A belated Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukkah, or Good Kwanza to everyone! This is the tenth chapter with a little language in it, but no one will die. Enjoy like usual!

In the previous chapter:

"Our leader is dead!" said Bobbery. "I'll get a way to escape Rogueport!" He started running to the dock area. The others followed him reluctantly.

"My boat," he finally said as he approached it. "We'll sail away. I've never thought of that."

"But we have crimes to solve!" said Koops. "We need to look for this last piece of note."

"Will you forget about the fucking note and concentrate on escaping?" Bobbery said calmly. He boarded the ship

Chapter 10

"You guys come along!" he called to them. "You'll die on Rogueport!"

"You're just trying to get away!" cried Koops. "I'm beginning to think you're the murderer!"

"I can't stay here," said Peach, and without hesitation, she got onto the ship. "Koops, DK, come along!"

"If we all go then the killer will still be with us, you idiot!" said DK. "One of us will stay."

"No!" yelled Koops in fright. "I don't want to be left behind!"

"Too bad," said DK, and he boarded the ship. "I'll steer the ship, Peach will check the masts, and Bobbery…navigator."

"Don't leave without me!" shrieked Koops. "I'll be killed here!"

"Koops, I'm sorry," said Admiral Bobbery, and he turned on the wheel engine. "We all suspect you're the killer, so we're leaving you."

"No we don't!" exclaimed Peach. "I do not think he's the killer!"

"Then why the hell are we leaving him behind?" said DK in frustration.

"No!" yelled Koops once more. "Please no!"

"What?" called back Bobbery.

"I found it!" he called back. He was waving something in the air.

"What!" Bobbery hollered from the ship.

"Come back!" Koops yelled. He looked frightened.

"What is it?" hollered Bobbery.

"The hits in fire!" was what he heard.

"Huh?" said DK.

"The ship!" yelled Koops. "On fire! Below!"

The three people on the ship looked down and saw that the bottom of the ship was on fire, as Koops said.

"Sweet apple cider!" yelled Bobbery. "Abandon ship!" They all jumped from the back of the ship. After a few seconds it exploded. They were all submerged underwater, but managed to get to the surface, unharmed.

"Is everyone okay?" said Bobbery, looking around. Debris from the ship was floating on the water, and fire was around them.

"If you define okay as scared to fucking death from an explosion, then I'm okay!" yelled DK, coughing.

"We have no choice but to swim back," said Peach in hopelessness. "Watch out for the fire!"After the fire went out,they swam back. They were all exhausted when they reached the dock of Rogueport.

"I'm happy you forced me to stay here," said Koops gratefully. "You see, if-"

But DK grabbed him from the neck and didn't let go. "You cheater, you…killer! You put that bomb in the ship and tried to kill us!" DK said in rage.

"I didn't…" choked Koops.

"Stop choking him!" cried Peach, and she pulled DK's hands of him. Koops gasped in relief.

"I found the last piece of paper, taped on the ship," he gasped. He gave it to Peach.

"What does it say?" said Bobbery. He grabbed the piece of paper from Peach and unfolded it.
