2007
Tom groaned as the light hit his eyes in from the window.
"Ugh. How come the sun didn't use to come through the window?" Tom asked his wife who was facing the other way she also looked to be at least 3 months pregnant.
"We came here in August. Its summer now honey." Mara said before Tom stood up to get his pants on. "Do you see David?" Mara asked.
"Probably out in the yard." Tom said.
Tom and his squad were here for Military reasons since a small base was being built on the island. The army here were acting police officers of a sorts since the island didnt have any at the moment due to the lack of trouble it had for the past 50 years. David soon walked in.
"Mom I got cut. I got hit by a vampire." David said showing his bleeding hand making Tom scoff in amusement.
"Very funny. I told you to stay away from those swings their dangerous." Tom said before the phone rang. "Yeah? What is it Sam? Missing person. Yeah I got it I'll be right there." Tom said hanging up.
"What happened?" Mara asked cleaning David of his wound.
"Some girl went missing last night. Ross is meeting me there with his little protege Major Glenn Talbot." Tom said going outside to the truck.
Later
"So no one saw her go into the water?" Tom asked Ross.
"Someone might have. The last guy who saw her was passed out from drinking to much. Couldn't hold his liquor." Ross said.
"Lightweight." Talbot said making Tom chuckle.
"How long you been in the army Glenn?" Tom asked.
"About maybe 2 or 3 years now. My father was in the army before he died in the line of duty. I wanted to follow his footsteps." Talbot said before Packard used his whistle to get their attention making them rush over to him only to see a rather brutal sight.
"What the?" Tom said seeing the body of the woman who was missing or what was left. "Oh Jesus Christ." Tom said.
"The hell did that?" Ross asked.
Later
"Possible Shark Attack." Tom said placing the probable death of the victim. "Sam where are the closed beach signs?" Tom asked.
"This place has never had them before." Sam said.
"No? Fine we'll make them." Tom said. "Glenn I want a list of all the water activities." Tom said before leaving.
"You got it sir." Talbot said.
Later
While Tom had tried to close the beaches down till they could find out what happened the mayor wouldn't let him saying it was a probably boating accident.
So later he took his wife and oldest Son to the beach to clear his mind.
"Tom are you ok?" Mara asked.
"Yeah just thinking. I cant believe the mayor wont let me close the beaches. You'd think the man would have common sense." Tom said.
"Well think about it this place is very small. They need all the money they can get." Mara said.
While this was going on something was lurking in the water passing by the swimming children before seeing someone on a raft and soon went towards it and then.
"What the?" Tom said seeing something attacking the raft before seeing a blood bath. "GET EVERYONE OUT!" Tom yelled getting the parents to get their children out of the water quickly. Mara quickly got David out of the water.
"David are you alright?" Tom asked.
"Yeah I'm fine." David said before a woman was screaming for her Son Alex before seeing his raft was destroyed covered in blood.
Later
"THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!" Tom yelled at the mayor in front of a crowd of people.
"Now look General I was just..." The Mayor tried to say till Tom shoved him into the wall making everyone tense up in fear.
"SHUT IT! As of right now the beaches are closed Until I say otherwise. Also I've called in for an expert to help deal with this problem since I don't trust anyone else here to get the job done right." Tom said.
"You cant do that." A business woman said.
"WATCH ME!" Tom yelled making her jump back in fright.
"Tom easy." Sam said.
"I can kill this shark for you General." A man said making them all look to see a man who was known as Quint a shark hunting expert. "But it wont be cheep I'll tell you that. 10,000 to find him and kill him. 200 a day for each day it takes." Quint said.
"I'll consider it. But for now the beaches stay closed and if I find anyone who tries to ignore this just to make a few bucks I'll have you in a cell for the rest of the summer." Tom said as he and his team left.
"Didn't know the general had an anger management issue." Talbot said to Ross.
"You'd be surprised how angry he can get when civilians are in danger." Ross said.
Later
Tom was looking over photos of Shark Attacks.
"You ok?" Mara asked sitting next to him.
"Yeah. I just cant believe how greedy this goddamn town." Tom said.
"Well try to understand it from their view. They depend on the summer visitors for their very lives. True they could be a little more cautious but they still need the money for their own families." Mara said.
"Yeah I guess. Wheres David?" Tom asked.
"On his Birthday present." Mara said making his eyes widen and quickly went outback to see David on his small boat.
"Damnit. David out of the boat!" Tom yelled.
"Oh come on dad just a little longer please." David said
"Tomas it's his birthday tomorrow." Mara said.
