ˏˋ°•*⁀➷・❥・ˏˋ°•*⁀➷Bella and John B were currently having a DCS meeting with a woman called Cheryl. She sat down in her chair opposite the siblings, taking off her glasses as she began to speak ''Now, it's come to our attention that you are both unemancipated minors living on your own.''
''Pfft no.. no'' John B badly lied ''No'' he continued, his sister realising that it was a bad idea to let him talk.
The woman sighed ''I need honesty in order to help you. It's what we all want, right?''
John B leant back in his seat ''I'm being honest''
Cheryl tilted her eyebrows in disbelief ''Ok, and when is the last time you spoke to your uncle?''
John B held up his wrist which was accessorised with bracelets, pretending to read an invisible watch ''Uh... 34 minutes ago''
The woman looked slightly fed up with him and decided to turn to face Bella to question her ''And when was the last time you saw him?''
She lifted up John B's hand to get a look at his wrist ''2 hours and... 43 minutes ago?'' saying it more as a question than an answer as John B laughed at her witty response.
Cheryl didn't look at all pleased with either of them ''Bella, John, we're gonna come out there tomorrow to talk to your uncle. If he's not there, we're gonna move forward with foster care'' Bella rolled her eyes and John B let out a puff of air ''I want to assure you, we're going to find you a safe and loving home''

Later on in the day, a warning had been sent out to the whole island, telling people to stay inside and make their homes as secure as possible due to the brewing hurricane. By the time the sky had darkened, the weather had already worsened from just rain, now at the point that the beach was closed. This didn't stop Bella, John B and Pope as they all stood on the sand looking at the crashing waves, surfboards in hand. Pope having common sense, looked over to say ''Those aren't surfable waves guys''
But Bella wasn't there to hear Pope say this as she was running out already, laughing as she turned around to shout to them over the loud thunder ''hurry up slow coaches''
''Says who'' John B looked at his sensible friend laughing, then sprinted to catch up to the girl.
After a while of surfing, John B turned and saw a boat out in the distance muttered to himself ''What the hell?'' and shouted towards Bella over the sounds of the pelting rain and crashing waves ''Hey Bells? Can you see that too or am I just imagining things?''
She stopped and looked in the same direction as him and saw the boat bobbing up and down in the choppy waters in the destructible weather ''Holy shit, what's a boat doing out here in this weather?''
''Well I mean they could ask us the same thing'' he laughed but as they both looked back in the direction that they'd seen the boat - it was gone.
The girl squinted at her brother, struggling to see through the amount of rain ''Weird''
