She looked back to find that he was staring at something.
It was also sleek, black, with white trim. It looked a lot like a shark with razor-sharp teeth. Noticing her frightened expression, Carlos explained, “That’s a killer whale. He’s pretty harmless. He’s hunting the shark.”
The killer whale started its attack as he was talking. The whale raced through the water, slamming its head into the shark, again and again
Finally, the shark rolled, drifting helplessly, unconscious. Then the feast began.
Carlos and Debbie stood in the under-chest-high water and watched. The brutal sight shocked Debbie.

Eyes fixed on the ongoing feast, Carlos explained, “If they’re knocked over, they faint. Then they’re easy prey. Killer whales know this
Everyone thinks the shark is a powerful killer. It is, but the orca is even more powerful.”
His remarks surprised Debbie.
“I remember now. There was one at the aquarium when I took Piggy there. I thought he was adorable. I didn’t expect it to be so fierce.”
“They look cute, but they are dangerous. Just not so much to us.

Debbie was scared. With a pasty face, she started dragging Carlos towards the shore.
“Okay, let’s get out of here before it decides it’s feeling playful!”

Debbie calmed down. But what she saw next alarmed her again. Carlos was waving at the fed killer whale! Her mouth went instantly dry from fear.
After a hard swallow, she asked him, “Level with me. Did you hire the two men on the boat? Are you with James? Are you here to kill me?”
Carlos only gave her a long look. When the killer whale swam towards them, Debbie was so frightened she clutched Carlos tightly.
“Run! Run!” she screamed, scrunching her eyes closed, too spooked to open them.
She heard water thrashing behind her, but soon it was quiet.
“Open your eyes,” Carlos coaxed her.
When everything was quiet, Debbie’s fear fled. She opened her eyes slowly. Her jaw dropped when she caught sight of what was right in front of her.
Carlos was stroking the killer whale’s head!
