The Island Chapter 9(6)

The storm is coming
“You see that storm over there Owen?” Kanuba asked Owen on the beach. “It looks so beautiful far away, but when it’s come closer, it is a disaster right? Just like the danger itself, when there’s danger, it could be a wonderful thing to see in the beginning: Finding a paradise island, meeting some nice people, having some fun, even reunion with someone you care about. But when all is done, there won’t be anything wonderful left, but only the dust. I mean, with climate changing, this place is going to sink any time, so we will be toast by then huh.” Kanuba said something very thought-provoking. “But not you guys, you will be shipping away really soon, you will back to the mainland, back to your original life. Be a doctor, or even a lawyer, having a family......., and maybe having some babies. ” Kanuba realized he says something wrong, something will make Owen suspicious about him, and change his word quickly. “I thought so, Kanuba. Some people, they’ve seems very nice, very friendly. They treat you very well, and when you thought they are in no harm, the danger already calls the door. That’s so natural in our world, right? There are countless examples, pretty much every predator will try to trick their prey, making them come to a comfort zone and killed them all for once. I must say, nature is such a wonderful creation. It gives us the eyes to see the real villain, but most of the time we couldn’t saw it in the first place, so that’s why there’s someone who died from that, by ignoring the little details that could be a danger.” Owen answered while the sky is getting dark. “Well, you are a smart kid Owen, a really smart kid. But......” Suddenly Kanuba stopped smiling and turned to a very serious face: “Why don’t you tell me what this is about, having this conversation with me. I know you showed up on this beach, trying to making me spend more time with you so your friends can do something that I don’t know. Kanuba grabs Owen’s shoulder: “So let’s cut those crap, and tell me why are you here alright?”
