Adria watches as a woman, Lana Grubbs, runs up to a lifeless man on a gurney with tears in her eyes. Adria shakes her head looking away from the scene, glancing at the others.

"who's that" John B questions making Adria look to him.

"It's Scooter Grubbs. He was out during the storm, check out this pic I got" the girl shows her phone to the group Adria's face contorts "dead body" the girl practically sang out.

she looks away from the phone picking at her nails, which was always a nervous habit she always had "what kind of boat did he have?" JJ questioned.

"somehow that dirtbag copped a brand new Grady White, everyone's out looking for it" the girl states.

The group shares a look before Adria looked back at Scooter Grubbs as the wheel him away.

──⇌••⇋──

Pope runs through the screen door onto the deck of the Chateau "Okay, so, um . . . We didn't see anything, we don't know anything, we need to have total and complete amnesia " he finishes taking a seat beside Adria and Kiara on the couch.

"actually, Pope's right for once" JJ points to him "see, I agree with you, sometimes . . Deny, Deny, Deny "

"Guys we can't keep that money" Kie spoke up from the couch.

JJ throws his head back "Okay, not all of us can afford unlimited data plans, Kiara" his eyes landing on her then glancing to Adria.

"We have to pass that off to Lana Grubbs, otherwise it's bad karma" the curly haired girl gives them all a stern look as she raises her hands.

Pope looks up from the ground "Bad karma to be implicated in a felony too, we gotta go dark"

"if that means we get to keep the money I agree" JJ walks up beside John B.

He looks at his best friend patting his arm "I don't agree"

JJ looks at him with furrowed brows "what, why?" he questions

"Just think about it, this is Scooter Grubbs we're talking about, right? Same dude that's buying individual cigarettes at porthole. Shit, one time I saw this dude begging for change in the save-A-Lot parking lot because he needed gas, We're talking about a dirtbag marina rat who's never had more than 40 bucks in his pocket, and all of a sudden he's got a Grady White ?" John B shrugs with his hands up "just saying"

. . .

The Pogues were now down at the dock that led out from John B's backyard. Pope casted his line into the water while John B sat on the wooden fence "All right, so think about it Pope. How does a Marina rat get a Grady White"

Pope inhales sharply "Prostitution" Adria snorts at his comment.

John B drops his head before looking back up to Pope "Square Groupers, bro Okay, Flying under the radar, no aerial surveillance, they don't do that stuff during a hurricane what does that mean, JJ" he glances over his shoulder to the blonde.

"they were straight smugglin' ​​​​​" he answers.

"Smugglin' ​​​​​​" John B repeats looking back at Pope.

Kiara and Adria share a look from their spot on the fence "and I guarantee there's a serious amount of contraband in that wreck" John B continues

"hell yeah" JJ adds before he began to real in his line "fish on!"

. . .

The Pogues had switched their scenery again as they were now inside the Chateau continuing to debate about what to do with the money.

Pope grabbed the cash from JJ's hand "for the record, if that is a smuggling ship, with illegal contraband on the inside of it" Adria nods as he continues talking "it probably belongs to some one else"

"Minor details" Kiara spoke

Pope's gaze fell on her "which means they could come looking for it, taking it would be catastrophically stupid "

"Or" Adria trails off grabbing the money "They won't come looking for it" she shrugs.

JJ takes the cash back from Adria, causing her to give him a look "right well, stupid things have good outcomes all the time" he spreads out the cash in his hands.

Adria chuckles at his saying, did she think it was stupid, yes but, yet again it was a good way to justify doing something dumb- well in JJ's mind.

"all we need to do is figure out a way to get into the cargo hold of that wreck until then we just lay low. Just act normal" JJ continues as he leans back in the window sill.

Pope sighs "right. And exactly how do we do that?"

A smile grows on Adria's face "Kegger?" she shrugs.

──⇌••⇋──

Adria wandered around the boneyard as she tried to contain her laughter from hearing what Pope had just said to a girl as she takes a sip from her beer.

her gaze shifting towards Kie as she walked up to her and linked arms, the talked about whatever they could think of that they haven't already told each other.

the pair laughed as they walked up to John B, Kiara's face falling quickly "what is she doing here?"

Adria followed her gaze to see Sarah Cameron, Adria didn't really have a problem with Sarah but they weren't really close anyways when Kiara and Sarah were friends. And from what Adria could remember that was the longest her and Kie weren't stuck at the hip, seeing as Adria didn't really know anybody from just moving down here.

