"were now here mark, back to civilization." josh said as they landed on the port of caraga in davao oriental

They were both now at the port where the port officials all wonder what happened to them. It was already about 6pm as josh last checked his watch.
"its josh mavric!"

"yes, it is! What are you doing here?! and all wet!"

"i was just rescuing this boy from certain doom in the seas." josh said as the port officials all have no comment. "For now, can I go towards a hotel where we can have a nice shower?"

"y-yes! Of course! But you must also explain to us what just happened along the way."

"sure, thats no problem." josh said before they all go towards a car

Inside the car, josh explained everything that has happened during his trip to the pacific ocean, which the port officials have no comment on aside from sadness. Even as they left josh with the boy in that hotel, as the boy wouldnt leave his side, josh booked a room for both of them on that hotel.

"hey mark, can you wash yourself by the way?" josh asked mark when they got inside the room

"yes, I can." mark said as he sat on a bed

"good, though we have to also dry up what your carrying right now. Can you give it to me?" josh said as mark nears him

As josh looks closely at the boy, he was like an american kid, right about 8-10 years old.

"can you promise not to take this away from me?" mark

"sure, I wont. Im just gonna dry that as well." josh

"what about you mister? When are you going to get a bath?" mark

"after you mark, besides, I can dry myself a bit." josh said laying his hand out

"alright then, here it is." mark said as he gave to josh the remote control of the drone

"this is like a remote control of sorts for a drone! This is what that idiot boss left for his only child?" josh said as he gripped the handle of the remote

"dont be mad mister." mark said comforting josh
"the name is josh kid, josh mavric, remember that." josh said patting marks head

"my name is mark skipper by the way! Say, do you know where dad might be?" mark

"im afraid that hes long gone mark, im sorry." josh

"its alright. He was a good dad to me, and taught me many things. Though he was still very busy with his work." mark

"what was his work by the way?" josh

"his normal work is being the head professor at an english university. Though I don't go there, they say that my dad was meant for great things." mark

"and where is your mom?" josh

"my moms dead, giving birth to me." mark

"oh, alright then. Can you take a bath for now?" josh

"ok." mark said as he heads towards the bathroom

"please put your clothes on your bed later so that I can also dry them!" josh said before mark agrees

While mark was also bathing, josh turned on the remote for the drone to see what was captured. After a few minutes of watching, he saw what might be signs of a lost city under the sand, all before the drone itself was crushed due to pressure.

"this really is the find of the century. I have to report this to general cesar." josh said being surprised and all

as he also dries his phone using the hair dryer that he asked from the reception, 2 souls came to him.
