Chapter 2:
Rachel and I raced out of the cove as fast as the jet-skies could take us. We came around the last turn and hit open water. I could see the 'Starfire' idling in front of us. When Karen saw us she quickly sped off with us at her heels. We played a fun game of tag. Rachel and I would cut in front of my speed boat or each other. It was a completely stupid and dangerous thing but a lot of fun.
"Where should we go?" I heard Karen scream over the noise of the motors.
"Let's go play with tourists" I yelled back. It was our favorite thing to do. We annoyed the hell out of them by being our normal reckless and crazy selves.
"You read my mind," I heard Rachel faintly. Karen spun the 'Starfire' towards Flamingo Beach. The name was ironic because there were no Flamingo but it was a major tourist spot. We arrived in the large cove with in 20 minutes. They had a 10 mph speed limit in the harbor but that didn't stop us. Karen parked at the entrance so that we could get a clean get away. Suddenly I heard the motors on the 'Starfire' growl to life. I spun around and watched in amusement as she started making waves. What a smart girl. I looked around carefully for any harbor police. NONE!! Yes, time for some fun baby!
"Let's Rock Rachel!" I yelled to her. She grinned before gunning off and circling the stationed boats. She came barreling at me.
"Our friends are here and they have noticed us," she said as she missed the end of my jet ski by mere inches. I spun around to see the huge yacht I had almost crashed into. The blonde was standing on top looking straight at me. I gave a little wave and laughed as she stormed away. I slowly started to putter that direction. Maybe I would introduce myself. I noticed a flurry of activity on their boat.
"You're taunting them," Rachel said coming up beside me.
"Yeah. What are they doing on that boat?" I asked as I heard yelling. Out of no where two jet skis came flying at us.
"I think that they were getting those in the water," Rachel said dryly. I looked at the two people coming towards us. Both men were tall and muscular. One had reddish brown hair and the body of a runner. The other had solid black hair and the body of an all around athlete.
"Do you think we should move?" I asked sarcastically. Rachel threw me a look and took off to warn Karen. I waited to meet our new guests. They slowed as they came closer. Both men were unbelievable hot. I chanced a look behind me to see Karen leaving the harbor. Rachel probably told her to go to the site. We had some work to do tonight, but we had to mark it first.
"Hello, welcome to paradise! How may I help you?" I asked politely. The red head grinned and looked me up and down.
"I know how you could help me," he said. The other man smacked him across the head.
"I'm Richard Grayson and this is Roy Harper" He said casually. I looked into his eyes and could see the anger.
"It's nice to meet you. I'm Kori and the other two were my friends Rachel and Karen. I do believe I pissed off your girlfriend. She was the slightly over weight blonde in the size too small bikini, right?" I asked sarcastically. Richard's face clouded in anger and he opened his mouth. I quickly spun the Jet Ski around and flew out of the cover. About 10 minutes later I was joined by Rachel.
"Did you have fun?" She asked. I looked over to her and noticed she was trying to hold back laughter.
"I had a whole heap of fun!" I exclaimed merrily. She broke down laughing and crashed into the side of my Jet Ski. We both teetered a bit before regaining balance.
"Let's go mark our treasure" She said and took off. I looked around and noticed no boats. Thank God. I took off after her.
The 'Starfire' sat there looking gorgeous as I approached. Rachel had already tied her Jet Ski off and was putting on Scuba Gear. I quickly pulled up beside the speed boat and also tied off. I hopped aboard and watched Rachel struggle with the heavy canister.
"Scuba?" I asked wearily. She finished getting ready before answering me.
"I can't hold my breath as long as you. Karen will watch for any body. If someone comes she will hopefully get them to leave." Rachel stated and then plunged into the clear blue water. I fixed on a snorkeling mask and dove in after her.
We had been marking the spot for about an hour when the shadow came over us. I looked at Rachel and she held up seven fingers. She had only seven minutes of air left. I could only hold my breath for a little longer before I would have to surface. The shadow of the boat was large. I bet I knew exactly who it was. I sat on the sea floor and looked around. It had to be close to sunset because the water was darker. I noticed a few sharks in the area. They were too far away for me to notice if they were dangerous or not. I looked up just in time to see the water get cloudy. HOLY SHIT! I looked at Rachel in panic! We didn't want anyone to know we were here but we couldn't stay now. Someone had throw chum into the water. At this time of day it would attract sharks like free candy. I caught Rachel's eye and pointed up. She nodded and started to surface. There was only a little left to mark and I could finish it. I was almost out of breath were the first shark grazed against me. I looked around and noticed in horror that there were at least 10 sharks surrounding me. SHIT! I finished the last marker as quick as possible and headed up slowly. I didn't want to alert the sharks with sudden movement. When I reached the surface I saw 10 faces staring back at me.
"Hi," I said breathlessly. I slowly swam towards Rachel and Karen's out stretched hands. I was about 15 feet from the boat when a shark sped right in front of me.
"Get out of the water," Rachel screamed. I was too scared to move. That was a hammerhead shark. It is one of the meanest sharks around these parts. I slid back on my mask and peered down. My eyes widened in terror at what I saw.
"Rachel get on one of the Jet Ski's and drift to me," I yelled. She was my look and knew this was not good. I was used to sharks. They didn't bug me and I would usually jump right in with them. At the moment, I wanted out of the water. I NEEDED out of the water.
"How many hammerheads are there?" Karen asked. That set off the panic.