Adria almost felt slightly left out but she wasn't going to say anything, it was Kiara's friend- best friend so she just started to fly solo when they weren't at school. But she was kind of grateful because that's when she wondered down to the beach and met the Pogues which turned into some surfing bet between her and JJ.

"Huh" John B looked over his shoulder to her then looked forward seeing Sarah, Kiara rolled her eyes as she began to walk away.

Adria gave John B a tight lipped smile before following after the girl. A hand took ahold of her own.

Adria's gaze falls onto the blonde Pogue, a smile falling on her face before JJ pulled her towards him before draping his arm over her shoulders.

"Maybank" She spoke with a smile looking at the boy.

"Monroe" He retorts glancing at the girl.

Adria looks around in pretend confusion "oh my god, JJ Maybank is standing in front of me without some tourist he's trying to score with?"

JJ smirks at the girl, before running  his tongue across his teeth "Yeah, yeah. Make your jokes, Drea"

Adria chuckles, shaking her head as it fell forward, the two walk along the beach. JJ's eyes scan across the girl, a small smile falling on his face. JJ wouldn't deny Adria was beautiful and he was silently cursing John B for what he had said earlier that day that continued to rattle in his head.

Sure JJ had flirted with her before but it was almost like a joke between the pair flirting back and forth with each other but JJ never really thought anything from it, he didn't think Adria would either but those stupid words 'what about that door' had been screwing with him all day.

Adria's eyes meet his her brows cinching together "Why are you looking at me like that?"

JJ's brows raise as he shrugs "Like what?"

Adria scoffed as she jokingly shoved him away with a roll of her eyes "Okay, Maybank Go find one of your tourist to hook up with" she salutes him before walking off, the smile never leaving her face.

As the day went on Adria and Kie joked around on the beach wide smiles on their faces the two trying to come up with a tattoo idea the pair could get together, while Kiara did everything in her power to keep her distance away from Sarah, Adria couldn't believe how quickly the day had went by as the moon replaced the sun.

She looked up at the star filled sky, the moonlight being the only light source available for the many teens who still remained on the beach.

Adria's eyes land on JJ and John B as they were talking to Sarah and Topper, she begins to walk over to them having a bad feeling about it. Usually when Kooks and Pogues 'talk' it doesn't seem to end well.

"Oh come on, is it not fancy enough for you?" JJ's voice was heard

"No, we were just leaving" Sarah spoke

"hey, you know what, I'll Take it" Topper reached his hand out "I'll take it, thank you, man, appreciate it"

JJ pulled the drink back "That's nice, but I didn't ask you , now if you said pretty please maybe, but you didn't" he shrugs

"JJ" Adria warned coming up beside the Pogue.

Topper tilts his "oh, pretty please, Pretty please"

"yeah, Sarah you can have it" JJ reaches the red solo cup towards her.

The conversation quickly took a turn as Topper smacked the beer out of his hand, the beer splattering onto JJ "she doesn't want it you-"

JJ grabbed ahold of Topper by his shirt but John B was quick to break the pair up as he tries to calm JJ down which quickly backfired when Topper made a comment

"Dirty Pogues!"

John B spun on his heels as he lunged at Topper giving him a harsh shove. Adria takes ahold of JJ's arm trying to keep the boy from jumping into the fight along with Pope who had came up to help.

There was one thing Adria quickly learned when she moved to The Outer Banks, Kooks and Pogues will never be able to get along, especially if they can barley co-exist with each other.

"John B we're supposed to be incognito, remember ?" Pope glanced to him with a raised brow, panic in his tone.

Sarah walks up to Topper "babe, babe, babe, babe!"

Topper throws a punch right across John B's face knocking him on the ground Topper walks up to him Kicking him in the gut.

John B rolls into the water as Topper chuckled "Hey John B, don't make me drown you like your old man, alright?"

Adria couldn't believe what she just heard as she glanced over her shoulder, her gaze hardening on Topper as he was about to send another kick to John B's stomach Adria ran towards him sending a harsh shove to Toppers chest as he stumbled back before her fist collided with his cheek.

Topper regained his balance, his hand on the side of his face as he looked at her with anger.

Kiara quickly ran up to her cousin and grabbing ahold of her arm dragging her away "Jesus, Drea" she muttered

Adria shook her hand as she grimaces slightly, Topper glared at her but not for long as John B tackles him onto the ground, The water splashing as he did so.

