"This is the boat? No blood." Erick stepped into the mentioned boat carefully with Madison's help. She already took his hand because she knew exactly that Erick was kind of traumatic with water.
Lauren followed him while Kyle stayed on their motorboat, so that they still linked.
"Maybe this is the wrong boat." Kyle gave his thought.
"Or, we have another boat with blood but with the same registration number." Madison shrugged. "But, why do they get the same number? And, why is this one also abandoned?"
Lauren began thinking. "Maybe they want to confuse us. Or, whoever told the story was a liar."
Madison nodded. "Could be. Erick, you should call the HQ-" She looked at Erick who finally found something.
Erick quickly wore his gloves. "There is a dead body in the food tank." He opened the wooden door and then they all gasped as they saw the body chopped into pieces.
"Oh, now I think I am going to fall into the water and throw up. Or the other way around." Erick closed his mouth and his eyes.
"Report to the HQ now, Erick. And call the police department to come down here, send forensics too. We need to run its DNA." Madison gave the order.
Lauren took a deep breath. "Because there is no head in here."
"Oh, God!" Erick almost fainted due to the view.
.

"I want you in the team."
Michael laughed. "You are kidding, right?" He snickered to the point he began coughing. He closed his mouth and took his breath to look back at Terrence's serious face.
"I am not kidding. You are one of the top agent, right? I need your help with something."
"Is this about Erick Wilson?" Michael guessed and he guessed right because Terrence nodded.
"So, temporary member?" Terrence offered.
Michael shrugged. "Depends. If I get addicted with the team, you can't kick me out."
Terrence smiled and nodded. "Great. Deal?" He gave his hand.
And, Michael shook it.
Hana waited in the car, while tapping the steer, waiting for the little girl, Mia to come to the car. She sang a song about a break up even though she just got into a new relationship with Niles. That's probably why she sang that way too happily.
"Hana?"
Hana turned to see Mia's confused face.
"Yes, my dear. Come on in." Hana turned off the lock and smiled at the girl.
"Where is dad? Is he okay?" Mia was asking, a little bit panicked.
"Of course, he is great. I'm just picking you up because I am so bored at the headquarter." Hana explained as Mia got into the car.
"Oh, is that so? How about you come to my ballet class this evening?" Mia smirked as Hana's eyes widened.
"Oh my God! Really?"
Mia nodded. "Of course. I am sure uncle can cut you out from the shift today."
Hana nodded. "Let me call hi-"
"No! I will call him! He may not allow you if you are the one asking. He can be pretty noisy." Mia took out her phone and called Terrence.
Too bad, the call wasn't answered so she called Camden instead, who answered right away.
"Hello, dad." Mia approached first as the call connected.
"Mia? Why are you calling? Hana doesn't pick you up?" Camden asked, already panicking because Mia never called her at this time.
"Nope, she is here. I am just calling to ask your help. Can you get Uncle Terry to allow Hana takes her leave today? Because I want her to attend my ballet class." Mia spoke, her voice soft but eager.
Camden's jaw dropped. "I don't think that's a good idea. Can't she go another day?" He sighed. "Why didn't you call your uncle?"
"I did. He didn't answer. I'm counting on you, daddy! Thank you!" Mia ended the call.
Hana looked at her curiously. "How?"
"All good. No worries."

Michael and Terrence walked out together. Skylar looked at them with eyebrows rising. She looked at Michael closely and she sighed before she looked at Terrence.
"Oh, God. You two look close." She said, judging, also not liking the new dude's vibe. She actually said that sarcastically, for Terrence.
"Skylar, Michael. Michael, Skylar." Terrence introduced them.
They shook hands while glaring at each other and of course, Terrence noticed that. "Okay, calm down. So, Michael, I will go back to our headquarter. Expecting you to be there at 2PM."
Michael nodded. They shook hands and Terrence walked away with Lauren.
"Okay, what was that?" Lauren asked with unsatisfied tone.
Terrence narrowed his eyes. He let Skylar drove the car this time. The car moved as soon as they were in.
"What what?" He asked, glancing back at the FBI's headquarter.
"Him, I don't like him and I have the feelings that both you and my brother know him and my brother doesn't like him as well." Skylar told the man honestly. She drove pretty slow compared to how she usually does because she wanted them to have a long conversation.
"Wow. How'd you know?" Terrence chuckled but Skylar didn't seem impressed so his face hardened right away. "You want to know why I want him in my team?,"
"Yeah and don't tell me you are taking him to make my brother mad so that he will begin a problem and you can take Mia." Skylar overdid the thought this time but Terrence looked at her as if her idea wasn't so bad.
"That's a good thinking but no." Terrence smiled, almost laughed again.
Skylar sighed. "Why can't you just tell us?"
"You know me. My secret plan won't work if I tell people." Terrence shrugged.
Skylar shook her head. "I don't know how can I end up liking you as a friend."
"You failed making me feel friend zoned." Terrence joked and Skylar hated him for that.

