Episode Two (The Lucky Compass)
Part two

"I mean it is obvious right? A family heirloom. What better place to hide a message?" John B says still going on about the stupid compass. The compass that has been with every ancestor of his when they died. The compass that has put us through so much danger in two days.

"...he had to know it was going to get back to me , right? "

"Yeah it is possible." Kie says

"Could also be possible that you concocting wild theories to help, you know , deal with your sad feels." I tell him tired of the bullshit for the past 9 months.

"Anna?" He tries to stop me from talking.

"You know how I process my sad feels." JJ says "Dank bugs and the stickiest of the ickies. That how i do it."

"I am not concocting. Okay? My dad's trying to give me a message. " John B shouts

"If it helps you believe, John B." Kie comforts as I roll my eyes.

"Look i don't need a therapy session okay?"he says. "Look I am not tripping out?"

"It is okay to trip bro but." JJ says

"Look my Dad is missing okay? Missing." He looks at me. "You don't know what it is like to have the person closet to you vanish. And then have no idea what happened. Just wake up every morning wondering."

"I know John B but it has been almost a year." I tell him resting my head on JJ's shoulder.

"Hey he could have been kidnapped. That's definitely a possibility." JJ offers

"Yeah, could be on a Soviet sub getting interrogated by the KGB somewhere."

"Absolutely or Atlantis."

"JJ. Look. What do you think the message is?" I asks

"Redfeild" John B says not taking an eye off the road infront of him.

Redfeild lighthouse. I have shared some great memories up here. All of John B's birthdays were celebrated in the lighthouse. Everyday in 5th grade JJ and I snuck into the lighthouse when we supposed to be in school. I broke my arm when I tripped down the stairs when JJ and I got really High.

"Right he is what's going to happen." He points to JJ and I. "You're gonna post up and look out for bogeys , okay?"

"What? why us?" I ask

"Because you two arent going." Pope says.

"Why?" JJ complains

"Look you too their on independent and dependent variables. You guys? Independent. We don't know what the hell you will do." Pope says

"Shut up shut up." JJ yells

"That is not fair." I tell along with them.

"Listen to me for a second." John B yells. "Pope you can stay out with JJ and Anna. Okay? If we get split up we meet back at JJ's house" John B tells us.

"Great." Kie says and her and John B head to the light house.

"I'm going to work on my merit scholarship essay." Pope tells us "and I am trying to keep felonies down to a minimum. "

"Alright would you just shut up already."JJ says kicking some stupid ball he probably stole from a little kid.

"I cant believe it! You break your arm one damn time. And suddenly you loose all trust with you friends." I yell

"I remember that I was so high i thought you were still walking when you fell." He laughs and tosses me the ball.

"Here Pope" I throw it at ball at him. I look behind me and there are cops.
