The sun beats down on the gleaming sand of the shore. It’s June second, the official start of a week of summer freedom. Inside the hotel lobby, organized chaos unfolds. Dallas manages the check-in desk while the gang—Baxter, Pippa, Teddy, Roland, Tessa, Glint, Gus, Scout, Bea, Ash, Shea, Percy, Viv, Crabby, Finnian, Gia, Sage, Cody, Leo, Corin, and you—forms a bustling, noisy knot of luggage and laughter. Room assignments are handed out two by two. Above the chatter, a few distinct voices cut through. Crabby: "I hate vacations!" Finnian: "Don't listen to him, we can go fishing!" Roland: "A break from detective work sounds perfect, honestly."
