off into the sunset, living like there's nothing left to lose

Isis stands up and helps her mother do the same. Her legs are shaking, so she has to lean on the sink. They both tries to calm down. Only their deep breath can be heard.
A few minutes later, Isis looks at her mother. The latter seems still disturbed.
"What is wrong with this compass?" she asks.
"I don't know, I don't know anything! I don't want them to come back!" says Lana.
Isis understands that she's talking about these two scary guys.
"Why were they looking for it anyway?" she asks. "Does it has any value or something?"
"I don't know, I don't wanna know..."
"I do. And I will," replies Isis, voice shaking. "Mom, you can't stay here... Go to Amy's, and ask if you can stay for the night, or even more."
"Where are you going??" inquires Lana.
"To find some answers. I don't want to stay in here anyway, it's fucking oppressive... Mom, please, do as I say. Don't stay here on your own, okay?"
Lana nods. Isis kisses her forehead. She ties her jacket around her waist and walks out of the house.
Her heart is pounding as she gets on her bike. She rides to John B's house where she's sure to find her friends.
She leaves her bike in the dry grass in front of the Chateau and walks to the door. But they see her before she can enter. JJ runs forthwith to hug her. She winces.
"Aouch..."
"Fuck, I- I'm sorry, Iz..." he says examining her from every angle. "A-are you okay?? Shit, they really went all the way..." he hisses.
Isis sees his hands shaking. But she can't tell if it is from anger or fear.
JJ kicks in a tree, swearing.
Okay, definitly anger.
"Dude, calm down," says Pope. "I know you're mad, but..."
