Everyone was back on the HMS Pogue on their way to the Chateau.

"Well, that was fun. Could've warned us a little sooner," JJ said, with a chuckle.

"We would've except Pope was on the math team," Kiara sighed.

"You were on the math team?" John B asked with a bewildered expression.

"Wait... that's a real thing?" Brooklynn asked seriously.

"Yes, that's a real thing," Pope said looking at Brooklynn before he shifted to JJ, "Did you guys find anything?"

"Did we find anything? No, I don't think so," JJ said, reaching his hands in his pockets to pull out the gun and a wad of cash, "Oh, yeah, we did."

A giddy grin appeared on JJ's face. Brooklynn wanted to be mad at him but found it very hard considering how happy he appeared.

"What the hell!" Pope exclaimed.

"Dude, chill."

"You took that from a crime scene?!"

"It's better than the cops having it!"

"That's true," Brooklynn said, joining in their banter.

"Are you serious?" Kiara said to Brooklynn with a very unimpressed facial expression.

"I'm gonna lose my merit scholarship," Pope said, looking down to the floor.

"Hey, sh, sh, sh, sh," JJ said, touching the gun to Pope's lips, "At least you have us, right?"

"I'm living the nightmare," Pope stated, backing up from JJ.

A long moment of silence went by before Brooklynn decided to speak up. 

"John B, can you drop me off at the Camerons?"

The HMS Pogue started to slow down as they neared the dock. Brooklynn quickly hopped off, landing safely on the dock and waving goodbye to her friends as they sped away.

Brooklynn took a long breath before extending her arm to knock on the door of the Cameron's mansion. Rafe answered pretty much immediately as if he was expecting her.

"Babe, hey."

"Hi. Uh, could I come in?"

"Of course, of course."

The couple headed upstairs to Rafe's room and sat down on his bed.

"So, where have you been? I didn't get any texts or anything," Rafe said bluntly.

"I was at my Mom's. There's no service in the cut," Brooklynn explained shortly, refusing to bring her eyes up to his.

Rafe had this dangerous look in his eye. Brooklynn wasn't sure what it meant, but it wasn't a good thing.
