After being locked in a holding cell for nearly 2 hours it was finally Saylors turn to be questioned. She watched as JJ left the room with a pail face and her curiosity peaked, JJ doesn't get phased by the police?

Just as she walked past him into the office she caught a glimpse of his dad entering the building and it all made sense. Saylor wasn't paying attention to Peterkin as she rapidly asked her questions her head reeling with the thought of what Luke Maybank would do to his son.

"My question was, do you know these two?" Peterkin repeated sliding two pictures across the table.

Saylors eyes went wide not expecting to see Ratter and Daniels staring back at her. "My mother owes them some money" she shrugged.

"Anything else?" The sheriff encouraged causing Saylor to sigh.

"They broke into our house after chasing us through the marsh"

"Here's a more recent photo." Peterkin placed two new photos over the previous. These ones allot more grotesque. Saylor gasped at the state of the two men. "Somebody gaffed them, then used them for chum." She retched at the sight. Obviously she didn't like them, they hurt her, they were bad people. But no one deserved that. "Here's the bad news, chief. Whoever killed these two men is still out there." Maybe if she wasn't so worried about JJ and traumatised at the sight of the pictures she would have remembered seeing Ward Cameron wiping down a bloody grappling hook the previous day. "and I got reason to believe their next target is that dear brother of yours. You kids don't think you're the only ones after the Royal Merchant now, do you?" She asked rhetorically. "Following in your fathers footsteps?"

"We're not doing that shit anymore." Saylor informed her.

"Good." Peterkin said plainly. "You kids are gonna get yourself in a situation you won't be able to get out off if you do" she warned. Saylor nodded in acknowledgment. A knock on the door cut through the incredibly tense atmosphere. "Come in!"

"Ward is here to collect you." Officer Plumb announced before waking out closing the door behind her.

"Ward?! Why is Ward here?!" Saylor asked completely and utterly confused.

"We rang your mother and she isn't on the island so has sent Ward to come and get you." The sherif explained leading Saylor out of the door. On one hand Saylor was happy to have confirmation her mother wasn't in the Outerbanks. On the other hand her mother knows about the boat and she has to leave with Ward Cameron.

"Saylor" Ward nodded at her in greeting as he finished signing the paper work. "Let's get you out of here." He smiled at her tilting his head telling her to follow him as he turned to leave. She was hesitant but obliged.

Once they were in the expensive car Saylor broke the silence. "Ok cut the shit, what the hell is happening?!"

"Your coming to midsummers" he announced his eyes focused on the road ahead.

"What?! Have you lost your mind. I am not going anywhere with you or your family!" She argued.

"oh is that so?"

"Yes it is so" she nodded confidently.

"Then you won't mind if I turn this car around and get that Maybank boy sent to Juvie?" He asked smugly. "A long criminal record that boy has." Saylor gulped, she knew how much power Ward had on the island and she knew he is ruthless so sending away a Pogue wouldn't phase him. "That's what I thought. It will be good for people to see you and Rafe together in public before the wedding."

Saylor felt like a pawn in her mothers game. A tiny chess piece she would strategically move in order to win the game. "Your mother has sent you over a dress to match Rafes suit."

Saylor hadn't spoke a word since she arrived at the Cameron house. She was now stood in front of a full length mirror staring at the light blue dress that clung to her chest tightly but loosened into a flowing skirt with a high slit.

"You look... wow" Rafe complimented as he stared at the girl in awe. His baby blue suit matched her dress perfectly and she wanted to run. Ignoring him she walked straight out the house and into one of the cars that had been arranged to take them to the event.
