Chapter 3: The Unknown Voice
Cody falls asleep and then a few hours later, he's having that same dream again.
In his dream, he walks around the beach, sees no one but the trees, ocean and the sand. You can pretty much tell that he's still in Pen Gu Island. He knows that he's alone and there's no one there. He sighs and said, "Hello? Is there anyone here? Why do I feel like I'm all alone?"
"You're not alone." said a voice.

"Hello, Cody. Just call me Dad or Bob." said the voice.
"I-I don't understand. Where were you?" asked Cody.

"Yeah, I'm almost 18, so." said Cody.
Bob chuckles and then looks at Cody and he asks, "Why did you leave us?"
"Blame it on the whale that ate me and I figured you would've been without a father for your whole life. I see you lived and there was a missing part of your family... me." said Bob.
The voice echoed through the dream and it shattered him back into reality and now he finally knows the voice in there. He panted slowly and whispered, "Dad...."
