7 Guns

Felix and Will had set up a little shooting range. Felix told Will everything about safety with guns and what he can do with them, "They're good for hunting, defending yourself, sliding down ropes, and opening locks. There's two safety features that way it doesn't just go off," He pointed to one on the handle and the other on the shaft, "Recoil is different depending on the type of gun you have and this one has a good amount. It's always good to know your way around your gun cause it's going to be with you this whole trip. Another thing you will need to know is how much ammo you have in each gun, yours has eight bullets per magazine. You can take out the magazine by holding this button," He put his finger on the side of the gun and pressed the button, the magazine fell out and he shoved it back in with the palm of his hand, "Once a bullet is in the chamber after changing the magazine you can just let her rip."

Felix cocked the gun and with one hand, in a fluid motion, hit all the targets. He handed the gun and a magazine to Will so that he could try. Mimicking Felix, Will clicked the new magazine in, pulled back the hammer, and aimed.

"Your hands are shaking. And you don't have the proper stance or posture."

Will put down the gun and sighed, "This is useless."

"No, it's not. You just need confidence. You don't need to worry about what you're shooting, but why you're shooting: survival." He reassured.

"Yeah, I guess."

"And let's be honest here... it's badass. How 'bout we take a break?" He suggested.

"Sure."

Felix left Will by himself on the beach, he sat down, set the gun beside him, and looked out at the shipyard. Will's pocket buzzed, it was the device LZ gave him. He pulled it out:

'What did you find?'

Will pondered if he should actually say something.

'If you don't answer at least once every day, your family will experience something worse than death.'

Will sighed and sent a message:

'Found confirmation that the treasure is in the triangle.'

Will put the device back in his pocket. Looking back out at the sunken ships, Will suddenly got an idea: 'I'm gonna need my swimsuit.'