"I don't want him out in the water." Tom argued.
"He's not in the water he is in a boat. I don't think he'll ever go into the water again after what happened." Mara said making him sigh.
"Now don't say that. You know I don't want that." Tom said.
Next morning
"The hell is going on here?" Tom asked seeing more Fishermen then usual at the docks getting geared up.
"Alex's mother posted a reward for the shark that killed her son. 3,000 dollars to be exact." Talbot said.
"Looks like a goddamn mercenary group if you ask me." Tom said as they went to make sure no one got hurt.
While this was going on a ten year old boy drove a boat to the docks and a fisherman tied the boat up to the docks. The boy got out of the boat.
"Hello." The boy said to the fisherman who tied up the boat.
"Hello back young feller. How are you?" The Fisherman asked before the boy swung a bag over his shoulder. "Say I hope you're not going out with those nuts are ya?" The man asked making him chuckle.
"Nope." The boy said.
"Ross we need more troops down here. We got more people then the four of us can handle." Talbot said.
"I'll see what I can do." Ross said on the radio before a boy walked into the office.
"Can I help you kid?" Talbot asked.
"Yeah can you help me find Major Talbot?" The Boy asked making him raise an eyebrow.
"Who are you?" Talbot asked.
"Sean Ashburn Kruger. My dad asked me to come down from the oceanographic institute." Sean said making him widen his eyes.
"You? I was expecting someone..." Talbot tried to say.
"Older? Yeah I get that a lot." Sean said before Sam walked in.
"Well about time you showed up son." Sam said pulling him into a hug.
"Hey Sam." Sean said.
"Is this really the General's son?" Talbot asked.
"Yup. The nations next Pride and Joy." Sam said making Sean roll his eyes.
"Are you ever going to stop calling me that?" Sean asked before Tom and Wade walked in.
"There you are." Tom said.
"Hey Dad." Sean said.
"Learn something new everyday." Talbot said making Tom chuckle.
"Trust me theres almost nothing my son cant do. Now what do you suggest we do first?" Tom asked.
"Well first I think its best for me to see the remains of the first victim." Sean said.
Later
"Victim identified as Christine Watkins, Female Caucasian." Sean said reading the report before the medical inspector showed him the remains or what little of making Sean raise an eyebrow before removing the sheet on top of the remains making Sean sigh.
"Torso has been severed in mid-thorax. There are no major organs remaining. Can I have a glass of water, Please?" Sean asked the medical inspector who nods.
"So what do you think Son? Boating accident or shark attack?" Sam asked.
"Do I really need to answer that? Didn't you guys get on a boat and check out these waters?" Sean asked a little annoyed.
"We tried. The mayor shut us down before Tom shut down the beaches." Ross said.
"This was no boating accident. It wasn't a propeller. Wasn't a coral Reef and it sure as heck wasn't Jack the ripper." Sean said taking a gulp of water. "It was a shark and a big one at that." Sean said.
Later
A group of fishermen hanged up a shark up above the docks.
"Well theres your Shark." Talbot said.
"That remains to be seen." Sean said going to inspect it.
"Hey Kid." The Fishermen from before said.
"Hey. Where did you find it?" Sean asked inspecting the mouth.
"Up North. So what do you think? This the shark that killed that boy yesterday?" The man asked.
"Um." Sean said inspecting the mouth size. "No this isn't the right shark." Sean said surprising them.
"What how can you tell kid?" One of the fishermen asked.
"The bite radius doesn't match the one from the first victim." Sean said.
"First victim? I thought there was only one." One of the fishermen said making Sean frown.
"Who told you that kid was the only victim?" Sean asked.
"The mayor did." The man said.
"General looks like we can reopen the beaches again." The Mayor said.
"Only if this is the right shark." Tom said making him frown.
"Hey Mayor? Why didn't you tell us there was another person attacked by a shark?" One of the Fishermen asked making the others think the same.
"I Uh don't..." The Mayor tried to say.
"Anyone got a knife?" Sean asked.
"Here kid." One of the fishermen said handing him a large knife before Sean began to cut it open.
"What is that boy doing?" The Mayor asked.
"Thats my son and he's making sure this is the right shark." Tom said.
"Oh no general that wont be necessary please stop him." The Mayor said before the shark was cut open and the contents of the stomach were exposed revealing just fish and garbage.
"This isn't the right shark." Sean said making all the fishermen groan.
"Says who? You? Your just a kid." The mayor said before Sean walked up to him and kicked him in the balls surprising the others while Tom and his team chuckled in amusement.