Camden knew he was wrong for doing this but he needed to know what the hell was Terrence hiding from him. He was so tired of that guy. That's why he sneaked into Terry's office and went into his drawers to see if there was any documents that looked special.
He found one with a unicorn sticker on it. "What the hell is this?" He took it and opened the file. He was stunned immediately and he smiled right away, seeing Mia's pictures in there.
"Wow, what are you doing in my office, Cam?" Terrence was at the door, looking at the other guy who sat on his chair with wide eyes. He looked suspicious too.
Camden looked at him and sighed as he got caught red-handed already. He kept those pictures back and then put the file back.
"It's okay. You can take it." Terrence walked in and sat on the visitor's chair.
Camden widened his eyes. "Really, dude?"
"Yeah. Yeah. Really. I actually keep those copies for you so that you will have something to know about her." Terrence rose and took the file back. He gave it to Camden.
Camden wanted to say thanks but his mouth didn't do so.
"So, mind explaining the reason of why you are here?" Terrence smiled forcefully.
"You know why. So, who is the new guy?"
Terrence shrugged. He looked out from the glass and noticed that someone was missing. He only saw Skylar. "Where is Hana?"
Camden opened his mouth and closed it back. He took a short breath and opened his mouth again. "Well, Hana picked Mia up and Mia wants her to accompany her to the ballet class."
Terrence frowned but nodded. "Okay. Now, please leave me alone."
Camden left willingly, taking the file with him. He gave a signal to Skylar meaning he was annoyed with that side of Terrence and she agreed.
.

Skylar was video calling Madison and Hana at the same time. She was in the toilet, washing her face as she did so.
"Madison, he is like a woman on period. What the hell is wrong with him?" Skylar snitched out about Terrence. She looked back sometimes to make sure no one was entering the toilet.
"Really? I'm glad then Mia takes me to this unexpectedly boring class." Hana sighed, she turned the back camera on, showing Mia dancing passionately.
"Damn, that girl's got a talent." Madison commented on Mia, ignoring Skylar's question about their boss.
"Hello, sis Maddy. I'm trying to be a good friend to Terrence now." Skylar reminded the doctor.
"Okay. That means he is stressed about something." Madison shrugged. "Maybe he has something on mind bothering him."
Hana frowned. "Is this about Mia?" She whispered those words.
"He doesn't want to give Mia back to Cam or he doesn't want to share his house with Cam." Madison gave her theory.
"Well, he needs to calm the hell down. Mia needs Camden more than she needs him anyway. Cam is her biological dad which means he is the one going to sign everything for her starting from this moment." Skylar mumbled, feeling a little unfair for her own brother.
"Relax, Sky. Maybe it is about something else." Madison gave another theory. Unhelpful one.
"I'm sure it's about Mia." Skylar sighed.
Skylar wiped her face and ended the call without excusing herself properly. She walked out and she saw Terrence at the door. He was looking at her with a pretty cold face.
"Thanks Skylar. Such a thoughtful friend you are." Terrence went in and slammed the door hard.
Skylar sighed and walked to her office. Camden approached her this time. "What happened?," The man asked.
"I don't know and I don't want to care." Skylar rolled her eyes.
She went into her office and began writing her paperwork about the last week mission.
Then, the bell suddenly rang, meaning there was someone at the door.
Camden went to the door. Skylar followed him from behind.
Oh, it was the Michael guy.
What a great day. Especially when Camden looked like he was ready to kill someone.

"Erick, you are not helping much." Lauren sighed when she watched the guy sitting on the motorboat, not looking into the water as they should be.
Erick nodded. "Yeah. I know that, obviously."
"Do you have water trauma?" Madison asked as she dipped a root into the water, to check if they were going at the right speed. "Kyle, slow down a bit."
Kyle followed the order, not talking much.
"Yes, obviously." Erick kept to himself. Hugging himself. Trying so bad not to look into the water.
"Wow, sorry man. Be careful then. We have orcas here." Lauren chuckled to her own joke.
"Was that a joke? Because that was actually a fact. This island is named Orcas for having killer whales obviously." Erick said, offended.
Madison shushed everyone to shut up as she heard something with hearing aid that she used. Something that she always had in her pocket when she goes into the water.
"What?" Kyle asked. "Should I slow down?,"
"Don't tell me we will have a dejavu with the crocodiles back then..." Erick sighed, hugging his own knees. "Oh, man. Not again."
Lauren sat next to Erick and closed his mouth, while patting his back, trying to calm the boy down.
They all shut up and then they saw movement in the water.
"Kyle!! GO FASTER!!" Madison ordered, half screaming.
Kyle added the speed and went faster. But the whale was obviously faster because it caught up pretty fast and was already behind them.
Erick who panicked, stood up to run but lost his balance, making him fall into the water. He screamed as loud as he could but he was relieved to the fact that Madison caught his hand. Lauren helped pulling his other hand. They tried pulling him back into the motorboat as Kyle went faster to keep safe distance from the whale.
Finally, Erick got into the boat harmlessly.
He looked at everyone who looked at him except for Kyle because he was too busy controlling the motorboat. The orca swam back because policemen's boats are way too much at where they arrived.
"Man, that was awesome!!!!" Erick screamed loudly with a bright smile on his face. He hugged Lauren and Madison.
"Thank you girls. Love you." Erick kissed their cheeks, making the both of them cringed so hard.
Kyle chuckled. "Hey, I was helping too!"
Erick smiled at him. "Thanks dude. No kisses for you."
Kyle made a disgusted face.
"Think you are fine with the water now?" Lauren asked.
Erick nodded confidently. "HELL YEAH!"
"Wanna go back in?" Madison raised her eyebrows. "I can help pushing."
Erick moved away from her, hugging Lauren who cringed for the skinship again. "Don't you dare do that to me!" He screamed so loud.
