Wait..what?

The next day I woke up with the question in my head. 'Why is that compass so important?' It was running through my mind all morning until I got a call from Sarah asking to hang out. I agreed and she said I could come over to her house.

Once I was ready to go I walked over. As I got to the entry, a red motorcycle zoomed past me, and parked in the driveway. The person got off and took off their helmet. Oh great. Just my luck. It's Rafe. He looked back at me and rolled his eyes. "What the fuck are you doing here?" he said annoyed. "Nothing that involves you, that's for sure." I mumbled. He scoffed and walked off. We were both heading to the door.

He got there first and when he did, he went in and then proceeded to shut the door in my face.
I sighed and then knocked on the door. After a bit Sarah came to the door. "Hey!" she exclaimed.
"Hey!" i said with a smile. "Let's go up to my room" said Sarah as she let me in. We walked up to her room and hung out in there.

~Hours later~

It was about 2 pm now, so I decided I should go home and clean up a bit. I said bye to Sarah and her parents since they were there, and I headed out. Once I got home, I tidied up the house and then sat in my living room to watch a movie.

Half way through the movie, my phone vibrated with a text from my dad. He said he wouldn't make it home until late at night today. He told me to just go to bed and not wait for him. I told him that its fine and to get home safe. I sighed and decided I should probably think of something to make some dinner.

I decided I would give Kie a call and maybe we could get some dinner later. She told me she was at the chateau and that I could come over. She said she was waiting for John B and JJ to return from a 'mission'. I told I would be there in about 10 minutes. I grabbed my bike and rode to the chateau.

When I got there, I went in and saw Kie on the couch outside on the patio. I joined her and soon after, John B and JJ showed up at the same time as Pope. John B had texted him to come here because it was urgent. JJ then started to talk pretty fast.

"And then we were right outside like this" said JJ as he moved to lean against the wall. "And all we hear is just 'BAM! BAM! BAM!' Knocking paint off the wall, G! From the inside. All right? And i'm just looking at him, like- Wait first off, look at this shit. Look at it"

"That's dandruff, disgusting" said Kie. I hid a giggle as JJ was walking around in front of us all, shaking his hair so we see the 'paint' "Look at all .that. All right? That's paint. At that point I was just like...I'm waiting for death." said JJ as we were all listening quietly. "Oh, okay, so you saw the guys that shot at us, right?" said Pope "Yeah" "Did you get a good description of them? What did they look like? Anything we could bring to like a police report maybe?"

"Yeah anything would help. Anything" said Kie.
There was a pause. "Burly." said JJ. I scrunched my eyebrows. "Burly?" said Pope. "Yeah. You know like-" said JJ "That's not very helpful" said Kie. "Okay, well, no, like the type of guy at my dad's garage. I mean you guys know he made cargo hides for drug smugglers"

They talked for a bit more until JJ suggested something about those men.

"These boys. These..killers...they're square groupers." said JJ. "They're square groupers, like the narco  square grouper? Like Pablo Escobar square grouper?" said Pope. "Yeah, man"

"You guys, not everything is a kingpin movie." said Kie slightly annoyed.

They kept talking about the guys and this lady named Ms. Lana? And then they talked about the compass.

"You could pawn it off for five bucks if you wanted to. No offense, John B. I know it's like- in your family-" started Pope before getting cut off. "The office." said John B. "My dad. My dads office. He always kept the office locket because he was worried about his competitors stealing his Royal Merchant research. We used to laugh at him all the time about it like he was actually gonna find it..but now that he's gone, I've just kinda..I just left it as he kept it." said John B as he made his way inside and we all followed him.
