S1:C2 The Lucky Compass

Nate got on his bike, and headed to John B's , eventually he arrived and got of his bike, finding his brother and friends on the patio all talking he jogged up the short steps joining the group.

"Hey," he said quietly as John B started at the compass in his hand.

"Hey, bro." JJ patted him on his shoulder as he paced the patio.

"Why would they want the compass?" Kiara asked as she watched JJ pace the patio.

"It's a piece of shit," Pope sighed.

"What did I miss?" Nate asked leaning against the chipped white railing of the patio.

"Some guys were attacking Miss Lana, the same guys that shoot at us," JJ explained while the other three continued to talk.

"Damn." Nate quietly said.

"The office," John B announced, walking between Pope and Kiara heading inside the house.

The teens all followed John B into his house as he rambled on about his dad and his office.

The group stood outside the office, "I've just kinda left it as he kept it," John B said quietly as he stopped in front of the door that had been locked for months, pulling out a key to unlock the door.

"Yeah for when he gets back," Kiara said trying to comfort John B. The four teens behind John B shared a look of cautiousness as John B unlocked the door.

"I've spent the night here like 600 times and I've never seen this door opened," Pope said as John B pushed the door open and the teens followed him in.

They all started to look at the random papers all over the office and John B spoke up.

"Here look," John B announced setting down a cork board full of pictures and labels.

Nate was standing next to Kie as they all looked at the board.

"This is the original owner," John B pointed at a picture, "Right here"

"There's the lucky compass," Nate pointed at the picture, "Right there" Kiara smiled at the youngest Maybank.

"Actually, um," John B looked up at Nate. "He was shot after he bought it"

"Damn," Nate ran his hands through his hair.

"Then the compass was shipped back to Henry," John B pointed at a picture under the last picture, "He was killed in a crop-dusting accident when he had the compass"

JJ and Nate shared a look of concern across the table as John B continued to explain more deaths of the people who had previously owned the compass.

"Sounds like there's a reoccurring theme here," JJ pointed out.

"Yeah, you have a death compass," Pope said.

"I do not," John B said in defense.

"You kinda do," Nate said.

"Get rid of it," JJ pushed, "It's cursed and it made its way back to you"

John B walked away from the desk, Kiara following him. "Look, my dad used to talk about this compartment in here," John B took a seat, compass in hand, "Solders used to hide secret notes"

Kiara leaned on the desk beside John B, watching him twist the compass open. Nate was stood next to JJ who was leaning on the desk in the middle of the room.

"What's that?" Kiara asked stating at the compass.

"This is my dad's handwriting"

"How can you know that?" Pope asked skeptically.
