I started swimming toward the cave. But that's when I heard a screech through my radio. All that came through was, "OH... SHAR...!!" I couldn't see what was going on. But someone came on the radio. It was Lizzy,"Okay, I think that's enough searching for one day. We will check in tomorrow." I swam up. When I can't find one of the boys that went down with us, I ask, "Where's Conner?" I look at the dark water. Waiting for home just appear out of the darkness. "I'm afraid that he is no longer with us," Lizzy assured me. Then I realize that two other boys and one girl is missing. What happened? I can't help it but ask, "Where is Kassy? And the other boys? What happened to them?" Lizzy looked at me with a concerned face. "I can't have anyone else going in the ocean today. I think it's time to get some shut eye," she says. Oh I will. I will, indeed.

I get in bed and the lights turn out. I pretend to sleep. Seconds later, I don't hear anyone else moving around. I get up and go to the audio room and take my radio with me. I walk down the hall and in the room, closing the door behind me. I plug my radio in and turn it where the last audio was recorded on it. "OH... SHAR..." was the last audio, besides the announcement Lizzy made. I fixed it a little. Now it says, "OH MY... SHAR..." Another twist in the wires. Now it says, "OH MY GOSH! SHAR..." What is it? Tell me! One last tweak and, "OH MY GOSH! SHARK!!" I fell back in my chair. I thought they went extinct. I looked through the cameras and looked around the ocean. I look at the heat waves. There's me. There's the other kids. Oh! There they are. I see a large figure through the heat waves. I peer through cameras again. The picture almost made me jump out of my skin. I am now stating into the eye of the Great Eyed Shark. I almost screamed. But I remembered that there is a room of sleeping people down the hall who will skin me alive if I scream loud enough for the robots to find us. I might also give them a heart attack. But it's okay, the shark can't get me here.
Wait. This picture is wrong. The shark has... no, it can't be. Legs? It will strangle us alive! What if it learns how to walk on land. Endangering the lives of us all. I have to warn everyone in the whole world that there are Great Eyed Sharks that have legs. They will end life as we no it. But I can't tell them. At least, not yet. They're still asleep. I save the photos of it swimming around. "It won't be long till we die out, leaving you ruling the world," I whisper to the shark. As if it can hear me. This, is very urgent. I would tell Gordon if I could. The world is at my sake.
