Valentina was brading her hair in a mirror, Kie was sleeping on the couch beside her and JJ was making out with some chick from last night in Vals bedroom even tho she told him no like a kazillion times. Pope was sleeping on the sofa on the porch of the Château.

Vals mom Caroline and her new stepdad lived on the mainland somewere, they had lost contact, so she lived on Outer Banks with her dad and brother. Well their dad Big John hadd gone missing at sea about 9 months back so right now it was just Val and John b taking care of eachother. Their uncle T was supposed to be their leguar gardian but he was in curently in Mississippi bulding houses or something.

Just then John B walked out of his bedroom "Morning Kie, morning Val" John b said as he walked up to the counter where a photo of Big john and his mom was laying.

"Morning" Kiara smiled tiredly as Valentina finished her braid before walking up to her brother.

"Morning JB" Val smiled as she rested her chin on his shoulder watching him put up the photo of his mom and dad on the walls of the Château. They both missed their dad but they never talked about it and they hadd promised eachother to not give up untill we see a body. Even tho she was about a year older than him,  he was still taller and it was something he liked to tease her about.

But somehow the DCS found out than uncle T hadnt been home for a while soo they hadd to go over there and talk to them.

"Okay John, Valentina, it has come to our attention that you are unemanciated minors living on your own" The social worked said sitting down across from them as  Val let out an akward sigh glancing at her brother to give him a  hint to say something.

"No... No" John B scoffed as  the social worker looked at him with a disbelieving look. "No" John repeated.

"I need honesty to help you" The woman continued, "Its what we all want right?"

"Yeah were beeing honest" Valentina said sitting up straighter as she had almost slided down halfway on the chair.

"Okay so when was the last time you spoke to your mom, Valentina?" The social worker said grabbing her pen.

"Well yk she lives on the mainland but i called her yester day" Val lied as the woman wrote down her answer, it was good enough.

"And your uncle?" She asked looking up at the siblings.

"Uhhh... 34 minutes ago" John B lied looking at his arm as if he hadd a clock there. Val had to bite down on her bottom lip to prevent a chuckle from escaping.

"And when was the last time you saw him?" The social worker asked.

"2 hours and... 43 minutes ago" John said as Valentina gave him a glare, did he have to be that specific? He really was a bad liar.

The social woker gave them a long look before reaching out to grabb their hand.

"We are gonna come out there and talk to your uncle, if hes not there were gonna move forward with foster care. I want to assure you that were gonna find you a safe and loving home for the both of you" The woman said speeking softly, as the siblings looked at eachother akwardly, thay actually thought we would be happy to hear that.
