"BREAKING NEWS!!! HURRICANE IN SOUTH CAROLINA TODAY AROUND 5PM! GET YOUR FAMILYIES TO SAFTY AND LEAVE YOUR HOMES IF YOU ARE CLOSE TO WATER. STATES CLOSE BY PLEASE STAY CLEAR FROM THE WATER IF POSSIBLE. WATER WILL BE BUMPY AND WAVEY FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS, BUT ESPECIALLY TONIGHT AROUND 5PM," That's what the screen read on the bottom of the screen on the important bar of the News. It's also what the people on the News were talking about and telling people to be safe.

"Get your family to safety," and "Leave your homes now," are what the News directors were saying. Then they started talking about going to a collage that people can take refuge in for safety from the hurricane. It will be far enough away from the water and keep everyone safe. After the short information about the hurricane, the news cast people started talking about tornados in Tennessee and Kentucky. Robin turned the TV to mute volume and said,

"That will raise the ocean water by the shark!"

"Exactly what I was thinking and the shark will go free into the wild! And then we won't have to deal with it anymore and we will know it got out safe," Noah exclaimed happily.

"But the shark would have to get out of there quick, or else the water will go back to its normal place," Robin explained.

"Maybe we could make something to lure it out or buy something," Noah murmured.

"What?" Robin asked.

Noah repeated his plan a little louder and Robin said,

"That's not a horrible idea. We could do that," there was a silence and then Robin said,

"But remember after a hurricane and especially during one, the water will raise a lot and it will be really wavy and impossible to swim in,"

"Good point," said Doyle.

"Maybe we are over thinking this and the shark will come out on his own. After all, he has been in there for a long time and will want to come out," Noah said.

"But we can't just sit here and do nothing and hope that's what the shark does. What if we do nothing and the shark doesn't come out. Then we are back to square one and it's our problem again," Doyle explained slowly.

"True," Noah and Robin said at the same time.

After a long moment of silence Robin said something nobody was expecting,

"I have an idea, but it's kind of gross. Sharks love the smell of blood. If we could get our hands on just the smallest amount of it, I know the shark will come out,"

"Okay, but where are we supposed to go to get blood?" asked Doyle.

"Maybe a hospital or a zoo. We don't need a lot, just the tiniest bit. Sharks will come at any amount of it," Robin said.

"How about we go to the closest zoo and try, hospitals freak me out," said Doyle.

"Same. Okay, so is that our plan?" asked Noah.

"Yes," confirmed Robin. That's the only thing I can think of. If you guys have any other plan, please tell me," nobody interrupted so she kept talking, "And we have to go to the zoo now, because the hurricane will hit tonight. We don't have much time. Doyle, maybe your mom can drive us there since it's too far to walk to. We could pretend to look at the animals, but actually go ask some zookeepers if they have what we are looking for,"

"Sounds good, and Nicki will want to come too, so she can be a distraction without anybody even knowing!" Doyle said smiling.

Doyle texted his mom saying they wanted to go to the zoo for a while and asked if that was okay and if so, could she drive them there. As they waited for a response, the kids explained the plan over again for more clarification.

A while later, Doyle's mom responded saying yes and that dad would go instead because she was going out with some friends tonight and she was in the middle of getting ready to go. After that, all three kids waited on the front porch with their bags. They were happy something was finally going right. They had all planned that the shark would be free before they started school again. For Robin, it didn't matter though because she was homeschooled.

Once the dad pulled up to Robin's house about 15 minutes later, the kids got in. Doyle sat in the passenger seat next to his dad and Noah and Robin in the back seats with Nicki.

The whole ride to the zoo, Nicki was playing with her stuffed animal hippo, giraffe, and dolphin and making them talk to each other with different voices. Every time Nicki went to the zoo, her mom or dad (depending on who went with her) would always buy her a stuffed animal for the memory of going. She told everyone that she wanted a flamingo or a lion this time.

Noah had texted his parents telling them where he was going. After about 20 minutes of in the car, they finally arrived at the zoo. They were all surprised to see all the crowds of people and the cars waiting for a good parking spot. Then Robin remembered that the zoo was having a new Gorilla exhibit today that was being released for the first time. Then Nicki changed her mind and said she wanted a gorilla stuffed animal instead.

They parked, which took a while because of all thepeople there today. Finally they got out of the car and had to walk for awhile, since they had parked very far away due to all the crowds. Not tomention the long wait in line took up lots of time too just standing thereinching forward every two minutes. Finally, after what felt like forever, theygot to the paying counter, Doyle's dad payed and they walked into the zoo.
