"Jay, keys, remote."

It was night fall and Briar, Be, Evie, Jay and Carlos were making their way towards one of the standard black limos in the garage. Briar was wearing a pair of skinny, black trousers with chunky heeled boots, making her a few inches taller, but still shorter than everyone. She had a pastel pink cropped top with a dark blue leather jacket with small pink jewels on them. Her hair was left down and curled as she had her small, blue bottle that Merryweather gave to her when she was away.

"Wait. Somethings wrong," Evie said as everyone stopped and faced her. She walked towards Ben and adjusted his hat. "There."

"Shotgun!"

Everyone turned around in shock to see that the voice came from Dude.

"No Dude, stay," Carlos said as Briar looked at him in shock. "The isle is way too dangerous."

"Did he just. . . .?" Jay asked as Briar was staring at the dog in shock. 

"Talk?" Carlos asked as Jay nodded. "Yeah, I know. I tell you later."

"Briar!" Dude said as the blonde laughed. "I love you! I've been wanting to say that for ages!"

"I love you too," she said, slightly confused as she laughed.

"Lets go," Ben said as Carlos held the door open for Briar. She smiled at him before getting into the car with everyone following. 

"Okay," Evie said once the car started driving, "once we cross the bridge, park under the pier in the old garage. Got it?"

"Okay," Briar said. 

"What's that?" Evie asked, seeing the glowing blue bottle in Briar's pocket.

"Merryweather gave it to me," the blonde said, getting it out her pocket. "Said it would help me in my time of need. I thought I'd take it with me just in case."

"Smart," Carlos said as the blonde smiled.

"Ben, help me with the tarp."

The group had arrived at the Isle and Briar got out of the car and looked around, a look of disbelief on her face.

"Jay!"

"Yeah, I got it," Jay said as the group pulled the tarp over the car.

"Are you okay?" Briar asked Evie who looked slightly uncomfortable. 

"Its really weird being back here," the older girl said as Briar nodded.

"We'll get in and get out," she said as Evie smiled and nodded.

"Hey, what's in here?" Ben asked, seeing a large, circular pipe.

"You don't wanna know," Jay said as Briar walked over towards them.

"Hey guys, keep it chill. All right?" Carlos said as Briar looked at him. "Last thing is we need our parents finding out we're here."

"So, where do we start?" Briar asked.

"This way," Jay said and the group of five began walking down and alleyway. 

"Hey!"

Briar turned around and saw two little kids attempting to rob Evie. The older girl had grabbed them both, stopping them. "Hey, stop!" She looked at the two kids and sighed. "Just take it. Go on."
