I went back into the house and saw the rest of the guy's come down, they all hugged me "Where were you?" Mosca asked "The Stella" I replied "Of all the place's we never thought to look, The Stella" Riccio said, I chuckled "But you're both back that's what's important" Hornet said, she turned to Prop and hugged him, really long "He went to the merry go round, and it works" Bo said "it really worked? No way"
Hornet said in disbelief while pulling away from Prop, I heard the door open and I turned to see Aunt Esther and Uncle Max "So this is the little gang of criminals" Esther said glancing at the other's, Riccio pulled Bo back "The sooner we put you behind bars the better" she said, both her and Max coming forward "Oh and there they are the little runaways" Esther said sweetly while glancing at both me and Bo
"Their staying with me" Prop said firmly "As you keep telling us" Max said "Get out of the way" Esther said, Max tried to move Prop but he refused and Riccio stepped forward to help him "Give me my son and daughter" she demanded, she tried to get me and Bo but Prop and Riccio pushed her back "Their not your kids you scanky old bat" Riccio said, awesome
"How dare you speak to my wife like that, you little monster" Max said, he slapped Riccio in the face and it started a brawl "Enough!" Uncle Max shouted with the gun, everyone froze "Now hand over your brother and sister, and we'll forget this ever happened" Max said, he was shaking "It doesn't work snot nose" Bo said "Oh really? Would you like to find out?" he asked, he aimed the gun at the roof and pulled, it didn't work, he put the gun down and it fired,
I jumped and noticed it nearly hit Prop, I ran over to him and he looked scared stiff "Now looked what you've done you stupid child" Esther said from beside Uncle Max "Leave him alone" Prop said "He's 6 years old and he's got more sense than the 2 of you put together" Hornet shouted "It was an accident, he said it didn't work" Max said nervously "I suggest you put the gun down"
Skip said coming from around the corner, he took it off them "Leave. leave here, leave Venice and leave them alone" he said motioning to us "You're not fit to look after a tortoise let alone a child now get out" he said angrily, Esther and Max shakily made their way to the door before leaving, the others turned to Skip "Wow you certainly told them"
Riccio said a bit shocked "See that's what I mean about being a grown up" Skip said "How am I supposed to sleep with all this noise"
Barbarossa said from the doorway "Does anybody have an aspirin?" he asked, I laughed, we all thought up an idea that we could give Barbarossa to my aunt and uncle, keep them off our back's for good, Ida and Victor helped, while they took care of that, me Riccio and Mosca decided to go back to Barbarossa's shop for some revenge.
We were in his shop and we eventually found the money stash "Oh my god" I said "Man it's even more than the fake stuff" Riccio said, Mosca handed him a bunch of money and asked him to count out 50
"What do I look like? Einstein?" Riccio asked walking off, Mosca placed the fake money in the safe while Riccio counted "Maybe a little bonus" he said adding more money
"The deal's 50 grand" Moska reminded Riccio "50 grand, interest" Riccio replied "Tax, expense's" he said shoving it all in and closing the case, we started laughing.
The next day we went to meet Skip "Has everybody got their share now?" he asked "Everybody except you" Mosca said, I nodded "I'll use some to buy you this boat, and then I'll put the rest in bank accounts for each of you" Skip said "Bank accounts? What's next my midlife crisis?" Riccio asked, I chuckled, the boy's eventually found the boat they wanted and Skip talked to the man "It look's about as sea worthy as a rubber duck" I heard Skip say,
I chuckled and jumped onto the boat with the boy's "Now don't go tearing around the canals at night in this thing" Skip said "Now what would give us that idea?"
I asked innocently "I expect you to behave" he said, I smiled "That's a laugh coming from you Thief Lord" I replied.
We were driving on the boat and saw the other's on a row boat "Just testing out the new boat!" Riccio shouted "Hey boss I'll see you tomorrow in the office!" Skip shouted to Victor, he nodded and we went faster, I sat down and put my hand in the water, I saw my necklace start glowing and the turtle started to move, I smiled and enjoyed the ride.