While people in the crowd cheered fight, one boy yelled give it to him.

"John B, let it go!" Pope hollered at him.

"stop you guys!" Kie yelled as well.

John B and Topper continued to fight throwing punches at each other "Topper stop!" Sarah yelled at her boyfriend.

The two break apart as they begin to walk around in a circle hands raised in a fist as the crowd continued to yell Fight! repeatedly John B threw the first punch "Come on!"

Topper's brows raised "yeah, you wanna go?" Topper threw a punch causing John b to stumble back into the water.

Kiara took a step forward "Stop! John B!"

Topper went to throw another punch but John B dodged it and hit him in the stomach.

Topper lunged at him but John B swiftly wraps his arms around him before throwing him to the shallow water.

"Come on Topper!" John B hollered at him "let's go"

Topper got back up and went to throw a punch but John B blocked it and hit him the brunette went to punch him again but Topper grabbed his arm hitting him across the face

"come on, man" Topper waved him over. John B ran at him

Topper grabbed ahold of him tossing him onto the ground flipping him over as he holds John B's head under the water. Adria's eyes widen as the worry begins to sink in for her friend.

"Topper! Topper stop! No!" Sarah yelled at her boyfriend.

"he's drowning him" Pope muttered Adria's heart raced her eyes not being able to look away from the scene but her feet not able to move as well. She was frozen, whether it was in fear or shock Adria was frozen.

JJ ran up to Topper as he pressed the gun to the back of his head, Topper's eyes widening as JJ clicks off the safety "yeah, you know what that is, you're move broski"

the crowd scattered after seeing the gun, some hollering that JJ had one as everyone began to flee.

"Come on, Chill!" Pope yelled at him.

"JJ stop" Sarah spoke "put the gun down"

"did you say something princess?" JJ briefly glanced to her.

Topper raised his hands "we're good, we're good, alright come on man"

"Kie can you check you're psycho friend, please!" Sarah turned to the girl.

Adria scoffed "your boyfriend was drowning John B" she snapped back "so who's really psycho?"

"Alright listen up!" JJ's voice gained Adria's attention.

"Get the hell of our side of the island!" he fired two shots in the air as the crowd gasps and shrieking, People quickly running to get off the beach.

"are you crazy!" Pope shoved him "you idiot , why would you do that!"

JJ shoved him back "I was saving his life, okay?" Adria ran a hand through her hair, her eyes closing briefly.

"Stupid, you're gonna jeopardize everything!" Pope yelled at him

"Guys stop!" Adria shouts as she holds her hands up before pinching the bridge of her nose.

Adria's head snapped towards John B as he struggled to keep his eyes open before he fell back into the water.

Adria quickly made her way towards the water gaining their attention as they rushed towards their friend.

──⇌••⇋──

Adria made her way down the stairs, running a hand through her hair. A slight headache from being hungover which she could never let her parents find out.

Leah's gaze falls on her daughter "you were out late last night"

Adria pressed her lips together as she shrugged "Well at least I slept in my bed and not on John B's futon like I usually do"

Leah let out a frustrated sigh "Adria, you realize there are better people to hang out with then those Pogues"

Adria scoffed hearing this conversation many times before, the raven haired girl just shakes her head.

Adria's mother was a nitpicker whether it be about how she would dress, the way she looked, how she acted, and especially her choice in friends.

Every time Leah and Adria were in the same room there was always something her mother had to say 'sit straight' 'fix your hair' and the rare comments where her mother would come off more cruel then anything.

"When's dad coming home?" she questions, biting her cheek. Her mothers intense gaze almost made her feel sick as she studied her outfit.

"I think Saturday" Leah answered as she cleaned off the counter.

Adria took a breath as she nods, swallowing thickly "I'm gonna go meet up with Kie"

Leah hummed glancing at her daughter "Wearing that?"

Adria's eyes fell closed at her comment. Adria bit her tongue as she made her way towards the door.

──⇌••⇋──

Adria sat beside Kiara as she played the bongos lightly, the girls head resting on her shoulder.

"look I'm calling it off, Peterkin said if I stay out of the marsh, she'll help me with DCS" John B announced causing Kiara to stop playing.

"And you believed her?" JJ questioned his friend in disbelief.

John b nods with raised brows "Yes I believe her, JJ"

"an actual cop, John B. You believed a cop" JJ tosses a rock down the yard.

