"Err.." Brittany sounded a little embarassed. "Thank you." she took the water bottle and took a few gulps. "I was looking for something I lost here..." her voice trailed off. "My friends are waiting for me at the shore..probably?" She sounded like there was more to it, but stopped talking as she tried to get up and take a few steps. "Ouch. I think i twisted my ankle. That stupid guy didnt pay any attention when he jumped out of nowhere!" she hissed angrily. Pulling out her phone, she sighed. "No reception, huh? What bad luck!"<br/><br/>Taking a few steps together with Marina, the two girls suddenly heard the honking of a little motor boat. Brittany perked up, and a few minutes later they heard a male voice calling out. "Brittany!~ Brittany~~!" Brittanys body tensed but she cried out back: "JOSH! I'm here!"<br/>Turning to Marina, she explained a bit bashfully. "My.. little cousin. I had a bit of a quarrel with my friends over something, so I went back alone. Thank you for helping me!"<br/>A quite handsome, but still a little babyfaced, dark haired and muscular male was running over to help Brittany, and after a while of thanking Marina, both took off.<br/>Prior to leaving, the girl turned towards Marina and left something in her hands. It was a piece of beautiful jewelery, hanging on a snapped leather thread.<br/>"Here, I found that. I'm giving it to you. Just keep it."<br/><br/>Turning around Brittany and Josh left the island on Joshs Motorboat. Sighing to the waves, Brittany murmured. "Serves him right, for running me over, that guy. I should have thrown it away, but it was just too beautiful."<br/>Josh turned and asked: "Hm, what did you say?"  - "No, its nothing."<br/><br/>[...]<br/><br/>Indeed, and the people lingering on Mako Island were not only a few. Somehow, Allen had not expected this. He was crouching in a bush, stalking out a person, but finding a group of them. Strangely, he could not see the guy from before.  Scratching his head and contemplating about what to do next, he he noticed a peculiar smell.<br/>Frowning, he realized, that it was a group of youngsters, smoking weed.<br/>The smell made him nauseous, and he ducked back into the woods, not intending to play cop and robbers with those guys.<br/><span style="font-style: italic">~ Ridiculous. This is totally not my day.~</span>He sighed softly, as he crawled slowly past the stoned kids.<br/>He was no justice man - what he needed now is to get to the bottom of the secret of this Island!<br/><span style="font-style: italic">~Even if it is another failure, grasping at straws is better than nothing.~</span>
