"Morning." Cora says, walking into the kitchen where her family says. "Morning, Cora." Rose replies. "Do you have any idea where your sister is?" Ward asks, referring to Sarah. "I don't know." Cora answers. "She hasn't really told me much since she started hanging out with John B." "No surprise there." Rafe says. "Those Pogues are the worst of them all." "Until we get Sarah back in the right track I'm getting you some body guards." Ward tells Cora. "It's not that serious, dad." Cora says. "We don't want those Pogues corrupting you like they have Sarah." Rose tells her. "Just let me find out where Sarah is and try to talk to her before we make any decisions. Please." Cora says. Ward let's out a sigh, placing a hand on his head. "Fine." Ward says. "Thank you." Cora says.

About an hour after convincing Ward to let her talk to Sarah, Cora was leaving the house to find her. As she got out the door and closed it behind her, someone grabbed her arm dragging her round the side of the house. She went to scream but let out a sigh of relief when she saw it was Sarah. "Thank God, you're okay." Cora says, hugging Sarah before pulling away and hitting her arm harshly. "Why wouldn't you tell me where the hell you were?" "Ow!" Sarah says, holding her arm. "Sorry I didn't tell you where I was. Things have just been hetic. But I have got something to tell you." "What is it?" Cora asks, as Sarah looks around to make sure no one was listening. "You got to promise not to tell anyone. Not even dad." Sarah says. "I promise." Cora says. "You know the gold of the Royal Merchant?" Sarah asks, causing Cora to nod. "We found it. Me, John B and the others. We found it." "You found the gold of the Royal Merchant!" Cora nearly shouted. "Shhh!" Sarah says, putting a finger to her lips. "Sorry. Wow. I can't believe you found it." Cora says. "Where was it?" "I can't say. I got to get back before dad catches me. But, uhm... the group have said your more then welcome to join us. If you want." Sarah says. "Is it okay if I take time to think about it?" Cora asks. "Of course. We getting it out tomorrow night. Come to John B's house before 5." Sarah tells her, before giving her a quick hug. "Be careful, Sar." Cora tells her. "I will. I promise." Sarah says. With that Sarah jogs away from the house. Cora watching her until she goes out of sight before heading back into the house.

Cora found herself stuck with the bodyguards Ward had hired to watch her the next day, so she couldn't get to the Chateau. The blonde was sat in her room, on the window seat, strumming her guitar,which she always did. As she was there was a knock on the door, causing her to sigh. "Come in." Cora says, swing her legs round, so her feet where on the floor as she leaned down and put her guitar on the stand which sat by the wall next to the window. As she looks up, the door opens to reveal her bodyguard Henry. "Miss Cameron. We have been asked to take you to the airstrip." Henry tells her. "The airstrip? Why?" Cora asks. "Not sure. Mr Cameron has just requested that we do so." Henry says, causing Cora to sigh as she stands up. "Okay. Meet me downstairs. Let me grab my bag." Cora says, causing Henry to nod before he leaves the room.

