Stefan Hooper stepped out of the hotel after a very long shift. One solid week of working at the Pirate Ship Restaurant was not exactly where he thought he'd end up with his education. But then again, the hotel and surrounding area did make up for it but a huge margin. There had been rumors of Mr. Ridgemount wanting to build another restaurant for an older crowd, but the bar seemed to have put a hold on those plans.

"Today's the day that bar's opening." Stefan thought "I should have some time open for an hour or two to visit."

The bar was something that was definitely built with the older crowd in mind, if they had the time later on in the evening or night, just to relax after a long day at the hotel. Of course, rules had to be in place for the bar since it was at a family resort and Mr. Ridgemount did want to keep it that way, while at the same time wanting to gear something more for the adults then kids, or at least had more young adults and adults without kids in mind than with and older surfers to have their own little space. It didn't really stop those with, as long as they didn't go overboard they would be all right in Stefan's mind, but there was no guarantee that they would pace themselves or go overboard with their orders. The bar seemed to be one seemed to be one of the many things that the founder and CEO of Surfer's Paradise wanted to include in order to expand the hotel and again, attract people to go and stay there. He thought it might have been some sort of sign of things to come at the hotel, other than the new change of with him and Naomi in their respective positions. The past couple of days, he could only assume that Honey must have gone through some serious pre-opening training as a last-minute thing for her own position in preparation for this night. It was early for anyone to assume that Honey, and anyone else working at the bar, would be under a tremendous amount of stress that day. Stefan making a mental note, reminding of wanting to visit the bar to see if he could say 'Hi' to Honey, if it was possible to even speak to her, since he assumed that she would be fairly busy when it opens. He expected there to be quite a lot of people there to check it out like he wanted to do. So actually, sitting down and talking to Honey may be out of the question, at least on something one on one with no interruptions.

The question now was what to do with his evening until that time. It didn't take too long of a walk for him to hear some very excited shouts and whooping coming not that far away from him. Stefan's gaze eventually coming across a small group of teens with surf boards in hand.

"Not surprising, considering who usually comes here to stay." Stefan thought.

He continued on his way after a quick look the kid's way. Following the path to the beach for a quick relaxing walk, or maybe a bit of a sit down in the sand. The crowd around the beach told him that, obviously that it was fairly busy, which didn't really surprise too much as it was the biggest attraction of the hotel, all things considered, so it didn't seem that off that the area was pretty full. A little too much for his liking, at least for him to go and walk up and down it.

"I think I'll try finding Kahuna and see if I can get him to give me a lift downtown." Stefan thought, wandering the beach's path. "It'll probably be worth my time for a few hours."

Fin stretched her back after another rough room. Things were picking for the summer a little though and it was showing, despite the rooms that she had to face.

"One more room, fifteen more minutes." Fin muttered. "This better be a small job."

As the group of thoughts filtered, the one-hour long lunch break came up. It was cut down to forty minutes with two ten-minute breaks during the day. The first break was in the morning was a short, nice little break of a long shift, and there were some implications that they would gain their twenty minutes again for lunch in the future. If they proved themselves responsible enough Fin guessed or something like that. It would be good to have an extra twenty minutes for catching waves without feeling rushed for eating her lunch before going back to work. Thinking over what she wanted to eat before getting her session. Something light and fast.

"How ya holding up?" Rosie asked

"All right. I've been doing this for like, three years." Fin replied

"And I've been doing this for a little over twenty with no school breaks." Came a retort "Your break's coming up soon?"

"Yeah it is."

Rosie gave a small nod "Then let's finish up this floor up together, every other floor can wait. And there doesn't seem to be any emergencies."

"Right."

The two pushed forwards down the hall, there were five more on this floor if she remembered. She hoped that they weren't overwhelmingly horrible to clean up the rooms, since they did house single people in them. So, nothing too over the top difficult, Fin could imagine for the two of them to tackle, despite the occasional bad room that popped up the past couple of years.

