Chapter 2: The Return

Marina's POV:
I woke up to pearl cuddling me. "Awwww, Pearlie is so cute...." I said to myself.
I walked to the Crust Bucket to get Pearl a sandwich. Afterwards, I walked to my bed.
"Pearlie, wake up! "
"H-huh?" Pearl jumped out of bed.
"It's time for breakfast, Pearlie~"
She looked at me.
"MARINA, WE'RE LATE!"
I looked at the clock. It was 8:40.
We were supposed to meet up with agent 8 at 8:20.
The phone started ringing immediately.
"Yo! It's me, Pearl!"
It was Agent 8.
"We were supposed to meet up 20 minutes ago." Agent 8 groaned.
"I'll be there in a sec. Bye!" Pearl hung up.
Before saying anything to me, she rushed toward the closet to get dressed.
Me, who already got dressed, just helped Pearl get dressed.
A few minutes later, we were already at Octo Canyon.
Callie waved at us politely, while Marie stared at pearl in an intense manner.
I walked over to Callie.
"Hi! By the way, Agent 3 is going with you guys. 4 is grounded though...."
" Oh, that's fine ! " I said, looking At Callie.
If she knew what would happen later on, she would have never said yes.
I looked at agent 8. "Let's just go! I'm getting impatient, Yo!" Pearl groaned.
"Fine. Let's just go." Scoffed Agent 3. She had an annoyed expression on her face, as if agent 8 forced her to come with.
Agent 4 got up off the ground, but Marie turned to look her in the eyes.
" You can't go with, Agent 4. "
Those words wiped the smug expression off agent 4's face.
"Moooom!! Please???? I'm sorry!"
Marie looked at her in shame. "We already went over this, 4. I'm NOT your mother. " she sighed, and looked at agent 4.
"Let's just go get ice cream or something..."
Agent 4 was grounded because she threw a splat bomb at Callie. Marie said she didn't know why, but it was obviously for a good reason.
I still thought about it later on. Why would someone as pure-hearted as agent 4 do such a thing?
It didn't really surprise Pearlie, though.
After we arrived, CQ Cumber looked at us with his non-existent eyes.
Like, Seriously. How does CQ cumber see us??????? He has no eyes. Not even an ear.
How does he know when an 8-ball falls and why does he care so much? It's Just An 8-ball!?
Is he in love with it?
I've been talking for too long. Let's get to the point. He looked us in the eyes, and said "there's been a minor inconvenience."
Wait, HOW DOES HE TALK? HE HAS NO MOUTH.
"Minor?" I asked.
"Not really. Kamabo Co. is back in business, to say the least. Be careful out there."
We really didn't get it. We thought he was joking anyway, so we moved on.
If only we knew what was about to happen.
This time, he wasn't here for Inkopolis. He was here for revenge.
For everything we had.
We should've known we would've gotten into even worse trouble.
