No longer than 5 minutes later foot steps were heard. It was much like a horror movie in a way. The sea had gone eerily calm and all that could be heard was the slow footsteps hitting the deck of the boat. All over the deck crew members had silently creeped in to watch the action unfolding.
Just as Chefo thought he couldn't stand it any longer he felt a hand on his shoulder, he jumped about a mile in the air almost reaching the place of his last hiding spot on the radar equipment.
As he turned around he saw Mike standing infront of him with a slight hint of a smirk on his angry face.
"I hear that there is a hassle with two crew members who have gone missing in action." He said as Chefo made himself extremely small instantly regretting the idea.
"So much for a well thought
out plan, apparently it had a few minor," He looked at Kate's
face, "scrap that a lot of major kinks in it."
He thought to
himself and he glanced around at everyone smirking at him, especially
Charge who was grinning like Cheshire cat, come to think of it Chefo
realised that almost everyone was.
He gulped much feeling like a gold fish being stared at by little kids, he was so caught up he was worried they were going to start poking him as if he were in a little clear fish bowl.
He was snapped out of his trance at
the sound of coughing.
Chefo stared up at the angry faces of Nav
and ET as they were pulled out of the floating, inflatable, well non
inflated boat, as well as still being tied up.
He contemplated jumping overboard but then he knew they wouldn't give him the satisfaction of getting off that easy.
He flashed a wide grin that resembled something a 5 year old would smile like after they had just put their mother's makeup all over the houses white walls and carpet.
Chefo watched as the crew members advanced on him and true to his word Charge picked Chefo up and tied his hands to a piece of rope that was laying on the deck attached to something that looked like...
"Wait a minute." Chefo thought as he studied what was infront of him. 'Guys this isn't funny, this is dangerous." He panicked.
"So was tying us up and dumping us into a small blow up boat into 6m seas Oh-So-Brilliant-Chefo." Nav remarked with a scowl on her face.
"Yeah Chefo you live to feed so why not demonstrate your abilities or lack there-of to the hungry sharks." ET smirked seeing Chefo's face at the mention of shark bait, but suddenly remembered Finding Nemo.
"Now's not the time for thinking about Finding Nemo." Chefo mentally scolded himself and took one last look at the crew before he was pushed into the cold dark ocean. He looked at his hands which were tied to the rope and his feet that were duck taped to a pair of ski's.
He gulped, he never really got the whole thing of balancing on water without sinking.
The crew all waved at Chefo before Mike spoke. "I believe you should do the honours Nav." Mike said as he handed his radio to Nav. Nav grinned, "It would be my pleasure. Start both engines full speed."
The slight grumble of engines alerted
Chefo that this was real.
"Oh crap." He thought as he felt
himself moving up and down and side to side in the whitewash of the
boat.
On deck video cameras, mobile phones and digital cameras were out taking up the once in a life time opportunity.
Chefo had long ago taken to closing his eyes as he felt every little bump they went over, slightly scared at the thought that there might be a hungry shark looking for a midnight feast following him from a distance.
Nav and ET laughed. "Only 5 minutes left Chefo, that shark should hold off til then, he seems to be gaining on you though." ET grinned as Nav burst out laughing as Chefo tried to move. Unfortunately that only ended with Chefo ending on his butt while his feet were still attached to the ski's.
"I am so dead." Chefo thought as he felt his overalls getting thoroughly soaked by the white wash.
5 minutes and one semi-conscious Chef later the crew looked on happily as Chefo woke up from his nightmare.
"Ah, what happened? And why am I soaked?" He asked as he stared at the crew. Then he remembered. "Oh uh, hey guys, let's forget this ever happened okay call a truce?" he asked nervously.
Nav smiled sweetly. "Of course Chefo especially since your watch starts in an hour." Nav said as Chefo groaned.
"I thought you were on?" He said.
Nav smiled, "I was but somehow I ended up sick so I have to stay in bed now." She said with a slightly evil grin on her face.
Chefo gulped, 'Yes ma'am. I'm sorry."
Nav smiled. "Oh Toby this is nothing yet, just you wait, just you wait." Nav laughed as the crew left the deck to get some much needed sleep.