Room one; was not that bad in the end, not too much to pick up off of the ground, A pair of socks on the ground, a pair of shoes under the bed. From the looks of the room, it was more than likely belonged to a younger, single guy lived in there. Not that young but old enough, clearly, to be trusted to be on his own. It was the same in the bathroom, some stuff casually thrown on the counter, as was the kitchen with a couple of pizza boxes cluttered on the counter. Taking to time to clear up what was needed, and went to a quick run down of the usual with Rosie, once the other messes were taken care of.

The second room was much cleaner than the first. As if whoever was in that room really wanted to make the maid's job a lot easier, at least for one room. So, this wasn't a hard to do, not taking too long for the pair to finish whatever the routine she had going on for cleaning.

Third room was essentially had a bedroom that looked like a small fashion show exploded in the area. Fin questioning what and why this situation happened. A little bit of how thrown in there as well. She proceeded to fix up the clothing while Rosie vacuumed the floors. The bathroom had a fairly faint sent of several perfumes in it, leading Fin to assume that some was dropped by accident. She didn't think that there was a lot that she could do about the smell and went on her way with her routine.

The fourth was more or less like the first, if the person was a few years older and had some consideration for the cleaning staff like the second room and made some sort of attempt of making things half way decent to clean up. Nothing else that Fin saw was worth noting she continued, shoving the old bed sheets into the laundry basket, she caught up with Rosie after she finished off making it. The fifth being the same as the last, with nothing a whole lot to note about. Fin caught up with Rosie after she grabbed a pillow case. Rosie made her way to the elevator going down.

"It's gonna be so good to hit the waves." Finn said with a small smile.

Rosie looked over her way. "You've earned it kid."

"Thanks."

Once they ditched the laundry in the washing machines, Finn almost immediately took off to the locker room to get changed. Throwing everything haphazardly into her locker and into her two-piece bikini, running off as fast as she could to grab her board and a towel. Ditching her towel when she hit the sand, she charged towards the water, throwing the board on the water and nearly jumping onto it in excitement. Finn swam out, glancing at surroundings for the right wave to start her session on. Some of the waves looked like they had died out a minute or two ago, though there did seem to be a few hints that more were on their way.

It made sense, waves didn't always die out massively in the middle of the day. Getting the sense that another run of waves on the way, Finn took the opportunity to get her lunch session started. Going forwards she was soon proven right as another wave started. Pushing her board forwards, she eased her way on the wave a little to gage how the wave ride was going to go. Once liking it, she immediately popped up onto her board and just started riding to her hearts content. She grinned as she felt the wind blasting through her hair, reeling her way up the wave for a quick aerial flip. The clean wave seemed to be on going for quite a while, giving Finn the perfect opportunity to continue. Catching another surfer coming up from behind her, thinking that they might obnoxiously pass her on the wave, but they ended up moving up the wave for a helicopter maneuver, landing nicely more in front of her. Almost instantly thinking she knew the other surfer, intriguing her to no end. Once the duo got off of the ending wave, Finn sat on her board as she let the small waves catch her up with the other surfer.

"Stefan? I thought I recognized you." Finn said "I didn't know you could surf."

"Yeah, it's been a couple of years. But I've been around several beaches and it's great to get back on the waves again." Stefan responded

"That was awesome!" Reef declared, swimming on his board beside the duo.

Stefan merely smiled and gave a short nod. The small group ending up in a small conversation before deciding to do another round on the waves, losing themselves in the session.

"What time is it?" Fin asked suddenly when they grouped up again.

"12:42. Why?" Stefan answered, checking on his watch.

"Just thinking about eating something quick." She answered

"And here I thought you were gonna say that we should get ready for work." Reef teased

"Psst, yeah right. Let's gat back to shore anyways, I'm pretty sure you're getting hungry too."

Fin was the first to swim off, followed by Reef, both were exchanging jokes as they did so. Stefan following suite himself after a few seconds, mostly being distracted by the people around him, only to see that the younger two were already running up the beach, more than likely discussing what they were going to eat before work. Despite wanting to talk a little bit more, Stefan couldn't blame them for wanting to do their own thing. Or at least delay as much as they could before getting back to work and squeeze as much fun as they could on the last couple of minutes in their lunch break.

