The Adventures of Blackwing 2: Saving Our Time

Chapter 9: It's Always a "Good Time"

"Lexie, have you ever gone on a cruise before?" I asked as we sat in the water.

"Yeah, twice, I'm just so excited to go with a group of friends, and on a mission?! Wow!" She smiled.

"How long can you hold your breath?" I asked quickly.

"About 20 seconds, why?" Lexie responded. I pointed at Eva discreetly as Lexie dove into the water.

"Zueki Tsukumo!" Eva walks toward me, furious. "I didn't find Shark,"

"Well that's not my problem," I rolled my eyes. "Maybe he's avoiding you. Or you're blind." I pointed at Eva.

"Oh really? Then explain to me why I didn't find Yuma either,"

Lexie pops up from under the water. After taking a deep breath she said. "Listen ya' little bitch, don't you have a fiance?"  Eva crossed her arms, not amused. "Or at least, those are your words. I mean where is your fiance? 'Cuz it's really funny how whenever we see you, you're alone, so explain that to me,"

"I don't have to explain anything to you," Eva taps her foot impatiently.

"Oh really?"  Lexie smirked. "Then neither do we," She pulls Eva into the water. 

SPLASH! Eva fell into the pool. She screamed an ear-shattering scream, everyone looked at the three of us.

"Why did you do that?" Eva asked, clearly anything but happy.

"Oops, I didn't mean to, you just slipped," Lexie said.

"You pulled me in!" Eva growled.

"Oh laugh it off, it's a vacation!" Lexie called as Eva walked off. "Hopefully I didn't ruin anything!"

"But then again, I hope I did," Lexie laughed as I looked scared for my life.

When we got back to our room, Shark and Yuma did not look happy, in fact, they looked like they were going to kill me. Especially Shark. "So, you pulled Eva into the water?" Shark turns to me. I gulped, shaking my head. "You're gonna lie to me now?" Shark got up.

"No sir," Lexie steps in between me and Shark. "I did it, I pulled Eva into the water, I provoked her,it was all me,"

"Why? You don't even know her,"

"With all due respect sir, I do," Lexie said, still gripping her towel.

"How do you know her?" Shark sat back on the swivel chair.

"Zueki, go change," Yuma said to me, I nodded.

Lexie's POV
"How do you know Eva?" Shark repeated. Zaynia was right. I thought. Shark is really scary when he's mad. It's terrifying.

"Um, Eva used to live in my neighborhood when I was younger. She used to do prank wars with me and my sister. I thought it would be funny to pull her into the water, but I guess she didn't like that. I already apologized to her." I responded, gripping my towel that I had wrapped around my waist.

"Alright," Yuma said.

"Wait," Shark said. I turned from the door and crossed my arms. "Were you that waitress at the Tropical Islands?"

"What no, of course not," I waved goodbye and closed the door behind me. Then I saw Eva walking up the stairs. I hide behind a trash can to watch her. She walked in one of the suites. I rolled a camera disk into the room as soon as she opened it

"I hope you're enjoying your extremely short summer vacation," Eva began. "We're not here to have fun,"

"You just said I hope you're enjoying your summer...."
