The Habor master thought he had seen everything on Amity. The chaos that came was quite a shock. The old Habor master sat in front of his hut, on an old folding chair, eating Cheerios.
The Amity island pier had become a mad house. Out-of-state cars were crushed together for parking space at the foot of the dock. Wannabe bounty-hunters crowded onto the pier, hoping to get the best boat. Not being able to get the police truck anywhere near the chaos, Sean and Hiro set out on foot.
"...So then Claude and Crusher sat there trying to catch their breath, and figuring out how to explain to Crusher's wife what happened to her freezer full of meat." Hiro chuckled. Sean shook his head.
"That's not funny. That's not funny at all." he grumbled. Hiro's smile fell as he glanced round at the pier.
"Mr Kioko must've have put his in ad in Field and Stream." Hiro commented. Sean grumbled under his breath.
"More like the The National Enquirer. "He mutered, befor catching sight of his daughhter. Groaning under his breath, Sean retraced his steps, pushing people out of the way gently. Meanwhile Faith had her doubts about being on Pier.
"Why are we here Jem?" Tala questioned, voicing Faith's thoughts. Kai crossed his arms over his chest, glaring at anyone who dared bump into him. Jemma stopped outside a dock shed, her father used.
"It'll be fine. I'm just looking out for Judy. I just hope she gets here soon." Jemma replied. Kai raised an eyebrow. Sean went unnoticed by the four friends.
"You only phoned her yesturday." Kai reminded. Jemma nodded her head, her eyes on the sea. Sean tapped his foot on the pier waiting for Jemma to notice him.
"I know, but Judy usually gets to shark places quicker then you think." Jemma replied. Sean coughed, catching their attention. Jemma gave a small meep. "Hey dad." she smiled.
"What are kids doing down here? It's dangerous. You should be round with the other students." Sean pointed out. Faith shook her head.
"I beg pardon sir, I mean Sean, but the other students aren't even up yet. Besides your daughter is more fun to be around." Faith defended. Sean sighed loudly, before opening the door to the dock shed.
"Just...stay in there for now. When things calm down, I'll come and fetch you." Sean ordered. When the four were inside the shed, Sean set off to try and calm the chaos.

Out in the water, a white boat made its way through the ragtag collection of loonies around it. Anyone could tell it was a professial boat and an expensive one at that. Steering the boat was a beautiful blond haired woman.
Judy Tate frowned over the disaply of bounty-hunters, before docking her boat. She glanced over the scene with her sea blue eyes, hoping to spot Jemma. Judy sighed, and shut her boat off. She then tossed her bag onto the pier before being helped out of her boat.
"Hello." Judy greeted,. The brown skinned man with dread-locks nodded his head. Aaron gave a questioning look at Judy.
"Hello Back. Say, a pretty thing like you isn't going to go out with them nuts, are you?" he questioned. Judy grabbed her bag and smiled.
"Not sure yet." she called over her shoulder, before seeing Sean. He was currantly arguing with two boat drivers. Judy rushed to the side, her trainers squeaking on the pier.
"You schmuck, you ain't under sail, you're goddam drifting!"
Judy rubbed her forehead. "Hey sailor? You an oar in there? Good, now scull out of here." Judy ordered. Sean nodded his thanks and darted across to the other side of the pier. Judy followed as best she could.
Across the pier was a small boat, only fit to hold two people. The boat sunk lower and lower into the water, as a seventh man climbed on board.
"Hey! How many people you planning on taking in that thing?" Sean called out. One man looked up.
"Whatever safe right?" he chuckled. Sean shook his head.
"Well, that ain't safe! You take some guys off or don't go out!" Sean ordered. As Judy reached him, a man bumped into her. Judy grabbed his arm, stopping him from falling into the sea.
"Watch it that's...dynamite." Judy let go of the man's arm and backed away. Sean spun round and placed a hand on the man's shoulder, before he could escape.
"Where you going with that?" Sean inquried. The man pointed out to the sea, to which Sean shook his head. "I don't think so." he turned to Judy. "Could you help me get those men out of the boat?" he asked, before carting the dynamite wielder off. Judy sighed.
"I'll try." she grumbled. Judy turned back to the men in the boat. "Excuse me gentlemen! The police officer asked me to tell you that you're over-filling that boat." she called out. The men waved her off.
"You ain't going out what do you care?" one of the men sneered. Judy rolled her eyes, knowing it was a lost cause.
"Okay, so can you tell me where the best hotel on the island is?" she asked, trying to find some out about the town. The men began to laugh at something.
"Yeah you walk straight ahead." They exploded into fits of giggles. Judy gave out a dry chuckle.
"Yep, they're all gonne die."

