"The office" the brunette boy said standing up and entering his house

• • •

"I've slept here over here like 600 times and I've never seen this door opened" Pope stated as the group made their way towards Big John's office

"Here look, this is the original owner" John b said showing them all some pictures

"Okay, Robert Q. Routledge, 1880 to 1920" Summer read when John b passed her the picture

"There's the lucky compass, right there!" Kie pointed out the man in the picture holding the compass

"Actually uhm...he was shot after he bought it" John b told them "then the compass was shipped back to Henry" he pointed to another photo "he was killed in a crop-dusting accident when he had the compass" john b told them making Summer sigh again

"Right" she said, they were only getting to loose ends, not a single clue to lead them to what was happening

"After he died, the compass was given to Stephen" John b pointed to the next photo "He had the compass with him when he died in Vietnam" He told them again. What the fuck was wrong with that compass and dead people?

"Let me guess, he died in action, right?" JJ asked him

"Sort of...he actually was killed by a banana truck. In country" John b said looking at his blond friend "Anyways, after that, Stephen passed down the compass to him, my dad" John b finished his explanation

"Sound like there's a reocurring theme here" JJ stated

"No shit, Sherlock" Summer agreed with him making Kie glare at her

"Yeah, you have a death compass" Pope told him

"No, I don't have a death compass" John b scoffed

"You have a death compass" Pope said once again

"Seriously dude, get rid of it. It's cursed and it's made it's way back to you" JJ told his best friend

"We'll we have to agree that is was quite weird how the compass made it's way back to John b" Summer said. I mean, what was the probability to find Big John's compass in a random boat that sank in the marsh

"Well, it's kinda freaky yeah" JJ agreed with her while John b examined the compass

"Look, my dad used to talk about this compartment in here" John b explained opening the compass and Summer knew exactly what he was talking about, she had seen it at school when she studied WWII

"Yeah, soldiers used to hide secret notes there" Summer said making John b turn and smile at her

"Yeah" he smiled

"How do you know that?" JJ asked his blonde friend

"School" she simply replied

"They teach you weird things at that posh academy in New York" JJ stated making Summer shrug

"What's that?" Kie asked when john b finally opened the compass

"That wasn't there before" he said looking at the compass

Inside the compartment there was a word scratched there, Summer would guess that not long ago "Redfield"

"This is my dad's handwriting" John b smiled. We had a clue.

"How can you know that?" Pope asked him clearly not convinced about the handwiting

"Because he makes this weird thing with the R's with the...see it?" John b showed him the compass

"What does it say?" JJ asked him

"Redfield" Summer replied making everyone turn to look at her "what? It isn't that hard, you just have to read JJ" she said making JJ glare at her

"Okay, well, what's Redfield?" Kie wondered

"Besides the most common name in the county" Pope scoffed

"Maybe it's a clue...to where he's hiding" John b said making all his friends look at him, none of them believed Big John was still alive

"A clue...but if it's a clue maybe it's an anagram" Pope said

"Yes! Perfect, anagram. You need paper" John b said handing paper to Pope, Summer made her way towards the boy. Pope and her were the brain team of the squad.

"How cam you concentrate with that thing crowning at you?" Pope scoffed when John b's rooster crowned again

"JJ and Summer love the rooster" John b told him

"We love the rooster" JJ nodded putting an arm around Summer

"I named him Richard" Summer smiled proudly

"No, we said it was going to be Steve" JJ disagreed with her

"C'mon JJ, Richard the rooster makes a lot more sense" Summer looked at him

"No-"

"Can you shut up? We don't care what you called the rooster! The guys that shot at us are here" Kie told them

"The square groupers?" Summer exclaimed

"Yeah" she nodded at her friend

"Where's the gun?" John b pinned JJ to the wall when he started freaking out

"Gun? Uh...I can't-" JJ sttutered

"The one time we need the gun, J" Summer scoffed desperately

"On the porch, it's on the front porch in my backpack" JJ said going out of the room to find the gun

"John b..." Summer trailed walking towards him

"It's going to be okay, Sum" John b wrapped his arms protectively around her as JJ appeared again

"They're on the front porch, guys" he said rapidly

They could hear the men shouting and throwing things, they needed to get out of there.

"We gotta leave!" Kie exclaimed

"Okay uhm...window" Summer said making her way towards the window, but it wouldn't open

"Why is it taking so long?" Kie asked her friend

"It's painted shut" Summer replied. Shit.

Finally Kie handed Summer a knife and she could open the door while the men tried to open the door to the office. They all made it out the window and John b suggested hiding in the roosters hut.

Summer sat down close to John b, who put and arm around her as she put her head on his shoulder shutting her eyes.

Richard, the rooster, didn't stop crowling at them and Summer could see how one of the men was looking at the roosters hut.

"Do something Pope, shut him up" JJ said as Pope was the one closest to the rooster

"What do you want me to do?" Pope asked him

"I don't know pet it, or talk to it" JJ told him, but Pope wouldn't move. So JJ made his way towards the rooster, grabbed him by the neck and killed him. He instantly looked at Summer and saw a tear rolling down her cheek, she loved Richard the rooster.

As the rooster had stopped crowling, the two men went back to their truck and left making the Pogues  sigh with a breath they didn't even know they were holding.

Hey guys! So I'm working on a story with JJ as main love interest, would you like to read it? I've seen a lot of JJ stories so I don't really think mine would be nearly as good as those are.
Anyway, enjoy this chapter!
Love you!
