"Red- Rout-" JJ struggled as he stared at the compass, eyes scanning the bronze with a questioning look.
Nova snickered as he struggled, twirling her red section of hair around her finger in amusement.
"It says Redfield." Kie interjected as the blonde continued to struggle.
He nodded quickly, "Right."
"Dyslexic bitch." Nova mumbled, the group all seeming to skip over her words.
"Okay, well, what's Redfield?" Kie asked them all, Pope shooting back,
"Besides the most common name in the county?"
John B rubbed his temples silently, speaking up, "Oh, maybe- maybe it's a clue, alright? Maybe it's a clue to where he's hiding."
JJ sighed out, "Okay..."
"A clue?" Pope said skeptically, "Come on, that's..."
Kie loudly cleared her throat, cutting the logical boy off of his questioning,
"But if it is a clue, maybe it's an anagram?"
John B shot up quickly, "Yes. Perfect. Anagram. You need paper."
John B pulled out a blank sheet, the group going over towards the paper in sync. Nova stayed behind though, walking quietly around the perimeter, she didn't really want to be involved.
She loved her dad, and she loved that this gave John B a sense of clarity, but she didn't like that the two had to become intertwined. She didn't want to mess with her dad's memory, she was afraid of what she would find out. Nova was always thinking, she didn't need another topic to add to it.
The rooster roared from the outside, catching the group's attention quickly, "How can you concentrate with that thing crowing at you?"
"JJ loved the rooster." John B protested Pope's statement, Kie speaking up as well,
"I love the rooster."
Pope ignored them, "Let me think."
JJ walked over towards Nova, he placed his hands on her shoulders and kneaded, she enjoyed when he did that. It made her feel seen, like someone understood what she was feeling before she even knew she was feeling it.
JJ did it when he saw that she was thinking too much, it was obvious when she did it. She twirled her hair, played with her rings, ran her thumb nail across her top lip, he knew exactly what she did when she needed someone to bring her back down to earth, and so he did.
