In Search Of The Elusive Mermaid

CHAPTER 6/UNDERDOGS

Jose never saw anything out of the ordinary....he just felt the rope jerked violently he started to pull hard on the rope.....and at the same time the old man was pulling him up.....as he reached the surface....he felt the old man pulled him out of the water.....what happened....he shouted ......I don't know...he answered....the old man ran to his car and brought back this brand new speargun....he had purchase years ago to hunt down this mermaid himself....give me the tank....he yelled...Jose declined.....why...he said...let me go find him you wait here...the old man grabbed him by the the suit collar with both hands.....you don't understand i waited too long for this moment let me have the tank....Don Carlos was a fiesty old man but the excitement was a little too much for him....for he held his chest as he was about to fall....Jose held him and carried him to the truck....Jose knew a heart attack when he saw one...he drove quickly to the nearest clinic....he was concern about what happened to Samuel but this seemed to be most urgent at the moment

Samuel was scared....he was now regretting this quest for revenge....he sat holding his head....his eyes got accustomed to the dimness of the grotto...he looked around to see if he could muster any hope to get out of this situation alive....his eyes caught sight of a shinny object a few feet from where he was.....it was among-st one of the remains he slowly reached out to retrieved it.....it was a gold enclava... he wiped away the mud so he could read an engraving.....it said {SANDRA} weird he thought.....for this was the name of his mother...he reached down for a watch and an old weathered wallet...he flipped it open taking out a drivers license...as he read the name ARTURO BONILLA...he gasped...for now he understood....this wallet belonged to his father....he was kneeling now...the fear was gone....for he now knew he had to let his mother know that she was not abandoned....she needed closure

Samuel was determined now, he had gathered all his gear....a bunch near the water....he started to familiarize himself with his surroundings.....he figured that the only entrance was where he came in from...he looked at the still waters...then it dawn on him....if this is where the mermaid lives he will be back soon...he looked around the cave and saw a compilations of rocks rising about eight feet from the ground.....soon it will get dark....he hurriedly climbed to the top of the rocks....he accommodated himself with his back against the wall of the cave with a knife in hand, speargun by his side and his faithful flashlight in his next hand....soon the darkness consumed the little light there was.....it got pitch black...he tried to keep his mind occupied thinking of what could have happened to Jose and the old man....he wondered if they couldn't find the entrance.....something must have happened to them....he was going through these thoughts process when he heard a familiar splash.....he kept very quiet.....all he could depend on now was his hearing...this thing started with this infernal hiccup sound.....EEEEEEK.......EEEEEEEEEEEEKK......followed by the weird growling sound......more like a loud purr.....he gripped his knife harder.....this went on for what seemed for hours......then all he was hearing was a heavy breathing with the sound of his tail swishing from side to side......this was going to be a long night.....Samuel promised that if he survived the night he would make an attempt to leave this cave no matter what

Meanwhile Jose had reached the hospital in the city.....for the clinic wasn't equipped to tend to heart attacks the old man was on a respiratory gadget....and was now being tend to by experience doctors.....he was worried sick about Samuel...but he could not leave the old man for he was unconscious and he was the only person there for him....he was indeed in a very dramatic dilemma.....the old man was barely hanging to life.....the doctors put him on a life support system...Jose was anxious to get back to the rock...he feared the worst for his friend....it was a terrible feeling....all he could do was hope for the best
