That night Brenna had to go home again, she was going to at least try to keep her promise with to her uncles.

The next day her uncles forced her to go with them to the country club, meaning she had to put on her kook uniform, a baby pink monochromatic cheetah print dress which she threw white cardigan over, and nude sandals, she had to at least attempt to fit in.

She was walking around the patio, standing along the fence, away from any full tables, looking out at the water as the rain fell around the large white building.

An officer in all black caught her eye as they walked across the patio to an older man, someone she had seen around the club before but wasn't sure who he was. She watched the officer hand him a piece of paper, then someone she knew started to walk by.

"Topper!" she whisper yelled, walking up to him, her hand on his arm stoping him, "Who is that?"

"My grandfather?" Topper said as if it was obvious, looking over at him.

"He said something about Ward, can you please find out and tell me what's happening?" Brenna begged, batting her eye lashes.

"Why would I help you?" Topper raised his brow.

Brenna crossed her arms over her chest, "What if it affects Sarah?"

"I'll be right back," Topper walked towards his grandfather.

Brenna watched the blonde try to ask his grandfather a question, but he was shooed away, but she watched him scan over the paper first.

"They're arresting Ward," Topper said quietly once he walked back to Brenna.

She knew it was gonna happen but yet she still was surprised, "Shit"

"I have to call Sarah," Topper pulled out his phone starting to walk away.

Brenna followed him, "She knows it's happening"

He ignored her, his phone to his ear, "Hey, Sarah"

Brenna could only hear his side of the conversation as she followed him through the country club.

"Hey, sorry to be the bearer of bad news here, but they're coming for your dad"

Brenna had to walk a little fast to keep up with him.

"Brenna!" Jessie smiled at his niece.

"Hi! I have go, Topper's taking me see his uhm new boat," she came up with a quick lie, trying to not loose Topper in the process.

Brenna met back up with Topper at his truck, opening the passenger door.

"What are you doing?" Topper looked over at the brunette, who slid into the seat.

"She's my best friend, if you're going to play superman, I'm coming with," Brenna said bluntly.

Topper looked at her like she was crazy.

"Drive!" Brenna snapped at him, and he did exactly that he sped off towards the Cameron's mansion.

When they pulled up to the house, John B's van was already parked out front, Topper pulled around it into the drive way, the two teens ran out to the dock where everyone was gathered, the pogues, officers, FBI agents and Ward.
