We made it back to John B's place to see Kie and Pope sitting out on the porch waiting for us.
"Where did you guys go?" Pope asked standing with his arms out.
JJ jumped out of the van and began telling them all about what happened at Ms Lana's place. John B and I followed JJ sitting with Kie and Pope as JJ gave a full reenactment of our morning.
JJ runs over dramatically shaking his hair and showing all the paint that fell off the house into his hair.
" look at this shit. Look at it"
"That's dandruff, that's disgusting." Kie says looking over at JJ with disgust.
"Okay thank you." Pope says pushing JJ away.
"Look at all that. All right, that's paint." JJ says, looking at me for back up.
"Yeah it's in my hair too" I say and JJ gives me a small smile before dramatically looking up at Kie and Pope again. " At that point, i was just, like...... im waiting for death...." he leaves a long pause looking out into the distance.
"Oh, okay, so you saw the guys that shot at us, right?" Pope asks lifting his baseball cap to scratch his head.
"Yeah" i respond
Kie and Pope ask us if we got a good description of them. My mind goes blank, they were male sure and sounded tough like they could kill us in a heartbeat if they really wanted too.
"Burly" JJ speaks up. "You know like.." I say standing up and putting on the best tough-guy stance I can muster. My chest out, standing tall and wide.
"That's not very helpful Leah," Kie says, shaking her head.
"Okay, well, no, like the type of guys at my dad's garage. I mean, you guys know he made cargo hides for drug smugglers." JJ says
"Yeah. Yes. No, we know." Kie says leaning back in her chair releasing this is going in circles.
" I can tell you with full confidence, these boys, these killers... they're square groupers." JJ says taking a hit from his joint.
"They're square groupers, like narco square grouper? Like Pablo Escobar square grouper?" Pope asks him.
JJ takes another hit from his joint before he replies. "Yeah man"
"You guys, not everything is a kingpin movie." Kie integers trying to keep the boys on topic.
" What does this square grouper look like Specifically?" Pope questions Jj as he moves to the edge of his seat, turning his body to face JJ.
"You weren't there. Bro"JJ yells over top of Pope.
"You don't know what to look for." Pope yells back.
" Dude! I wasn't taking little mental Polaroids the entire time. I was under duress, okay?" JJ is now getting flustered and frustrated with Pope, his voice was getting high and squeaky. His hair is a mess and it is taking all my willpower not to reach up and fix it.
"But I can tell you... I can tell you by the way that Ms. Lana was screaming... that these guys are serious, serious hombres, man." JJ says walking back and standing beside me. I reach up, placing my hand on his leg slightly rubbing it to try and comfort him. He looks and smiles at me before sitting down next to me.
I look over to see John B flipping open the compass.
"It's a heavy vibe right now, okay? I'm not liking this very much." JJ says, looking at me as I brush his hair with my fingers.
"Okay, Why do they want the compass?" Kie questions.
"It's a piece of shit." Pope comments. "You couldn't pawn it off for five bucks if you wanted to. No offense John B I know it's in your family--"
