Chapter 8: A bloody find!

While mum along with the rest of our crew was gathering up things onto the boat. I got stuck with the one job that I heated the most. I was playing tour guide to this girl named Alex Chase. Doctor Chase's daughters. With something dangerous lurking out in the water this was not how I wanted to waste my time. But I had no chose. If I did not do this then I would not only have to say behind, but I would not be allowed back in the water.

Being in the water was the only place besides my house where I could feel both free and at home. And if something is threatening my waters, I want to send it packing. So, if I wanted to do that then I needed to be nice to this girl. Or my level of nice. And here we are the final stop on our tour. The show room. Wow. So, why is it called the show room. It looks like a large stadium from Ocean world. You've to Ocean world? I asked her.

Oh, yeah. Back when dad and I were still living in LA, he would take me to Ocean world every summer. I always use to love to go there and see all of the dolphins and Penguins. I mean their cutie in an annoying kind of way. And how would you know? I'm not telling you. Ok. Well, I think that I can guess why this is call the show room. And why do we call it that? Because this is where you guys do shows that involve whales. dolphins and other things too. Lucky guess. Well, the name kind of gave it away.

Good point. Well then would you mind if I ask a question? Like what? Like why would someone Los Angles want to move all the way to the land down under? Well, after on how much things in LA were becoming dangerous more and more every day. Dad had wanted to move us someplace a bit safer. And one day he had gotten a promotion, and it meant that we would have to move for his job. I mean it should have been heard but after mom and dad had split and since I had no friends.

I had hope that moving here could be the start that we both needed. So, what your mom left and what you are also saying is that you're a loner. Look who's talking. Your mom told me and my dad that you're so alone that you won't work with anyone even if they want to work with you. Well, unlike you. I chose to be alone. Will if you chose to be that it just goes to show on how friendless you are. Hey, I have friends. They're just not people and the reason why chose to not want to be around people is because I don't like people.

I can tell. I mean on this whole tour I can tell that you did not want to be around me. Was I that easy to read? Basically. You mainly come off as someone who does not seem to like people. And you would be right. I'd rather be around ocean animals than humans any day. Just then I had gotten a text message from our shark caretaker asking me.

It looks like we are going to have to end our little tour. One of the people that I do like to be around just ask me to feed some of our resident sharks. What kind of sharks are they? Great Whites. Can I see them? Huh. I griped. Fine. Come on. Once we made it to the shark exhibit.

I told Alex. Stay right here. I climbed the top of the tanks where the sharks would be feed. I had the whistled and like dogs the three sharks came out. I tap on the glass, and they came bursting out to the top.

I went to get a bucket of the shark's food which was reprised of dead fish and chum. Like vicious animals, the sharks started to snarl and chomp ready and waiting to have a taste of the blood and meat as they saw me approach the water. I then called out.

Ok, guys. Settle down. They did not listen. Settle down. I shouted. But they continue not to listen. And when they refused to, I stomp my foot hard to the ground and shouted. I said. Settle down! And then they had listened. Good.

Now before you can eat. You know what to do. Chopper. I called out to one of the sharks. He look at me and snarled at me. Hey, don't you snarl at me. Razor, He bite and bait like he was trying to bite at the water. Don't give me that. Echo, focus on me.
