They walked around these large mines, as they peered and looked 100 metres
down to the bottom of these holes. Suddenly, they heard footsteps approaching
them, startled they, jumped up and looked back, seeing a man who looked to be
in his late fifties with a perfectly shaped emerald stone hanging from a silver
chain around his neck. His dry scaly skin gathered in wrinkles around his small
brown eyes, piercing into the chef's own.
"Is that you, Jason?," The he asked.
Apanie and Ed jerked their heads at Jason in a mixture of shock and confusion.
The mood changed and an awkward tension filled the atmosphere.
"Dad?," Jason replied confused, wondering whether or not this was his dad. He
looked older then when they had last met. His once smooth skin had turned
rough and scaly and wrinkles showed everywhere.
"While you were away and trying to reach your lame cooking career, I was able
to become one of the top CEO's in the mining industry.” he gave a smug grin.
Apanie and Ed looked at each other in confusion.
"Jason, you said the mining industry was bad, and now your dad is the CEO of
this very mining company that is ruining our water," Apanie exclaimed, rage
filling up inside her. She was mad. One of her closest friends that she had, had
betrayed and lied to her. She realized this whole journey was a lie, there
probably wasn't a lagoon somewhere in this dry desert.
"Why would you do this to us, Jason, why would you lie to us? You insisted for
us to follow you on this journey to absolutely nothing, instead leading us to your
evil father's company, polluting the water that everyone needs." Apanie shouted.