Picking up his board, he jogged his way up the beach, mulling over what he wanted to do before his own shift that afternoon. It was only a few hours that particular day, since it was a last-minute thing on what was suppose to be one of his days off, but with the break that he did get he felt like he had quite a bit of fun. Not that he would complain, he liked breaks just as much as the next person, there was just something about work that gave him something to do that was also quite enjoyable. Something that wasn't that bad to pass the time, especially if it some something he liked to do and he got payed on top of that. Eventually heading up to the Hotel, Fin and Reef were already making their way to the staff locker rooms, Stefan noting that they had Beaver Tails in hand. No doubt that someone got those for them.

"Not the most nutritious lunch in the world, but it's something I guess." Stefan thought.

One quick shower later, Stefan stretched a little before looking over at the time.

"1:15. Looks like I'm making pretty good time." He thought "Though I think I might wanna hurry a tad."

What he had was essentially two parts afternoon shift and one-part evening shift, by most standards anyways. That days' shift starting at one thirty. Changing into his uniform was fast enough, it was more or less a fairly descent walk to get from his room to the Dining Hall, on a busy day with the crowd at least. Depending on the crowds at least that happened to be on the way. Being thankful that the halls were clear, with very little resistance from the elevator. A quick dash from the slow coming elevator to the Pirate Restaurant with ten minutes to spare, giving Stefan a little bit of breathing room and wonder what he was suppose to do with the spare time. Other than get ready and start early. Noting that Robin also ran into the kitchen a few minutes after him in a bit of a panic.

"You're good kid." Stefan said "You're early."

Robin looked relieved at this reassurance. Relaxing stance quite a bit as he walked his way more into the room, throwing a smile at Stefan.

"Good, you two are here." A haggard Kelly said, rushing in. "It's way crazy out there right now, more than usual."

"Right, what's first?" Stefan asked

"A family of six wants a few rounds of fries and breaded fish, one wants some calamari, a duo wants the 'Lover's Plate', and three are complaining about the muffins as usual." Kelly dumped "And that's just the start of things, I'm sure."

"Let me guess about the muffins, not enough blueberries?" Stefan playfully asked

Kelly gave him a smirk "Yes, how did you know?"

The mock friendliness and happy tone were not subtle at all in the conversation. Stefan rolled his eyes at this in an "Of course" at guessing the muffin situation right. Going on his way to get started on cooking, a few other cooks were already there, more than likely having been there for a few hours and were going to leave their shift soon. Robin following fairly close behind, more or less to help out with anything large, like the family of six. Some of the other cooks were starting on the other orders, leaving the bigger family of six order to him and Robin. Stefan giving some instructions to Robin in a low voice as they prepped to work, the younger nodding in understanding as he spoke. The duo diving into their fairly large order that Kelly gave, getting through it fairly fast. The rest of the shift went smoothly, if slowly, despite the fast start, the occasional spike coming here and there. Evening and night shifts were usually the busiest out of every other times of day in his experience, and it looked like the evening shifts here were no different maybe rivaled by lunch hour, mostly due to the number of people that filter through. And the fact that they were out most hours of the day helped as well. At least that's what the last couple of days told Stefan at least. Continually keeping an eye out on Robin, more or less because he was not used to the rush and stress of being in the kitchen like doing this. So far, he seemed to be doing all right, but it seemed to be hard to hell. Sometimes he seemed to be full of energy and at other times he just seemed a little sluggish. For the people that came into the Dining Hall was mostly groups of four or five, mostly leaning on the friend side in dynamic. And a lot of surfers from the sounds of things on top of that.

The last of the evening shift seemed to fly by and before the small group knew it, they were filing through the last of the restaurant customers and finishing up the last of the dish washing. Eventually filing out themselves to enjoy the rest of the evening, or night, now that they closed up the restaurant. Robin signing that he was going to his, Kelly leaning on the wall rubbing her temples a bit, and everyone else were going else about their own business. Following Robin, Stefan noted that he looked tired out that day, telling him that he should just get some rest that night, not getting any arguments from the kid. Stefan's thoughts then turning to the bar again, smiling.

"This should be fun." He thought "Opening say. Exciting stuff."

