Gemma and I walked to the trade station and got our sub. I was not going to be stuck in that hotel room all day. I went through the first hatch and Gemma followed. I piloted the sub to go deep subsea because I wanted to find something antique. Gemma and I stayed quiet, she was paying attention to the ocean. Everything in the ocean is so interesting to her. I like just watching her face sparkle when she sees something so pretty in the ocean - A gem o' the ocean.

Thats when I noticed Gemma frowning at me.

"what?" I asked

"Where are we going?"

Then I realized that I had piloted the sub to go to our last destination -home, which is in Benthic Territory. I quickly stopped the sub but we were already on Benthic Territory. I was about to turn around when something cought my eye. A sub. What was a sub still doing in benthic territory? It shouldn't be a skimmer because everybody had already left. It also wasn't a government sub. I put on my helmet and went towards the hatch. I wanted to get a better look at what was happening.

"Where are you going?" Gemma asked

"I just want to get a better look at Benthic Territory." I answered

I sucked in a liquidgen pack and filled my lungs. I went through the hatch and fell into the water. I sent clicks out towards Benthic Territory. In my head I saw a lot of subs. Weren't they supposed to be gone by now? Why were there so many subs still here. Then I remembered how subs starting showing up only 3 days ago. Was something going on? I went back through the hatch and went in the sub. I took a deep breath to take away all the liquidgen.

"Ty what did you see?"

"There were just a lot of subs but, there shouldn't be any. Their not government subs and there still shouldn't be skimmers."

"Let's go deeper"

I knew Gemma was tough. I didn't want to have to get in trouble either. But I also didn't want anything happening to Benthic Territory. And if anything does happen we can just say we were about to leave.

I brought the sub a little closer inside Benthic Territory. I got close enough to a sub to peek what was inside. Gemma flipped her helmet on. We both sucked in liquidgen so that our lungs won't collapse from the pressure. We both went through the hatch and fell into the water. We both also put our helmet lights on medium so that we can see but not catch any attention. We swam a little closer to the subs. I sent out clicks to see how many subs were around us.

What came back to me made me freeze. I would've yelled if I didn't have any liquidgen in my lungs. I tried signing to Gemma rapid fast to go in the sub but she didn't understand anything I was trying to say. I wanted to swim to the sub but I couldn't leave her behind. And then I saw it. Not with my clicks, but close enough to see with my eyes. A shark.

Then that's when Gemma saw it. She was absolutely terrified of sharks. I saw through her helmet that she was pale and sweating. Then I knew I only had one thing to do. I have to use my gift. I tried amping up my sonar to shoot the shark. I knew that it probably won't work. And if it did work I didn't know if it would be long enough to go back in the sub. Also, if I shot my sonar to the shark, it would probably affect Gemma too. I didn't have time to think anymore. This was all happening too fast. I sent sonar to the shark full blast. It didn't work. Then the shark started to slow down. What was happening? I looked over at Gemma. She was curled up into a ball. She was pale and shivering. Then I saw that the shark had been shot. I knew that at any moment the shark was going to attack us. I grabbed Gemma's hand and swam up to our sub as fast as possible. I glanced over my shoulder for a split second and I sent clicks out. In my head I saw that someone had shot the shark again. That will give us more time. Gemma and I went through the hatch and sucked in oxygen to evaporate the liquidgen. I went over to pilot the sub to go back to the trade station. Then before The sub can move, I felt the whole sub shake. The shark. I moved the sub to go straight. And then I saw who shot the sub. There was a big white figure. An albino. Shade. I knew the sub wouldn't last long. Just then I felt the whole sub shake again. Gemma noticed the figure too. Even though she was pale and Shaking, I saw her face lit up when she saw shade. I turned around and I saw that the shark had hit us right in between the pilot control area and the main room. So we weren't able to detach the rooms. There was a whole and water was leaking in. I pushed the sub to go towards the white figure. Then I saw the Specter.

"We're going in the Specter, Suck in liquidgen."

She nodded, and we both sucked in liquidgen. I opened the hatch and saw that the shark was about 10 feet away from us. I also saw that the shark was shot again. We swam towards the specter. We saw shade go through the hatch and Gemma and I went in after him. We took in a deep breath to take away the liquidgen. I saw shade change back to black with tattoos on his arm. The albino was now gone. I also saw Pretty and Eel stare at us with a surprised and confused look in their faces. Shade was looking at Gemma to see if she was ok. I knew he had to be worried since the shark almost killed his sister.

"Are you guys alright?" Shade asked. I forgot how low his voice was. I wondered what he'll do if I asked him to talk like Richard.

"We're ok" I answered for Gemma. I could tell she couldn't talk because she was still in shock. Then sadness swept through me. Gemma had a panic attack. I felt so bad for her.

"What were you guys doing out there?"

"We were trying to see what all the subs were doing here" I answered

I saw Pretty frown. He walked up to join the conversation. "What do you mean?"

Now it made since why the seablite gang was still here even though we were supposed to go topside. Since they were trying not be seen, they probably never knew that they were supposed to go topside.

"The government and wealth decided that they wanted to inspect Benthic Territory so that they can make sure it's safe. They wanted everyone in Benthic Territory to go topside for a couple days. Gemma and I were close by so we wanted to see why there were still subs here. Everyone was supposed to be gone by this morning" After a moment I added, "what were you guys doing here?" I didn't know why they would want to be here, close to so many subs. I knew they wouldn't want to be seen or else they can go to jail.

I saw Hatchet in the back smile at us. Of course he was just showing off his shark-like teeth. Then I saw Shade turn around and look at Pretty. After that I automatically knew. They were planning on robbing one of these subs. I looked over at Gemma and saw that she was still shivering. Shade looked over at Gemma too. He left and got Gemma a blanket.

"You two can go in the central room for now. We'll drop you guys off at the trade station in a couple hours," Shade said.

"What time is it?" I asked

"'Bout five," Pretty answered. We had to be back by six

"Can you drop us off at the trade station now?"

Shade looked over at Eel. Eel shook his head. Then Shade looked back at me.

"We have work to do" he answered.

Yeah and by work you mean rob, I thought. This was definitely going to be a problem, knowing that ma and pa were going to be a little strict on topside.
