Kali Frees Willy

Chapter 5

The next morning, Kali and Jesse went down to the amusement park and straight to there spots to park their bikes, when they heard some kind of commotion going on and Willy giving off this strange vocalization sound.  

They came down to Willy's tank and snuck over to find Rae, Randolph, and other park staff members surrounding Willy, surprised to see the whale in a net. 

"You and Dial bought Willy from some slime ball whale catcher. He was too big and too old to be caught in the first place" they heard Rae talking to the park owner's assistant, Wade. "Then you put him in a dolphin tank, alone. He's not a natural performer, and you expect me to work miracles?"  

"You're a professional, right?" Wade told Rae. "So make it work" 

Kali and Jesse looked into poor Willy's eyes and saw how distressed he looked, struggling to get out of the net. Kali didn't like Wade for allowing them to do that to poor Willy. 

"If the whale brings in customers... then we can spend some money on him" Wade told Rae. "Since he's not, make do with what you've got"

Kali then pointed out to Jesse a rope, knowing what they had to do and snuck over and pulled it, loosening the net around Willy.  

"Easy, Willy. Easy, son" Randolph tried to calm the whale as he struggled to get out of the net. 

"Untie those back lines!" Randolph yelled out to the other staff members, which they did. 

Willy then swam out from the net and back into the main tank. He was free. 

"What's going on?" Wade rushed back over with Rae. "Randolph, what happened?"

"I don't know, the net came loose" Randolph replied.  

The kids came back down and over to check on Willy to make sure that he was okay, when Randolph appeared in front of them, causing them to stop. "I saw what you two did"

"So?" Jesse and Kali asked.  

"So nothing" Randolph cut them off, then they all looked over to Willy. "I'm sure Willy's grateful"

Later, Jesse and Kali went down to the docks to try and get some fish for Willy. 

"You got any leftover scraps we could take off your hands?" Jesse asked the seller. 

"Might have" He replied. 

"Well, we got a special friend named Willy" Kali explained. 

"Why would he want scraps?" The seller asked her. 

"Well... he's a whale" Kali replied. 

"A whale?" The seller asked like these kids were joking. 

The kids were given their scraps though and were about to leave. When to their surprise, Perry showed up. He told them he offered to hook them up with a friend, Dayton for work, looking out for cops and stuff. 

But Kali and Jesse weren't interested and said they'd see Perry around sometime. 

Later, the two kids had come back to the park over by Willy's tank. Jesse threw the fish in the water then blew his harmonica to get Willy's attention. The 3-ton whale soon came up with the fish still in his mouth. 

"What's the matter, Willy?" Jesse asked confused, taking back the fish from him. "I thought you liked these things"

"You're supposed to eat it like this" Jesse demonstrated, pretending to eat the fish. "See?"

Willy shook his head no and opened his mouth, as Kali seemed to know what Willy was trying to tell them. 

"I think he wants you to put it in his mouth, Jes" The tomboy told her friend. Willy then shook his head yes eagerly and vocalized.
