The window cracked open forcing me to wake up. it was a nice day outside, warm, the sea was calm, the rooster kept crowing for some reason and it was all just nice. I almost forgot what jj told me last  night. I decided not to give much attention to it and just keep my life going normal. It wasn't my problem he didn't trust me .  

i walked out of the room still wearing my pj's .And By pj's i mean a long mans shirt and underwear. As always.

John B wasn't in the house. He left a letter on the kitchen table saying that he is out with jj. since i had some time alone i wore my swimsuit and went to the sea to clear my head. The water was in the perfect temperature 

ofc someone had to disturb my peace . 

[jb]"Y/n get over here !" he and jj walked out the car and rushed in the house. 

[y/n]"what happened? And what's that on ur heads?" they had some white stuff in their hair and they looked pretty upset [jj]"pope and kie are in their way, wait till everyone is here." He took a minute looking at me up and down. I was still wearing my swimsuit and water was running through my body . Was he checking me out? Nah , jj would never.                                                                  [jj]"and go put something on" [jb]"go you are gonna get cold" JJ said it in a apathetic way, unlike john b, who actually cared about me. Or at least i thought, and hoped he did . I rolled my eyes and went back inside to change into some casual shorts and a strapless shirt.

kie and pope was here now and we all waited to listen what my brother and jj had to say                   
[jj]"we went to lana's house to learn some more info or something helpful . But someone was there before us. We heard screaming and loud noises so we glued ourselves to the wall. And then there was gunshots. BAM BAM BAM. There was paint falling in our heads...And at that point , i felt like i was gonna die..." he spoke really dramatic actually . He could def work at theater. But thats not the point
[y/n]"you sure that was the same guys  that shot at us?"
[jj]"yes im sure"                     
[pope]"did you get a good description of them, something helpful we could tell to the police?"     
[jj]"burly" [pope]"burly?"                                                                                                                                                   
 [y/n]"it's like I'm seeing them"                   [jj]"yes, yes. And listen to me. I can tell you with confidence that these boys...these killers, they're square groupers"                                                       [pope]"okay, and how does a square grouper look like specifically? Cause you don't know what to look for dude! "  it's the first time i see pope yelling. He didn't seem like the type of guy who gets upset so easy                                                  [jj]"look man i wasn't taking little mental Polaroids the entire time, i was under duress! BUT , i can tell you by the way miss lana was screaming , this guys are serious, serious hombres man" and again he was being dramatic , he even made his voice sounding like he is actually crying, we all knew he was faking.
[y/n]"why would they want the compass?" there was a silence and we were now all looking at john b who had the 'i just realized somthing face'
[jb]"the office." 

he was walking inside going to our dads office and we all followed him . Ive never been in there, he doesn't let anyone in.
[jb]"he always kept it locked , he was scared som1 was gonna steel his research on the royal merchant, we used to make fun of him but i...i just left it as i was..." for when he gets back...

he opened the door of the office and start looking for something . The rest of us just studied the room , it was unfamiliar for everyone apparently

john b took in his hands a board that had some names, pictures and dates on it and placed it on the table
[jb]"look. This is the original owner, Robert Q Routledge " next to his name there was the dates 1880-1920 and a picture he had the lucky compass in his hand. he died young.                 
[jb]"actually he was shot after he bought it...Then the copass was shipped back to henry, He was killed in a crop-dusting accident when he had the compass. And after he died the compass was given to stephen. He had the compass with him when he died in Vietnam"                          [y/n]"let me guess he died in action right?"
[jb]"short of...uh, he actually was killed by a banana track . in country...After that the compass was passed to my dad"                                                                  [jj]"reapeating pattern"
[pope]"man you have a death compass" we all kinda wanted to get rid of it, it cant be a coincidence all this people died when the compass was in their property                 
[jb]"my dad used to talk about this compartment in here that the soldiers hid secret notes"                     
 he carefully opened it
[kie]"whats that?...Redfield?" Redfield was really written on the inside         [jb]"that wasn't here before...This is my dads handwriting , that's his weird R see?" 
[kie]"what's redfield?"
[pope]" besides the most common name in the country"         
[y/n]"maybe its a clue" pope wasn't buying it , but at this moment he needed to be more supportive , so he just lied. [pope]"maybe an anagram?"                      [jb]"yes,perfect, an anagram" he handed some paper to pope so he could organize his thoughts
[pope]"how can you concentrate with that thing crowing at you?" he meant the rooster 

we were all just trying to find the anagram and kept saying random words . 

[jb]"GUYS SOMEBODY IS HERE!" shit 

we looked outside the window curious and scared. Kie was panicking . It was the guys that shot at us . John b was scream yelling at jj [jb]"where's the gun" [jj]"uh, gun? um..."           
[y/n]"now you dont have it, the one time we need the gun?"                                        [jj]"it was on my back bag, umn on the porch" he runned outside but it was too late and rushed back inside

we went to the window trying to open it. Damn it was stuck, someone paint it. Kie brought something sharp cuted as fast as she could. 

Now one of the man was outside of the office kicking the door with force. Gladly we managed to get out before he could see us

we hid in the kotetsi HAHAHAHAHA I DONT KNOW HOW ELSE TO WRITE IT 

The rooster kept crowing more and more loud. The space was small. JJ was glued next to me and i think kie and john b were holding hands, he was calming her down cause she was crying , i was crying too. On my left was the chicken , but i couldn't do anything. JJ tried to reach the bird by putting his hands on top of me. He tried to make the rooster silent and He killed it, he chocked it...I was crying even more harder but forcing myself not to make any noise. We heard foot steps coming towards our way, they prob heard something. I was holding jj's arm crying in his shoulder . I accidently sobbed to loud and he placed his hand on my mouth telling me with the finger on his lips to hush . 

after some minutes they finally left . i felt so damn scared and i just went straight to hug john b. 

We all agreed that we better stayed away from cheteau for some hours, so we did the best thing we could. Go look for some info about the compass.
