FC Fighters 2 G.S.C.: Chp 53

Chp 53: Anyone Home?
Rock walked over to the boat and the guy there said "You need something kid?" "I need to get to Metal Harbor." said Rock. "Find another boat kid." snapped the man, "I don't give free rides to no one!" "Not even one who's a friend of Jessica Carbuncle?" said Rock. The man looked at him and said "You know Jess, eh?" "That's right." replied Rock, "She got me out of a jam some time ago at Green Hill Zone. She told me to speak with you to get to Metal Harbor." "I see.." said the man, "But you know that there won't be a fight there till next month." Rock looked at him for a moment and said with a low tone "I guess that you're talking about the Station Square Fight Club." "Yep." said the man, "Someone else 'booked' the venue." "That would be Mr. Saulnier." said Rock, "He's got a fighting tournament going on and one of his fighters is over there right now." "Ah, I see." said the man, "Well, hop in kid. I'll take you there." Rock came abord the small boat after taking the line off the dock. "It will take an hour or two," said the man, "But will be there for that fight." "It won't be happening until tomorrow." said Rock. "Gotch yea." said the man, "Then keep clear of Werehouse 13 until your fight. A lot of shady deals go on there. It seems every other week there's a body found there of some thug or gang leader." 'Yikes!' jumped Rock in his mind, 'What have I gotten myself into?!' An hour and a half passed as the little boat arrived at Metal Harbor. "Enjoy the show kid." said the man as he pushed off leaving Rock and the dock. "I better becareful." muttered Rock as Zappy looked at him worried. Rock made his way towards the nearest building and spotted a large rusty 13 on it's side. "Gulp.." swollowed Rock, "This must be the place." Rock enter a nearby door and looked around. Suddenly a voice shouted "For the Fifteenth Time! Tell The Boss I Don't Need You Here!" Rock reconized the voice and slowly made his way behind some crates. He turned to spy a pair of hedgehogs arguing. It was the two from the train that Rock saw before he fought Lance. "Look!" said the black green hedgehog, "Boss said keep an eye on you, Thorn." "Dream on, Ash!" snapped Thorn, "You're just here to avoid working! Now, How long, before my opponent gets here, will it take you to leave?!"
