Sunday, July 23th, 12am

      It was a peaceful day at Griffin Rock. Birds were singing, new flowers were blooming after a rainy night and at the sea can be heard... Screams? Someone is screaming in the seas of Griffin Rock. Was the mayor asking for rescue for the hundredth time because of his yacht? Or maybe someone got lost in the middle of the sea? No, it was no one asking for help. The screams were directed at High Tide's ship which, by his voice, didn't seem happy at all.

      "Mosquito! How many times will I've to repeat myself?! The hook must not be left too close to an injured human!" High Tide yelled and huffed, glaring at Blades in his altmode with a frown. He didn't look a single inch happy.

      "I-I'm sorry sir, I'm trying t-to be as careful as I can!" Blades stuttered, keeping his altmode.

      And then High Tide proceeded to yell even more at Blades, making Heatwave angrier little by little. He didn't face him yet because of Cody. While High Tide kept his "yelling lessons", Heatwave couldn't help but start to get worried, as well as the rest of the team did.

      "It is been almost a month since High Tide started with his angry issues, but it seems to worsen a bit this week." Chase concluded and the others confirmed. "Heatwave, did you do anything to infuriate him yesterday?"

      "Of course I didn't! He was doing pretty good yesterday, weirdly nothing stressful happened." Heatwave crossed his arms. "And the last time I checked, the mayor didn't get a new yatch yet."

      "There was no oil spill at the sea and the sea creatures were rescued by both me and High Tide last Friday." Boulder completed.

      "So what seems to be the problem with him?" Cody asked looking at Servo, patting his head.

      "Wait a second." Chase said, pulling a datapad out of his chassis. "By the last registers High Tide did not do any complicated water rescues last week, but at Wednesday he got some scratches and small armor damages in a land rescue."

      "I remember this day, he needed some help to polish his water tanks." Heatwave chuckled a bit and looked again at High Tide. "His armor looks pretty fixed to me, I don't see any damage or scratch."

      "Should we tell Optimus about it?" Cody asked, tilting his head a bit.

      Heatwave sighed, looking at both of mechs. High Tide stopped yelling at this point and he noticed how bad Blades was with all the yelling. High Tide seemed to apologize and Blades seemed to accept his apology with a sad glare. After thinking for a bit Heatwave clenched his fists and looked down at Cody.

      "I'll talk to Optimus about this. And I'll not give up until I get some answers." The fire bot said and walked to High Tide's side. "Permission to leave the training early, sir."

      This made High Tide look down at Heatwave a bit confused. He wasn't expecting anyone to leave his training that early and he didn't expect Heatwave himself to ask properly to leave. After a few seconds of silence, High Tide responded.

      "Well, permission granted Big Red. Ya never asked for permission to leave, is everythin' 'ight?" The sailor bot had to ask, he was a bit curious about why is Heatwave leaving this soon.

      "Yeah pretty much, I just wanted to rest a bit for today. Y'know, Griffin Rock never sleeps and there's always a fire emergency around." Heatwave proceeded to leave High Tide's deck and jumped the railings, hitting the sea and transforming into his water altmode to drive back to the island. He needed to leave as soon as he could because calling for Optimus might take a while.
