Back at the bar and grill, every one work as a team. Emma, MJ and David stayed in doors where it was safe for them. They watch from different windows to see every one working as bees over the next few hours. They saw more media show up after the first couple of hours recording every thing that was happening.
Emma got down off the chair and walk towards the exit and out side she walk over to where the coolers are and got five bottles of water out then walk over to a crew member who saw her standing there.
The media quickly zoom on to Emma wondering what she saying to the guy as she past him a bottle water while smiling then she walk over to another person then to the next.

"it almost clean up"
"Yes it is, I'll leave you get back to it uncle Pete"
"Alright, thanks for the cool water" He past her the empty bottle then pocket the one he got then return back to what he was doing.

"Thank you all for many hours of work you all have done, now before you all leave for home to freshen up, Emma got a surprise for you all" then Emma appeared
"you all done a great job now for the surprise" she said smiling
"NOW" the staff including the navy chefs from each of the boat throw cold water over them while Emma and Barry held onto the fire hose hosing the ones who miss out. Every one laugh and cheered as the cool water hit them all. When Barry turn the hose off he and Emma could see every one wet