"Listen to me idiot. Unlike you I know what I'm doing." Sean said.
"Beaches stay closed until further noticed." Tom said.
Later at night
Sean, Talbot and Wade were on a large boat looking for the Shark.
"Who pays for all this crap? The institute the government?" Talbot asked Sean.
"Nope I made all this myself." Sean said making him raise an eyebrow.
"Really?" Talbot asked a little skeptical.
"Yup. Ask Eiling there." Sean said before the radar picked something up.
"Whats that?" Talbot asked.
"Fish finder. Must be a group of fish swimming together." Sean said before taking a closer look. "Wait." Sean said adjusting the settings. "Or not. Something is out there alright." Sean said before they came to a wrecked boat.
"Thats Ben Gardner's boat." Wade said.
"You know him?" Sean asked.
"Yeah he's a local fisherman. The hell happened here?" Wade asked seeing the boat was totaled.
"I need to get a closer look." Sean said getting some gear.
"Wait why not just tow it in?" Talbot asked.
"We might lose something down there." Sean said getting his gear on.
"Come on kid lets just tow it in." Talbot said trying to talk him out of this.
"Relax Major I've done this since I was 7." Sean said chuckling.
"You good?" Wade asked.
"Yup." Sean said diving in.
"That kid is nuts." Talbot said making Wade chuckle.
"Runs in the family of risking their lives." Wade said.
Sean went down to the hull seeing large holes on the bottom before seeing a large tooth of a great white lodged in.
'Oh thats not good.' Sean thought before heading towards one of the larger holes only to see the dead body of Ben Gardner missing an eye. Sean panicked and rushed up to the surface.
"Jesus! Son what happened!" Wade asked pulling him up.
"Your friend is fish food. I pulled this out of the hull." Sean said showing the tooth.
"Holy shit. That is one big ass tooth." Talbot said inspecting it.
"You don't know the half of it." Sean said. "That tooth belongs to a great White Shark." Sean said.
Next morning
"Mayor's not budging about closing the beaches. I tried my best even showed him the tooth. Since Dad was needed elsewhere for now he thinks He's in the clear to open the beaches." Sean said.
"Goddamn greedy bastard." Ross said.
"Any suggestions son?" Sam asked.
"Yeah Sure. Form a perimeter around the beaches use shark nets to keep it away from the civilians. Use how many troops are available to keep a close eye out incase it comes to the beach." Sean said.
Doing just that they secured the beaches. Of course no one was getting in the water due to them hearing the events of course the greedy mayor managed to get some people into the water and others followed.
"Oh great." Sean said from a boat seeing the civilians in the water. "Can I shoot this guy if someone gets hurt?" Sean asked making Shepherd chuckle.
"I would be disappointed if you didn't." Shepherd said making Sean chuckle.
Talbot had convinced David to go into the pond just to be safe incase something happened.
"Talbot do you see anything I thought I saw a shadow." Sean said.
"Negative must be the glare from the water." Talbot said.
Everything seemed peaceful till some people spotted a sharks fin and panicked.
"Jesus Christ! Fin! Shark over there!" Wade yelled.
"Talbot get everyone out of the water now!" Sean yelled.
Of course since everyone panicked a few people were injured when they were getting out of the water.
The Sharks fin soon approached the soldiers but when it stopped moving a couple of boys appeared.
"You have got to be kidding me." Sean said annoyed making them look fearful since the soldiers aimed their weapons at them.
"He made me do it! He talked me into it!" One of the boys said pointing at the other.
"I don't care! Get out of the water!" Sean yelled.
"Sean whats going on?" Talbot asked.
"Talbot it's a hoax. There are two idiot kids with a cardboard fin. Did everyone get out of the water ok?" Sean asked.
"Mostly. Minor injuries but nothing fatal." Talbot said before a woman started screaming a shark was going into the pond. "Hang on I'll get back to you." Talbot said rushing to the pond.
David and a few kids his age got attacked by the shark along with a middle aged man who was eaten by the Great white and then the Shark swam past David.
"David!" Sean yelled rushing to his brother.
"Don't worry son he's just in minor shock." Sam said as he pulled him up.
Later
Sean had forced the mayor to hire Quint to kill the shark or he would be put on Trial for reckless endangerment of innocent lives.
"Coming along to get payback on the shark that put your older brother in the hospital boy? I can respect that. But let me be very clear. My boat my rules. You listen to me and do exactly as I say. Got it son?" Quint said.
"You got no problem from me sir." Sean said making him laugh.
