Chapter 6
"That wasn't a big one?" I freaked.
"Nope ... she's been playing catch and release ... but I think she wants to impress you. Besides ... the replicator can use the meat. She already gleaned a pretty good chunk of seaweed. Hi, HAL." Still speaking like twins.
This was getting difficult; Keirstann was an alto and Britt was a fifth higher ... they were moving their lips together but I was having problems deciding which one I should listen to.
"Hello Brittany ... Ann," HAL said.
Where there had been the ship hovering just over the island there was now ... a boy. Maybe eight ... or nine ... he bore a resemblance to Ricky 'The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet' Nelson. For some reason, I thought the hologram or construct appropriate. David and Ricky, together again.
Over the years I'd always wondered what David felt about Ricky's fame ... right up to the instant the plane crashed. After that, I don't think he'd be willing to swap.
The huge ... did I mumble? HUGE but shorter ... Megalodon fell splashing back from the bluff ... there was blood squirting like a pulsing fountain being painted everywhere ... It was damn sticky too but I had a feeling washing it off in the ocean wouldn't be the smart thing to do ... ya think?
Funny thing ... Stevie didn't have a speck on her ... neither did HAL/Ricky. Stevie did something ... we were clean. The smell of fresh blood and scattered brains was rife!! Rather than a sickening stench it was a major turn on.
The headless shark was still thrashing and convulsing in the water ... it was really deep just off the shoulder of the headland. Blood was flying everywhere ... hundreds of yards out in the bay there were gigantic fins cutting speedboat sized wakes all arrowing towards the base of the bluff and the writhing mess at the waterline.
"Oooo, Big ones!!" shouted the girls. They waved at Stevie and pointed...""Olé!!!! Stevie!!"
The one that got there first came up from the bottom ... the jaws opened and the megalodon minnow was swallowed up like a lion eating a thrown sprat. The momentum carried the beast high above the edge of the bluff. This one was Corvette size ... WWII Corvette ... only fat.
"Yay!! Big ones..."
"Oh My God!!"
"Too soon for that, Dave."
"What?"
"God ... she's not due for a couple of million years ... like Thirty Five thousand BC. She didn't even stop when she seeded Homo Sapiens ... just flashed on by about Two hundred Fifty thousand years before, dropped a few of you off and split ... she had other planets to seed."
