Chapter 9- Lets Go Scuba!
After Villie's sudden death Mikey and Caraan had quickly and quietly made it back to there car were Kristaline and Laura were still sitting, Kristaline got out she looked at them blood soaked and shivering, "He's dead isn't he?" said Kristaline fearing the worse.
"Yes, he crashed into a stack of pipes, now he looks like Swiss cheese," said Mikey. "Well I think we need to find the other two we haven't found, Sparky and Gino, Jared is still at the hotel, I think we should go back."
"Good idea the traffic isn't all that backed up going the other way." said Caraan, looking back about fifty feet was an easy unblocked u-turn that would allow them to return to the hotel. "Alright guys get in the car." Caraan got in the driver's seat, Mikey in the passenger side and Kristaline in the back with the speechless Laura.
Caraan slowly backed the car up into the breakdown lane, she slowly weaved through the mess of blocked cars until an exit was visible, she stormed through the gap and made the u-turn, they began their travel back to the hotel.
Jared was in his room, fixing up stuff when he heard loud noises from the construction site, he prayed that everyone was okay and this whole mess was solved.
"Jesus these guys are so messy." said Jared picking up unfolded shirts and carefully folding them back into proper shape, Jared picked up a copy of Blue Oyster Cult, he looked on the back he saw the track name "Don't Fear the Reaper" he cringed he put it on the bed/
Jared went into the bathroom, he started the sink and began to wash his face, then suddenly bubbles began to rush up from the sink, Jared was dumbfounded, "What the hell?" then it stopped bubbles floated in the air and popped, he then remembered talk about signs, "This has to be one!" Jared got a piece of paper and wrote down "Heavy Stream of Bubbles"
There was a crude knock on his door and Mikey and Caraan walked in, Jared walked up to them, "So how is..." before Jared could finish Mikey cut him off.
"Dead." said Mikey.
"What happened?" asked Jared his hand trembling.
"Hey got skewered on a stack of pipes now come on we need to find the other guys very soon because one of them is next." said Caraan, she began to walk out the door.
"Hey guys wait I think I found a sign," said Jared showing them the notepad, Caraan looked at it.
"Maybe, keep it for later maybe it is something of importance," said Caraan, and with that the three walked out into the lobby, the silver haired man stopped them.
"Um yes we know were Gino Rocko is," said the silver haired man, a brightness filled the room.
"Yes he is down at the docks over there," said the man pointing to the shiny docks were a group of five were boarding a glass bottom boat, "He is going scuba diving."
"Thank you very much." said Caraan, all of them rushed out towards the car were Kristaline and Laura were standing, "Hey come on we know were the other guys is, he is right at the docks!"
"Sorry, I have to stay here with Laura she is an emotional wreck." said Kristaline, "She really is messed up."
"Understood come on guys." said Mikey, he began to run to the docks with Caraan and Jared close behind, just as the boat was about to leave they reached it panting and sweating.
"Yes?" said Gino, Gino was very short, he had poofy brown hair that seemed to shine and dance with the breeze, and he looked like he was some sort of male model. "Well what do you want?"
"We need to talk to you," said Caraan.
"About what?" asked Gino peeved, he cringed his face, "Ugg disgusting fish." He pointed to a colorful fish swimming around.
"It is about the Golden Tiger," said Caraan.
"Well I really don't have time, how about you come with us?" said Gino holding out his hand presenting the boat, Caraan, Mikey and Jared looked at each other and shrugged, "Well come on!" said Gino.
They got on and Caraan looked, there were two younger kids male and female sitting in the front sipping martinis with a tall man that looked very familiar to Caraan at the wheel of the boat.
After about twenty minutes of diving they were far out in the ocean, Gino had gotten his wetsuit on, Jared was mesmerized by the glass bottom boat you could see all forms of life through it, "So who is coming with me?" asked Gino, everyone looked at each other.
