chapter ten

The Pogues remained silent until they got back to The Château. None of them wanted to comment what had just happened.

On the other hand, they all wanted to know what was inside the bag John B had found inside the boat.

"What do you think it is?" Kie asked as they all gathered around the bag.

"Gotta be money, right?" John B said

"That or a couple of keys with a street value to the low mild-Mils" JJ said excitedly

"I vote for cash" Blake agreed with John B

"Can we please just open the bag?" Pope asked his friends frustrated making all of them look at him surprised

"Wow Pope, that's a rare outburst of emotion" John B said making the rest laugh

"You guys are killing me with anticipation" Pope told them

John B then carefully opened the bag, but instead of finding money they found another bag like in those lame birthday pranks.

Opening the other bag they only found a small golden thing, an old compass.

"Yup, that's about right" Pope groaned "Good job everybody, we found a compass" Obviously Pope didn't like the fact that they literally risked their lives for just a compass

While Pope complained Blake noticed John B examining the compass in detail.

"What's wrong?" She asked him

"This is my father's" John B stated making all the Pogues look at him.

Oh shit.

"How did it end up there?" Blake wondered looking at John B

"I have no idea" He replied still looking at the compass, that probably unlocked a lot of memories

They all stayed silent for a few moments not knowing what to say. John B had just found a clue to where his father was.

"So, we are not going to talk about the fact that some sketchy men almost killed us?" Pope asked trying to change the topic

"Yeah, that was scary" Kie nodded at him

"At least we could see that I'm not the only freak with the gun of this group" JJ scoffed making Blake glare at him.

He didn't say that, did he?

"Okay, I'm out of here" Kie said stood up when she saw the look on Blake's face.

Shit was about to go down.

"I'll go with you" Pope stood up quickly and joined Kie.

No one wanted to watch a fight between JJ and Blake, they would end up involved if they stayed there.

After Kie and Pope left to their homes and John B went inside The Château to keep looking at the compass only JJ and Blake were left at the deck.

"What did you just say to me?" Blake asked him crossing her arms

"You shot that guy! What the hell is going on in your head?" He exclaimed

"I was trying to save all of our asses and hey! I did it. You're welcome, J" she said sarcastically

"You stopped talking to me when I fired the gun into the air! You acted like as if I am fucking crazy and then you shot a man" He told her "Make that make sense!