"Thats what I like to hear." Quint said.
Soon Quint, Talbot and Sean were getting everything loaded onto the boat.
"Lots of fancy equipment you got here son. Whats this?" Quint asked seeing a metal cage.
"Anti-Shark Cage. If theres one thing you learn being a military family is you never go out unprepared." Sean said making him chuckle.
"Damn right son." Quint said.
Later
Soon the three were out at sea hunting the shark.
"Major start that chum line again." Quint said.
"Why cant Sean do it?" Talbot asked having enough of the smell.
"The boy drives the boat Major." Quint said making him sigh and got the awful smelling dead fish. Quint saw Sean playing a game of solitaire. "Didn't take you as a boy who loved this game son." Quint said.
"Ross taught me how to play this." Sean said.
"Slow ahead if you would." Quint said making Sean put the cards away and did as asked.
"You heard him slow ahead." Talbot said.
"You know you don't have to hide the fact that you hate that stuff." Sean said grinning from up top of the boat.
"Slow ahead. I can go slow ahead. Come down and chum some of this shit." Talbot said.
"No thanks." Sean said as Talbot was throwing the chum out the shark came out of the water making Talbot widen his eyes as it went back under. Talbot slowly backed up and went to Quint.
"You're going to need a bigger boat." Talbot said confusing him till he went to the back and saw the shark.
"Son shut off that engine." Quint said making Sean do that and looked back and saw why.
"Whoa!" Sean said seeing the sheer size of the shark. "Thats got to be 20-25 footer." Sean said.
"25 alright. Three tons on him." Quint said before Sean rushed down.
"Talbot come up front I need your help." Sean said as Quint went to ready up a harpoon gun. "He's circling the dang boat! Look at the size of him." Sean said as they made it to the front. "Come on Talbot! Move! Move! Move!" Sean yelled.
"I'm not going out there!" Talbot yelled.
"Beyond the edge of the barrels!" Sean said making Talbot do that or so he thought. "Further out!" Sean yelled.
"What for!" Talbot yelled.
"I need to have something in the foreground to give it some scale." Sean said trying to take a picture.
"Foreground my ass!" Talbot yelled.
"I'm begging you!" Sean yelled.
"I'm not staying here!" Talbot yelled going to get Quint.
"Talbot! Gosh Darn it!" Sean yelled taking some pictures as best he could before Quint and Talbot came back.
"Son. Tie this barrel up." Quint said.
"Ugh! Fine!" Sean said tying the barrel up fast before he was finished and attached a small blinking device to it. "SHOOT!" Sean yelled getting Quint to shoot the Shark in the fin and dragged the barrel with it.
"Alright son follow him." Quint said.
"Free another Barrel!" Sean yelled following the shark. They followed it for about 2 minutes before the barrel went under. "Dang it!" Sean said.
"What do we do now?" Talbot asked.
"We got one barrel on him so we wait till it comes up." Sean said.
Next Morning
The Shark had attacked the boat during the night before vanishing again.
"Aw great. All our injectors got scored from the salt water in the fuel!" Sean said.
"Yeah, the housing's bent. You can hear it." Quint said. Suddenly the barrel came up.
"What was that?" Sean asked getting up.
"The Barrel is right there." Talbot said making them get up.
"Here." Quint said handing Sean a stick with a hook on the end.
"Quint. If I can get close enough I got some things that could kill it." Sean said.
"Lets just get that barrel up first son." Quint said before Sean got the line and pulled it up. "Here give it to me a minute." Quint said taking the line from him only for the Shark to suddenly comeuppance and snag the line away and splashed them.
"Ok its official I hate Great Whites." Sean said spitting some water out making Quint chuckle.
"Haul in that line or it'll foul us. Start the engine." Quint said before Talbot came down. "Where are you going?" Quint asked
"I'm gonna make a phone call." Talbot said making Quint frown. Talbot tried to use the Radio but Quint smashed it up with a baseball bat making Sean widen his eyes.
"Excuse me, Major." Quint said before Talbot snapped.
"THATS GREAT! THATS JUST GREAT! NOW WHERE THE HELL ARE WE HUH!" Talbot yelled smashing the rest of the Radio. "YOU'RE CERTIFIABLE, QUINT YOU KNOW THAT!" Talbot yelled.
"Hey guys? I think our shark is back for his noon feeding." Sean said making them look outside seeing the shark.
"Hook me up another barrel." Quint said getting Sean to do just that. Quint went up front where Sean handed his harpoon gun to him and shot the Shark again making another barrel follow him. "Bring her around after him!" Quint yelled making Sean follow the shark.
