When Wrong becomes Right

Chapter 8

"DCS I know you're in there" I heard someone shout from outside John B's door. We both poked our heads up and looked at each other.

We turned to the window, as goldilocks jumped and scared the shit out of us both. "shit. "I said, as he proceeded to laugh his ass off. I rubbed my eyes, as he walked in.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I don't see why you don't at least try with Kiara, I mean she totally likes you, I mean she's like 'Oh John B," The blonde beauty said from the front seat, trying to sound like our best friend Kie. 

I climbed from my space in the back and sat in between the front seats.

"That what she says?" John B asked. "If I crash your flying through that window." He said, pointing to me. "Then don't crash," I replied.

"Like she freaked out about you diving, and then she kissed you, bro," JJ said

"She kissed me on the cheek, it's not like we were making out or something."

"Don't act like you don't see it. I can see it in your eyes, you're like 'I kinda like that and you start blushing and shit." 

"I blush?"

"Yeah."

Blondie reached up and grabbed the compass from the dashboard, John B trying to take it from him. "I'm just looking at it." He said. "I gotta admit. Your dad's compass, in Scooters boat, is kinda freaky." I said to John B, looking at the compass in the blonde boy's hand. "Yeah" JJ agreed. "that's why we're going to talk to Ms. Lana, to figure this whole thing out." John B said to us. "Yeah I'm sure she would love to talk to us, it's not like her husband just drowned or anything," JJ said.

We got out of the van, and JJ said "You know what this house looks like? The person who lives here smokes too much weed."

We walked up to the house and heard things breaking. "Maybe we should come back, it might be too soon." JJ said. "dude shut up." John B said, all of us quietly moving to the house.

We heard guys screaming, a woman who was obviously scared, and a whole lot of things breaking. "Oh, shit," I said to myself.

John B and I snuck up to a window, and JJ jumped behind us and pulled us down. "Still think we should stay?" JJ asked. "Shut up." John B said. As more stuff broke, I could tell JJ was slightly freaking out. I looked into his eyes, and intertwined our fingers, giving him a small smile. I figured his little freakout, was dad-related. It took him a second, but he soon wrapped his fingers around mine as well. The house shook some more, and paint fell onto our heads. "Is that paint?" JJ asked. "Yes, it's paint." John B said, all 3 of us brushing it out of our hair.

We watched as they left, JJ saying something about smugglers. They got into their boat, which was identical to the one from yesterday. "Dude those are the guys that shot at us!" JJ said. We stayed against the wall, me and JJ's hands still together, as we watched them leave.

We ran inside and saw everything in the house thrown around, and Ms. Lana on the floor. "Hey! Ms. Lana, do you need a doctor?" John B asked, running up to her. She flinched when he touched her. "dude we should leave she's tweakin." Blondie said. I left JJ's grip, my hand missing the feeling of his, and ran up to the poor woman lying on her bathroom floor. "Let's call the sheriff's department." John B said to me. "no no no cops please." She said. "Mm, that's not good," JJ said, trying to get me and John B away from her. "You shouldn't be here." She said, looking at us. "That's enough for me," JJ said, trying once again to get us away from her.

"What do you know about these guys?" I asked her.

"They were looking for something." She said.

"Does it have anything to do with this?" John B asked, pulling the compass out of his back pocket, and her face dropped. "This was my father's, and Scooter had it. Why?" John B asked. "Scooter didn't have it. Don't let anyone know you have that. No one can know you have it, you have to get out of here!" She said. I stood up, and went next to JJ, as he pulled John B away from the hysterical woman.

Blondie stood against John B's chimney on the porch, explaining everything to the others. I was pretty zoned out the whole time. Something about them seems so... familiar.

"I wasn't taking little mental polaroids the entire time man, I was under duress," JJ shouted at them. "One was maybe 6'3, the other 5'11 ish." I quietly said. "See that's something," Pope said, point to me.

"But I can tell you, by the way, Ms. Lana was screaming, these guys, their serious serious hombres man," Blondie said, before I stood up, grabbing the vape out of his hand and hitting it. "It's a heavy vibe right now, I'm not liking this," JJ said, taking the vape back. "Okay, but why would they want the compass?" Kie questioned the group. "I mean it's a piece of shit, you could pawn it off for 5 bucks if you wanted, no offense John B I know it's like in your family," Pope said. "The office." The brunette said. "Yeah," I said, under my breath, before taking JJ's vape and hitting it a final time.