"all I gotta do is stay out of the marsh for a couple days, and she'll help me out, and it doesn't help that your ass was the one shooting a gun" John B tosses the stick he was holding onto the ground

"you know what I should've done? I should've just let Topper drown your ass " JJ scoffed

Adria shoots the boy a look "Jay-"

John B rolled his eyes "yeah 'Cause Topper was gonna drown me"

JJ stands up "sure looked like it" he slightly chuckled "I mean have you looked in a mirror?"

John B rolls his eyes "tell me some more, come on"

JJ leans on the wooden post "they always win don't they? Kooks versus Pogues, they always- They always win!" he hit the Buoy the hung across the overhang as he turned around "goddamn"

"Look, it's okay" Kiara Chimed in.

JJ spun on his heels "no it's not okay, it is not! They don't want us to go down into the marsh that means there's something valuable down there and you know it man"

he swiftly points at John B "I know you do. And I understand why you don't wanna go" his eyes fall onto Pope "you're the golden boy you got way to much to risk, and you two─ I mean you 're already rich as fuck anyway, why would you bother"

Adria purses her lips as she looks to the ground for a moment, JJ looks back to John B "but you and me man, we got nothing to lose! we really don't"

John B stands straight "JJ-"

"and I know it didn't use to be that way for you"

John B shakes his head "I don't want to talk about this" he shrugs "I don't want to talk about it"

"so that's it?" JJ looked at him.

John B shoved him "get out of my way, bro"

Adria rest her head in her hands as she, Kiara, and Pope all share looks.

"John B listen to me I have a plan" JJ walks up to him "you got the key to Cameron's big boat, right?"

John B tosses his head back growing frustrated with his friend and already having an idea to what he was talking about "No, JJ"

"there's scuba gear inside" the blonde continues to explain "we borrow that, and then we go down to the wreck this afternoon, and that is what's gonna save you man"

he looks John B in his eyes "you don't see rich kids going to foster care, do you?"

──⇌••⇋──

Adria and Kie sat on the boat as they looked through the oxygen tanks "this is empty. You took empty tanks" Kiara said, her gaze fell onto John B.

The group- especially John B should've learned not to listen to JJ's plans considering he just convinced him to steal scuba gear from his boss but like JJ said stupid things have good outcomes all the time.

Adria grabbed a different tank before she spoke "this one's a quarter full" she looked up to the group "it's enough for one of us"

"love it when a plan comes together" Pope comments sarcastically.

"Does anybody know how to dive?" Kiara asks looking at each of them as they all shake their head " Anybody ?"

JJ shrugs "it's kind of a Kook sport, so Drea could teach us"

Adria rolled her eyes "Funny" she mutters sarcastically.

Kie sighs "I . . Read about it" Pope states.

"great" Kiara's voice was laced with sarcasm "Pope read about it so, someone's gonna die"

"look you put the thing in your mouth and breath how hard could it be" the blonde bunches his shoulders.

Pope crosses his arms "well if you come up to fast nitrogen gets into your blood, and you get the bends"

"bends like, bend over and-" Pope quickly cuts off the boy "the bends kill you"

The blondes face falls "right"

"I can, I can dive" John B raises his arm slightly.

JJ raises his brows at him before nodding "yeah, you can dive. I'm cool with that"

"since when can you dive?" Kiara looks at him with a serious expression.

"I'll do it it's fine" he shrugs

Pope stands up "let me do some calculations, real quick"

"thank god for Pope's calculations or we'd all be dead by now" Adria comments with a smile earning a look from the boy.

Kiara rolls her eyes "are you serious" she stands up beside Adria.

"Okay, so, that boats probably 30 feet down, so it'll take 25 minutes at most at that depth, which means you need to take you're safety stop about ten feet" Pope explains "for two minutes"

John B nods "yeah, ten feet, two minutes. Got it"

Kie rolls her eyes as she pulls off her top as she jumps into the water Adria's brows furrow as her face covers with confusion.

"what was that all about?" Pope questions while Adria shrugs.

"I don't know, but I liked it. A lot" JJ's voice gains Adria's attention causing her to look away from the water, she rolls her eyes with a light scoff as she smacks him in the chest "ow" JJ mutters rubbing the spot where she hit him as he shoves her lightly with his free hand.

John B clears his throat as he stands causing the two to stop whatever child-like fight that was about to happen "Guys"

the two look at him, Adria puts her hands behind her back as she gives him a tight-lipped smile

"Uh, when you're down there, you look for the cargo hold, you stick this thing inside and twist and pull, Okay?" JJ explains holding the key.

