Sorry about the wait, some things had happened over the past few weeks. Some good some bad. Hope you guys like it. Please review! R&R
"Has he come back yet?" I asked Amanda
"No, not yet," she answered,not looking up from her work.
He had been gone for almost an entire day. I was beginning to worry. Jim had said something about leaving. But I thought he just meant, he was leaving for a little while to think things over. Not to leave forever.
"What if something happened to him?" I asked worried "He doesn't know the area very well."
"If something does happen to him, then we will know about it." she said, still not looking up " Remember we are his emergency contact.
"I guess so," I said "But don't you care?"
At this, she looked up. "Of course I care!" she exclaimed "Why would you say something like that?"
"It's just we aren't doing anything," I said
"I told you, if we were to go looking for him, it would take hours and we have no idea where to start." she said.
"I guess your right," I said, my mind drifting off to the argument we had before.

The next day when I woke up, for a minute, I forgot about everything. When reality hit, I felt the weight of the world, fall back on my shoulders. I had to find Jim.
When I reached the main living room, I slipped.
"What?" I thought.
I looked up to see the living room in a reck. Pillows were spread out, chairs were over turned, and papers were strewn everywhere. I couldn't let Amanda see this, for I was sure this had something to with Jim.
As I began to pick up, I noticed a small oddly shaped pillow that was still on the couch.
"Amanda?" I called.
"What is it?" she asked sleepily
"Did we get a new pillow?" I asked
"No, why?" she answered
"Well, it's just..." I began to ask, when I saw that the pillow began to shake. "What?"
The pillow morphed back into the pink blob it was.
"Morph!" I exclaimed, the little pink blob chirped with excitement and panic. "Wait, wait! Morph be quiet!"
"Danny, what's going on?" asked Amanda
"Nothing!" I said, trying to stifle the pink blob.
"What about the pillow?" she asked
"Oh I just miss counted," I said, still trying to hold the blob.
"Ok," she said
I waited a few minutes, until releasing the blob.
"Ok, Morph what is it?" I asked the concerned pink blob.
He began to shape shift into various images. First jim then multiple people, a ship, and a dryer sheet.
"Wait, Morph slow down!" I exclaimed
He stopped, looking down at me with confusion.
"Now, what happened here?" I asked "And speak slowly."
Morph nodded his head. He first morphed into a miniature version of Jim.
"Jim," I said
The mini Jim nodded his head. Next he changed into Silver.
"Silver is back?" I asked a little confused and concerned.
He shook his head, he then changed into a man with a beard and pirate hat.
"Umm, man, sailor? Pirate?" I asked still confused.
When I said pirate the little man nodded, excitedly. Then he changed into a scene, that had two men struggling to keep a hold of another man.
"Struggle? No. Oh! capture!" I exclaimed
I was beginning to understand what happened. Jim was captured by pirates. But why?
The last image was the dryer sheet, the same one the detective showed me.
"Dryer sheet?" I guessed
Morph then changed into a old fashion pirate map, then back into the dryer sheet.
"Map dryer sheet, map dryer sheet," I repeated again and again, until it hit me. "The dryer sheet is a map. That's why they took Jim, because they knew he had it."
Morph changed back into himself and floated over to me.
"I have to go get it," I said, as I grabbed my keys, ignoring the chirps of Morph.
The entire ride out to Tillamook, I was on edge. Time and distance seemed to stretch on forever. When I arrived, I practically ran out of the car.
"Please, I need to see the dryer sheet that was recovered from the boy found at the beach a few weeks ago," I asked the man at the desk.
"I'm sorry but I'm not authorized to hand out evidence," he said
"Please, I just want to look at it," I told him.
"It would be tampering with evidence." he said
"Have you found anything odd about it?" I asked
"No, but we are still looking into it," he said
"Please just for one minute, you could even watch me,"I suggested
"Alright, but you mustn't tell anyone else, I could lose my job," he said sternly.
"Of course sir," I said
When he left, I pulled Morph out of my pocket.
"Now when he comes back, I want you to make a distraction, anything goes,"
"Here it is, odd that someone would have that in his pocket," he commented, handing me the evidence bag.
"Yes very odd," I agreed, pulling the dryer sheet out.
Just then, a very loud crash could be heard coming from the other room.
"What the hell?" questioned the cop, forgetting that he was suppose to watch me.
With him gone, I held the dryer sheet up to the light. THe map had to be printed on it. Morph floated back, chirping happily.
"Good job, Morph." I said, turning my attention back to the map.
Yet, no matter how much I turned the sheet, or held it to the light, I couldn't see anything.
"There's got to be a trick to this," I said frustrated
Morph eyeing the sheet, began to chirp excitedly.
"What is it?" I asked, desperate for advice.
He then took a piece of paper, off the desk and laid it on the floor. He began to nudge me closer to the paper. Again, I couldn't understand why, until I dropped the sheet. It floated down, landing on the paper.
A brilliant golden light shot out of the paper. It formed into a sphere. The writing on the paper, floated up, attaching itself to the sphere. Forming the seven continents. What writing was left, formed a trail. Leading from Oregon out to the Caribbean.
"It really is a map," I said in awe. I picked up the paper to examine it.
The globe was small yet detailed. Right down to the last twist and turn. If you hit a certain spot, it would magnify.
"Amazing!" was all I could say.
"Now..." I gasped, hearing the cop coming back.
I pulled the map from the piece of paper and stuffed in my pocket. Pulling out a regular old dryer sheet from my other pocket.
"Alright, miss you've had enough time with that," he said
"Oh, of course,"I said handing over the dryer sheet.
"Thank you," he said putting it back into the evidence bag
"No thank you, I've learned all I need to," I said, I felt Morph float back into my pocket.
I left the police station, a small plan formulating in my mind.
Yea! It's done. This one took me awhile. Thanks so much for your views. R&R Hey, I also have a poll that desperately needs voters. Can't continue with the story till I get voters!
