Lino, Oscar, Angie, and Luca had been out all day looking for Lenny. But no luck. Lino was trying to remember which reef Vincent lived in. He couldn't decide if it was the Westside Reef or the Eastside Reef. All he knew was that he lived in the only ocean liner in one of the two reefs. He only knew that because a guy named Buster was too stupid to keep his mouth shut. So he figured that they might have to try both. It was the only way they were gonna find Lenny faster.
"Hey boss, you remember which reef it was that Vincent lives in?"Luca asked.
"No. So were just gonna have to try both."Lino replied.
"Which one do we check out first?"
"We'll try the Eastside Reef first."
So they swam off as fast as they could to the Eastside Reef. But something told Lino that it was probably wrong. But they went anyway.

It took the gang almost a full day to get to the Eastside Reef, and they were all tired out. They looked around and there was no ocean liner in sight. So the only option they had left was the Westside Reef. But since they were too tired to swim another inch, they decided to get some rest and find Lenny tomorrow, if it took them that long to get there.
"What are we gonna do now boss?"Luca asked.
"We're gonna get some sleep that's what."Lino said.
"Man we forgot to bring sleeping bags."Oscar complained.
"Well at least try to get some sleep. We have to find Lenny." Angie said.
So they tried to get some sleep, but the ground was just too hard.
"We need something soft to sleep on."Angie said.
"We could use Luca."Oscar said.
"Me? No way."
"Why not? You don't have any bones, and you're completely squishy."
"Why don't we just use some of that kelp over there?"Angie asked.
"It's better than using me."Luca said.
"Clam it Luca. The kelp is all we've got anyway."Lino said.
They spread out in the kelp patch and laid down, trying to get comfortable. And surprisingly, it was actually soft.
"Wow this stuff is soft."Oscar said.
"Good. Now can you try and get some sleep please?"Angie moaned.
"That's what I was planning to do."Oscar said as he laid his head down. Then he and Angie fell asleep in no time.
"Well good night boss."Luca said as he fell asleep.
"Night Luca."Lino said. But he didn't go to sleep just yet. He looked up at the stars and hoped that Lenny was alright. So he looked up at the sky a little longer and finally worried himself to sleep, thinking of his son.