Stefan glanced up and down the bar once he finally got there. A few people were going their way inside, doing some last-minute preparations, before the late-night customers make their way in. A few people coming up around Stefan, more than likely wanting to get in there first, like him. He glanced down at his phone briefly to check his phone to see the time.

"Oh, so close." Stefan muttered, then grinned "Can't wait."

Noticing a hurried Honey passing by, giving last minute directions to her co workers. Time slowing for him and the surrounding crowd, he could only assume that time was going supersonic for the bar workers. Before long, the doors opened for the group, people's eyes lit up quite a bit in anticipation. Stefan strolling in almost lazily into the bat after the early bird crowd and allowed himself to soak in the small area. The smaller area had a stark difference from the rest of the hotel. Quite a lot of darker reds and blacks were everywhere, lots of couches surrounded the walls on the left of Stefan, tables surrounded the right. Some big for groups, some smaller for singles and couples. It seemed like the furniture was placed in a way that there was a clear path to the bar, indicating that one should go there before picking their place to sit. Most of the customers were still there, while others started to find spots for groups. Most of the crowd of course, were closer to their early twenties while others that were just coming in being more in their early thirties.

"Hey hey! Look who decided to show up!" Honey declared, walking up to Stefan while behind the bar.

"I couldn't pass the opening for the world." He said

"What'll it be." Honey asked "The first drink it free, but I think I may have to cap it off for most at five. Ten for the responsible drinkers."

"Let's ah… try a Paradise Punch." Stefan said after looking down at the menu

"Coming right up."

"A nice drink would be the Bees Knees." Came the familiar drawl of Kahuna, strolling up beside Stefan.

"You better be talking about the saying and not the Prohibition Era drink." Honey said, popping up from behind the bar.

"I understand the confusion, I was talking about the saying. I'll take the South Side."

"Sure thing!"

"I didn't take you for a drinker." Stefan commented

"No, I'm not. Not really, but sometimes I do. Just on special occasions like today, and the full moon." Kahuna nodded "Even then, it's one or two."

Stefan nodded back a little in understanding, Honey swinging in with their drinks.

"Here ya go!" She said

"That was fast." Stefan said

"I'm a fast worker. Well, that's what people tell me at least."

Kahuna took a sip of his drink a Stefan looked over Honey's way with some admiration, before taking a sip of his own drink.

"Good stuff." Kahuna complimented

Stefan hummed in agreement as he took another sip of his drink.

"I'm just so glad that this is starting out so well." Honey started, leaning on the bar counter.

Stefan raised an eyebrow. "You were expecting a different outcome?"

"I guess so. It's the first day and I guess from experience something wrong during that time." She said with a humph.

"Dunno what I can say to that." Stefan muttered, swirling his drink.

"Things are looking all right tonight." Kahuna said "Probably gonna stay that way."

The trio glanced around the room, soaking in the ambience and looked over the pleased crowd. Some bar workers delivering drinks to various groups and the occasional dish to others. Kahuna and Stefan finished off their drinks, Stefan another Paradise Punch before Honey was called to another table. Stefan and Kahuna turning to talking to each other for the next half an hour as the crowd filtered in and out of the bar. Mostly about everything they could think about at the moment. Stefan taking his time this around with the second punch that he ordered. The duo eventually becoming content with just watching the crowd filter through for the next couple of minutes. Kahuna ordering some food for them as they enjoyed the ambience of their surroundings. Honey after some time came back to join them as they were chowing down on their snack.

"How's the food?" She asked

"Fantastic. Couldn't ask for anything better." Kahuna answered

"Pretty good. But then again, I'm a chef and I have some high standards I guess." Stefan replied

Honey rolled her eyes at Stefan's comment before continuing her conversation.

"You don't know anything about these two little gremlins that run around the hotel?" She asked suddenly "About ten? Them and their parents apparently come to the hotel every summer from the U.S?"

Kahuna's eyes lit up almost immediately while Stefan looked at her with some confusion. They sounded familiar, but it didn't seem to really ring any bells.

"Todd and Mark? Unfortunately, I know em too well." Kahuna said

He pushed himself away from the bar counter a little before continuing on.

