Thunder licked her lips as she saw she had food in the net. It wasn't Chilean Sea Bass but it would be her dinner. As the creature, a young shark, was brought aboard and dispatched, her crew tossed it overboard and she snatched it up.
"Mmm, I needed that." She purred.
"You're welcome, Thunder. We slaves got to stick together right." One replied.
Thunder sighed. Yes, she was as good as a slave in her work. Most of her kind were. But the food was good and she was treated semi-okay so she wasn't going to complain.
Her attention was diverted to another ship on the horizon. Closer inspection revealed it to be a New Zealand flagged warship.
"We've got company!" She called.
A second ship appeared behind the New Zealand ship. "Double trouble!" She screamed. "Double trouble! Double trouble! Oh god help me!"
Thunder danced around. If there was one thing that she feared the most, it was that dazzle colored paint scheme. That meant Sea Shepherd. Translation: She was screwed!
The New Zealand ship, Melbourne, pulled up alongside her. "Alright lassie, let me take a look at your catch and I'll be on my merry way." She said.
Thunder bit her lip. How could she refuse? She bobbed her head in a nod, keeping her eyes warily on the dazzle colored ship as she circled. Likewise the other ship kept her own green eyes on her, teeth bared into a snarl. Thunder gulped. She'd never seen a more intense and focused look on any ship before.
Melbourne, having searched all over, found the Chilean Sea Bass.
"Please don't take me back!" Thunder whimpered, cowering down in a quiver.
"Oh, I'm not going to take you back." Melbourne replied sweetly.
Thunder brightened. "You're not?" She asked.
"No, I'm going to leave it to Pol here to take you back for me." Melbourne replied.
The dazzle colored ship, Pol or as her name said Bob Barker, grinned.
Thunder quivered in fear. "No, please..." She begged.
"I'll give you some advice lassie." Melbourne said, trying and failing to hide a smirk. "Run."
And that's exactly what Thunder did. She took off so fast one would've thought the ocean was on fire. Pol took off after her.
"Get back here you little rat!" She shouted.
Thunder whimpered and increased her speed. "Can this day get any worse?" She thought to herself.
