Chapter Thirty-seven

It takes only a few seconds to get there, thankfully. But when I finally arrive, I see Connor face to face with. . . a shark!

Connor is frantically trying to swim up for air and the shark is pulling him back down. Who could have thought sharks would have been in such a small pool as this?

"Hey!" I shout. The shark pauses for a second to look at me. The shark show's his teeth, and his eyes become red.

"Let him go." I tell it once I have its full attention. Who knew speaking under-water was so difficult?

"No way, Jose! This is my lunch!" the shark argues, infuriated. He resumes pulling trying to bring Connor down to the bottom of the pool.

"Have you ever tasted berries?" I ask, saying the first thing that comes to mind.

"Huh?" The shark grunts.

"You heard me right. Berries."

I toss some in front of me and the shark lets go of Connor. The berries slowly swim over to the shark, and it opens it's jaws and snaps them closed, chewing on them. His eyes roll towards the back of his head as he munches on the berries.

"Swim!" I urgently whisper to Connor. I quickly grab his arm, rubbing it quickly before I let go. He nods and slowly makes his way to the surface of the pool.

"Very good, very good. Im Rico by the way." the shark says.

"Im Ally." I reply.

"Uh, pleased to meet you. . . Rico. I best be going now." I say with a nervous smile. I quickly rush towards the surface without giving Rico a chance to reply.