"Those two are responsible for a LOT of mishaps around the hotel." He said "The parents refuse to do anything about it and Bummer REALLY refuses to do anything about it. And those two are allowed to run around wild and free because of it of course."

"Yikes." Honey commented

"Why do you ask?" Kahuna asked

"I saw those two hanging around the bar this afternoon." Honey informed "And with that description you gave me, no good thing can come from this."

Stefan and Kahuna gave each other rightfully worried looks about it.

"No kidding. I'll keep an eye out for those two tomorrow." Kahuna said

"Same. Well as best as I can with my job." Stefan offered as well.

They finished off their evening in some tense silence over the situation, bid their goodbyes to Honey, then to each other before going to their respective places to sleep off the rest of the night.

Kahuna waking up the next day fully refreshed, if a little late, being thankful that he got Johnny to fill in his worker pick up that day. Quickly changing his clothes for a wash, tossing his previous days' clothes into the laundry. Dashing off from his little house on the beach he glanced around the area, he noted that Reef was having a particular grieving surfing student that hour. Giving a chuckle as he passed, he lightly jogged his wat past and up the path to the hotel. The destructive duo of Todd and Mark were harassing the Hotel Mascot as usual. Mostly being ignored by the apathetic crowd as he made a vain attempt to run away. Eventually tripping on something on something and the two jumped on him almost immediately. Entering the hotel, he zipped by a busy Johnny, who was desperately trying to do three things at once, Broseph was chilling and leaning on a pillar. No doubt after taking a whole lot of luggage to a room. Finn and Rosie were chickling to each other as they took one of the elevators with a few towels and what looked like bed sheets in their arms. Kahuna could only assume what kind of 'shenanigans' Emma and Kelly were getting into at the Dining Room, or even Robin and Stefan with their behind the scenes magic with food in there. He looked around the lobby after a quick walk among the people, trying his best to find a certain person. Zoning in on her he dashed over as bright as he could and gave a quick wave at her.

"Hey man, you're chipper." Honey said, sourly at worst and tired at best. "What's on your mind?"

"Can't help it on a morning like this." Said Kahuna "I was thinking about two little 'you know whos' from last night."

Honey gave a low-key glare his way. "And why is that?"

"I think you may be right about a potential evil plan if you saw them hanging around the bar yesterday." Kahuna explained. He fully expected the glare from her.

She nodded in agreement after a few seconds of thinking. It was pretty obvious to anyone that those two were trouble when anyone talked to them within the first ten seconds.

"You think they'll obviously make a move on the bar." She said

"Exactly. I just have a few questions. Mostly about locks and security cameras."

"Well yeah, there are those pretty much everywhere. The front door has a pad that needs a number code on it, and cameras everywhere. One on the front door and one on the very locked up liquor because that's expensive as hell. The other security cameras are pointed at the lounges and the hallway going to the bathrooms, as well as one in each bathroom."

Kahuna nodded in understanding at the lengthy explanation. That was good to hear that the basic measures have been taken at least. Even the best can be broken into nine times out of ten, despite the best security locks that one with money can get. Though what was worrying to him was the overly large windows and the glass doors that decorated the bar. The only really worrying part of the bar. While most can't easily break glass on their own, with a well-placed car or brick, anyone can have easy access to whatever they wanted. So, if they were oh so daring to do that, the hotel would at least have their faces on tape, if they were stupid enough to show their faces at least.

"I guess it's a matter of when more than if." Kahuna mused

"Uh yeah. So why the random question?" Honey asked

"Just curious. Those two in question are just chaotic, not smart."

"Eh, makes sense. They just wanna push their boundaries and see what they get away with. I do wanna say that not even THEY would break a glass window, but that's me being hopeful."

With that, Honey turned to continue in with her day, but quickly and briefly changed her mind on that.

"Quick random question on my part. Why hasn't Bummer done anything about the two gremlins?"

"He doesn't wanna ruin the customers' enjoyment of the hotel. Even if they're destructive little beings ruining the majority of the guests and staff's day. If the parents spend money here, they're welcome to stay."

