After the beautiful moment the twins had shared, the group got in the Twinkie ready to follow John B on his next move. 

"I mean, it's obvious, right? A family heirloom. What better place to hide a message?" He said while tapping the steering wheel. "He had to know it was gonna get back to me, right?" 

Brizo opened her mouth. She was about to tell him that it finding the compass had just been a coincidence, but she didn't want to upset him after the fight they just had so she closed her mouth again. 

Pope gave her a little squeeze in her shoulder and smiled at the girl when she looked up to him. She was sitting in the van's floor, next to JJ. Pope was in one of the seats behind John B's seat while Kiara was in the passenger one. 

"Yeah. It's possible" Kiara nodded, also not wanting to bring down John B's hopes. 

"It could also be possible that you're concocting wild theories to help, you know, deal with your sad feels" Pope stated. Brizo smiled at the boy's words thanking him for saying out loud what she had been thinking this whole time. 

"Bro, you know how I process my sad feels. Dank nugs and the stickiest of ickies, that's how I do it" Brizo chuckled at JJ's response earning a wink from the boy. 

"I'm not concocting, okay?" He clearly hadn't been listening to himself lately. "Our dad's trying to give us a message" Brizo rubbed her forehead. John B was making it extremelly hard for her not to snap again. 

"If it helps you believe, John B" Kiara said softly. 

"Look, I-I don't need a therapy session, okay?" Brizo looked at her brother through the rearview mirror with one her eyebrows raised, are you serious? she seemed to ask him. "Look, I'm not tripping out" 

"It's okay to trip, bro, but-" JJ couldn't finish his sentence. 

"Look, my- my dad is missing, okay? Missing" Brizo sighed. 

JJ put his arm around her and she rested her head on his shoulder. The boy knew how tired she was of hearing her brother telling everyone that their father was alive. 

Big John was a great guy, everybody loved him. He was like a father for JJ, but they all knew he wasn't coming back. Everyone but John B. 

"You don't know what it's like to havethe person closest to you vanish and then have no idea what happened. Just wake up every morning wondering" 

"I know what it's like" Brizo whispered. 

"It's been almost a year..." Kie tried to reason with him. 

"Hey, he could have been kidnapped. That's definitely a possibility" JJ suggested, trying to cheer up the ambient. 

"Yeah, he could be in a Soviet sub getting interrogated by the KGB somewhere" Pope agreed.
