"I mean it's obvious, right? A family heirloom. What better place to hide a message? He had to know it was going to get back to me right?" John B asked as he drove the van through the cut. The group was scattered through the back, Nova doing what she always did, smoking a joint. She between JJ's legs, her back against his chest as the two pass it back and forth periodically while they drove. Windows down with the air blowing through her dark hair.
"Yeah. It's possible." Kiara spoke up from next to Nova, grabbing the joint from her hand right before she took a hit, Kie quickly bringing it to her mouth.
"Hey." Nova mumbled in a high daze, grabbing it back quickly after.
Pope began to speak from the passengers, swinging the compass in the air as he talked, "It could also be possible that you're concocting wild theories to help, you know, deal with your sad feels."
"Pope-" John B tried to interject, JJ beginning instead.
"Bro you know how I process my sad feels. Dank nugs and the stickiest of ickies." He explained, "That's how I do it."
A giggle erupted from the brunette laying against him, he watched as she looked up at him, blowing the smoke in his face.
"I'm not concotting, okay?" John B reasoned, "My dad's trying to give me a message."
Kie shot him a somber smile, even though he couldn't see it, "If it helps you believe, John B.
"Look, I-I don't need a therapy session, okay?" the brunette boy stuttered, "Look I'm not trippin' out."
Nova sighed at his words, "I would love to be tripping right now, R.I.P. Nova's acid trips." The girl joked quietly.
JJ tickled her softly as he laughed at her words, smiling as she broke out into a fit of giggles.
"It's okay to trip bro, but-" The blonde reasoned, moving his hands back to Nova's hair, starting to mess with her iconic braid.
John B seemed to blow up at his words, craning his neck back to look at the group as he spoke with urgency, "Look, my-- my dad is missing, okay?"
"Missing." He repeated himself, "You don't know what it's like to have the person closest to you vanish. And then have no idea what happened. Just wake up every morning wondering."
Nova scoffed quietly from the back, "Did I like... die or?"
Normally Nova would be having a panic attack during this conversation, hating the serious tones and the tense voices. The way the air in the van felt heavy, and thick. But in her high state, she couldn't even process what was going on. This might make it easier to understand why she was so attached to her highs. Because right now instead of crying, she was giggling.
"It's been almost a year, John B." Kiara stated in her best sympathetic voice.
JJ budded in the conversation quickly, trying to make it a little happier in the van, "Hey, he could have been kidnapped. That's definitely a possibility."
Pope played along with him from the passengers, "Yeah, he could be in a Soviet Sub getting interrogated by the KGB somewhere."
JJ continued, "Absolutely, or uh... Atlantis."
"JJ." Kiara interrupted, "Look, what do you think the message is?"
"Redfield." John B answered.
Nova scoffed, "John B more specific. That's literally what was on the compass, not exactly a shocker."
Her brother rolled his eyes from the front, "Redfield lighthouse, dumbass."
Nova thought to herself, she recognized the name Redfield, she couldn't quite figure out where it was from.
"Wait," The brunette girl spoke up, "Wasn't that our grandmother's maiden name?"
Unfortunately the group was too caught up in their conversation in the front to pay attention to anything the stoned girl had to say.
She sighed and sunk further into JJ, the blonde quickly asking her what's wrong.
"No one," She breathed out heavily, "No one ever listens to me you know?"
He nodded at her, "I listen to you dummy." He replied, messing up her hair with his hand.
She exhaled in a huff, fixing her hair while she answered, "I know you do..."
"Just not enough."
