The Cahills had decided the day before to go to the beach that was a short walk from where the mansion stood. Sinead was packing up her sunset orange beach bag.

Sinead's POV

Let's see. I think to myself; sunblock, my black sunglasses, and a towel.

"That works, I'm sure if I forget anything someone else will have it." I say aloud, though no one is around to hear me. Then I changed into a white bikini and was about to leave when I heard a knock on my door.

"Sinead? Can I come in?" Hamilton. I still hadn't forgiven him for the explosion that had put my family out of the Clue Hunt and gave my brother crippling headaches and caused the other one to become mostly blind.

"What do you want?" I demand angrily. Hamilton opened the door and Sinead glared at him.

"I just wanted to let you know that Ned is having another of his migraines and he was asking for you." My glare quickly turned to a look of concern. I push pass Hamilton and run downstairs to see what Ned needed.

When Sinead got downstairs she rushed to where her brother laid on the sofa. Surrounding Ned was his brother Ted, Amy, Dan, and the Holt twins.

"Ned! Are you ok?" Sinead asked taking his hand. "Do you want to stay here? I can stay with you in case you need anything." Ned moaned something unintelligible into the pillow he was resting his head on.

"It's ok Sinead. I'll stay with him you can go to the beach with everyone else." Ted answered for his brother.

"But Ted…" I protest.

"It's ok. Go."

I nod and follow Dan outside, a tears welling up in my eyes.

Dan's POV

Amy walked with Sinead down the sandy trail to the beach. I followed close behind, intent on spying on my sister.

"So, where's the Kabras?" Sinead asked, suddenly realizing they weren't with the rest of the group.

"Ian is staying at the house doing who knows what, and Natalie left early." Amy explained.

Amy always somehow knew where everyone was albeit she was the least social one.

Sinead smirked. "Of course, you know that."

Amy raised an eyebrow, her jade eyes accusing. "Are you implying something?"

"Just that you are madly in love." Sinead dropped her voice to a half whisper for dramatic effect. Of course, Amy blushed.

Ian's POV

I glare at the strange containers full of a colourful liquids that I didn't recognize. How in the world am I going to switch it out? The current project that Ned and Ted were working on is spread out on the table in front of me in the lab. The problem was that I couldn't tell what substance was what. Finally I decide to call Natalie. My doubts are getting to me.

"Hey Natalie….Yeah well I have a better idea to get back at the Starlings boys….Well what if they see that it was switched...Alright just hurry up and get here!" With that he hung up and walked out of the lab.

Amy's POV

Back at the beach the rest of the Cahills were splashing around in crystal clear, blue, water. A chicken fight was going on with Sinead and myself on a team versus Madison and Reagan.

Naturally, the Holt twins won but it was still fun. I scan the beach and see Dan and Hamilton are throwing a Frisbee in ankle deep water, and Natalie was laying out on a towel up on the white sand tanning.

As I watched, Natalie picked up her phone and, after having a short conversation and looking very irritated, got up without a word and left back towards the mansion, leaving her stuff behind. Finding this strange and unlike her, I point it out to Dan and we quietly follow her.
