A month had passed since the shark incident that killed two teenagers in Amity Island, and also killed other people too. Because there were no liable witnesses for the other victims, they were declared missing. But the two teen victims were islanders, and many people witnessed the horrible incidents.

Sean Brody still couldn't forget how Marge was devoured by the shark after she put him to safety. It was an image he couldn't erase from his mind. He could still remember how Marge was scratching her fingernails into the sailboat, and holding on her dear life. Somehow, Sean always thought this was his fault. If he didn't fall down to the water, she would still be alive.

Sean woke up in a jolt.

It had been a month since the incident, and yet he always having nightmares about it. If his dad wasn't there to saved him… The eight year old boy wiped his tears and sat on his bed. He looked at the alarm clock, which showed it was already 2 AM. He could hear the sound of the ocean from his window. It used to calmed him and put him to sleep. But now, he felt that the ocean was the cruelest place in earth.

He cried, but not loudly. He didn't want to wake up the whole family, but his chest was tightened and he felt a good cry might help.

Somehow his cry was heard by his father, who opened his door slowly. He peeked through the door and watched as his son tried to wipe the tears away. "Sean…"

"I'm okay, dad." He put his head on the pillow, and rolled over with his back towards his dad. Martin sighed and watched as his son tried to hide his tears. He gently sat on his bed, and hugged his son.

"Come 'ere. I wanna be with you, if that's okay." He said while lying down next to him.

"It's okay." He answered with his little voice. He felt safe in his arms, so he closed his eyes and dozed off to sleep. Martin kissed Sean's head and tucked him, while still lying next to him. Not long, Sean was asleep. But Martin was wide awake and stared at the ceiling.

How many times he had to do this? This wasn't something he wanted. How many times he had to fight for his life because there was a monster from the deep wanted to hurt his family? This wouldn't go away so easily. Martin prayed that this would be the last time he had to fight for his dignity, his pride, his safety and his family's safety, the town, and that damn city council.
