"What- what are you..." Her head fell back and she realised they needed to stop. "Get out."

He smirked. "Don't be long, Angel."

She joined her brother and JJ outside in the van not long after her moment with JJ. She clambered into the back of the van, crouched in between the two.

"I'm just saying, I don't understand why you don't at least try it with Kiara. She clearly likes you. She's like, Oh, John B." JJ moaned.

"Is that what she does?"

"She's sketching about you diving, then she kissed you, bro."

"She kissed me on the cheek." He corrected him. "It's not like we were makin' out. Besides, Bee has more of a chance with Kie than I ever will."

"Damn right." JJ looked back at her and chuckled.

"Low-hanging fruit, bro. Don't pretend you don't notice. I see it in your eyes. You're like, I kinda like that, and you start blushing." Brooklyn smirked.

"I blush?"

"Oh, yeah, big time." Brooklyn whacked his arm playfully, a laugh leaving her lips.

JJ lunges forward and grabbed the compass sitting on the headboard. "Hey, don't-." John B fought.

"I was just look at it." JJ fiddled around with the compass in his hands. "I got admit, your father's compass in Scooter's boat, that's freaky."

"Yeah. That's why we're going to talk to Ms. Lana, figure this whole thing out."

"I'm sure she would just love to talk to us. It's not like her husband just drowned or anything." Brooklyn leaned forward and snatched the compass from the body grasp, fiddling around with the chain.

It felt weird, holding something that her father once carried with him. The compass was a little part of him and Brooklyn couldn't help but miss him more. She held the compass close to her lips and closed her eyes, only a tear blinked out of her eye but she held back the sobs she was craving.

They arrived at Ms. Lana's house not long after and the three of them climbed out of the van.

"You know what this house looks like? Whoever lives here smokes too much weed."

They began to walk towards the house when they heard the sound of glass smashing and things being thrown around which created a loud clatter.

"Bullshit!" Someone from inside the house yelled which was followed by a loud crash.

"Maybe we should come back. It's a little too soon."

"No, no, shut up. Shut up, JJ."

"Tell me where it is, or I'll fuck you up. I'll sink you in the fucking-." A huge crash followed which drowned out the rest of the man's words. It was a loud enough crash for the three teens to hide against the house.

"You're hurting me!" Lana screamed.

"Where the fuck is it, you bitch?"

"I don't know!" Lana sobbed.

"Is it here in this house?" Another crash followed by Lana's uncontrollable sobs. "Is it somewhere else?"
