Bang!
At the echo of a gunshot, Tigris' arm was shot, and the silver box fell into the sea.
He wailed in agony, and before he came to his senses, a group of bodyguards had dived into the sea for the chip.
Tigris froze for a split second before an evil grin grew on his lips. "Zain, you want the chip, don't you? Enjoy your search for the needle in a haystack."
"This is ridiculous." Benard's face was red from rage. "Tigris, you'd rather throw the chip into the sea than to give it to me. I'm going to kill you!"
"Send divers to get the chip."
"Yes, Sir!"

The family of five widened their eyes as they crowded around Dori and stared at it.
"Mrs. Borah, do you mean Dori laid an egg?" Josh kept blinking and staring at Dori's bottom. "How can it lay eggs? It's a parrot, not a chicken."
"Not only chickens lay eggs." Randy was searching on the computer with his glasses on. "All birds lay eggs."
"But don't you need a male and a female to lay eggs? We only have one parrot at home." Josh was astounded by the News. "She's a single parrot. How can she lay eggs?"
"Did Dori get a boyfriend without telling us?" Venus held up Dori's head and interrogated it, "Dori, confess. Did you get a boyfriend without telling us?"
"Boyfriend! Boyfriend!" Dori repeated.
"Now I remember. The neighbor on the opposite block has a parrot too. Dori always flies over to play with it, " Mrs. Borah remarked.
"Mrs. Borah, when did you realize Dori laid her egg?" Carla asked.
"This was what happened, " Mrs. Borah started. "I cleaned Dori's cage this afternoon. When I saw that egg, I was stunned. I learned from a television program that if I don't keep the egg, it'll eat it. So, I took the egg out, cleaned it, and kept it. After that, I thought of giving you all a surprise, so I kept the egg in a pretty box and tied it with a pink ribbon. I never thought the bad guy would steal it, thinking it's some chip."
"That box used to store the chip, " Josh exclaimed as he raised his arms. "I placed it on the table in my room previously. When I saw it in the cage, I thought the chip was in it too."
"What a turn of events, " Carla mumbled as she patted her chest. "If not for the man thinking the box has the chip, he wouldn't have left so quickly. I'm afraid he'll do something to you all."
"In that case, we should thank Mrs. Borah and Dori."
Venus lovingly caressed Dori's head.
"Mrs. Borah, did Dori poop the chip out?" Carla asked the most important question of the day.
"No." Mrs. Borah frowned as she shook her head. "I've been watching it, and it hasn't pooped out the chip yet."
"That's bad News then." Carla's expression turned grave.
"What's so bad, Mommy?" Venus asked curiously, cocking her head to the side.
"Don't you get it?"
Randy's expression turned similar to his mother's as he waggled his finger.
"That bad guy thought the box had the chip, and the people from Divine Corporation thought he stole the chip, so they went after him. However, they'll soon realize the chip isn't in the box later, so…"
"So they'll come after us again?" Josh and Venus yelled in unison.
In the next second, Venus rushed into Carla's arms and buried her face in her mother's shirt, shivering from fear.
