WE WERE JUST HAVIN' SOME FUN.

"SO, are we heading west like Kate suggested?" DJ asked as she got in the backseat of the truck with Ben. Boone needed to be in the front to film. Plus, he'd called shotgun for all day.

Tyler scoffed as Ben furrowed his brows. "She said to go east," the reporter said.

DJ couldn't help but giggle, realizing Kate was trying to throw Tyler off Storm PAR's scent. But Tyler was too good at his job to fall for that, so they were all taking off down the road after the fleet of white trucks.

It wasn't long before they were near the developing storm, turning down a side dirt road as they caught up to Storm PAR. DJ looked out the window at the vast wind farm, noting that the turbines were already shaking from the harsh wind.

Then the clouds began circling as a funnel came down, making all the guys cheer as she just smiled. Maybe today would be the day Scott got the data he needed. Maybe his uncle wouldn't yell at him after today.

Deciding to have fun with Javi, Tyler drove off the road and sped up until he passed all the Storm PAR cars. He pulled suddenly in front of Javi, running him off the road as music blared from Tyler's open window.

"Not funny!" DJ said with a sigh. "Member how the last wreck went?"

She couldn't stand the thought of Scott being disappointed with her even though she wouldn't be responsible again.

"Oh, it's fine," Tyler said, waving her off before talking to the mounted camera pointing at the cab of the truck. "Whoo! What's up, chat? Welcome back! Thank you for joining us. It is a perfect weather day. We just had tornado genesis. I'm looking at a tall rope due north of us, and she is pretty. Joining us today, per usual, got my chief storm hound, Boone."

Boone pointed the camera in his hand catching a second angle at his face. "Booney, baby! Whoo!"

"We got Dexter and Dani in the caravan behind us. And Lily with her drone ready. Last but not least, DJ's sweet self in the back," Tyler went on. "And our special guest today, we got Ben in the back seat."

DJ grinned and looked at the camera. "Ben just came in from London, y'all. London!"

"Uh, uh, yes," Ben said a bit awkwardly, not knowing how to act with a camera in his face. "South London. J - just between Stratham Hill and West Norwood."

There was a beat of awkward silence, no one knowing where that was or why it mattered. Then Dani broke it by calling in over the radio. "Tyler, tornado's on the move."
