Hooray for reviews! Kristine: You read the whole thing?! Amazing!!!!! I'm glad you like it so much and weren't intimidated by the seemingly large number of chapters.
Chapter 32: The Message"Excuse me," said Solomon Moto to the head of the coastguard. "Is there any sign of them yet?"
"I'm afraid not, Mr. Moto," he answered. "But I'm sure we'll find them soon."
Solomon leaned against the railing and scanned the sea for any sign of his grandson. However, nothing could be seen for miles around: no boats, or even
an island they might be on.
It was very nice of the coastguard to take me out on his ship, he thought to himself. I just hope they're all right, especially after that storm. What if? . . . what if? . . . no, I won't let myself think such things. I've got to stay positive. Yugi's a smart boy; he can handle the boat. I hope. Suddenly, a white dove landed next to him on the railing, jolting him out of his reverie.
"And where did you come from?" chuckled Solomon. The bird stuck out a leg. In its talons, it held a piece of paper. "What's this?" he asked as he took it from the bird.
"Yugi's Grandfather," read Solomon in surprise. "I know where your grandson is. I know you're probably worried about him, but he is fine. However, one of his passengers is very ill, and needs a doctor as soon as possible. Yugi will explain everything to you. Follow the white dove to find him. Sincerely, Nephilia. P.S. I'm sorry about wrecking your boat trip."
Oh no! Mrs. Wheeler is going to kill me if it is Serenity or Joey, thought Solomon. But at least Yugi's safe. I wonder who this Nephilia is . . . .
"Could you come here a second?" said Solomon, turning to the coastguard.
"Of course, Mr. Moto," replied the coastguard, as he also came over to lean on the rail. He put a hand up to his eyes and scanned the sea intently. "Have you spotted something?"
"No."
"I'm sorry to say that I have not seen any sign of a boat at all, but don't worry, we'll keep looking." The coastguard turned to leave, thinking that was all Solomon had wanted, but suddenly Solomon's voice stopped him.
"I think I know where my grandson is."
"Really?" asked the coastguard skeptically, turning around. "Where?"
"Just follow the white dove," replied Solomon, as he watched the bird hover in the air. The coastguard went to tell the pilot, and they were off.
I'm coming, Yugi, thought Solomon as he stared at the lone figure of the dove. I'm coming.
Augh! No Kaiba in this chapter!!!! But he and the rest of the Yu-gi-oh! crew will be in the next chapter for sure!
