Chapter 1

Skylar walked into the headquarter, expecting everyone to be in there but no one was there. No one at all. She turned on every switch and then she walked to her office that she shared with Lauren. She opened the door and then her eyes closed immediately.

"Happy Birthday!!!" Everyone was in the room, holding cake and balloons.

Skylar sighed but she smiled right away. "Okay, what is this? I'm pretty sure I told no one about my birthday."

"Yeah, you just happened to have your brother in the same unit." Camden shrugged. He walked to Skylar with a cake on his hands. "Now, blow this candle and wish for something good."

Terrence walked to Skylar and put the hat on her head. Erick put a kiss sticker on her cheek. Hana happily wrote 'BD' on her cheeks with her lipstick. Madison gave her the knife and Lauren just smiled at a corner happily. Way too happily.

"I can't believe this." Skylar said as she blew the candles off. "Thanks though." She said that way too awkwardly.

Camden elbowed his sister. "Calm down, sis."

Terrence shrugged. "Enjoy the cake for now because we have two missions for today."

They nodded to the chief and then they went haunting the cake meanwhile Terrence went to the droid table because he never liked cake that much. He waited for the rest of them to finish while listening to a song.

"Boss, looking good today." Madison was the first to finish. She touched her chin, mimicking Terrence nice look with shaved face.

"Thanks Maddy.” Terrence smiled as he rubbed his chin a little bit.

"What do we got today?" The rest of the team came in and Hana asked.

Terrence began sliding the files he got from Clark's assistant. "Okay, here we got an island that we need to check because someone reported that they saw a boat full of blood there. Orcas Island, in the same state."

"Boss, you, Camden and Kyle should do that." Lauren gave her thought.

"Yeah, no." Terrence shook his head. "I already chose people. Kyle, Erick, Lauren and Madison to the Island. Skylar, Hana, Camden and me, on the land."

Skylar laughed. "You definitely choose losers to the island." She laughed and got glares from everybody in the Island team. She rose her hands up and grinned.

"So, we just check the boat?" Kyle asked, his skin tanner than usual as he just got home from the Navy training phase 2.

"Not just checking the boat. Find the people as well." The commander sighed. "Some people believe that someone who murdered them must still be on the island. Or,.."

"They were killed by an orca or orcas." Kyle continued.

Erick gulped. "Are you serious? Why aren't you and Cam in this mission? We are non professional."

Madison elbowed him. "Yes, we are."

"So, what is the team land going to do?" Camden asked, really curious about his own job.

"That can't be told yet. Also, Erick, please go into my office now and wait for me there." Terrence signaled the younger man.

Erick just followed the order. Terrence added some informations as he went into his office and closed the door and pulled down the slide to close the glass walls.

Erick sat uneasily. "Do you want to confess or something? You don't have to do this, you know?"

Terrence rolled his eyes. "I just want to ask you something about FBI."

Erick gulped. "Okay..."

"Do you happened to know Special Agent Michael Reynor?" Erick clicked his tongue and nodded in dissatisfaction.

Terrence sighed heavily, but he was relieved. "Can you give his contact to me? His number? Address or anything?"

Erick sighed again. He wasn't relieved like the commander. He shifted on the seat.

"I.. I don't know, boss. He was kinda my enemy back in the Bureau." Erick grinned a little, trying not to get Terrence mad.

"Okay, is he still in DC?" Terrence knew exactly the look.

"Of course."

"Good, I will meet him right away." Terrence nodded and dialed FBI's headquarter right away.

"Why don't you just track his name?"

Terrence looked at Erick. "I think you know more than me of why can't I track his name."

Erick gulped again. Terrence signaled Erick to leave with his mouth as the call finally connected.

Erick just kept sighing. He left the office, meeting Camden who wanted to walk in. He stopped the man before he came in but the man was the one who talked first.

"What's with the curtain?" Camden asked, looking at Terrence's closed office.

"You call that curtain?" Erick narrowed his eyes to that.

Camden shrugged. "What happened inside?" He eyes Erick suspiciously. "You did something, didn't you?"

Erick made a disgusted face. "Hello, sir. No. I didn't do anything. Your BFF just asked me some questions."

"What questions?"

Erick finally gave up and left Camden just like that. Camden knocked the door and as he came in, Terrence was already in his jacket, ready to drive somewhere.

"Whoa, dude. Where are you going?" Camden was totally dumbfounded that time. He couldn't stand being someone who didn't know about anything.

"Somewhere. Can you help the island team to prepare their stuffs? I'll be back super quick." Terrence grinned and patted Camden on the shoulder, leaving him dumbfounded, again.

Skylar followed Terrence to the lift. "And, you! Where are you going?!" He screamed.

"I'm going with him. Obviously." Skylar stuck out her tongue to her brother, making the man half crazy and half mad. Fully not normal.

"You okay, Agent?" Hana asked out of concern. "Here is a coff-" She couldn't finish her words because Camden already snatched her cup and gulped it down.

She couldn't tell him it was still boiling-hot.

So, a scream it was.

"Have you gone through puberty, Erick? You freak out over everything like a man freaking out because he sleeps with a girl ten year older." Lauren's random question when they were all on a car made Erick wanted to puke.

