I was surprised that they were being so hospitable, but I guess it made sense. If they didn't have anything to hide, they wouldn't have anything to worry about.
"Thank you, Steve. I appreciate your hospitality," I said before the girls and followed them to the surface.
The island was a lot bigger than I thought it would be. It was easily twice the size of the island I had been on and was lush with vegetation. It looked like a paradise; I could see why they called it Fishbar.
There were huts scattered around the facing beach of the island, and I could see people coming out of them to greet us. They all looked friendly, and I didn't sense any hostility from them. The rest of the island was cliffs, which looked to be one of the only accessible places on this side.
"Welcome to our home!" Steve said as he tried to lead us out of the water, but I had to wave him forward.