Honey shot him a 'You've gotta be kidding me, really?' look at him, only to get a 'No, but I wish I was' look from Kahuna. Leaving the situation at hand, she was off to do what she had min for that day. Which from the looks of things would be the dining hall, Kahuna deciding to swing around to the bar for a brief look over and see if everything was all right.

"Today is gonna be a long day with this kind of tension." Kahuna thought.

Turning on his heel with satisfaction of a currently safe bar, he walked off with a small smile. Though he knew that basic paranoia would periodically make him come back time and time again, though it might have been worth it to make sure everything was all right for the rest of that day. Hoping that the things he had planned for that day would keep him busy for the most of that day.

First was looking over some of the lights that were giving some people in the dining hall some trouble, going down to the control panel in the hotel's basement to see if that was turned off, if not that then he would have to go see if there was something faulty with the wiring. Once he actually got there, it turned out that some of the lights were changed to the off position, the only easy part of the job, forcing him to look over the wiring. They did seem to not wanting to connect correctly through the two major breakers that were connecting said lights to said control panel, giving Kahuna a little bit of trouble when he actually tried to replace the old wires with some new ones to see if that would work in the slightest. Thankfully when he went back upstairs to check on the lights, they were working completely well.

The next part of his day was clearing out some seagulls out of one of the balconies of the hotel. Bummer, a person who could communicate with the bird, was out doing whatever he was doing at the time so it was up to Kahuna to get rid of the problem that day. Kahuna glared down it's way when he finally got there, the seagull clearly didn't want to move from its prized spot, only for him to see why it was there. A nest.

"Ah, of course." Kahuna said the seagull "Prime spot for your nest. People need this spot though… how abouts I help you out picking a new nesting spot and if I do, you'll leave?"

The seagull considered this for a few seconds then agreed to this. Following him out of the hotel for the next forty minutes for the best spot. Kahuna admitted to feeling frustrated about every spot he chose being shot down when he pointed them out. Eventually finding a spot from not that far away from his house much to his relief.

The next on his list was to get the group of groms to the downtown for a quick lunch break after a surf session. He saw it as a good opportunity to pick something up for him and Honey for his return. The younger kids being quicker than he though they would be, just as he got what his lunch, which he did find himself lucky that the timing was good. After his return, meeting up with Honey for a chat and food, meeting in the Dining Hall for some extra fries and a drink with what he brought, the bar still being in one piece. Emma asking Kahuna for an early morning drive so she and her friends could do a dawn patrol before their shift. Something he could happily oblige to do. The rest of the say zipping by fast, no incidents of any kind happening during that day. Both he and Stefan meeting up at Honey's bar for a chat and a drink.

"Good to see this place still in one piece." Stefan noted

"Same here. This kind of stress is not a good thing." Said Kahuna

"Here ya two go!" Honey said with some pep, passing some drinks to them before she had to leave.

Thanks, coming from the duo, immediately taking a sip as soon as it hit their hands. A moment of silence came from the two as they enjoyed their drinks.

"Any signs of the gremlins yet?" Stefan asked

"Only once, in the morning. I just assumed that they were just busy with other things."

Stefan gave a concerned 'Hmm' and took another sip of his drink.

"Let's hope that they stay busy enough for the rest of the summer to leave the bar alone."

"Same. And let's steer this conversation from this to something else."

"Right."

The rest of the second evening went without a hitch. Much to the duo's delight. Essentially going more or less to the same as previous night's conversation turning in for the night after an hour or two. The next day starting out as usual. At least compared to the majority of the past couple of weeks, other then the dawn patrol, the last morning non-withstanding with his visit to Honey. The Dawn Patrol's request for that morning was a nice break every once in a while, from the usual drive, and it must have been nice for the surfing group for them to get something early in. The rest of the morning was the usual, and was fairly busy. It seemed like a few things wanted to break down at the same time. Not a completely odd thing, most times it was frustrating when it came all at once. The bar still being in one piece whenever he passed during his fixing that morning. Putting him at some ease, despite not seeing Todd or Mark anywhere near it that day. When he finished up the latest of the broken machinery, he wiped off his hands and slowly meandered his way to the front desk.