"stick in the hole and pull, okay" John B recites with a nod.

"Hey!" Kiara's voice catches the groups attention "I tied my t-shirt to the anchor chain about ten feet down, it's where you need to do you're safety stop"

she swims back over to the boat Adria holds out her hand and helps pull her back on.

Pope begins to explain what to do to John B "you need enough air to decompress"

"How much?" John B questions.

Pope tilts his head side to side as he inhales sharply "unclear. Breath as little as possible"

" Zen , think Zen you know?" JJ comments as he imitates Zen breathing- well thinks he's imitating zen breathing

Adria's face contorts "Is that what Zen sounds like to you?" her brows furrow

JJ shrugs before tilting his head "that isn't zen breathing?" Adria couldn't help the laugh that left her lips as she shook her head.

"Hey, if we get caught on the marsh, we're basically screwed, so better get a move on" Pope said as he sat back down.

"Copy that" John B saluted him with a nod.

Kiara walks up to John B as she places a kiss on his cheek causing JJ and Adria to share a glance.

"Diver down" John B spoke "Diver down" Kiara recited.

She took a step back as John B placed the mask on his head before he jumped into the water

Kie turned around her eyes landing on Adria who had a child like smile on her face Kiara gave her a look shaking her head as she playfully nudged her with her elbow.

a siren filled the air "Shit, JJ" Pope said as the blonde turned around.

All their gazes were on the police boat coming towards them "guys that's the police"

"No shit" Adria muttered "oh, you've got to be kidding me" Pope stood up

"yeah, that's the police"

"just act frickin' normal" Kiara tossed her hair over her shoulder as the siren blares one last time as the boat comes up beside them.

Adria sends them a smile "evening officers" Pope said to them with a grin.

"evening" Shoupe replied as he tossed a rope which Pope handed to JJ "here, tie this off"

Shoupe took off his sunglasses "how you kids doing? you know the marsh is closed"

Adria raised her brows "Oh, wow sorry, we had no idea it was closed" she shares a look with the rest of them as they agree with her.

"why- why is it closed?" Pope inquired

"well, we're conducting a search out here. Boat went down" Shoupe explains "you see anything?"

"No" JJ ​​​​​​​​answered shaking his head with a frown "No, no boats" Pope added

Shoupe eyed them "where's you're friend you always hang with? He here?"

Kiara shrugs with a half smile "he's working"

"Hm" Shoupe hummed to himself "I'm gonna check you're little boat out"

"yeah, Hope aboard" Pope moved out of the way as Shoupe got onto their boat "you wanna check her out, check her out"

"thank you" Shoupe begins to walk about the boat, looking it over "you got another one of these?" he asks, holding up the life jacket.

"yeah, yeah of course it's in the hold" JJ informs him

Kie and Adria stand up as Adria gesture to it "here, show him"

JJ moves past them as he grabs ahold of the other life jacket "here you go"

Shoupe nods "alright" Adria gnawed on the inside of her cheek anxiously as she watches the police officer make his way towards the edge of the boat.

"be carful there, don't wanna slip" Pope says to him.

Adria chuckled, scratching her brow "yeah, I did that the other day, just wiped right out"

Shoupe puts his sunglasses back on as he peers into the water, he stands there for a while Adria begins to pick at her nails.

"All right" Shoupe turns around "beautiful day, isn't it?"

Pope nods "sure is, very beautiful"

"you let us know if you see anything on your way out" Shoupe climbs back onto his boat as he unties the rope.

"Will do" Adria nods keeping the smile on her face "we'll be gone soon, sir" JJ adds

"yes you will" Shoupe spoke once more before driving off in the boat.

Once he was gone far enough the four rush to the edge looking into the water, Adria's hair falling in front of her face causing her to tuck it behind her ears.

"he's definitely out of air" Adria glances to Pope at his words then back to the water

Finally John B's head pops out of the water, Adria exhales in relief, hand on her chest.

"there he is!" JJ points as smiles form on their faces "how'd it go down there?"

John B swims over to the ladder "did you find anything?" JJ asks the brunette

"Did I find anything" John B spoke with a wide grin as he tosses the bag up onto the boat

JJ grabs ahold of the bag a wide smile on his face "yeah, there we go, that's my boy"

"you Okay?" Kiara asks him.

John B pants "yeah" he pauses for a moment as he climbs onto the HMS "I ran out of air" he looks up to her squinting from the sun in his eyes.

