When morning finally rolled around, Callie was up and out of bed early. The Pogues had planned to meet up at the Chateau to check in on John B. Part of her had wanted to stay over to make sure he was okay, but she had told her parents that she would be home. They had a deal that she wouldn't have a curfew as long as she came home on the nights they expected her.

Plus, after what had happened at the Boneyard, the Pogues needed to re-evaluate their situation and what they were going to do with what they had found. After all, it wasn't just a sunken Grady-White; it was a sunken Grady-White that belonged to Scooter Grubbs. Something didn't add up.

After putting on one of her favourite swimsuits - a powder blue two-piece -, she slipped a pair of denim shorts and a shirt on top. Pulling on some socks and her Converses, she tied her hair back and grabbed her phone, only to see that it had died throughout the night. She went to reach for her charger cord when she remembered that Agatha had taken the power out. Which meant that she now didn't have a phone.

Not that it mattered, the towers were down so she wouldn't be able to do much with it anyway.

With a sigh, she opened the drawer in her bedside table and tossed her phone inside so that she'd know where it was when she could finally charge it. She just hoped they got the power back on soon; it felt strange not having her phone in her pocket.

Leaving her room she made her way to the kitchen to grab something she would be able to eat on the way to the Chateau. Walking into the kitchen, Finn was already in there eating a bowl of cereal.

"Did you end up finishing that book?" Callie asked as she went over and grabbed an apple out of the fruit bowl, leaning against the counter.

Finn nodded his head, swallowing what was in his mouth. "Yeah, I'm gonna start the second one today."

The girl smiled as she rinsed the apple beneath the tap, "Well if you finish that and need another book, just ask. I've been wanting to show you my bookshelf for years."

Her younger brother laughed as he scooped up more cereal with his spoon, "Sure thing. As long as it's none of that girlie stuff."

"Oh, of course. I'd never risk subjecting you to that," Callie replied, rolling her eyes with a grin.

"You're going out?" the boy asked, noticing how she seemed to be getting closer to the door throughout their conversation.

His sister nodded, taking a bite of the apple, "Yeah. We're just going out on the boat."

"Are you gonna be home tonight?"

Callie nodded, taking another bite. "Yeah. Not sure what time, though."
