~Third Person PoV~

One of Andrew's two campaign managers held up her phone. On the screen was Ava posing on her Instagram account. "No doubt, that's absolutely Ava." She stated.

"I thought you said your daughter didn't have any social media." The other manager said, looking to the politician.

Andrew shook his head. "She didn't..."

The woman kept the phone up as she continued to speak. "I don't think Ava having a social media presence will be a problem to the campaign but, I brought this to your attention because of something my daughter saw."

"Is Ava all right?" Andrew asked with a frown.

"My daughter mentioned Ava's account because she saw a picture of a hot guy wearing horns." The woman answered, rather quick to the punch. "She clicked and it brought her to the account, I... originally passed this out as a photoshop or something but that background..."

Andrew looked at the image closer "It's Ava's apartment..."

"Maybe Ava had friends over and they photoshopped the picture and made her an account?" The male manager suggested.

"No, this caption is definitely Ava..." The greying politician sighed. "I can tell she's been spending too much time on the internet..."

The brunette woman gave a small nod. "I just thought I should bring it to your attention. Now, let's talk about what we need to do next for-"

Andrew cut her off. "I'm taking the remainder of the day off."

Both campaign managers' eyes widened. "Wh-What?!"

"Yeah, I need a break." Andrew said with the slightest grin. "Besides, we've gotten most of the work squared away for the day. In fact, let's all take off and get a fresh start tomorrow."

The other man in the room beams and his eyes water. "Thank you, sir..."

The woman, on the other hand, starts to sweat. "But... what about your campaign?"

"One half-day isn't going to kill us." Andrew replies, simply, knowing his chances of winning the election were getting better by the day. "Now please, allow me to have a moment."

"Yes, sir!" The man and woman cheered in unison before leaving the man alone in his office.

Andrew took out his phone and dialed his loving husband's number. "Hey sweetie, I think need to pay Ava a visit..."

~Second Person PoV~

It didn't take long for Asch and Leif to become soaked by your spray bottle while the others remained fairly dry. Really, the only other person you ended up spraying was Ava for getting into a fight with Asch... even though you thought it was kind of hilarious.

Now, Ava was starting to assess the old camera and where to start when it came to fixing it. You knew it wouldn't be a problem; You had learned about the inner workings of a camera in college, and although it was much older than the ones you were used to, you couldn't imagine it being too much of a problem.

Ava raised an eyebrow as she looked over the camera. "This... is a relic..."

Her words seem to catch the boys attention, as they all go wide-eyed. "A relic?!?" Rhys questions.

"Is it powerful?!" Asch chimes in.

"Can it kill someone?!" Leif adds, grinning. He shakes the water out of his hair, getting you pajamas wet in the process.
