Chapter 2
"I don't know, I don't know!" Diana screamed at Kit and Kit's assistant.
"you must think" Kit whined.
"start from beginning" Kit's assistant spoke. After Diana took in a deep breath of frustration she began again.
"I was looking for Sala, and I found her. Then I got hit or something. When I woke up I was here! I don't know where Sala is- or what really happened" Diana stormed outside through the no-door walkway.
"Well, the girls are out looing for her now, you have a big bump on your head- get some rest" kit told her as she nodded and went back into the house and to her room.
"If someone else is on the island theres going to be trouble" Kit spoke aloud.
"On the other hand, let us hope it is someone else, someone not on the island already" Kit's assistant spoke while walking off.
Sala sat on a chair, tied and in some pain.
"Good evening Sala" a man behind her spoke. She tried to turn around to see him, speak to him face to face. But the ropes were tied too tight and it was dark in the room anyway.
"I said good evening Sala" his tone in voice had changed drastically. She didn't answer again as she felt his hands go around her neck. At first she was scared, and up tight, but he began to message her neck.
"get off me" she pushed him away, liking the massage, but not fully trusting him. He angerly walked around to the front of her, placed his hands on the arms of the chair and leaned in toward her.
"You remember me don't you Sala? I mean all the nights we spent together…" he came closer to her putting his mouth close to her ear.
"all the jobs we did with each other. Why are you acting like this to me?" he whispered. She bent her head down, and turned away from him.
"well, I'm not one to dwell on the past" he broke away from her, and sat at a chair that was across from her.
"I have a proposition for you" he grinned as she looked back up at him.
"Just listen to me for a minute." He pleaded, and she nodded.
"Good. See there is a map. A map that your Phantom friend has. It's a map to a statue. Not just any statue, mind you, a statue where my great great grandfather hid six one pound rubies. But, while going home, after making the map, the Phantom's great great grandfather robbed him. He took the map and didn't even know it, and never knew. He let my great great grandfather alaive, and he went home to his wife. He told her of what had happened, and where he hid the map. He had one more voyage, but boat, when they came upn the boat where the Phantom's great great grandfather was. And with his crew, my great great grandfather wanted his map, and killed the Phantom of that time. But, the map wasn't on the ship, and he was killed by another crew member. The secreate was dead except his wife knew. She told my great grandfather, and he told my grand father, till the long held 'tale' now, reached me. It's my dutey to get those jewels with the help of you and another friend of mine. You would get two rubies, my friend would get two, and I get two rubies along with the return of my families pride." He finished all fired up and looking at her with excitement.
"Where did he hide the map?" she asked.
"Does that mean your in?" he asked, and she paused only for a second.
"Yeah" she grinned- as he smiled back as he started to untie her. She remained in the chair, as he sat back down in his seat, pulling it closer to where their knees lightly touched.
"My father hid the map in his jacket. He ripped a hole in it, fearing something like the robbery would happen. He sewed it back up, and put the jacket back on. But while on the road, it got hot, and not thinking, he put the jacket into his knapsack. I don't how he got the rubies, and I don't know if the tale is totally true. But if we find the jacket, and there's a map in it, then I know the tale is true." He took her hand in his.
"Are you with me?" he gazed up in her eyes, his chair a bit shorter then hers.
"For old time's sake" he smiled. She looked into his eyes, he seemed different, different then before in a better way.
"Well?" he asked again leaning in closer. She started to lean in a little, she felt pulled to him as her breath got short.
"…yeah, yeah" she backed away, and got up.
"what do you want me to do first?" She asked as he called her to his office.
