❝ You know, I have the feeling I'm gonna marry you someday, Oak.❞
- What would you do if you found out murder ran through your own blood?
And that, that blood was going to be the reason for the island's biggest case in the history of its existenc...

BEATRICE WOULD ALWAYS SAY; 'Family isn't necessarily the one you ought to call so, but the one you decide to'. Since the day Oakley Moon came across a curly-haired girl, a brunette guy, a raven boy, and a messy blonde, Beatrice Cameron knew those four ringleaders would become her daughter's family. The girl never doubted what her mor said, repeating how much she had to treasure those four kids if she really wanted her family to stick around.
Oakley always took and still does take her advice wisely.
And consequently, the Pogues haven't broken apart since the day they came together.
The five ride through the green waters of the marsh in their humble boat. Oakley sits on the edge next to Kie while the boys stay scattered around the boat, sipping on beers and looking out ahead with squinted eyes and faint smiles. The engine roars as they drive out of the port, occasionally passing by other boats and greeting people on land. It isn't until a black Malibu appears towards them in the distance, shining like a jewel and singing with its expensive engine.
JJ whistles as he catches onto the boat, turning to the crew with his shades on and a beer in hand.
"You guys see that? That's the Malibu 24-MXZ, the world's finest wakesetter. Number one in luxury quality, and performance," he turns towards the dark boat again, "two-hundred-k, easy,"
"We picked the wrong parents," Pope says, dumbfounded.
"I hate to break it to you guys, but that's Topper and his girlfriend," Kie interrupts sassily, making Oakley huff at the sight of her cousin and the repentant dick.
Oakley salutes the blonde girl with pursed lips and she replies with a soft smile, raising her expensive shades on her head and eyeing the rest of the Pogues before shamelessly ignoring their presence as the boat drives by.
"You don't have to act like you don't see us, bitch," Kie spits and Oakley slaps her leg softly, giving her a look.
"She's my cousin,"
"She's an ass,"
She rolls her eyes.

The next stop is the computer room, where the Pogues plan on sucking in every bit of information they can on the Merchant and everything John B's father left unfinished before his departure. Oakley is unsure of the idea, for many things pop up on the internet, and John B isn't a person that lets himself be fooled, and yet somehow gets misled.
"Alright, keep a look out," JJ speaks as the Twinkie pulls over on the parking lot of the luxurious Figure Eight hotel, "We're behind enemy lines,"
The blonde boy suddenly pulls out the gun.
"Yo, come on, man. Just put it back," John B scolds as the boys bicker.
