When Bianca awoke the next warning, it was to the sound of her name being announced on Channel Six's morning headlines.

She barely slept for more than two hours, having been disturbed by nightmarish visions plaguing her sleep. Eventually, the sun peeked out from behind her curtains and birds chirped their early morning song, not that she needed the wake-up call anyway.

"Five Kilare teens who went missing nearly six weeks ago are now reported alive, safe, and back on Kildare island. And now a live update from the Sheriff's department..."

Bianca's heart pounded so loud in her ears that she strained to overhear Shoupe's voice as it came on screen. Her shaky hand gripped her father's wedding ring which hung heavy around her neck, beside the shark tooth.

"Yeah, after six weeks, the five teens that had been missing from Kildare County have been returned, been reunited with their families. We're still waiting for details about their journey, but I'm sure they have quite a tale to tell. We also got word that the father of one of the teens, John B Routledge, who's been presumed dead for a year now, has also returned alive and well. Wonders never cease."

Bianca tip-toed downstairs, careful to avoid the ones that creaked. She needed to hear more— whether they would say anything about her father.

"Right now, we're just trying to get those kids settled back into school, with their families. They've been through a lot."

Shoupe's voice disappeared and was replaced by the same, monotonous droning of reporters. For a moment, Bianca was convinced she was in the clear until they continued.

"The teens were down in the Caribbean with another Kildare teen, Sarah Cameron, the daughter of a disgraced real estate magnate, Ward Cameron, who confessed to the murder of Sheriff Peterkin two months ago. One of the found teens, Bianca Prescott, daughter of esteemed hotel tycoon, Michael Prescott has also been returned to her home. Notably, Michael was also reported missing around the same time five weeks ago but as for whether the two cases are linked, the Sheriff's department is still investigating."