"Lauren, stop making fun of him. He already looks like he is going to puke... In my car." Madison advised slowly as she drove. She sometimes looked through the mirror just to be aware of Erick's situation. She had someone throwing up in her car before so she didn't want it to repeat.

"Afraid not, I can bear myself from throwing up." Erick sarcastically replied.

"I agree with Lauren because if he is going to puke, he is going to do that on my new shirt." Kyle said, not really hyped up about Erick's case.

Erick glanced at him, feeling weird with that guy's little energy. He used to be hyped up about everything, especially teasing him. Erick glanced at the shirt.

"Hmm, that doesn't look new to me." He mumbled to the man next to him.

Kyle glared at him sharply.

Erick just looked away immediately. "Sorry, man."

.

Skylar turned on the radio.

"The best way to have your child for yourself is to try reconciling with your ex-"

Terrence switched the channel as soon as possible. He looked at Skylar who looked at him with eyebrows wiggling.

"Seriously, Terry?"

"Don't call me that! I listen to that because I have no idea on how to manage Mia. I mean, she loves the both of us fairly." Terrence defended himself.

Skylar nodded. "Yeah, only Cam can call you that." She laughed as Terrence looked super annoyed. "Haven't you talked about this? I thought the both of you decided to stay at the same house, for Mia."

"He decided that. Not me. He said that. Not me. He alone. Not us. Not me." Terrence sighed as he remembered the night again when Camden suddenly announced that he would be moving in with Terrence.

"What's the matter? You guys are best friends, right?"

"Yeah, best friends that can't forgive each other." Terrence finished the topic as he pulled up, meaning that they arrived at the FBI headquarter. "Come on. We got a man to take with us."

Skylar looked at the man with concern before she just nodded to whatever it was that the man said.

.

.

"We used 400 dollars to stay in this chalet and yet we need to spend most of the time at the ocean. How funny." Erick had not done complaining.

"It's not your money. You can calm down now." Kyle replied to him with his cold voice again.

Erick turned at him. "Why are you so sensitive today?"

Madison glared at Erick for asking that, quieting everyone down.

"We should get going." Lauren looked at her watch. "We don't have much time left."

Kyle looked back at the chalet. "Not checking in first?"

"The commander said to only use it to sleep the night. We are working, not having a vacation." Madison read the text she got and showed it to the jaw dropped boys.

"Seriously? 400 dollars for just the night?"

"The blood in the boat is more serious, Erick. You know what I mean." Lauren sighed. "Both of you are too young for this job, honestly."

.

.

Hana stared at Camden who looked like he just lost his soul. She changed to look at the droid table before she looked back at the man. He looked so stressed that his hair didn't look normal anymore.

"Hey, Camden." Hana approached.

Camden finally looked at something else other than his own hands. "Hmm?" He hummed roughly.

"Are you okay? Because you look like you just got hit by a car, or a truck." Hana took a step nearer that man.

Camden looked at the woman, finally. "I'm good. Hana, do you know what Erick was doing in there?"

Hana nodded which got Camden to widen his eyes. "Really? What was he doing? Why'd Terry asked for him?"

Hana smiled. "I was kidding. I don't know."

Camden's face saddened immediately. "Why'd you lie?"

Hana patted his shoulder. "That was a lie too. I actually know. He was there because Terrence wants to hire someone new. I can't tell you more. Just wait for what will happen today. He will be back with Skylar shortly."

Camden's forehead wrinkled. "Huh? A new man?"

Hana nodded. "Yep, because we are short in men." She grinned, showing her beautiful teeth.

Camden rolled his eyes. "He is just being nonsense." He looked at his watch. "Can you keep watch? I have to-"

"Take Mia from school. Know it." Hana made a shooting sign with her hands.

Camden nodded and left the headquarter.

Hana stared at the droid table. "Here I am again, not given anything to do. Yet, boss wants a new man." She sighed pretty heavily. Then, she got an idea. She ran after Camden.

"You know what? Let me take her from school! I'm so bored that I will lose my mind anytime soon." She screamed at the man who just got to his car.

Camden looked at her with concern. O-okay. Off you go, then."

.

.

"Commander O'Kelly, Special Agent Michael is ready to see you now." The secretary nodded at Terrence and Skylar.

Terrence excused himself to go in there while Skylar stared at the door.

Terrence knocked the door and unfamiliar voice came into his hearing. "Come in."

He walked in and looked at the man in the face before he closed the door. He took a deep breath and walked to where he was sitting. On his chair at his table.

"Special Agent Michael?"

"Yeah, definitely." He pointed at the chair in front of him, looking a little smug.

"Okay, thanks." Terrence sat down. "Have I ever seen you before?"

Michael nodded. "Yeah, we went to the same highschool. I joined the Navy for a moment and quit as soon as I got offered this job. I know you pretty well, commander." Michael spoke with that aura.

Creepy aura.

Terrence gulped again. He didn't feel as easy now. "I sent you the email."

Michael raised his eyebrows. "That email? How can you send me an email without seeing me first? Okay, what do you actually want from me? Because I didn't read your email."

Terrence clicked his tongue before he softened his face and smiled. "I want you in my team."
