                                                                                           to Matt.
                                                                                             'That's right, kid. Eat! You need to feel good for the dive.'
                      The next day, J essica got up late and went downstairs to              'Am I going to dive for drugs?'
                      have breakfast. She saw her friends Greg and Tom at one of             'That's right. There are sorne packages down there -
                      the tables, and she sat down next to them.                           twenty  of  them.  In these packages there are sorne  very

                       'Hi. Where is everybody?'                                           good drugs and they're going to malee us very rich. Oh, yes!
                       'You're late, Jess,' said Greg. 'Everybody's in their rooms          They're going to make me and my friends a lot of money.'
                      now, and they're all studying.'                                       Sharon thought of all the money and smiled.
                        'Well, not all of them. Sorne are playing tennis,' laughed
                      Tom. 'See you later!'
                        'What about Amy and Matt?' asked Jessica.
                        'Perhaps they went to visit Matt's Dad in Jacksonville,'
                      said Greg. 'Matt wanted to see him.'
                        'Or  perhaps  they're  somewhere  in  the  Bahamas,
                      swimming and sunbathing,' said Jessica, and she smiled:
                        'Wonderful! I would like to be there now,' said Greg'.
                        'Well, let's go - after the exams!' said Jessica.

                        'How far is it to the Bahamas, Matt? How many hours?'
                      she-asked.
                        'I don't know. Not far.'
                        Half  an hour later, Troy carne with sorne  water  but he
                      did not bring any food. He didn't speak to them, and they               'Why are they under the ocean?' asked Matt.
                      were afraid to ask questions.                                           'They were on a boat from the south. The police carne
