My Love//JJ MAYBANK

Compass

The boat behind us starts to catch speed when the HMS POGUE straightens out and we're going down the marsh as fast as we can.

"Hey guys, they're following us." Kie says.

"Shit." I whisper under my breath.

"Dude you gotta go faster." JJ tells John B since he's driving the boat.

"I'm going. I'm going." He shouts back slightly.

We drive through the marsh, trying to escape for about 35 seconds before I hear a shot ring out and im being tackled to the floor.

"What the hell? Jay what was that for?" I whisper-shout looking up at him.

"They're shooting at us." He simply says.
My eyes go wide with fear as I pet the words process what he just told me.

I turn to look at everyone else and flinch as another bullet gets shot.
"John B get down!" I yell.

Then I see Kiara standing up and walk to the front of the boat.
"Vee come here." Shd tells me.

I look up at JJ and smile apologetically. I push him away with most of my strength because he is trying to keep me down to protect me. Once I get free from his hold I walk over to Kiara and help her carry the fishing net to the back and throw it in the water.

The boys catch on it behind us and the shooting stops for a minute so I dont bother goimg back to the floor of the boat.
But, suddenly there is one more shot as were taking a turn and I feel a sharp pain in my thigh where I used to cut myself.

I look down and see a small line of blood trickling down my thighs. But this is important to John b so I'm not gonna make this about me and I'll fix it after we find out whats in the bag.

We dock the boat and everyone gets off the boat and onto the dock. I get off last and stand behind Pope in the back corner so they wouldn't notice.

"What do you guys think it is?" Kie asks excitedly.

"Gotta be money right?" I suggest trying to keep up my normal self.

"That or a couple of keys with street value to the low-to-mid- mils!" JJ adds hyping John B up.

"Could you just open the bag already?" Pope snaps looking at everyone in sorry once else all look at him.

"Wow Pope. Thats a rare outburst of emotion there." John b says.

"You okay Pope?" I ask.

"Okay. You guys are literally killing me with interpretation. Open the bag" he says hurriedly.

"Jeez" JJ mutters under his breath.

"We almost died over this." Pope continues.

John B opens up the black bag and inside is a silver bottle with something in it. He opens that too and tips it over, letting a compare fall out and into his hands.

"Oh wow. Yup thats about right." Pope sighs walking in circles.
"Good job everybody. We found a compass."

JJ takes of his hat and runs his fingers through his hair in stress before turning to John B noticing how he's been quiet the whole time.
"Dude what? It isn't worth anything."

"This was my dads." John B tells everyone, smiling.

Everyone looks around stressed and I just look down to watch the blood drip down my leg.

After a few seconds I feel eyes on me and I look up to see JJ staring at me with watered eyes. I go to open my mouth but before I can I hear him speak.
"WHAT THE FUCK?"
