I'm bored, so I'm gonna write a story about people on a ship getting shipwrecked and how they find their way back to civilisation. Cliché but heh heh. So I decided to do this while waiting for the next part of Left4Dead to come out. Whoever wants to be in it, just post here. Like seriously. Anything.
[bold]Charlie[/bold] The smell of salt water filled the air. Sea gulls were floating on the winds and playing in the vast expanse of the skies. Charlie looked up at the blues and chuckled to himself as he watched in amusement the playful sea birds steer beautiful circles in mid air. "Hey Charlie" a pair of girls giggled behind him. Smiling, he pulled his gaze off the skies and turned to his classmates. "Hey girls. What's up?" They giggled again. "You wanna join us for a swim?" Charlie placed his hands into his pockets. "Nah, I'm shy. You girls go ahead." he said with a smile. "Aww c'mon Charlie," the pair grabbed his arms and pulled him toward the pool. "it'll be fun, plus we've always seen you work out, and you have a great bod" one of the girls winked. "Okay,okay! Ladies, please. There's only one of me for you two to share." Charlie was basking in the attention. He loved it. =========================== "Phase 1, completed." a voice said in a hush tone. "Proceed with Phase 2" some static followed, "Proceeding with Phase 2 over and out." The dark figure carefully wiped down the pistol and placed it in it's holster. "These dumb rich kids won't even know what hit them, just like this dear captain." the female voice spoke as she pulled down her mask. As she turned to leave the room, the limp hand on the steering wheel slipped off, and the captain's body slumped onto the floor. The White uniform started to soak red, and a trail of blood started to form on the bridge floor.
Naomi 2 Weeks Earlier The glass house was silent, except for a particular individual who seemed to have a lot to say. "Come On Naomi, don't quit on me now, you know you are the best we've got." Damien pleaded as he followed Naomi around the house like a puppy. She was silent. "Please, just this one. I'll never ask you to do another job again. Trust me. Cross my heart." he stood upright and drew an invisible 'X' over the middle of his chest with his index finger. "For goodness sake Damien, we're not damn children. The last time you said that, you sent me scaling Mount Everest, and guess who came knocking on my door this morning! I'm not falling for that this time." she rolled her eyes and picked up the sheathed blade that was lying on the dojo floor. " now if you don't mind, I have to train, so please leave." "Aww, c'mon! We need those Kung-Fu moves of yours to kick some bad-a guys!" At this Naomi swiftly unsheathed the blade and pointed it at his throat. "I'm Asian Damien, not a Kung-Fu master." she said with a frown, "And I suggest you turn around, and walk straight out of the front door, and never come back." "But- " "I swear I'll kill you. You know I will if you don't shut up." "Okay I get it, you wanna sit on it, think for awhile! That's fine, but it's 6 billion dollars you're gonna be sitting on." Naomi touched the tip of the blade to his throat. "Turn around Damien" he complied and started walking with Naomi right behind; her blade to his back. "Bye Damien. See you not anytime soon!" she said as she escorted him out the front door. He sighed. "I know you want to quit Naomi, but this one has personal ties to Hank. He would have wanted you to be the one doing this job." Naomi froze for a moment. "Hank huh..." She exhaled and closed her eyes. "Fine, send me the files, I'll call you when I've received it, and you can explain this new job then." Without waiting for a reply, she closed the large wooden door, and walked back into the dojo for her daily training.
After an intense 4 hours of training, Naomi stepped out of the dojo covered in sweat. She was used to long hours of training ever since she could remember-when Hank took her in as his own. She had no recollection of her parents, nor her family. Hank was like a father to her, though never really as close as a father would be to a child. He was more like her sensei (teacher), and never allowed her too near. "It's to keep you safe Naomi" he would always say, but as she grew up, she soon realised that all she could be to him was an assassin, and nothing else; she was just another one of his projects. Naomi sighed. "It's just for sentimental value. Nothing more." she said to herself, in a weak attempt to justify her reason for accepting the job. She gently placed the blade onto a holder along the wall and made her way upstairs for a warm bath. As soon as she stepped out the shower, the phone on her bed beeped. She knew it was time to get down to work. She picked up her phone, touched a few numbers and put it to her ear. "Pull it up for me in the conference. " she said, as she walked down the hallway and came face to face with a wall. She swiftly pressed 9 pressure points on the wall, and it activated a digital keypad on the wall. She keyed in a password and the wall turned into a transparent jello looking substance that re-solidified the moment she walked through it, leaving no trace of of an entrance of any kind. Naomi docked the phone. "Okay Damien, what's up." "Gimme a minute while I pull up a file." Damien's voice rang through the room's speakers and a photo was pulled up onto the screen. "This is Jack Sparrow, founder and CEO of Black Pearl Industries. Has two sons, Chase and Charlie Sparrow both aged 17." "Twins?" "No. Chase was born in January, Charlie in December the same year. Both very different academically. One's an ace student who has already earned himself a medical scholarship. The other... Is a bum. Hangs out with lots of girls, flunks all his subjects. Some might call him care free, I think he's just plain lazy." Naomi rolled her eyes. "Facts Damien, not opinions. I couldn't care less what you thought of him." "Fine." "Tell me more about Sparrow." "Everyone calls him captain. Apparently he owns the marina down at the docks. Also involved in researching and developing 'Trolls'." "Trolls..?" "Yes, it's a code for a type of nano organisms (bots) that have been programmed to devour flesh. Highly dangerous, highly wanted, extremely expensive." "Where do I come in?" "You are to watch Charlie, the youngest son. He is about to take a cruise with his class through the tropical regions. Rich kids." Damien snorts. "You want me to baby sit?!" " No not baby sit. Watch. We have reason to believe that there are others like yourself that are trying to get hold of Charlie in an attempt to make it big. If you come across them on this trip, kill. Kill without hesitation." Naomi removed her phone from the docking bay and put it to her ear. "You'll hear from me when the job's done." She switched the phone off.
