like it.
i'll see you on the other side.' the tape recorder clicks. john b gets up and walks over by the door and silently cries

"holy shit he did it! big john found-" jj says

"not now, j." faye whispered to him

<><><><>

"how much was it again?" jj asked

"four hundred mil." john b said

"all right, let's talk about split. before we say 'evenly' i'm the only one who can properly defend us. protection? not cheap bro." jj explains

"you haven't done any training." pope tells him

"youtube, bro!" he says. "any objections? didn't think so."

"what are you gonna do with your 80 mil, pope?" faye asks

"pay for college in advance. oh and textbooks those are expensive." he says. "what about you, faye?"

"travel the world, get out of the here, you know? i've always wanted to go to the Bahamas." she explains. "kie?"

"yeah what does a socialist do when she's rich?" jj adds

"i just wanna make a double album, about the obx, the pogues. record at a marley studio, have peter tosh produce it." she explained

"peter tosh is dead though." pope told her
