Rushing to the Docks

Jack and Slivia had long since returned to the association building. Jack was very shy to hold Slivia's hand within the association building, but she held on extra tight to make sure he couldn't escape. This caused some commotion and rumors to develop the moment they entered the reception area.

Each of the association members sat down to a nice meal in their small restaurant, happy to have their cook back. By the time the storm had encompassed the entire town, most people were either sleeping or drinking the night away. Jack was one of the former, enjoying a good night's sleep.

Unexpectedly, a hard knock came from the locked entrance, and everyone could here someone tried to force their way in. Then, they heard a shout from behind the door. "Come quickly! The pier is under attack! Open the door!"

Maynard instantly appeared in front of the door and unlocked the latch, letting in a man who was soaked from head to toe.
