Jav sat at the helm and quickly searched for a hidden key. Those things had a nasty habit of showing up after he'd already damaged the vehicle. Finding no key he moved his hands to the panel beneath the wheel and broke it off. He pulled a knife from his pocket, cut a red and blue wire and stuck them together bringing the engines to life. "come on Nail man, cast off the lines and get over here" he said with a sense of urgency. Obviously someone would have heard that. On top of that that sail boat was nearly out of sight.

Nail undid the lines from the dock as fast as he could. As much as he thought it was silly following a sailboat that had "fate" on it, he didn't want to disappoint Jav since it was his job to protect him. So, after doing that, he grabbed his rifle and quickly hopped in...sliding into a seat next to Jav.

Jav threw the boat into reverse and the two quickly pulled away from the docks just as some security guards showed up. "Sorry..catch ya later dudes" He then put it into first gear and floored the gas pedal sending them rocketing out into open water. "WOOOWEEEE...this thing has some get up and go dont she? This things pushin 800hp at least" He said as they glided over the glass like water of the lake at about 80mph.
"Man, I'm for real, I hope this is just a trap cuz I dont feel like saving the world right now...I really just don't. That stuff's for that, um, what's his face, Sonic...yea... that dude to take care of not some former outlaw and some....what do you do anyways..me and you havent even been properly introduced yet have we?" he yelled over the howl of the wind, the roar of the water, and thunder of the engines.

"I'm a mercenary," Nail called out, trying to be heard over the tremendous noise. "My actual name is Augustine Strafer, but everyone just calls me by my nickname Nail. And right now, the job I've been hired for is to protect you. You're worth a lot to me right now, you know. 1.2 million rings, to be exact."

"Well..I wouldnt worry bout me too much I've gotta nasty habit of making it through one way or another you just worry about keeping yourself in good shape and I'll see about earnin ya some big bucks. Just ask Danny and Carrie's dad, I've given that old man so many heart attacks it's just not funny anymore. The lil dudes love it when I do something....Javish, as they put it, but not Jordan he wants no part in it. I dont see why he's always so shocked when I do crazy things. I mean I spent eight years doing stuff like that on a daily basis. It's like second nature to me. I mean do you really expect me to just up and be a good boy. I'm startin to hate havin a leash around my neck all the time It's just so...oh crap I'm ranting arent I?" he stopped short in his rant having caught himself.

Just as he opened his mouth to say something else the engines began spitting and sputtering. "alrighty..what's that?" he asked turning to look at the engines belching out black smoke and something smelt oddly like burnt rubber and eggs. "I think we have problems" he said. He turned back around to see the sailboat was now a distant speck of light on the horizon. "well...we lost it..guess you were right Nail...*sigh*...lets get to shore before these engines give out".

James pulled the boat to shore losing engine power just as they ran aground. "*sigh* well come on" he said crawling over the side into waste deep water. "better be careful..this water looks like it'd be over your head" he warned as he waided through the water towards the rocky beach. The beach was a treasure trove of rocks of every shape and size from the sand grain to the truck sized boulder. The area was bathed in dark twilight...it was creepy really. Completely silent and devoid of movement.

Nail jumped overboard as well...holding his rifle up high so that he didn't get it wet. But like Jav said, he was shorter, so he went all the way in regardless. In any case, Nail thrust the rifle over the water as fast as he could. As Nail walked to shore, looking kind of silly with his fur drooping down from the water...he wondered what they'd do now. "All right...so...what's our next course of action, now that we lost the sail boat?"

"I dont really kn.." he stopped short as his eyes turned to Nail. A smile slowly spread across his face his chest pumping in and out as he stifled a laugh until it was simply too much to bear. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA y,,you look like a wet paper bag hahahahahahahaha" he laughed out as he bent over and put his hands on his knees.

"Let me just say you're very lucky you're worth 1.2 million rings to me," Nail sighed. "Or I might have to send my killer cats after you. Not that I...have any..." Another sigh. He gestured towards the beach in front of them "Now, shall we? Are we just going to head back to the parking lot or are we going to keep looking around?"

James chuckled on for a few moments before finally regaining his composure. "killer cats huh..well...bring em on then" he said playfully dancing around with his fists raised. "haha..alright lets quit playin around. I guess we'll look around for a bit and then head back...she said fate would guide us" he said shrugging.

(From Lakeside Piracy)
At that moment, a female green parrot dressed just like a pirate captain began to approach, accompanied by a group of crew members, one of which was holding a metal detector.

(Johnny) "Looks like they're having trouble with their boat, Captain."
(Olive) "And why in the name of Davy Jones are we supposed to care? We're PIRATES!"

Captain Olive slowed to a stop in front of Jav and Nail. As she did, she kept one hand on the hilt of her cutlass, suspecting that she would need it very soon. Johnny stood beside her.

(Johnny) "Are the two of you having trouble with something?"
