"There she is," Hank said revealing to the entire group a broken plane.
"Well that's lovely," Conrad said looking at it,
Hank has a smile on his face, "Damn right."
"Can this thing even float?" Slivko ass.
"Me and Gunpei spent six years of our lives to building this thing. It's call the Great Fox and she flots." Hank said, "I pulled the engine parts from my P-51 and his old Zero. On a B-29 on the beach one dya out or something."
A smile appeared on Danielle's face, "Impressive."
"Impressive?" Houston shouts, "This machine is made out of pure tetanus."
"I know she isn't pretty to look at but it's nothing a couple of extra hands can fix." Hank said, "Unless you got a better idea, I suggest we get cracking."
Conrad nods, "Alright," He turns to everyone, "Come on."
~SKULLISLAND~
As the men were working, Mason went to take some photos, but Danielle remain on the boat. She was listening to the loud music playing. As the men were working, she offered her help many times, but Hank said a lady shouldn't be doing a man's job.
"So we've got forty-eight hours to make it to the North Shore." Conrad said, "Slivko, did yo get any luck back there?"
Danielle glanced, Slivko was working on the engine of the boat. He seemed to be struggling but won't admit it.
"Yeah, pop's a mechanic." Slivko said, "I can't fix this, he'll disown."
A small smile escaped Danielle's face, but then hears Hank sound shocked hearing of events happening while he was here on this island.
"Hold up on that, Churchill," Hank said to Conrad, "Russia was our ally. Now you say we're at war with them?"
"Yeah, it's uh-." Conrad was cut off.
"It's more of a cold war," Danielle said with a small smile as she sat with her legs hanging off the boat.
"The Cold War like- that they take the summers off?" Hank was confused.
Danielle lightly laughs and shakes her head. Hank rubbed his hand through his hair and then turns to the men again. Nieves, instead of working was just resting, and Houston went with San for resources like fresh water and some food for their trip.
"What about the Cubs?" Hank asks, "The cubs owned a world series yet?"
"The Cubs?" Slivko spoke up, "No, not even close. Were they ever good?"
"That is my team. Where are you from?" Hank asks.
"Detroit." Slivko said.
Hank turns to Danielle, who he noticed was listening in the conversation, and points to her as a way to ask her without asking her where she is from.