"Man this is one fast fish." Sean said as he followed the shark. Quint got in range again and shot another barrel at the Shark leaving Two barrels on it before they stopped moving. "Whats he doing now?" Sean asked.
"You're the Shark expert you tell me. Why don't we start leading it to shore instead of it leading us out to sea?" Talbot asked.
"Quint?" Sean asked.
"Grabe a couple polls." Quint said getting them to do just that and quickly got the lines and tied them to the back of the boat before the Shark tried to chew his way through the line.
"Oh great not again! Quint!" Sean yelled. Quint came back with another Harpoon ready.
"Out of my way son." Quint said firing at the shark tagging him with three barrels. However despite the fact that the shark was tied up he was stronger and started pulling the boat.
"Oh you have got to be kidding me! Untie the lines now!" Sean yelled before they came off.
"You ever deal with a shark like this son?" Quint asked.
"No. Not once like this." Sean said.
"We're going to sink aren't we?" Talbot asked.
"No. Quint we need to lure him into the shallows." Sean said.
"Right." Quint said heading up and drove the boat to the shallows. While they did lure the shark it didn't last long since the engines were badly damaged from last night before they blew.
"WHOA!" Sean yelled before Talbot got him out of the way.
"You ok?" Talbot asked.
"Yeah I'm fine." Sean said before coughing slightly from the smoke.
"Now what?" Talbot asked.
"I don't know. I've never dealt with anything like this." Sean said.
"Son." Quint said handing him a life jacket.
"We're screwed aren't we?" Talbot asked making Quint sigh before looking at some equipment of Sean's.
"Son can you do anything with these?" Quint asked.
"Uh if I can get close enough I can 20 CC's of Strychnine nitrate into him. But it has to be in the mouth or the eyes." Sean said.
"Not through the skin?" Quint asked.
"No doesn't work that way. But if I can get him close enough to this cage I might be able to..." Sean tried to say.
"That shark will rip through that fucking cage!" Talbot said.
"YOU GOT ANY BETTER SUGGESTIONS!" Sean yelled.
Later
Talbot decided to go in the cage since he didn't want Sean to get eaten by the Shark.
"Do try to be careful down there." Sean said handing him a knife.
"I live for this kind of fun." Talbot joked making Sean chuckle before going under.
"Don't worry Son I'm sure he'll be fine." Quint said.
Minutes passed and suddenly the Cage came up and was completely destroyed by the shark.
"Oh my...What are we dealing with here!" Sean yelled having enough of this before the Shark jumped onto the boat and tried to get them. Sean and Quint got into the front of the ship before the last air tank Sean had smashed Quint's fingers making him scream and lost his grip. Sean quickly grabbed his arm but he slipped right through and screamed as he slipped towards the Shark.
"AHHHHH!" Quint screamed as the Shark bites down on him from the waist before Blood spilled out of Quint's mouth and was dead before the shark dragged him under.
"Oh man." Sean said before heading back inside the boat to get some supplies. However the shark busted through the window. "AHHH!" Sean yelled before grabbing the last air tank and threw it into his mouth making it retreat.
(Insert Blown to bits from Jaws soundtrack)
Sean got out the boat and had Quint's riffle before heading up the top. Soon he saw the Shark again heading straight towards him.
"Alright show me the tank. Show me the tank. Blow up." Sean said before.
BANG!
Sean fired the first round and missed.
BANG!
BANG!
"BLOW UP!" Sean yelled firing his third round.
BANG!
BANG!
"Smile you son of a bitch!" Sean yelled before firing again and...
BOOM!
Sean hit the tank blowing the Shark up to bits before spitting out the pieces.
"AHHHH HAHAHAHAHA! FUCK YOU!" Sean yelled laughing his ass off as the body of the Shark drifted to the bottom of the ocean. Sean sighed seeing it was over.
Talbot soon emerged from the water seeing the boat was totaled. He found Sean and swam to him. Sean saw him and sighed in relief.
"Oh thank fucking Christ." Sean said making him chuckle.
"Oh so now you curse huh?" Talbot asked making Sean laugh. "Quint?" Talbot asked.
"No." Sean said. "Got to admit we make a pretty damn good team." Sean said making him chuckle.
"Yeah I guess we do." Talbot said before they used the last two barrels to get to shore.
Present
"Whoa." Turok said surprised.
"Yeah thats why he's my second in command. And that wasn't our only big adventure." Sean said.
"We've had plenty back then." Talbot said.