Faith looked at the sea through the window of the shed. Jemma sat perched on a wooden box, along with Kai. Tala watched Sean pace, as he talked to Julia on the phone.
"Julia, listen. We've got some road-block signs in the office. I want you to put them out, becasue we've got more people here then we can handle." Sean grabbed a handful of nails and threw them at a second window. Hiro waved when he attention was caught. Sean waved him inside, the phone resting on his shoulder.
"What are you doing out there. These are your people, go talk to them!" Sean ordered, once Hiro was inside. Hiro shook his head.
"Those aren't my people. They're from all over the place. When's the extra help coming in?" he questioned. Jemma cocked her head to oneside. Judy entered, muttering something under her breath.
"You know those guys in the faintail launch? None of them are gonna make it out of the habour alive." Judy informed. Sea and Hiro exhcnaged glances before Hiro darted out to them. "Sounds like everyone is having a wild time out there." Judy chuckled. She smiled at Jemma when she caught sight of her.
"Tell me about it." Sean grumbled, before placing the phone back to his mouth. "Julia, I'll get back to you." he then hung up. Judy scratched the back of her neck.
"Listen I was wondering where I could find Chief Scott." she stated. Sean looked the blond woman up and down, rasing an eyebrow.
"Who are you?" he asked. Before Judy could reply, Jemma jumped in.
"This is Judy Tate dad. This is the Shark expert I called." she informed happily. Sean gave out a quick sigh, before shaking hands with Judy.
"I'm Chief Scott. I'm Jemma's father. Is there anything we can do for you?" he asked. Judy nodded.
"If it's possible, I would like to see the remains of the girl on the beach." Judy replied. Sean nodded his head, as Jemma turned to her friends.
"Faith, Tala. Can you keep an eye on the docks. Report back if anyone of those idiots catchs a shark." she instructed. Faith saluted her friend, as Tala cast an eye over to Kai.
"What about Kai?" he asked. The said russian snorted, trying to keep out of everything. Jemma smirked and grabbed hold of his hand.
"Kai's coming with me."

The Amity island morgue was cold and plain. Judy followed Sean and the Doctor, Jim, into the room. She strapped a tape-recorder to her side, before placing a microphone next to her mouth. Trailing behind was Jemma and Kai. However, before they could enter the room, Jim slammed the door shut on them.
This didn't stop Jemma, as she leaned against the door, trying to listen in. Kai did the same.
Jim handed Judy a clipboard, as he grabbed a cloth covered tray. " Victim is identified as Hillary Tachibana, female caucasian..."
Judy trailed off when Jim lifted the clothe of the tray. She took a sharp breath in, her eyes rolling over the remains.
"...height and weight can only be estimated from partial remainds. Torso severed in mid-thorax, eviscerated with no major organs remaining." Judy paused and looked at Jim. "May I have a glass of water?" she asked. She waited until Jim returned. Nodding her thanks, Judy took a sip before setting the glass down and starting again.
"Right arm served above the elbow with massive tissue loss from upper musculature. Portions of denuded bone remaining." Judy spun round to face Sean. "Didn't you notify the coast guard?" she questioned.
"No, it was local jurisdictions." Sean replied grimly. Jemma chewed her lip, as she leaned against the door harder. Kai frowned. Judy started up again.
"Left arm, head, shoulders, sterum and portions of ribcage intact, with minor post-mortem lacerations and abrasions. Bite marks indicate typical non-frenzy feeding pattern of large squali, possibly carchaninus lonimanis, or isurus glasucas. Gross tissue loss and post-mortem erosion of bite surfaces prevent detailed analysis; however, teeth and jaws of the attacking squali must be considered above average for these waters." Stopping again, Judy stormed straight up to Sean.
"Didn't you go out in a boat and look around?" she inquried, a wild look in her eyes. Sean shook his once more.
"No, we just check the beach..." Judy held her hand up to cut him off, turning off her recorder.
"It wasn't an Accident, it wasn't a boat propeller, or a coral reef and it certainly wasn't Jack the ripper. It was a shark."Judy spat. Suddenly the door to the morgue burst open as Jemma and Kai tumbled to the floor.
"Owie!" Jemma hissed, before standing up and dusting herself down. Kai did the same as Jemma turned to look at Judy. "So, we were right. Dad was right, it was a shark. You know what kind?" Jemma asked. Judy shook her head.
"Sadly no. But if I can continue some more research then maybe..." Judy trailed off, as the sound of running feet was heard. Tala and Faith came to a stop at the morgue door, panting.
"Jem...four idiots...caught a shark. A bloody big shark." she informed.
