A month after Raven had revealed her only untold past and everything was going great.

Abigail was fit and fine. Raven had made some improvements on it's navigation system and some other things.

The group were going great. They were literally inseparable now. Grounders and the step siblings. Madison and Travis had decided to not bother them anymore. Madison had made some kind of an oath but Travis still checked up on them and his son sometimes. The group always treated him or them with respect if they had done the same. And that was always the case. Travis was just seeing it now without Madison in his ears. Madison refused to see anything. She just had this pure rage for the group but the group mostly ignored her.

It was early morning and everyone was up. The group were all sitting around with a radio seeing if anything played on it. It was actually supposed to be Raven salvaging parts from the radio but it ended up being them hell bent on finding a song.

After hours of turning to different frequencies, Chris gave up. He was just about to turn the radio off when-

"He-Hello?" a distorted voice spoke.

Everyone's eyes widened in surprise.

"Hell-o? Is-is a-any-bod-y th-ere?" the radio crackled again delivering parts of the speech.

They didn't know what to do. Should they reply? Should they just ignore?

"Pl-ease we ne-ed he-lp" the voice crackled breaking again.

"Yes. I'm here. What happened to you? What's your name?" Chris replied without thinking.

Raven cursed, "Are you kidding me! Did I tell you to reply!? We don't even know who they are! This could be a trap!" Raven said angrily.

"They are clearly in trouble! Didn't you hear them?!" Chris argued. But he knew he made a mistake when everyone but Nick mirrored Raven's expression.

"H-Hello? Ar-e you s-till there? Can you help u-s?" the voice spoke.

This time Chris refrained himself from saying anything. But it looked like the voice was determined,

"Pl-ease. Help us! We w-ill die here! My name i-s Ja-ck. Can yo-u tell us w-he-re you are? Me and m-y si-ster, are on a b-oat and it wi-ll g-o down soon and sh-e is not we-ll!" the voice continued.

Chris asked Raven to at least ask them where they are. Raven reluctantly nodded.

"Where are you?" he asked.

The voice described the location and the group heard it to the best of their abilities given the breaking signal.

"H-Hello?! No! My si-ster! She nee-ds medicine! Sh-es not bit. She ju-" the voice got cut off.

Chris clearly panicked and blabbered their location to the random voice.

"CHRIS!! Do you realize what you just did?!" Raven exclaimed loudly taking the radio from his hands because Chris just told the location of a well loaded yacht to a complete stranger.

Chris was silent. He couldn't form words because Raven was angry. And Raven never got angry...

The group waited for the inevitable. And they didn't had to wait long. Because after about 30 minutes, Strand called out to them,

"Raven, what did you do now?" he asked from the steering room.

"What?!" Raven exclaimed in surprise and confusion.
