Chapter 15: The Stowaway
"Hey!" yelled Joey. "Where did the other bag of cheese puffs go?!"
"Beats me," said Tristan. "You probably ate them all."
"Did not!" said Joey. "Someone's been stealing food!" Then his face grew suspicious for the second time in an hour, and he looked sideways at Tristan once more.
"What's that look for?!" asked Tristan.
"I bet it was you again!"
"Hey, come on, man! Chill out!"
"Don't 'chill out' me, you . . . you . . . you food – snatcher!"
Joey jumped on Tristan, and they started wrestling again.
"Hey, look at this, guys!" said Tea, pointing to the deck. A trail of cheese puff fragments led to the cabin. They opened the door and saw the trail ending at a low shelf on the cabin wall.
"I think we have a guest," whispered Yugi. He moved aside the cooler, revealing a plump raven with cheese puff crumbs on his feathers.
"Aha! A stowaway!" yelled Joey.
The raven squawked in surprise at being found, and tried to escape out the window. But Yugi was too quick for the bloated bird, and he overturned a basket on it. Joey placed the cooler on top to stop it from getting away.
"There's something funny about that raven," said Yugi.
"Yeah, I know what you mean," said Tea. "His eyes are so creepy!"
"It's been watching us for some time," said Seto from the corner.
"How do you know?" asked Joey. "I bet it's your little spy!"
"Don't be a moron, Wheeler!" snapped Seto. "Why would I need to spy on someone like you?!"
"Then how did you know about it?"
"I've seen two eyes watching us from the shadows twice before, but I wasn't sure what it was. And when I blinked, they disappeared," he explained.
"Why didn't you say something?" asked Yugi.
"You never asked," replied Seto dryly.
"So what should we do with it?" asked Tristan.
Yugi, I feel that we need to find out where this raven is from, said Yami.
I know what you mean, answered Yugi.
"We let it go, and follow it. There must be a reason why it's here, and we're going to find out!" said Yugi out loud.
He took the cooler off the basket and allowed the bird to fly out from under it. Then he set the boat on an eastward course, following the raven.
Well, that's all for now! Review, please!!!!!
