Chapter 10- Discovery

"I'll go." said Mikey, "Where are the scuba suits?"

"Down in the hull I will grab it." said the driver walking down inside of the boat, he grunted as he pulled up a dusty black wetsuit with a rusted but apparently working oxygen tank, "Nothing better then the classics." The driver chuckled, Mikey let out a quiet groan.

"Go on slip it on." said Caraan with a grin, "Let see you in that wetsuit." Mikey shot her a nasty look as he tried to put the suit on, it squeaked loudly and he made it to his thighs, everyone was on the verge of laughing, Mikey wasn't too amused.

"Come on we don't have all day!" said Gino smiling a tapping his foot, Mikey grumbled he finally got the wetsuit to his chest, he gave it a huge tug the wetsuit pulled up with a loud screech and Mikey stumbled back and fell over the side of the boat, everyone burst in laughter.

Mikey managed to climb back up, "Got it on." Mikey coughed, Mikey spit out a load of seawater, Jared cringed as it shot in his direction, he climbed up were the two younger kids were seated, they were asleep.

"So let me help you with your oxygen tank." said the driver picking up the large tank and strapping it to Mikey's back, Mikey groaned in pain as he struggled to move it, the driver gave Mikey a breathing tube which he attached to the oxygen tank, the driver showed Mikey how to us it, by putting the breathing end in his mouth, Mikey grimaced. Mikey then grabbed the fins and put them on, they squished which made Caraan cover her ears.

"Gee thanks." said Mikey sarcastically, he unwillingly put it in his mouth, Mikey waddled over to the edge and hopped in, water splashed on everyone except for Jared who was safely in the front. Gino slowly got in.

A fish swam by Gino's fin and he jump, "Jesus! Why are there so many fish in this ocean!" said Gino, this caused everyone to snort a little, "What is so funny!?" The driver motioned with his hand, Gino took a deep breath.

"Say I never got your name." said Caraan turning to the driver, "But you look very familiar." Caraan knew he was from somewhere.

"Yeah my name is Sparky, Sparky Smothers." said Sparky he extended his hand and Caraan shook it, Caraan then remembered the list Sparky Smothers was on it, and she turned very pale. "Something wrong?" asked Sparky.

"Were you staying at the Golden Tiger when it blew up?" asked Caraan breathing heavily, Sparky smiled.

"Yeah I was but then...wait a minute!" said Sparky, "You're the girl who freaked out and got me and Gino out!" Sparky smiled, "Now I need the name of the hero that saved us, hell even Tom and Farah were saved because of you!"

"Caraan Manna." said Caraan shivering; she looked at the sleeping Tom and Farah, "Two new people on deaths list, this is bad this messes up everything." Caraan thought to herself, Sparky had walked over to Farah and Tom and had woken then, he pointed to Caraan. Meanwhile Gino jumped in and Caraan raced over and watched him go down to the bottom with Mikey, a steady stream of bubbles came up.

"Hey I just wanted to say thanks Caraan." said Tom tapping her shoulder.

"Me too." said Farah, Caraan looked at them pale, "What is wrong?" asked Farah looking at Gino and Mikey who were still only a few feet from the surface, Caraan then got up and rushed over top Jared.

"Yes Caraan?" asked Jared, he was admiring the beauty of the swaying ocean, "You know I usually hate boats but this is okay, I feel safe."

"Jared! What was that clue you found!?" said Caraan, Jared turned pale and looked like he was going to thrown up.

"Why what is going on!?" asked Jared sitting up and rushing over to the glass bottom of the boat, he saw Gino and Mikey were pretty far down now, they were examining some brain coral, Mikey touched and looked disgusted.

"What was the clue!" yelled Caraan.

"A stream of bubbles!" yelled Jared, now glued to the glass bottom; Sparky, Tom and Farah were frightened now.

"What does that matter?" asked Tom staring at Caraan.

"Gino is in danger!" said Caraan, "We have to call them back up!" Everyone except Jared looked very confused, "Listen when we got out of the hotel I messed up Death's Design now it is coming for us it already got three people!" Farah and Tom looked scared while Sparky rushed over to the command station, he pressed a button that said "Gino Scuba Suit Mic"

"Gino get out of the water!" yelled Sparky but the only thing that came back was static. Sparky looked at Caraan, she began to bang on the glass but both Mikey and Gino were too amazed with a weird looking slug.
