Four keys remaining

"Think any of the other keys could be in camo?" Zeb asked. "Don't think so" said Sabine, "so far he hasn't hid the key in the same area, but we still shouldn't rule anything out just yet."

"Well" Kanan started, "we've already checked the phantom and the air vent; any other place's come to mind?"

Hera thought for a moment, "I still think there could be some kind of hidden compartment somewhere."

"Well" said Kanan, "if he did put a secret compartment somewhere, it would most likely be something that belongs to him, something small that he brings around a lot, so you wouldn't suspect it."

"oh ya" said Zeb, "like what? If he made a secret compartment, he would hide it somewhere big, in plain sight, like he did with the last one."

"I have to agree with Zeb on this one" said Hera

"Well I'm with Kanan" said Sabine, standing up.

"ok then" said Kanan, "Zeb and Hera you two go and check large the areas of the ship, see if you can find anything where the key could be in, me and Sabine can go look in the smaller places of the ship, who knows, maybe there really is a compartment."

Everyone agreed with the plain, then quickly split up. Too bad Ezra heard the whole thing.

"Ok" said Hera, "so if there is a compartment is hidden somewhere, it should be in plain sight," "Let Kanan and Sabine waste their time looking in all the small areas." Zeb said interrupting. "Right" Hera said rolling her eyes, "Any way, where should we start?" Zeb suddenly got a horrible grin on his face, "Well" said Zeb," I'd be to big to fit," Hera already didn't like this plain. "But" Zeb continued, "what about the trash shoot?"

"Ok" said Kanan, "the only thing I can think of that Ezra has on him full time is clothes." Sabine glared at him for a second before saying, "so you think Ezra's been hiding one of his keys in his pocket the whole time? Great thinking there inspector. " She said sarcastically. "Well it's the only thing I can think of besides his light savor!" Kanan said turning around, but was immediately stopped by Sabine. "Wait!" she almost yelled, "a few weeks ago Ezra asked me for a few spare parts for his light savor, they were a little out of the ordinary, but I figured I don't know anything about light savors!" Kanan looked as if she was on to something, he just didn't know what yet. "So, what are you saying? "He asked. "I'm saying that maybe, just maybe, he hid a key in his light savor after making it a compartment! It does have a blaster in his savor!." "Worth a shot" he said. "Wait" Kanan said stopping "if he had just got this compartment a few weeks ago, where do you think the old place was?

"I don't see anything!" Hera yelled up as she dangled down in the shoot. "Keep looking" Zeb shouted down, "it has to be here somewhere, you want to find the box or not? We got less than 10 hours!" He finished, lowering her down a bit more, "ok, ok" she said, "I'm looking!" Zeb started to lower her down a bit more when chopper came up behind him, zapping Zeb in the back."karabass!" he yelled as he winched, causing his to drop the rope, along with Hera.

Kanan and Sabine practically ran down the hall and into Zeb and Ezra's room, diving for the drawer and pulling out his light savor. Kanan fiddled around with it for a second, he pulled out a tiny compartment out of the savor, both Kanan's and Sabine's eyes sparked with excitement as they looked in, only to see that it was completely and utterly empty.

"W-where is it?!" Sabine finally said breaking the relentless silence. "c'mon" said Kanan, standing up, frustrated. "Hole on a sec" said Sabine, stopping Kanan. "Look at this" she said pointing to the small compartment. There was some tape stuck inside of it, almost like there has been something taped there, but someone moved it. "You don't think-" Kanan started, but he couldn't finish, they both knew the answer. "quick" said Sabine we should find the others."

They began walking down the hall when they were met with a horrible scent. "Uh, what is that!" Sabine said plugging her noise. Just then they saw Zeb and Hera walking down the hall as well. Hera was covered in old food, scraps of paper, old bandages and stale bread. Both their eye widened, and not just because of the smell. "What happen-" they started before she raised her hand, "why don't you ask him?!" she said pointing to Zeb, "Aw, com on Hera, I said I was sorry!" Zeb pleaded. "I'm guessing you didn't find the key?" asked Kanan. "Nope, did you?" Sabine didn't know how to answer, "well that's the thing," she started, "I think we should have, I think it should have been there, but.. It wasn't" they all looked at her. "Are you saying what I think your saying?" Asked Hera. Sabine gave the slightest, tiniest node. But before they do anything Zeb was already charging down the hall, "I'M GOING TO KILL THAT KID!" he shouted

"Zeb!" they all shouted as they chased him down the hall, but by the time they got to the main room Zeb was already holding Ezra by the shirt collar, dangling him at least a foot in the air. "I didn't go through all that just to have you cheat!" Zeb yelled. "Zeb, put him down, we don't even know if he did take the key!" Sabine said. Ezra wanted to remind him of the fact that there were no rule's, but he really didn't think he should be ticking him off even more when he was in this position. "Ezra" Hera said trying to sound calm, but you could tell that she was just as mad as Zeb. "Please tell me I'm not wearing garbage for nothing. "Uh, well.." Ezra started, sounding guilty. "Gah!" Zeb yelled as he threw Ezra to ground, hard. As he landed the key fell out of his pocket, and on the middle of the floor, followed by blood.

Hey guy's, know that wasn't the best chapter, but it all works out, trust me! Please review!