When they arrive at the airstrip, Cora saw the plane and a bunch of people loading large crates into it. She walked towards it watching as her bodyguards followed closely behind her. She then saw Sarah running towards her, the two girls bodies soon colliding in a hug. "Sar, what's going on?" Cora asks. "Dad heard me telling you about the gold. He hired people to follow us to where the gold was, and when we went back to the Chateau for a few hours to finalise the plan, dad toke the gold." Sarah explained. "Dad wouldn't do that, Sarah." Cora tells her. "There has to be some other explanation." "Cora, dad is crazy. You, Rafe and Wheezie are to blind to see it but he is." Sarah says. "CC, he killed John B's dad. And he most likely killed your parents to." Cora's breath caught in the throat as Sarah said that, but she shallowed it and shook her head. "You're wrong. Ward is not a murderer. He toke me in when I needed a place to stay. He may be my uncle biologically but he's really the only father figure I have had." Cora says, tears coming to her eyes. "Sar, I can't think of Ward as a murderer. I just... I just can't. Especially not as the person who killed my parents." "Cora..." Sarah tries. "Dad was right. The Pogues. They've corrupted you." Cora says. "That's the only explaination for this." "Cora, please. You have to believe me. You have to help me stop dad from taken the gold from the pogues." Sarah says. "I'm not going to do that, Sarah. Dad found the gold far and square. It's not his fault you guys didn't get there quick enough." Cora says, shaking her head before walking over to Ward, Sarah following behind her, the guards following her. "There she is." Ward says. "Hey, dad." Cora says, hugging Ward. "Sarah told me what happened. Congrats on find the gold of the Royal Merchant." "Thanks, sweetie." Ward says, as the pair pull apart. "Hey, Boss. We're ready to go." Someone says, walking past. "Thank you." Ward says, before turning to the two girls. "You girls ready to go." "Yeah. Can't wait to see where we're going." Cora says, heading towards the plane, stopping when she sees Sarah stood still. "Sar, come on." "I'm not going." Sarah says. "Come on, Sarah. We need to go." Ward tells her. "I'm not going." Sarah repeats, causing Ward to sigh. "Cora, you go ahead and get into the plane." Ward tells her. Cora nods before getting into the plane. A few moments later Ward was forcing Sarah onto the plane.
This was the last thing Cora expected when she woke up this morning. There she stood next to the plane, Sarah and Ward arguing as Sarah stood by John B. The sound of sirens causes Cora to turn to see Peterkin getting out of her car. Ward starts going on about what John B had done, until he gets caught off. "Ward Cameron, you are under arrest for the murder of Big John Routledge." Peterkin tells him. "What?" Ward asks. "Peterkin, I'm so sorry. But you've got the wrong person. Dad, tell her she's got the wrong person." Cora says, turning to Ward who had a solemn look on his face. "Dad?" "Cora." The blonde turns to John B at the sound of his voice, anger evident. "You!" Cora snarls, storming over and pushing John B back. "First you corrupt me sister and now your getting my uncle arrested. What the hell do you have against my family?" "Cora, didn't you just hear Peterkin. Dad killed Big John." Sarah says. "No. No he didn't! It's all a lie John B has told to ruin our lives." Cora says, turning to her cousin breifly, before turning to John B and glaring at him. "Ward, put your hands behinf your head and kneel on the ground." Peterkin orders. Cora turns to see Ward doing as he was told, as Peterkin had a gun poined at him. "Dad." Cora says, going to walk over to Ward, but Sarah grabs her arm to stop her, as she tries to fight her off, John B places a hand on her other shoulder. "It's okay, CC. It's going to be okay." Ward tries to reassure her. All of a sudden a gun shot goes off, causing Cora to flinch, as Peterkin falls to the ground. Rafe then appears from behind the plane, pointing a gun at Peterkin. "Rafe?" Cora asks. "What the hell have you done?" Cora get's out of John B and Sarah's grips, slowly walking towards Rafe. "Cora." John B says, going to grab her and pull her back again, but he misses. Cora stands infront of Rafe, looking back at Peterkin, who laid on the floor. "Rafe, why did you do that? "Cora asks. "I was protecting dad." Rafe says, putting a hand on his head as tears come to his eyes. "I was protecting dad." "Hey. Hey. Hey." Cora says, hugging her brother, seeing him stressing. "It's going to be okay." "John B, you have to get out of here." Cora hears Sarah say. "What about you two?" John B asks, causing Cora to wonder who he meant. "I'll get us out of here." Sarah tells him. Cora then turns around to see John B running off. "Who was he talking about?" Cora asks, walking over to her sister. "Me and... you." Sarah says. "Sarah, I am not going with the Pogues." Cora says. "CC, do you seriously not see what's going on here?" Sarah asks. "Please, just trust me and come with me." Cora looks back at where Ward was talking to Rafe the two completely oblivious to the two girls. Cora had no idea what was real and what wasn't anymore. But she knew she couldn't leave her sister to be alone with everything that just happened. "Okay." Cora says, with a sigh. Sarah smiles, grabbing her hand before the pair run off.
