A/N: Here's another chapter! Sorry this one is so short.
Francis was starting to give up hope. He had tirelessly searched for his test subject for five tiresome months, and came out empty handed wherever he searched. Suddenly, he realized he had overlooked one place, but it was awfully risky. That port was a popular nesting ground for tugs, but it seemed to be the most obvious place to find her. He felt a knot form in the pit of his stomach, fear. He was terrified.
His hand slipped off the boat's wheel a little as he tried to turn the boat. He gasped a little, and wiped his sweaty palms on his shirt.
Is it really worth it going there? Is this really worth my life? Francis pondered the consequences if he decided to search for here in that dreaded port. Sure it would benefit his studies, but was it worth his life? Well, now that the curse had been brought back under control, it was less likely a tug would devour him, but it was still possible. It just might be worth a try. He took the wheel once again, and finished his turn, headed towards his destination: Bigg City Port.
A/N: We're getting down to the nitty gritty here now. What do you think lies in wait for Francis? Next chapter is already in the works!
