a/n: kinda scared about the number of reads this is getting at the moment but umm enjoy August get more comfy hanging out with the pogues and as she learns about the gold! also trying to keep the timeline kinda making sense but this story kinda jumps in during the middle of season one so it can get confusing but this chapter will follow scenes from episode two and since august is hanging with the others more the timeline will feel more cohesive.
August had found herself sprawled out on John B's pullout couch the next morning wearing only a borrowed pair of Kie's shorts and an old tee shirt she must have left at the chateau two summers ago. The blonde girl began to feel the effects of a hangover and tried to think about what happened the night before. But couldn't.
All she knew was that in the midst of the world's worst breakdown she had somehow ended up on the wrong side of the island. Spending the night in the run down house of her old friend.
August looked up when she started to hear voices from the other side of the wall on the front porch.
Kie's muffled voice was the first August heard, "Why do they want the compass?"
"You couldn't pawn it off for five bucks if you wanted to." Pope agreed.
'What on earth are they talking about?'
August stumbled out from under her covers and glanced up at the time, 2:30? Damn she really slept in. She made her way to the front porch where all of the pogues sat in a heated discussion. None of them even noticed the blonde girl's presence and John B was talking loudly to the group.
"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 like he was gonna find it. But now that he's gone, I've just kinda...I just left it as he kept it."
August decided to speak up, "Yeah JB, for when he gets back"
All of them stopped and froze when they finally noticed August. She was confused when she saw the terrified looks on all of the pogues faces. She looked back up at the group, "What like did you not want me to know or something?"
