Jacob insisted on them going to another restaurant to order out so they did not have to worry about dishes, or getting Hawaiian food messed up. There was a bit of hemming and hawing in concerns to the suggestion, but Jacob eventually won out and they ordered out from another local restaurant that Jacob frequented. Robby and Harry went in with him, but in a moment, they wanted to be back at Uncle Billy's. Neither could explain why. Perhaps because the atmosphere at this restaurant, Kailoa's, seemed to be more high class than Uncle Billy's? Maybe it was because Uncle Billy's was closer to the sea, making them feel a little more at home?

Robby tried to quelch the feeling by glancing around the restaurant. It was pretty impressive with Hawaiian art and style blending together in a gorgeous palette. But out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a red-headed man sitting by himself with a full beard sneak sly glances at them. The guy had big black boots, blue jeans, a red and gold striped shirt, and a long, black coat that Robby thought had to have made him really hot. Robby pretended not to notice, and kept looking over the restaurant. But he always made note to notice the man when he was looking back in that area without, hopefully, drawing any attention to himself. He did not like the looks of the fellow, especially the way the guy was so interested in his grandfather's conversation with the host, Kaleo Iona. Jacob was only telling Kaleo about Robby and his parents were here on vacation and had included Harry for Robby's sake. Though Harry quickly added it was for his sake too just so he could get away from his family for a bit. Robby smiled at the remark, but his eyes turned towards the red-headed man. He seemed to have lost interest in the conversation and turned back to his food. But Robby couldn't quite get the blaring alarms in his head to turn off. There was something off about that man, and he didn't want to turn his back on him until they had left.

Finally the food came out, Jacob paid, and the three said their goodbyes to Kaleo. Robby snuck another glance at the man as they left, but his focus seemed to be on his food. Despite that, Robby didn't feel safe until they were in the Jeep and they were pulling out of the parking lot. He happened to glance back, and jumped slightly when he saw the man standing in the door, but he couldn't tell if the guy was watching them leave or was looking for his ride. Robby turned and tried to let the conversation push the scene from his mind, but he seemed unable to. But he also didn't say a word, not until he and Harry were out in the sea, catching the pre-dinner waves.

"Hey man, are you going to surf, or what?" asked Harry.

Robby looked at him. "Did you notice a red-headed man with a full beard at Kailoa's?"

Harry blinked. "You noticed him too?"

"You did?" exclaimed Robby.

Harry nodded. "How could I not? He was hard to ignore. I tried to get into the conversation that your grandpa was having to ignore him, but man, I was getting alarms going off in my head."

"So was I!" Robby paused before continuing in a lower voice. "I also tried to watch him discreetly." Harry pushed his board even closer to Robby's so the two could huddle, even though there was no one else out on the beach or the sea but them. "He seemed to be doing the same."

Harry's eyes widened. "Really? Did he catch you trying to watch him?"

"I, I don't know," said Robby haltingly. "I hope not, but Harry, I turned back when we were leaving and . . . and he was standing in the doorway! I-I don't know if he was watching us leave or waiting for his ride, or something, but I wouldn't be surprised if he was watching us."

Harry's face was growing pale while his eyes got even bigger. "Dude! That's, that's so creepy! Why would he be interested in us?"

"Maybe he's connected to Jack's disappearance," said Robby as his concerns began to die down and gave way to imaginative scenarios. "I don't think he was really paying attention to us until Grandpa mentioned the ICS."

Harry began to stroke his chin, something he picked up from James Hoenig. "You know, that would make sense." He let out a huff. "But we don't know the guy's name, otherwise we could point the police in that direction."

"No, but maybe if I gave Chief Lam a full description, the time we saw him, and all that, they might be able to find him. Heck, if he's regular enough of a customer at Kailoa's, they might know his name."

"Why don't you talk to your folks about it? Who knows, maybe your grandpa does know who he is and he's nothing more than the local weirdo."

"A local weirdo that keeps giving me red flags?" asked Robby. He shook his head. "No, Uncle Billy seems like the local weirdo, and he's a great guy. That guy I saw, he, he seems like he's got something up his sleeve."

"I still think you should talk to your folks first."

Robby sighed. "Yeah, I agree." The two began paddling their boards back to the beach. "Sorry about cutting your surfing short."

Harry waved his hand dismissively. "It's OK, man, I think this is more important. But, we will be heading back out here later, it helps me think."

Robby bobbed his head. "Same for me."

James, Miriam, and Jacob were surprised to see the boys back so soon. "Were the waves not good enough for you?" asked James.

The boys shook their heads. "We didn't even touch the waves," said Harry.

The adults glanced at each other, surprised. "Then what's wrong?' asked Miriam.

