THE NEXT MORNING after discovering the lucky compass, the group was gathered at the Château after getting word from JJ and John B that they had news for them. They sat on the porch as JJ dramatically explained their encounter with Scooter's wife, Lana. They had headed to Lana's house to ask about the compass discovered from Scooter's boat.
"We were right outside like this." He demonstrated by pressing his back up against the brick wall of the house, "and all we hear is just, 'Bam, bam, bam!' Knocking paint off the wall, from the inside."
"All right, and I'm just looking at John B, like- wait, first off, look at this shit." He pauses the story and bends over and shakes the said paint from his hair.
"That's dandruff, disgusting."
"Look at all that. All right? That's paint. At that point, I was just like... I'm waiting for death."
"That's a little over dramatic-"
"Okay so you saw the guys that shot at us, right?" Pope interrupted.
"Did you get a good description of them? What did they look like. Anything we can bring to a police report?"
JJ stared off into the distance before answering, "Burly."
"Burly?"
"You know, like-"
"That's not very helpful." Gabbie sighed.
"Well, no, like the type of guy at my dad's garage. You guys know he made cargo hides for drug smugglers. So I can tell you with full confidence these boys, these killers," he took a hit from his cigarette for enfesence, "they're square groupers."
"Like narco square grouper? Like Pablo Escobar square grouper?"
"You're joking right? Nobody compares to Pablo Escobar-"
"You guys not everything is a kingpin movie." Kiara interrupted them.
"But what does this square grouper look like?"
"You weren't there bro-"
"And apparently you don't know what to look for." Pope exclaimed.
"Dude I wasn't taking little mental Polaroids the entire time. I was under duress, okay. But I can tell you by the way that Ms. Lana was screaming that these guys are serious, serious hombres, man."
John B popped open the compass, "Why do they want the compass?"
"It's a piece of shit you couldn't pawn it off for five bucks if you wanted to. No offense John B I know it's in your family-"
"The office."
"Huh?" Gabbie questioned, "What like the show-"
"No, my dad- my dad's office. He always kept the office locked because he was worried about his competitors stealing his Royal Merchant research. We used to laugh at him all the time like he was gonna find it." JB paused, "But now that he's gone, I've just kinda, I just left it as he kept it."