"You've been active." Johnny commented, a little distracted.

He was concentrating on the computer, fingers flying by as he seemed to be finishing up some sort of document.

"I have been busy. It seemed like a bunch of motors wanted to break down at the same time." He replied

"That sucks bro." Broseph said "What broke?"

"A couple of motor boats and a vending machine."

Johnny's gaze flickered from the monitor to Kahuna.

"Is it bad that I blame at least the vending machine on a couple of you know who's?" He asked

"Not really."

"Hmm."

Johnny then suddenly picked up the ringing phone, almost as a sort of reflex.

"Leaving? All right, someone will be right up to help you with your bags." He said

"Aw man, looks like that's my cue." Broseph moaned when Johnny put down the phone.

He grumbled as he left for the elevator after the Johnny told him the room number and the floor. Kahuna giving a short laugh of amusement.

"What's so funny?" Johnny asked

"Oh, nothing." Kahuna started off "Just thinking about even after two years, some people just don't change a whole lot."

"I guess I never really noticed?" Johnny responded "Looks like we never really noticed until now huh?"

Kahuna nodded at that, at that moment Johnny returning with bags in hand and one other person. After a few seconds, a second person popped out of the elevator and followed. They seemed a tad stressed out and tired, but overall all right.

"Not everyone notices things like that if they'd stuck together for years and didn't step back to look at it."

Johnny attempted to process this as best as he could. Reef jogging in as Broseph finished off his little job with the bags.

"Hey guys, how's it going?" Reef asked

A trio of 'All right' came around before Kahuna continued the conversation.

"All the boat motors are fixed up and ready to go for those who need it." Kahuna updated "It was pretty easy, just needed time to get fixed."

"Cool, cool. I just had the greatest surfing lesson this morning with a real cutie." Reef said "And I got a date with her later on tonight."

Kahuna merely looked up at Reef with some amusement as the other two complimented him on what he did for later on that day. The more things changed the more things stayed the same. A few chuckles and seconds later, Emma and Kelly came charging towards the four, both had very clearly distressed look on their faces.

"Where's Naomi" Kelly demanded "It's an emergency."

"Why?" Johnny asked "What happened?"

"There's no more mini umbrellas for the fruity drinks." Reef said, as seriously as he could. Though failing massively at the time.

"Shut it Reef." Kelly snarled

"The bar's been broken into. Everything's a mess!" Emma said in a panicked tone "The liquor's been into and smashed too!"

The four gave each other a scared look as their hearts seemed to completely sink in fear.

"I'll go get Naomi, she should still be in her office." Kahuna said, then turned to instruct the others. "You guys go asset the damage."

With their instructions, the groups were off as fast as they could. When the group stumbled into the scene Johnny, Broseph and Reef immediately found that Emma and Kelly really weren't exaggerating in the slightest. The glass window was smashed by a not at all hidden brick. One of the tables were turned over as if one or more people fell into it by accident, a chair seemed to be flung part way across the room and into another. And the liquor cabinet, that was the worst of the damage. Not only was it busted through by what they assumed to be another brick, or something equally as hard, with most of the contents taken out of the of it with most of it wither poured out or smashed onto the ground unceremonious manner. The small group went through the unlocked door and tried their best to do some more assessing of the bar, Reef putting on his shoes before following.

"What in the hell happened here?" A very stunned Bummer asked

"A couple of people clearly had a field day in the bar." Reef stated, feeling like he didn't have to repeat the very obvious.

Bummer regained his composure and immediately drilled into the group. "Someone is gonna PAY for this."

"Well yeah." Reef said, a little bit of attitude seeping through.

"And I really don't think it should be us." Kelly pointed out, almost feeling that she and the others were going to take the fall somehow.

"Someone has to. Do you know how expensive this damage is?" Bummer demanded

"Very sir." Johnny said

"You can't take our pay checks away sir! It's not fair!" Emma pleaded as he walked passed them.

He inhaled a sharp breath as if to say something when he was very quickly interrupted.

"And he won't have to. Taking all of your paycheck to pay for damages can be seen as illegal."