Robby sighed before telling them about the guy he saw at Kailoa's. He finished with, "Do you know who he is, Grandpa?"

Jacob shook his head slowly. "No, I've never seen him before, or at least I've never noticed him before. I would also have said to ignore him, if it weren't for the fact that you had alarms blaring in your head, plus the way he was acting suspiciously." He paused. "He still might not be worth looking into, just another shady character that you boys need to stay away from."

"Do you think I should go to Chief Lam with this information?" asked Robby. "I mean, what if he's behind Jack's disappearance?"

Jacob put up a finger. "I would let the police concern themselves with that line of thinking. You can tell Mike about this guy, it could help them in another case and it might not have anything to do with Jack's disappearance. Give them the information, but let them follow it to its conclusion."

Robby let out a sigh of relief. "OK. Um, is there a direct line to the police station?"

Jacob nodded. "There is, and I also have Mike's direct number." He glanced at the clock. "But I don't think now is a good time. He turns off his phone now so he can finish paperwork before leaving for home." He turned back to Robby. "I think you should wait until tomorrow morning. I will leave the number for you to call."

Robby smiled. "Thanks Grandpa."

"Well, since you're not going back out for the waves, how about we eat. Those starving pangs are coming back," said James, rubbing his tummy.

Miriam whacked him playfully. "You and your staving pangs. We can eat now."

James threw up his arms. "Saved!" The group laughed before digging into the delicious Hawaiian cuisine, only made more delicious because Jacob paid for it. Robby glanced around the table, glad to be surrounded by his closest friend and family. He thought it would be complete if Balthazar was there, but he wouldn't have been able to make the journey. And though the Risso's dolphin was sad that Robby was leaving, he seemed interested in getting to know Mr. Lillibulero better. Robby was glad of that, at least Balthazar wouldn't feel too lonely. But thinking of Balthazar got him thinking about Poipu and the harm inflicted upon the dolphin enraged him. Who would do such a thing?

James sighed, breaking into Robby's thought. "So, I know we're supposed to be here for a bit of work and a bit of vacation, but we have to talk about Poipu." He turned to Jacob. "Is there anyone here that you know of who would harm a dolphin?"

Jacob thought for a moment before shaking his head. "Not any of the locals, not even the MacAllisters, and they're a couple of bullies."

Harry and Robby sat up straightener, eyes wide. "But Dr. Finski thought they might be the likeliest people to do it!" exclaimed Harry.

"That's because Dr. Finski doesn't know the people of this island as well as I do. He prefers hanging out by Devil's Hat, gathering information on cetaceans, which I don't blame him for. With the way some people are, dealing with nature can be much safer." Jacob sighed. "But, they are the most likely to do it. And I'm not surprised he thinks that way. They've had a few . . . encounters, and they weren't too friendly. They don't like how we're trying to turn the bay into a conservation site, they're fishermen, it's their livelihood. However, unlike Uncle Billy, they're refusing to go with the flow. We have come to an agreement with Uncle Billy on what he can and cannot do, and he's changed things around so he can work with us. He's one of the most cooperative men on the whole island, in fact." Jacob seemed to become serious. "Makes you wonder if he's looking for more than just the treasure." Then he brightened. "But it's always nice to have someone who's willing to cooperate and understand the need to save our oceans."

Robby blinked. "Wait, Uncle Billy's looking for the treasure?"

Jacob nodded. "And has been for the past three decades." He held up his finger. "And is quite insistent on being the one to find it. He always tries to deter anyone from searching for the treasure, if he hears of anyone trying to look for it." Robby and Harry cast sly glances at each other. Could he have made Jack disappear if Jack was in fact looking for the treasure? What would Uncle Billy do to ensure he was the one who found it?

"But, if this Hank Mobley vanished not long after he escaped from jail, who's to say he didn't take the treasure with him?" asked Miriam. The boys blinked and glanced at her.

"Wait, you guys know about the treasure too?" asked Robby.

James rolled his eyes. "Of course we do. Your grandfather has mentioned it to us on a few occasions as being a problem ICS is facing in turning Nai'a Bay into a conservation site. Yes, most people come here for the surfing and the fishing, but they have had their fair share of enthusiastic treasure hunters" He glanced at Jacob. "And I'm sure Uncle Billy helped you make sure they went away."

Jacob nodded. "He most definitely did, where he could. He couldn't help all the time, but was very willing to help when we needed him. And he's even offered to help with anything else to turn Nai'a Bay into a conservation."

Miriam smiled. "That's wonderful. I'm so glad he's become an invaluable ally to you."

Harry blinked in surprise. "So, he has no problem with the Bay being turned into a conservation . . . but won't that interfere with his search for the treasure?"