Jack Three Weeks Earlier The CEO of Black Pearl Industries was a tall and charming man. As being neat was his nature, he had short cropped brown hair and dark grey eyes that seemed to hide many secrets. Women were naturally drawn to him by his casualness and killer smile. He was always torn between his two sons. One was a hardworking young man who had sense and the smarts, the younger one, was a die hard hooligan who often went gallivanting and who knows what else. Jack stood at his office window looking at the clouds in the air. The sparrows were playing in the skies, and Jack envied their freedom. He loved to watch the creatures soar high in the air, seemingly without a care in the world. The office door clicked open. Jack turned around and smiled as Chase walk in. "Are you looking at those stupid birds again?" Chase inquired. "No I wasn't." "You're a bad liar, you always look at those things whenever you stand at your window" Chase rolled his eyes and plonked himself on the chair opposite his fathers'. Jack merely chuckled. "There's little I can get past you Chase." Jack let Chase get away with almost anything, even pure rude behaviour was allowed, while his employees' words were always under scrutiny. Charlie on the other hand never got away with anything, he was always the one that got in trouble with his father. Jack made his way to his seat. "What can I do for you son." Chase looked at his father in the eyes. "I just wanted to discuss with you the possibilities of perhaps being given a chance to work on the Trolls." Chase started describing the ideas that he had to help Black Pearl Industries grow. Jack leaned back and just smiled to himself. He was proud of his son. All of a sudden, the office doors burst open and Charlie waltzed in with the secretary following behind trying to stop the young lad. "Hey Dad. Chase." "Charles, what brings you here?" Jack noticed his son's sloppy dressing style, "and do remember to dress properly the next time you come into my office" Chase rubbed his temples. "I'll be leaving soon anyway, so my clothes don't really matter. I'll be going on a school cruise for 2 weeks. We're heading for the tropics, and I'm here to inform you so that you don't send the whole army out to look for me." Charlie turned to walk away. "You cannot go Charlie. It's too dangerous. My decision is final. " Jack calmly replied. "Not like what you say matters Jack." Charles muttered under his breath and left the office. "You do know that he's still gonna go right?" Chase stated as a matter of fact. "Just let him go, maybe he might just learn something out there." Jack turned to face his older son. "Now where were we?"
Naomi Preset Day "Ma'am, your tickets please." Naomi passed the ticket that she had just received by mail a week ago to the ticket collector. "Thank you Miss Naomi, the Diamond Class rooms are down the stairs to the right. Hope you enjoy your stay with us." the attendant gave his biggest smile. Naomi nodded and took back her ticket. "Is there a guide or map to all the facilities on this ship?" "Everything can be found in your room Ma'am" "Thank you." As Naomi walked down the corridor leading to her quarters, a few young teenagers ran past her, giggling. "Oh my gosh, I bet Charlie would look so darn cute in the pool! I can't wait to get up there!" Naomi removed her shades and watched as the girls ran out of sight. "Popular kid. Punk." she muttered to herself as she turned to find that she had reached. Right by her room door was a small digital pad that read: "Please place your right thumb for identification" 'Whoa. High Tech.' Naomi thought to herself as she placed her thumb on the scanner. That's when she noticed in small print on the scanner, the words: Black Pearl Industries. Charlie Present Day Charlie was enjoying the attention. He knew that many of the girls around the pool had their eyes on him. "Whoa Charlie! The ship hasn't even left the docks and your hormones are already raging?! It's unforgivable man!" Charlie looked up to see Nathaniel grinning back at him. "Hey Nana, you gonna introduce me to your friend?" A tall young woman with amber coloured hair walked towards them and linked her arm through Nathaniel's. "Hey Babe. Qin, meet Charlie. Charlie, Qin." Charlie stretched out his hand to shake Qin's. "Sorry it's wet, nice to meet you Qin. Nathaniel never stops talking about you." "The pleasure's all mine Charlie. I've heard so much about you." "Hey, why don't we join you in the pool Charles. Then we can just catch up." Nathaniel suggested. "Sure," Charlie shrugged his shoulders "We can catch up." he winked at Qin. Qin rolled her eyes. "Great! We'll meet you in 20." The couple walked off. =========================== The woman heaved into the bridge another body. The captain's assistant and dumped the body atop the captain. She locked the cabin's door and put on the captain's uniform which she found in the cabinet at the back. "Phase 2 complete. Hold till I give the go for Phase 3." she spoke into her watch. "Roger that Cap'n. Over and out." The woman positioned herself on the Captain's seat and started the announcement camera. Her face started to appear on the screens all over the ship. "Good Morning Passengers. Welcome aboard the Black Pearl. My name is Kiara Akira, and i am the captain of this ship. As you know this ship is on it's maiden journey, and will be taking you through the tropics. I hope you'll enjoy your two-week journey with us. Thank you." Just as she finished making the announcement, a knock came on the cabin door. "Cap'n. Ninz and Josh reporting for duty." She opened the door and allowed the two men in. "Lock the door." she commanded. "We will now wait for Phase 3." ============================ The screen suddenly came on and a beautiful woman's face came on. "Good Morning..." Charlie looked up. "Whoa. That's one really hot Captain. And I'm gonna be under her care for 2 weeks? Sweet." Charlie smirked and lowered himself into the water for a swim.
