"There it is!" Antonio exclaimed, the wonder evident in his voice. The other pups all swam up next to him and looked down from the cliff they were on top of over to where the huge sunken ocean liner sat on the bottom of the ocean. Michela tilted her head as she looked at the boat. "What is it?" she asked. "Opportunity" Antonio whispered. The look Michela gave him showed that that statement didn't help clear anything up.
As she turned her attention back over to the boat, Michela started to look interested. "It sure is big" she whispered, "I wonder what all's in there?". Antonio shook his head, "Only one way to find out!" he said. He began to swim down towards the liner. The others all smiled excitedly and followed.
"I wonder where we should explore first!" one of them whispered. "Over there looks pretty good" another pointed out. "No, no no" a third argued, "I wanna go explore over there" he said, pointing to the bow. With a sigh, the second pup who had spoken turned to his friend, "are you crazy, over there is way more interesting than--".
"How 'bout we split up" the first pup suggested. The others seemed to like this idea. "No way!" Antonio broke in, "I don't know what the rest of you guys have been doing, but I actually listen when our dads come back from a job and I've at least picked up on this much from their stories, splitting up never works. We go in together". The others all nodded in agreement, now that Antonio mentioned it the stories that came out of the times the mob had "spread out" weren't too comforting.
With that settled, the pups began to make their way down towards the ocean liner. Antonio grinned at them as they slowly approached the boat and paused outside, "This'll be the greatest adventure we've ever pulled off!" he whispered to them before slowly slipping through a port hole of the boat and into one of the many abandoned room within the liner. One by one each of the pups slipped through the port hole and into the liner. Michela was the last one to slip through.
As the others all began asking Antonio what the best course of action was, Michela thought she heard something coming from the closed door of the room over on the wall opposite the port hole. She slowly swam up and leaned next to the door, listening.
"No no" Antonio told the group, "First thing we have to do is find the ideal spot to set up camp before further exploration! It's how all the experts do it" he explained.
"Uh guys" Michela whispered slightly worried. Antonio and the others stopped talking and looked at her, "What is it?" Antonio asked, slightly confused by her worried look. Michela turned to face the other pups and, while pointing to the door, whispered as low as she could, "There's someone else in here!".
Meanwhile back at the love boat, Tino, Luca and the two other sharks with them were sitting on the couch in Don Lino's office listening as Sykes swore up and down he knew exactly where these menacing sharks lived.
Don Lino was sitting behind his desk giving Sykes a scrutinizing stare. "and you're sure this second hand information from a panic stricken employee is accurate?" he questioned skeptically, "cause you know if I send my guys out and there aint nothing there--". Sykes raised his fins, "Yes, yes, I completely understand your concern, but Oscar he's--we'll he's not exactly going to be employee of the month anytime soon, but the kid doesn't fabricate tales. If he said he saw these other sharks in a huge ocean liner off to the west side, then you can bet that--".
"Alright, alright" Don Lino said, raising his fin to silence the fish. Luca leaned forward a bit from the couch, "Hey boss, you want I should take the usual gang out and investigate for ya" he asked. Don Lino shook his head, "No, I've sent you boys out to spy and threaten these intruders out long enough, this time I'm coming with. I'll deal with them personally".
If this shocked any of the others in the room, they didn't let on. "Luca, assemble the usual gang, I'll be out in a minute" Don Lino said. The octopus nodded, "Right away boss". Tino and the other two sharks, who happened to be part of "the usual gang" followed Luca as he swam out. Once they left, Don Lino turned his attention back to Sykes.
"Alright Sykes, thanks for the tip" he said, "Now get back to that whale wash of yours and keep it down, I don't want nuthin' past the rumors that are already flying getting out around the reef". Sykes nodded, "Right, understood" he said. He got up and swam out of the boat.
Don Lino made his way into the main area where Luca had already assembled the others and told them the ropes. "Alright boys" the shark leader said, "apparently Tino's last led mission went well and our intruders at least left the main reef area, but it seems they're still living to close for comfort, so lets go make sure they receive our full ultimatum". The others all nodded and followed their leader out of the love boat and off towards the ocean liner where the other sharks were apparently congregated.
