FEAR GRIPPED THE TEENS as they watched the men draw their guns, their intention clear.
they quickly took cover, desperately seeking safety from the hail of bullets.
in the midst of the chaos, you shoved the canister into a duffle bag and held it close to your chest, protecting it.
while jj shielded your body with his own to protect you.
"oh my god! we're gonna die!" pope shouted, bringing his hands to his head.
kie saw a fishing net in the boat and concocted an idea. she grabbed it and threw it in the water, which got stuck in the propellers of the other boat, making their boat stop completely.
as the hms pogue raced away, the sound of gunfire slowly faded into the distance.
due to kie's critical thinking, the teens were able to escape the dangerous situation unscathed.
you returned to the docks near the chateau, stepping out of the boat. everyone gathered around the duffel bag, eager to see what was inside the mysterious silver tube.
"what do you think it is?" kie asked.
"gotta be money, right?" john guessed.
"that or a couple of keys with street value to the low to mid-mils!" jj said with a big, toothy smile. "what do you think it is, (name)?"
"uh, probably a map?" you shrugged. "i don't know. it looks like it."
"can we please just open the bag?!" pope blurted out impatiently.
everyone was taken aback.
"wow, pope. that's a rare outburst of emotion." john b mused.
"okay, you guys are literally killing me with anticipation. we almost died over this."
you proceeded to unzip the bag and brought out the canister. you gave it to john b, giving him the honors of opening it.
he twisted the top open, struggling a bit since it was sealed quite tight, and slid out its contents. it wasn't money or keys or a map. it was just a rusty, old compass.
"good job, everybody. we found a compass." pope huffed, flailing his arms.
the rest of the teens, excluding you and john b, let out noises of disappointment.
"hey, john b, are you okay?" you asked as john b was staring holes into the compass.
"dude, what? it's not worth anything." jj said, quick to judge.
"this was my father's." john b breathed out.
you saw jj, kie and pope with shocked looks on their faces. you blinked in confusion, unsure what exactly was happening and how the compass and everything was linked to john b's father.
