10 years after the tragic death of her parents, Corinna McAllister finds herself in the center of the public's attention. Will the McKeller boys rescue her from the public's accusations or will they only make things worse?
Karson: Kam. Kam: What? Karson: Did you see that it's the 10 year anniversary of the McAllister tragedy? Kam: Why are you so fascinated with that family? Didn't the middle daughter cause the explosions? Karson: That's what the world seems to think. I don't think so though. She was more traumatized than anyone else. I want to know her point of view. Kam: You need to give it up. It's not like she'll ever speak out about it Karson: I'll find a way. She fascinates me Kam: So does every other conspiracy in the world Karson: But I don't believe any of them. Besides, this one's different. This is about a girl whose parents died in a horrific tragedy when she was eleven years old. Kam: I see where it fascinates you but how do you plan on getting to find out her story? Karson: How well can you handle the fjords? Kam: Karson you wouldn't Karson: They don't live there anymore. I'm a journalist, I'm known for it here. I want to go around and ask about the Tragedy of the McAllister's. Kam: I doubt you'll hear anything you want to hear. Karson glares at Kam before Kam stirs a bit Kam: Where do they live now? Karson: An hour from here Kam: Karson the fjords are farther from here than they are Karson: So we can go to see them? Kam: I can't stand your ambition Karson: Admit it, you love the adventures Kam: Get in the car.

Corinna is watching tv when she sees red text at the bottom of her screen. Suddenly her phone buzzes with the same message. She changes the channel to the news News Anchor: This just in, we have huge breaking news. The nations favorite journalists are in town.

I always hoped you'd be on my side Cobe: How can two male models become the nations biggest journalists? They're not even known for modeling anymore Corinna: Why do you care if they're known for modeling or not? Cobe: Corinna, Karson McKeller's most popular photo shoot has been your Lock Screen for three years now Corinna: Oh shut up Cobe: I'm just saying Corinna's phone buzzes again. With a sigh she opens the text message.

Cobe: You're sarcastic all the time Granna: You get it from your father, and he got it from your Grandpa McAllister Cobe: Is it true that Grandpa McAllister is searching for the remains of the ship? Granna: Your grandpa built that ship Cobe. He was looking for the other letters, the 'C' specifically. He's supposed to return within the next year Clarissa: How is he not afraid that something tragic will happen to his crew Granna: There have been many safety precautions invented because of your parent's tragedy. Multiple detectors have been tested and tested again before they were placed on the ships now. The S.S. Sylvia is supposed to be the safest ship on the water. Corinna: Grandpa built that ship after your marriage. Cobe jumps up from the couch startled Cobe: Why is everyone in this house so quiet?? Granna: You're correct Corinna Clarissa: Sylvia McAllister?? Granna: Sylvia Grant McAllister Clarissa: I've always known you as Granna. I guess I never thought to ask your name Granna: Well I am your grandmother after all Corinna grins while everyone else laughs. She feels a buzz in her pocket. Upon seeing an unsaved number, she quietly walks back to her room.

Kam: Did you get a response? Karson: I did, despite your lack of faith in me. We're meeting at the coffee shop at 3 tomorrow Kam: Did she sound interested in talking to you or just clearing her name? Kam smirks at Karson's sudden change in expression Karson: I'm sure she's just overwhelmed Kam: I don't know Karson, she may not be as into you as you are her Karson: Shut up. That's not why I'm doing this Kam: Don't act like you haven't been reading about her all day. Karson: I've only been reading the conspiracies surrounding her Kam: Mhm sure Karson: Shut up Kam, you're not coming with me Kam: You really think I wanted to interrupt your dream? Karson: That was so nice yet cruel at the same time Kam: I'm your brother. That's my job Karson rolls his eyes as Kam walks out of the hotel room. He looks down at the notebook on his desk and realizes the unintentional heart he drew next to Corinna's name. Karson: Damn it He quickly erases the heart despite the damage it's already done. He closes both the notebook and computer before grabbing his room key and following after his brother. Karson: You didn't see that Kam laughs and without a word pushed the elevator button to go down to the lobby.