The group looked over to the door to see Naomi, along with Kahuna and Luke, standing at the door. Both Kahuna and Luke were holding a squirming Todd and Mark each in hand.

"And I think we have the culprits in hand."

Bummer attempted to filter through what he was going to say while the others gave each other worried looks as well as 'of course'. Any sort of excuse was not coming out.

"What is the meaning if this?" A shrill Jersey voice demanded.

"Yeah! What do you think you're doing with our boys?" Her husband demanded as well.

Luke and Kahuna let the boys go and they immediately ran to their parents.

"We have evidence that your boys were responsible for the damages to the bar." Naomi informed.

"How dare you accuse our boys of this!" The mom said to her in a completely offended tone.

"We have video that I insist that you look at." Naomi said "I wouldn't have you and your boys here if I didn't think this was serious, or if they did it in the first place. Now, if you'll follow me, I think we have sufficient evidence in our favor."

The parents were about to protest when Naomi shot them a low-key glare that seemed to indicate that any sort of argument was not going to be tolerated at all.

"Baumer, I want you to come along as well." Naomi informed

"Yes ma'am." He said

With that, the small group was off to Naomi's office just as Rosie and Fin and a few other cleaning staff came charging past.

"Woah, what happened here?" Fin asked

"Two little disasters happened, that's what." Reef answered

"Of course." Rosie said

"What are you guys doing here?" Broseph asked

"Clean up crew, of course."

Reef mouthed an 'Ah' as a response as the others continued their work in the bar. Most of them were doing their own assessments of the area in complete amazement that two kids did all this damage. Some were taking pictures as well, knowing that if it was taken to court that it could be used as evidence.

"Let's stop gawking and get out of their way." Johnny suggested to Reef, who noticed he was being left behind.

The group continuing their way, not envying the clean up crew's position at the moment.

Meanwhile, a pair of very distressed parents and very guilty kids were going over their latest little stint.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't realize." Their mom said

"I'm sure you are." Naomi said with a tense smile. "This is their worst and most expensive stunt to date."

Naomi cleared her throat a little before she continued.

"And from several accounts of guests and staff workers that your boys have been harassing them, being loud, minor destruction of property on several accounts and any sort of complaints that were brought up to you or our previous Head Day Manager went completely disregarded."

The two parents gave each other a low-key guilty glance at this information while Todd and Mark were just frozen with fear at any potential punishment for finally getting caught after all these years. Of unsupervised antics.

"Now, all of these are more than enough to get you reasonably banned from not only this hotel, but all other hotels." Naomi continued "And a lawsuit for the damages for not only the broken window, but the thousands of dollars worth of liquor that was broken."

"We can pay for that…" The dad said, sensing that an argument will not help them.

"And we can't apologise enough for what happened…"

Naomi merely nodded in agreement. "Glad you're willing to do that. There's also the fact of your boy's other past actions in hotel."

"Any way to forgive and forget?"

"I don't think so. Not with this."

The room's mood seemed to immediately go from a sort of regular tense to something much worse. Naomi's answer did seem genuinely apologetic, yet warranted, to a small few.

"I'm afraid I will have to leave the hotel as soon as possible." She said

"What?" The dad asked in shock

"Not only do we have to pay for the damages but we have to leave on top of that?" The mom continued readying herself for some sort of altercation.

"Like I said, with your boys' antics and your flippant attitude, I don't think it would be fair for to let you stay in the hotel for the others here." Naomi said "Guests or otherwise."

Sensing the tension from the parents, Naomi pressed on.

"I do not wish to bring in anyone else who will be more… harsher than I am being right now."

The parents froze right there.

"Just consider yourselves lucky that I'm only doing this." She said "Now, if you'll come with me to my office, we can get the manner of payment out of the way."

Naomi indicated to the family that she wanted them to go first. Upon doing so, se then turned to a very quiet Baumer who was trying to make himself very small, and if possible, invisible. Luke and Kahuna,who were both leaning on the same back wall, glanced at each other getting the feeling that they should be the next two to leave the room too.

"Oh, and Baumer. I'm not impressed." With that, she closed the door to the security office, giving a surprisingly menacing echo while doing so.
