[ JJ, STOP ]
"what do you guys think it is?" kei asked as the waited for john b to open the duffle bag on the small boat dock.
"it's gotta be money, right?" john b said.
"that or a couple of keys with street value to the low to midlands." jj said.
"can we please just open the bag?" pope shouted.
"wow, pope. that's a rare outburst of emotion."
"you guys are literally killing me with anticipation." pope said, "we almost died over this."
john b took the water proof tin out, opening it and a compass fell out.
"oh, wow. yep.. that's about right." pope said, "good job, everybody. we found a compass."
"dude, what?" jj asked after he noticed john b's fascination with the worthless hunk of metal. "it's not worth anything."
"this was my father's."

"so, what was that?" jj asked as he followed maya into her house.
"what was what?" maya asked, grabbing two beer cans from the fridge and handing one to him.
"on the boat." jj said, "you could've gotten shot."
"but i didn't.. and i saved us." maya said, hopping up on the counter. "what was that with you pulling me down by my waist?"
"i didn't want my best friend to get shot."
"your best friend?"
"yeah." jj answered skeptically.
"yeah, i guess that's all we are." maya said before taking another swig of her beer.
"what is that supposed to mean?" jj asked.
"i don't know, jj." maya said, rolling her eyes and running her hand through her beer. "what's up with you?"
"with me?" jj asked, "or do you mean you?"
"you're the one that shot a gun into the air yesterday, you suggested the diving today." maya said, "last night you were moaning in my ear and today you kept acting like i was the dumbest person you had ever met."
jj exhaled sharply, "i don't want to get into this right. not with everything else going on."
"with what going on? the fact that john b found his dad's compass? i'm pretty sure he wouldn't care if we tried to figure our bullshit out."
"what is there to figure out?" jj said, "pogues can't mack on other pogues. the others would kill us if they found out we had even kissed, let alone fucked."
"you don't have to say it like that." maya said, sitting her beer down and hopping of the counter.
"say it like how it is?" jj got closer to her, "that you've let me fuck you?"
