POLICE

"You wanted to see me Sarge?" "Owens, we need you to go undercover." "What for?" "There have been a series of luxury cruises robberies committed by a group of surfers who call themselves The Monkeys." "The Monkeys?" Owens quizzically replied. "They wear monkey masks during their crime sprees. I need you to infiltrate the gang and bring them to justice." "But I can't surf." "Well, you're just gonna have to learn and fast. These guys are very dangerous." "Where am I going?" "Huntington Beach. Good luck Owens!"

"So this is Huntington Beach. Sweet! Soon I'll be riding some monster waves on my board. I got a cool hat, shades, board shorts, and a totally rad soul patch. I think I'm going to fit in quite nicely during this undercover assignment." "Are you a police officer?" "Beat it kid. You're going to blow my cover." "Lame." "Nosy kid. Anyways, it's time for Moondog to hit the waves!" Officer Owens shouted as he raced into the water.

After wiping out in spectacular fashion and embarrassing himself in the process, Owens decided to head back to shore. "Tough time out there brah?" said a stranger who had been watching from the shoreline. "Yeah I'm a little rusty. Haven't surfed in a few years." "My bros and I are having a bonfire on the beach tonight. Feel free to stop by and meet some of my surfer buddies. Maybe we could teach you a few tips." "Sounds good. I'll see you there" Owens replied. "What's your name by the way?" "Just call me Moondog." "Cool. See you soon Moondog!"

"Glad you could make it dude." "Thanks for inviting me Brody." "These are my friends, Chip and Pepper." "'sup?" Owens said nodding to Brody's pals. "We're heading out for an early morning surf tomorrow. You're more than welcome to join us" Chip offered. "Tubular!" "Uh, yeah. You don't really need to use surf lingo. We know that you're legit." Pepper added. "We've got some 'business' to take care of tonight but we'll see you bright and early." "Alright guys. Can't wait to hang ten! Goodnight dudes!" "Ugh! Why did you invite him Brody. He's a cop!" Chip flipped. "Patience bro. I know what I'm doing. Alright, let's mask up and head out."

The trio known as"The Monkeys" boarded a motorboat in order to intercept an incoming cruise ship. They shut down the motor a few meters away from the ship before quietly climbing aboard. The gang walked away with thousands of dollars in cash as well as some expensive jewelry. "Excellent work boys! Maybe our best heist ever" Brody crowed. "What are we gonna do about that cop? You know 'Moondog' or whatever his name is." "You leave him to me" Brody responded. "I have plans for the gremmie."

"Why are we going out so far Brody? I'm just a beginner, a gremmie I think it's called. " "Chill out. You're safe out here with me." "So how was your night?" Owens inquired. "Very successful. Business is booming right now." "Awesome! What is that you guys do again?" "We rob cruise ships Officer Owens." "How did you know I was a cop?" "No surfer talks the way you do. That and you forgot to take off your badge." "Oops!" "I was going to leave you here to be eaten by sharks but I want you to hear my proposal." "Thanks. I'm flattered but I have a girlfriend.' "A business proposition you fool!"

"I was born poor. I never had enough to eat, fancy clothes, or anything else that comes with living a life of a life of luxury. Think of me as a modern day Robin Hood. I steal from the rich and give to the poor. In this case, my gang and I are the ones who reap the benefits. You have two options. You can try to arrest me but you'll end up as shark bait. Or you can join us. Haven't you ever wanted to walk on the wild side? There are so many rules you have to follow in your life and career. The Monkeys are my best friends and my family. And we're really good at what we do. What's it gong to be Owens?" "Sh-sh-" "Sure?" "No. Shark!"

CHOMP!

"Bro, you like totally saved my life!" "Just helping out a citizen in need. It's my job after all." "Listen Owens" Brody began, "I know you're a cop. I was actually going to do something bad out here to you. But I owe you one." "I'm not a cop. I'm a rad surfer dude." "You're a terrible surfer and a bad dresser with a fake soul patch." "What's your point?" "I'll make you a deal. If you don't rat me out, I'll do the same for you. I know that a part of you believes in what The Monkeys and I are doing. We could always use a fourth monkey."
