Chapter 10: A shark in a fishbowl
"I have a favour to ask you,"
"Sure, just ask,"
The first person took a deep breath then spoke, "if I was to go missing, I want you to pretend to be me, go on Twitter and post stuff. I have a few prerecorded videos and list of stuff I want you to write about,"
"No wait, what are you talking about-"
"Don't worry, I'm not going to commit suicide or anything like that, I just need you to keep me active for a month or so,"
"Alright, I don't know what you are going to do but I'll do it, just stay safe."
The person picked up his bag and walked out the door, "I just need to prove something for myself, I'll be back soon so this goodbye will only be temporary,"
"I hope you are right about the 'temporary' bit," but the person was already gone.
A week later, news brought in a new surprise.
"A young, unidentified teen saves the lives of three members of the web-sensation, Team Crafted," a TV reporter read,
"I really hope you know what you're doing,"
After a long story fill hour of bits and pieces Matt and Isaac knew about Jimmy's life, they walked around the theme park twice.
"Can't you tell us what they look like? Your friends I mean," Isaac leaned on a tree which shaded him from the scorching heat, "We're just walking aimlessly around at this point,"
Jimmy was reluctant but gave vague features like clothing but not hair or eye colours, another circle around the theme park proved that it was better to just stay still.
Isaac parked himself on a picnic bench and immediately jumped up, "Eww, there's ice-cream on this," on closer inspection, there was popcorn as well as cotten candy.
"Don't tell me you were with this group as well," a security guard came up behind Jimmy,
"No sir, we were just wandering around and had nothing to do with whatever happened here," Matt quickly explained,
"Good, I don't want anymore trouble,"
"Can you tell us where they went?" Jimmy spoke up, deciding that this group of trouble could be Team Crafted,
"Yes, towards the aquarium," he then pointed a fat, sausage finger towards the way Jimmy and co. came.
"Thanks officer," Isaac did a sinful mimic of an American accent as they ran off, leaving the guard red with frustration.
"You were meant to be watching him!" Jason accused Ty,
"I'm sorry but I had to get you guys out of a food fight before we had to buy the entire food stall section!" Ty waved his arms about in defence,
"Just stop," Adam pushed Jason and Ty apart, "let's not play the blame game when we could be finding Jimmy, the park closes in an hour,"
"Yeah but he-"
"It not my-" Ty and Jason started at the same time,
"SHUT UP," Quentin exploded with anger, "I've had enough of the both of you, just shut up for five minutes,"
"Look! Isn't that Jimmy," Ian tried to change the topic but his unsure tone gave away the fact that he was lying. "Wait, it is Jimmy," This made everyone turn towards the aquarium door, "Jimmy! Wait up," Ty cried and ran after him, TC soon joined the chase.
"Hey I found Nemo!" Matt joked as the trio made their way around the aquarium, they stopped on top of one of the bridges that stretched across the aquarium.
"We're here to find Jimmy's friends, not fool around," Isaac tried to be serious but out of the group he was the one most eager to look at all the fish. Jimmy kept a huge grin on his face, the amount of people in the aquarium made him a bit uneasy and the size was just over the size of an Olympic swimming pool but the fish was a definite distraction.
"Jimmy!" Ty went up to Jimmy and patted him on the back, Matt and Isaac just gasped in surprise.
"Who the hell are you?" an annoyed boy turned around to face Ty.
"SHARKS!" Matt and Isaac sprinted to the edge of the rectangular tank as a lemon shark swimmer by.
Jimmy turned to where Ty was with another boy, on another bridge, "Ty," Jimmy was going to shout but couldn't manage to be loud enough for Ty to hear him.
A woman with a bucket of fish started to feed the dolphins and another man was talking about their shark, "Right now is breeding season and many of our females are in a special breeding program. Be careful though, all the males are very aggressive during this period"
"The show is starting, what are you waiting for?" Isaac asked, "****?"
Jimmy's ears went numb he couldn't hear what Isaac was saying, "**tc* *ut!"
Jimmy was falling over, he reached out for the hand in front of him but was just short of grabbing on.
A dolphin came out of nowhere and jumped straight into Jimmy, knocking him into the 10 meter tank. Like a rock, Jimmy sank to the bottom.
"Jimmy...JIMMY!" Ty ran around the bridge and climbed onto the rail of the bridge above where Jimmy fell in leaning forward into a dive two pairs of hands shoved him back onto the bridge. "I need to save him!" Ty got up but was pushed down again.
"D...Deadlox?" One pair of the hands belonged to Isaac the other to Matt,
"Isaac? I need to save Jimmy!" Ty struggled when he heard two splashes.
"Can all visitors exit this way," people filed out leaving Matt, Isaac and Ty behind, underneath them circles of sharks formed, blocking the staff divers from rescuing Jimmy, someone else jumped in, Ty only caught a glimpse of the person as he flashed by.
Jason dived into the icy depths of the aquarium at the same time sharks charged at him.
'I'm
not letting you end up in hospital again' Jason thought.
Two more splashes, Mitch and Jerome joined Jason. "Let's do dis!"
"Let me go," Ty whispered, seeing the others jumping in, Matt and Isaac's plan of stopping anyone becoming shark food was foiled, Isaac glared at Ty before backing off, Matt followed.
The underwater battle now began, Jason swam to Jimmy and held him by the arm, across his shoulders. The trip back up wasn't as successful, Mitch and Jerome splashed around to scatter the sharks.
The two staff made their way to Jason and brought the two of them up, they broke the surface. Jimmy is a deathly white and isn't breathing.
"Jimmy? Open your eyes, please wake up," Jason struggled to get his breath back, he weakly shook Jimmy before he passed out.
"Jason! Jimmy!" Ty ran to the bank where the two have been brought up, he pulled out his phone to call 911.
"I need an ambulance," Ty gave a quick story and address but there was already a dispatch for his situation.
"Looks like another trip to the hospital," Adam patted Ty on the back, two drenched figures emerged out of the water then the staff came out.
"Thats the last time I dive into a freezing pool of death," Mitch tipped his head to get rid of water that made it's merry way down his ears.
"Good job biggum," Jerome moved out the way as doctors carrying stretchers barged through. "Are they gonna be alright?"
Adam felt obliged to answer, "Only time will tell."
"He's stable," a doctor informed most of Team Crafted,
"Well this feels awfully familiar," Ty commented, "I thought I won't be seeing this place again,"
"Too bad, who knew this would happen again," Adam added,
"'Again'? meaning multiple times?" Isaac was more than shocked,
"Isaac? Why are you here?" Adam mostly directed his question to Ty,
"That's right, you were at the theme park as well,"
"He was lost, me and Matt tried to find his friends. I should be asking why you're calling him Jimmy, wasn't that a joke only Kyle used?" Isaac turned the questions back at Ty.
"What do you mean?" Ty was genuinely confused at this point,
"Never mind, Matt, we're leaving," Isaac stormed off, apparently angry at something.
"When did he become such a weirdo?" Ian said but no-one replied, Adam pressed his forehead onto the glass panel separating the hallway from the room Jimmy was wheeled into.
"After Jimmy wakes up, let's just go home," Adam decided and also left the hospital.
A poster flew past Adam's face and landed I front of his feet.
'MISSING PERSON'
It read, but what caught Adam's eye was the fact that Jimmy's face was on the poster,
but the name didn't link up, it said MISSING PERSON, HARVEY WINSTON
"Jimmy? Who exactly are you?"
