10. Chapter 10

The trio finally reached the Tortuga, but Chris still hadn't woken up. The Tortuga's door was open, and Aviva sat at the bottom of the ramp with her knees tucked up to her chin. She looked extremely worried. As Chris, Clair, and Larry drove up, Aviva jumped to her feet and started walking backwards up the ramp.

Clair jumped off the motorcycle before it had even come to a complete stop and started running towards Aviva while yelling and sobbing. "Aviva! I was kidnapped by Larry who was working for Zack when I was looking for dad and it turned out Zack had dad and this is Larry but he's on our side now and he helped us escape but Zack put a sound-activated shock collar on dad and now he won't wake up and…" at this point Clair had reached the bottom of the ramp and collapsed on the ground, exhausted and sobbing.

Aviva, once she realized that Clair was back, had started running down to her and reached the bottom of the ramp at the same time as Clair did. Aviva embraced Clair and said, "Sweetie, one thing at a time. What's going on?"

Clair took a deep breath and attempted to stop crying. She succeeded in not crying for just enough time to say, "Help my dad… Please…" and then she pointed to the motorcycle and collapsed in sobs again.

Aviva looked confused but wrapped her right arm around Clair tightly and started walking to the motorcycle. As soon as she saw Chris, limp and lying on a motorcycle with a strange man, she let go of Clair and ran over to Chris. "He needs medical attention! Rápido!" Aviva ran inside and came out a few minutes later with Koki and a stretcher. Koki and Aviva were carrying the stretcher between them, and they raced over to the motorcycle without a word.

They placed the stretcher on the ground on the motorcycle, and then carefully placed Chris's limp body on the stretcher. Clair watched all this, horrified. All of the sudden, Clair felt a hand on her shoulder. She squealed and jumped, but then settled down when she saw it was just Larry.

"It's going to be OK," Larry said firmly. "You just wait and see."
