Rats!  I didn't get any reviews on the last chapter ;_; Oh well, maybe people will like this chapter better.  I'll be gone for a couple of days so I won't be able to update until Saturday, but I'll do my best to get the next chapter up on Friday (if I get reviews ^_~)

Chapter 11: Weather Watch

"Are you sure you can't find them?" asked Solomon.  He was at the coastguard station, talking to the man in charge.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Moto," he said.  "I've got all of my patrols searching, but so far, nothing."

"Please keep looking!  They've got to be out there somewhere!" pleaded Solomon.

"Mr. Moto," said the coastguard.  "Is anyone on the boat experienced in the ways of sailing at all?"

"Not really," said Solomon.  "They're just kids!"

The coastguard's beeper went off, startling both of them.  He motioned for Solomon to sit in the corner while he took the call.  Solomon took a seat in a rather battered-looking red leather chair.  The stuffing was coming out, and one of its legs was shorter than the rest.  He looked around the ivory-colored room and noticed that the paint was peeling in many places.  Yugi, he thought.  I hope you're all right.

The coastguard nodded a few times, and ended the connection.  Then he stood up.

"Well?" asked Solomon.

"Still no sign of them."

Just then, the radio in the station started beeping.

"Severe weather on the way!" it said.  "An abnormally strong storm for this season is sweeping across the sea!  Recall all patrols and warn any vessels in the area immediately!"

"Oh no!" said Solomon.  "You're not really going to recall all of your patrols, are you!?"

"I have to, Mr. Moto," he replied.

The head of the coastguard picked up his personal radio and transmitted the message to all of his patrols.

"But what about my grandson and his friends?"

"I'm sorry.  There's nothing I can do.  But be optimistic.  The boat may not be in the main area affected by the storm.  And afterwards, I will personally take you out on a boat to look for your grandson."

            "Where exactly is the area where the storm will hit?"

The coastguard showed him the chart.  Solomon looked at it for a moment.  Then his eyes widened and his face turned white.

            "So, anyone in this red area will be unable to avoid the storm?"

"That is correct, Mr. Moto.  Why do you ask?"

            "That's where Yugi is."
