A Troubled Cabin Boy

Jim was tiptoeing down the hall towards the captain stateroom with Morph flying next to him. Nobody was around because they were all doing their work but Jim still had to be quiet incase anyone came out of the doors that Jim kept walking pass. Jim was gonna do something that could get him in big trouble and even thrown off the ship but Jim had to do this since nobody believed him about Lance and the entire crew being pirates.

Jim stopped when he reached the Captains stateroom and he just stared at the door as if he could open it with his mind. Jim looked up at Morph who was flying beside his head "go under the door and see if anyone's inside" Jim whispered to his little shape shifter.

Morph gave him a little salute before disappear under the metal door. Jim looked at the door worried, hoping nobody was inside to see Morph come out from under the door.

Jim waited.

And waited.

and waited some more.

Where is he?

Jim was beginning to get worried that maybe the captain was in there and she locked Morph up but then Morph came out from under the door with a small cookie in his small little hands and he had crumbs over his mouth. Jim blinked at Morph in confusion then sighed "I'm guessing no one was in there since you got that" Jim said as he pointed to the cookie Morph eating.

Morph let out a small burp after he finished the cookie he was eating. Jim couldn't help but smile at that but then Jim put a serious look on his face again "let's go" Jim said quietly before walking pass Morph to the big metal door. Jim pushed it open then stepped inside and looked around. Jim walked over to the closet then tried to open it but it wouldn't open. Jim sighed, realizing he needed a key to get it open.

Morph flew to the key hole then smiled at it and chirped happily because he could see his reflection in it. Jim began looking through all the drawers at the captain desk but then he looks up to see Morph admiring himself in the key hole "Morph would you stop playing around" Jim said angrily but very quietly so no one would hear him. Jim opened a drawer to see a golden key inside. Jim picked it up then smiled at it.

He walked quickly to the key hole and put the key in, knocking Morph out of the way. Morph chirped angrily as Jim twisted the key then open the closet. Jim picks up a small red box with flowers on the side and he opened it up. Inside was the black diamond map that Silver found. Jim took it out and put it in his pants pocket then put the box back in the closet.

Jim was about to leave but then he heard voices coming this way. Jim looked around the room in panic, wondering where to hide. Jim looked at the captain office table before diving under it and Morph did the same, thinking Jim was playing a game.

A few seconds later, Amelia and Delbert walked in, talking about something which Jim really didn't under so he kind of zoned out but then Jim heard his name being brought up in the conversation "Mr Hawkins seem to be acting rather different then he normally does" the Captain said while sighing, it was obvious she was annoyed with Jim by now.

"I can reassure you captain that Jim is a nice boy. He is just a teenager and teenagers do have a lot of problems" Delbert said, defending Jim.

Jim heard the captain sigh again in annoyance but then Jim said someone else walk in with the sound of gears being heard. Jim thought that must have been Silver since he is the only one who is a cyborg. "ah… Mister Silver, what do you need?" The captain asked politely but it was obvious she still didn't trust him.

Silver sighed "I can't find Jimbo anyw'ere, 'ave ye seen th' boy" Silver asked with a hint of worry in his voice. Jim froze at the sound of Silver's voice. He knew he had to get out of here before they found him but he didn't know how too "t'at boy is always getting' out of doin' his work" Silver said, sounding angry this time instead of worry.

"Mister Hawkins has been a handful lately for all of us" the captain said. Jim looked down at the ground sad. 'Was that what they all thought of me? A trouble maker…?' Jim asked himself even though he knew he would not get an answer.

"his mother told me ta look after th' young lad but I can't do t'at if he keeps running off!" Silver yelled angrily and Jim heard a big bang. Jim guess Silver must have slammed his hand down on the table.

Jim whispered to Morph a plan on how to get out of here. Morph nodded happily then peaked out behind the desk to see if they were looking this way but they were too busy talking to each other. Morph shape shifted into a fist then flew to the window and knocked on it then quickly went back under the table before they saw him.

The 3 of them turned around when they heard the knock then made there way to the window. While they were looking out the window, Jim used this chance to get out of here. Jim crawled out from under the table and walked quickly but quietly to the door. Jim opened the door enough to get through then closed it behind him.

Silver had heard the door open since he had a metal ear that could hear very well. Silver turned around to see Jim boots walk out the door. Silver looked suspicious at the door that Jim had just gone through 'why was he in 'ere' Silver thought to himself.

Jim ran down the hall as fast as he could, trying to get as far away from the captain's stateroom as possible. Jim bumped into a few aliens walking down the hall, said a quick sorry then kept running. Jim walked down the stairs to the room where he and the crew slept. Jim knelt down next to his bag then stashed the small black ball in it "there… now if the pirates attack, they can't find the treasure" Jim said to himself then smiled to himself at his great idea but it might just get him into BIG trouble if the captan, doc or Silver found out.
