Sweeten the taste
Chapter 3:
They started to wonder into the moving crowd. Although Hawaii was very beautiful it was also very noisy at times, this was one of them.
"Marik... look at that." Something had caught Malik's eye.
"What is it?"
It was a necklace with a seashell on the end.
"Malik, we don't have time for this. We got to find that guy."
"We don't even know what he looks like... how are we supposed to find him?"
"Well, from that e-mail thing. He was wearing a black coat... maybe he still is."
"Marik that could've been taped days ago. And even if it wasn't who would be stupid enough to wear the same thing that he wore on a ransom video."
Marik sighed and they keep walking. Once they had gotten out of the busy part of Hawaii they came to this huge hotel. With glossy paint and palm trees, it was about fifty stories.
"Hey Malik, see?"
"Yeah, what an eye sore."
"No. The guy that took the millennium puzzle must be in there, rich hotel's are always where bad guys go."
"Then how come we don't go there?"
"Bad example. C'mon we gotta go in there and search for him."
"We don't have any money remember? They're not going to let us in."
"Hmm." Marik thought for a while, "I know!"
The next thing they knew they were dressed up in bellhops clothing that they had stolen. "Marik this is ridiculous."
"Just keep walking." Marik whispered. "We have to find his room number."
They snuck up behind the front desk and looked at the names on the keys. "Malik, what do you think his name is?"
"There's thousands of keys here and expect me to pick one?!"
"We got to hurry before the front desk person comes back... I think he would pick a common name, to confuse people."
"But what if he knows that we might think that and picks a weird name... like Mr. Guacamole."
"Mr. Guacamole or Mr. Smith?"
"Pick one the lady is coming back!"
Instead, Marik took both keys and they ran up stairs.
"Okay the closest room is Mr. Smith it's #123."
"Alright, let's go." They went down the hall and found the room number. "Okay Marik, I'll see if he's in here... then we rush him and get the puzzle."
Malik put the key in then turned it, he poked his head in and...
"Ahh!"
Malik shut the door then turned around. "That wasn't him."
"Who was it?"
"You don't want to go in there..."
"Why not?"
"I think it's one of those honeymoon rooms."
"What makes you think that?"
"Because there was a wedding dress on the floor and two people on the bed doing who knows what...Heterosexuals are weird."
"Tell me about it." They decided to try the other door on the 5th floor.
When they finally got up there, Marik decided to open the door since Malik was still in shock. "Okay, ready?"
"Yup." Malik was right behind him.
Marik unlocked it then busted the door wide open. They didn't see anyone at first but they wandered in anyway. "Marik, do you see him?"
"No, we should try and find the puzzle if we can. So we can get out of here."
They looked around and after about 10 minutes the whole place was messy from them throwing things while searching.
"I can't find anything, he must have taken the puzzle with him where ever he went." Malik said sitting on the bed.
Just then the door opened and that same man they saw on the video was standing in the doorway.
"..." He didn't say anything.
Marik and Malik didn't say anything but they saw the millennium puzzle hanging around his neck.
The man ran past them and jumped out of the window. Marik went to the windowsill to see if he had died from impact. "I hope that puzzle is okay."
The man landed on his feet, ran onto the airstrip on the beach and into a helicopter, it soon took off and flew away.
"Well, that's wonderful!" Malik shouted in disbelief.
"Ugh, c'mon!" Marik ran out the door and his hikari followed.
They went out of the building and ran down to that same airstrip. They couldn't see the helicopter.
"Aw, man! He got away!" Malik sat down in the sand.
Marik looked around for a bit then saw an airplane on the other side of the beach loading passengers and cargo.
"Malik, look! We can catch up with him in that!" He pointed to the large Delta Plane.
"Marik we don't have enough money for a flight and even if we did... if that guy is going one way, that plane might be going the other."
"Were not going to be passengers... were going to be captains!"
Malik stood up, "You mean were going to hijack a plane!?"
"That's the plan." Marik started to run for the plane.
'He's insane.' Malik followed.
As soon as they got to the plane they pretended they were passengers and got on board. They went up to the cockpit and sat down in the pilot seats.
"Marik, I'm not so sure about this... we've never flown a plane before."
"Stop being so afraid all the time. You can be co-pilot."
"I asked one of the people where this flight goes and he said Cuba."
"We'll have to ask Kaiba where were going."
"But..." Marik grabbed the walkie-talkie from Malik and radioed Kaiba.
"Hello? Kaiba?"
"Hey. You lost the puzzle didn't you?" Kaiba said.
"Lay off. Were going to get it back. Where is he?"
"He's..." Kaiba looked at his computer, "In Mexico."
"Okay thanks."
"Well?" Malik looked at him.
"Were going to Mexico!"
Malik sighed and put on his helmet. "You don't know how to fly a plane... I'm going to die."
"You've had a good life, right?"
"I'm only 17!"
"I said good, not long."
