Disclaimer: I do not own Shark Tale. all I lay claim to are my two characters, Tino and Michela.
Chapter 1
Within the depths of the ocean, there were many spots which most normal fish feared to tread, the darker parts where the sharks congregated. Up till now around the Reef area, Don Lino and his gang were really the only sharks the inhabiting fish had to deal with. Yet lately a few newer sharks had been gradually getting more and more frequent; not that the panic stricken fish noticed all that much that these were new faces.
Don Lino, on the other hand, noticed very much. "I send yous guys out for a week and all you can come back with is that you know there are three of them!" Don Lino said, looking at the two killer whales and one hammerhead shark who had been following the case recently, "I want names!" he finished, slamming his flipper down.
"We're working on it, boss" the hammerhead said, "It's just--". He glanced at the others unsurely.
"It's just what?" Don Lino asked.
One of the killer whales present spoke up, "Well, you see, I had one of them cornered and--he got past me" he said hesitantly, averting his eyes. Everyone present knew what this meant, the whale had backed down.
Don Lino sighed, "Tino" he said, turning to the other great white shark in the room. The shark, Tino, turned his attention to him, "Yeah boss?".
"Take Luca and two others he sees fit to bring and see if you can't get some progress going" the leader of the sharks said as he sat down with a sigh, "I at least can trust you to get the job done" he added. The others in the room knew enough to know not to protest against Don Lino's inadvertent criticism of their performance.
Tino graciously shrugged off the opportunity to lord it over the others for his commemoration and merely gave a short nod in response before swimming out to the main room. As he left, one of the killer whales whispered to his counter part, "Must be nice having family connections".
Don Lino turned sharply to glare at the whale, who immediately straightened up. Don Lino kept his gaze trained on the whale for a bit before he slowly turned to look at the door Tino had just exited through. "I give Tino these jobs because I know I can trust him to pull through" the shark leader said, "The fact that he happens to be my wife's little brother is immaterable". The whales glanced at each other unconvinced.
As Tino entered the main room, he found Luca the octopus suspiciously absent. Part of the reason it was suspicious just had to do with Luca's personality, but it was also suspicious because more often than not Luca was almost always found hanging around the love boat awaiting Don Lino's next order.
"Hey, Luca!" Tino called, glancing around the room. He immediately heard a thud and his eyes darted over to the bar area. At first only the tale of a great white shark was visible and then Don Lino's youngest son, Lenny, slowly emerged from under the counter, rubbing his head. "Golly Uncle Tino, can ya be a little less sudden with your sneak attacks, ya made me bump my head" the young shark said.
Tino smiled, he had a special place for Lenny within his family affections. Sure the kid was--unique--but that was part of his charm. "Sorry Lenny" Tino said, "I was just looking for Luca, your pop's got me running another spy mission on those new comers and Luca's suppose to bring back up".
"I thought Pop gave up on that a while back" Lenny said, lowering his fin as he quit rubbing his head. Tino half chuckled, "Nope, he won't give up till he knows they're run out for good" he said. Lenny shrugged, "sounds like a waste of time to me" he said.
"Well, they're a challenge to your father's authority" Tino said, "and apparently we can't have that, so off I go to find the aid and his appointed back up crew" he finished as he began to swim off
"I thought you were part of pop's back up crew" Lenny called after him.
"I am, usually" Tino called back as he reached the door, "but I'm moving up!" he exclaimed excitedly. He shrugged, "Least for this one assignment anyways".
Lenny grinned, "Hope you find him!" he called as his uncle exited through the door to go hunt down Luca.