Kiara gave him a serious look "you scared the shit out of me"

"yeah the cops were up here, but, uh . . . Took care of 'em" Pope placed his hands on his hips with a proud smile.

"yeah you kind of missed the show, brother" JJ pats him on the shoulder.

Kiara nudged Adria gaining her attention "hey guys, guys, bogey, two O'clock"

Adria's eyes landed on the boat "what?" JJ's head turned in their direction

Pope looks to Kie and Adria "do you recognize that boat?"

"I've never seen it" Kiara answered as Adria nods in agreement "me either"

"what are they doing back here the marsh is closed" Kiara's eyes never left the boat heading their way.

"I don't know but let's not stick around to find out" John B glanced to the blonde "JJ get the bowline"

JJ nods "yeah"

"should we wait on them?" Pope glances over his shoulder to John B.

He immediately shook his head shook his head "no, we're not gonna wait on them go get the stern. Go!"

Adria glanced to JJ then back to the boat "JJ, hurry up" her voice didn't hide the worry she felt.

"Guy's, guys, don't wait for me, go" JJ ​​​​​​continues to pull up the anchor while John B starts the boat.

"I don't like the look of this" John B muttered as the boat grew closer not slowing down in speed

"Go, go, go, go, go!" JJ waved his hand frantically.

"go into the Marsh" Pope added

John B turned the boat as they make their way into the marsh "Hey guys, they're following us!" Kiara spoke as Adria followed her gaze to the boat that had picked up in speed since before

"oh this can't be good" Pope muttered

"Dude you gotta go faster!" JJ ushered his friend glancing at him for a moment

"I'm going!"

"Gun it!" Adria hollered.

They continue to speed through the marsh as a gunshot rang through the air Adria drops to the ground along with the others "Holy Shit !"

"John B get down" JJ tapped his friends arm as another shot rang through the air

"Oh we're gonna die!" Adria looked at Pope with slightly narrowed eyes "way to be optimistic!"

Pope looked up at the girl with wide eyes "How am I supposed to be optimistic when we're getting shot at?!"

John B continues to make sharp turns through the marsh as more shots were fired Kiara shares a look with Adria before nodding her head at the end of the boat

Adria inhales sharply as the two stand up still ducking Kiara grabs ahold of a fishing net as the gun fired again the two duck as the bullet just misses them.

"guys, get down!" John B hollers

the pair move to the back of the boat "Help me spread this out" Kiara states, Adria nods as she moves as fast as she can to spread out the fishing net, flinching every time a shot was fired the two share a look before tossing the net into the marsh water.

"get down" JJ's voice was heard as his grabbed ahold of Adria's wrist pulling her down beside him seeing as she was the only one still standing just as another shot was fired.

JJ's arm was draped over her waist as the two cover their heads, after a moment she heard the sputtering of an engine, she looked over the edge of the boat as the other men's boat gets stuck in the net.

A smile begins to grow on her face as she also takes a deep breath, once they were farther away they teens stood up.

Kiara rushed over to Adria as the two share smiles at each other before Kie wraps her arms tightly around the girl.

──⇌••⇋──

Adria steps out of the HMS while Pope is tying it to the dock, extremely anxious to figure out what's in the bag that was so important that had them get shot at.

Adria runs up behind John B as he sets the bag down and begins to open it "what do you think it is?" Kiara questions

"it's got to be money or something, right?" John B said to the brunette.

JJ adjusted his hat "that or a couple of keys with street value to the low- to mid mils, man"

Adria rested her hands on her knees as she leans forward slightly "whatever it is it better be good if we were getting shot at for it"

"can we please just open the bag!" Pope spoke loudly as all eyes turn to him with raised brows. Adria pressed her lips together as she tried not to laugh at the boy.

"wow Pope" John B began "that's a rare outburst of emotion from you"

Pope throws his head back "Okay you guys are literally  killing me with anticipation, so open the bag" he lightly smacks John B's shoulder "we almost died over this"

John B pulls out a smaller bag as he quickly opens it Adria's brows furrow, John B begins to twist open the lid to a capsule he tips it over as a compass falls in his hands.

Adria's face falls as her mouth practically hangs open "a compass? "

"Oh wow" Pope stands up " yep , that's about right good job, everybody. We found a compass "

JJ looks at John B who's still looking at the compass "Dude, what? it's not worth anything" he shrugs his shoulders

"this was my fathers" he spoke just above a whisper as he chuckles softly.