Jacob shook his head. "Not really, it's more of a hobby for him and we know his schedule. He goes out every Saturday afternoon and comes back Saturday night. It's no problem for us. It's the guys who go every day that provide real problems. They mess with the research we do with their constant diving."

James sighed and nodded. "Nothing ruins a good project like people constantly interfering."

"Anyways, we're getting off topic," said Miriam. "We have an injured dolphin that we need to take care of and figure out if he was harmed intentionally or accidentally."

"If it was an accident, shouldn't someone come forward?" Harry asked.

James sat back and began stroking his chin. "You would have thought, but sometimes they might not even realize it happened, or they're too scared to come forward. Some people just don't want to admit they made a mistake and think it'll disappear if they don't bring it up. It usually does, though, so they don't worry too much about it."

"I would have felt bad and come forward if it had been an accident," said Robby.

Jacob scoffed. "That's because you've been raised with an appreciation and respect for the sea and the life it holds. Not everyone has that."

"But no one has come forward with any information on the matter," said Miriam.

"Not yet," said Jacob. "Give it a bit of time. Yes, word can travel pretty fast in a town like this, but most people tend to keep to themselves. I'd give it two days, if we haven't heard of anything then, then either it was intentional or it was one of tose accidents that the guilty party wants to go away."

James straightened in his chair. "What happens if it was Jack who did it, and that's why he's missing? He's so embarrassed this accident happened when he's supposed to be one of the top scientists at ICS that he thought it best to lie low for a bit until everything blew over, or at least cooled down."

Jacob tapped his chin. "Now that's a feasible idea, and could very well be what happened." He huffed. "But then Jack might be really worried about Poipu and come to check and make sure he was alright."

"Unless he made sure the dolphin made it to ICS without being seen," suggested Miriam. Is there any place he could do that?"

Jacob shrugged. "Just Devil's Hat."

Harry huffed. "Looks like we're going to have to check out Devil's Hat no matter what."

"Billy might be the best person to ask for help with on that," said Jacob, "he knows Devil's Hat better than most."

"Well he does rent out scuba gear," said Robby, "so I guess we could get some supplies from him if we needed them."

"Hmm, that might be a good idea," said Jacob. "If Jack is trying to stay away from ICS because of his shame, sending an ICS boat out to look for him might alert him that we're looking for him. But if it's a rented boat . . ."

"We could act like tourists and take him off guard!" exclaimed Harry.

Jacob grinned. "Bingo."

Robby leaned forward on the table. "So I guess we'll take care of that."

Jacob nodded. "That would be best. And I will ask if Irene and Ismene, or just Irene at least, can go with you. They can show you some of the best sights of Nai'a Bay while you're looking for Jack. Does that sound good?"

"Hey, you can't turn down a free tour of Hawaii, especially with a Marshall," said Harry with a big grin.

"Oh, I see," said James. He glanced at Robby. "Does this marshall girl have the same effect on you?"

Robby smirked. "She is pretty, Dad, but not really." The smile faded a bit. "But she is rather . . odd."

Jacob shrugged. "The Marshalls like to keep to themselves, but they are really good at their jobs and enjoy doing it, so we keep them on, no questions asked." He waved his finger. "As a matter of fact, it might be best if you don't ask her too many personal questions, they'll clam up if you start to get too personal."

Harry and Robby glanced at each other in surprise before turning back to Jacob and nodding slowly. "Duly noted," said Robby.

"Good," said Jacob. He rose from the table. "Now, I think I'd better get going. It looks like we're going to have a long day ahead of us.

Miriam and James stood up as well. "You're right, we're all going to need our rest," said Miriam.

"I'll drive you home," said James as he picked up the keys.

"I'll come with you," said Miriam.

"Oh, thank you." Jacob turned and pointed at the boys. "And I'll see you tomorrow."

The boys stood up, grinned, and saluted him. "Aye, aye, Captain!"

Jacob turned slowly to James. "Dang it Jim, I'm a Doctor, not a Captain!" They burst out laughing. Finally, they finished saying their goodbyes. James and Miriam took Jacob home while the boys hit the sack. Robby wanted to talk more about the day's events, especially about the oddity of Irene Marshall and the strange, creepy man at Kailoa's, but Harry was already asleep. The next minute, Robby was as well.

(Author's Note: OK, sorry, I felt like an author's note was needed here. Things are getting interesting, and the restaurant has been uploaded to the Sims 4 Gallery, if anyone is interested, though it's called Kuula Kailoa. I'll reference names and quite possibly characters from the Sims 4, even though both series are considered two separate series. Thanks for reading!)
