Ambush!

It was a beautiful day. The most beautiful of days some would argue. No one could possibly imagine anything could go wrong on such a day as this. The sun was out early, birds could be heard chirping in the trees. The sky was blue not a cloud in sight.

So our hero decides to invite his best friend on a fishing trip. They load up the rods, the bait, the chest full of lures and hooks and of course the beers. Some would say this was their first mistake, but our duo sets off on the highway for a few hours and eventually turn off on some smaller roads. To finally get off the paved streets and onto a dirt trail for maybe another 2 hours.

All goes well at arrival and the pair is off on the water in no time. After a short time and a few beers, re-tellers of the story argue on the number, the wind picks up and before they have time to react it's already raining lightly and the waves pick up.

Fear sets in the boat and after lightning bursts and a huge wave hits the side of their boat our heroe's best friend falls into the water without him noticing.

The now swimming friend calls out our heroe's name! Not sure if he heard something, our hero turns around and sees an empty boat, and realises he did here something. "What did you say?" He exclaims

Now the skies were pure dark, thunder bellowed every 5 seconds and flashes appeared left and right. And our victim yells his friends name out once again. Calling out for help essentially

But through all the noise it was hard to make out, "what did you say?" Replies our antagonist. Now getting angered, and almost drowning he yells out his friend name what seems to be one last time.

In the distance another boat is seen. And looks to be diverting course towards our troubled duo. Our hero distracted by this, and also hopes they come to help, suddenly gets back on track and could make out the general direction his friend was in cause of what he was yelling. And so he asked again "what did you say?"

No sound from the water... the second boat is maybe 500 meters away when they hoist a flag. It has a skull and two crossed bones on it. Our hero panics and suddenly sees his friend surface from the water. And his catches a big breath of air and yells out our heroe's name.

Clearly he can now see Pete his best friend in the water. Finger tips barely touching if they would be trying to grab each other. But our hero now look angry puts his hands on the side of the boat. Leans over close to his friend and says "What did you say?"
