It was an early morning for the Ravenlock family and thankfully one of routine as well.
Brian had been the first up along with Jean-Luc, who padded off to the wake up the twins, while Brian dropped down to the kitchen to make with the breakfast stuff, leaving the twins to fight it out with Jean in regards to getting up or staying in bed.
Which mind you, was a losing battle? especially against a 200+ lb Moor Cat, that happened to love to flop the bed of pre-teens who refused to wake up on time. So yeah, they woke up alright and started to get ready for school. That being said and done, Jean padded off to join Brian in the kitchen, which was one of his favorite spots in the morning---which was more than like due to the breakfasty type smells that came from said kitchen.
Today that was in the form of syrup?d French toast (surrendering not included), some sausage links (which Jean Luc graciously partook of) and of course juice and coffee, the latter of which assured that Brian would in fact live another day, or at the very least to the afternoon. Cause if Jenai awoke and there was no coffee?let?s just let that hang there for later. Just know it would not be a pretty sight.
After a bit of time, the twins arrived and began to make short work of that breakfast, allowing Jean to assist them in the process.
Brian on the other hand, just stood by, sipping his coffee as he did so.
Then the phone rang? Brian of course picked up.
?Good Morning, Ravenlock residence.?
?Dockside, there?s another boat. What?s left of one. I saw it while chucking rocks. Far end of the pier near that little isle where everyone swears there?s a mermaid.?
The voice sounded somewhat nervous, the statement caused a brow to raise as Brian replied.
?Who is this??
?I think it?s happening again, it?s back. They?ll need help. There was a lot of blood, no bodies.?
Wait--- chucking rocks? Merma---what?s left? boat and blood? it?s back? No bodi---
?The black...?
There was no reply, yet Brian could hear the breathing on the other end. ?Is that you--??
?Yes? No. I want to be anonymous. I just wanted you to know. I?m sorry for calling like this, I know you took some time off, but you needed to know first, since you worked on this before.?
?Stay safe.?
?You too.?
*click*
Brian reset the hand set and quickly snagged a nearby paper, jotting the entire conversation down in a hastened manner. ?Girls, get a move on!?
?Already out the door, Dad-Chacho! We got Jean too, see ya later Pops!?
Then the phone rang once more and Brian quickly picked up.
?Ravenlock res?Yes, this is he. Yes, alright. A boat? Far end of the pier, Isle-side? Blood and wrecked. And they want?alright, we?ll respond. Also get a hold of Jubal, Doc and Waterman. Have them meet me at the scene in Dockside. Also, have the locals get that scene secured, no one in or out. NO media? Also see if anyone can get some type of a registry number if possible, I?ll get a hold of Kerri. Yeah, no- it?s okay, I don?t mind. Stay safe and see you at the scene.?
Brian hung up the phone and then dialed another number, as he scratched out a note for Jenai.
?Kerri? Yeah, I just got a call?you too? Alright good. What?s your 20? Gym? Good, then snag my files on the previous dockside incidents with the boats. Also anything else we got from the 19th, and meet me there. I also had dispatch send out for Jubal, Doc and Waterman, too. Yeah, I think it?s back too. If it is, we?re in for a busy summer. Alright, see you there.?
Hanging up the phone, Brian then taped that note for Jenai to the coffee machine.
Babe,
Went to Dockside for a Call Out, working some case with a boat. I?ll be back soon, I love you!
PS: Breakfast is in the oven!
PSS: I love you.

Opting for some comfortable clothing in which to work the scene with, Brian opted for some blue jeans, work boots and a short sleeved 27th shirt of black.
So out the door he went, his duty belt slung around his shoulder as he took the steps of unkindness with no effort at all. Soon he was out the gate and bound for the Dockside, as a myriad of scenarios began to play out in that head of his.
None of which ended too well, for any involved? Especially if it really was, what Brian had said it was over a year past.
