Sweeten the taste
Chapter 6:
The man looked behind him down at the 100 ft drop into jagged rocks. "I'll not give up this puzzle until I get my money!"
"What would you do with 20 billion dollars anyway?" Malik asked.
"I'd rule the world!"
"You might need a bit more than that to rule the world..."
Marik glared at him, "Just hand it over!"
"Or what?"
"Die."
Marik and Malik pulled out their millennium rods and pointed them at him.
The man was starting to sweat then he fell back off the cliff. "You'll never catch me!"
Marik ran over to the edge only to see him fall into the sunroof of a jet plane and zoom off into the distance. "You must be joking!"
"What happened Marik?" Malik asked from behind him.
Marik turned around and sighed, "He got away."
"Again?!"
"Again." Marik started to walk off. "Call Kaiba."
"Oh... he's gonna be mad."
"I know."
Malik took the walkie-talkie out of his pocket and pressed the button, "Kaiba?"
"He got away."
"Yeah...Where is he?"
"I don't know. He hasn't gotten there yet. I'll call you when he gets to his destination."
"Okay, thanks."
Malik caught up with Marik, "Kaiba says he hasn't gotten to his destination. So, we have to wait till he calls back."
"Wait?!" Marik leaned against the car. "Ugh, what are we supposed to do now?"
Malik picked up Monkey and looked at the Mexican boats still going down the river. "We could watch this thing there doing."
Marik looked up and walked over to the waters edge. "Yeah okay."
After two hours of watching different colored boats pass by Marik fell onto the wet grass and sighed.
He looked up at Malik watching the boats and setting Monkey on the ground next to him. Marik looked back at the sun and fell asleep.
In a couple of minutes the walk-talkie in Malik's pocket was making noises again, "Kaiba?"
"I know where he is."
"Great!"
"You're not going to think it's so great in a minute."
"Why? Where is he?"
"Paris, France."
"You must be kidding?!"
"Nope."
"France? How are we supposed to get to France?"
"I don't know. Ask Marik."
Malik looked back at his yami, "Yeah. I hope we don't have to fly again."
"Later."
Malik put the walkie-talkie back into his pocket and crawled over to Marik. "Marik? Wake up okay."
"..." Marik moved a little bit and opened his eyes. "Hey Malik."
He sat up and rubbed his eye. "What's up?"
"We have to go to France."
"...You're kidding..."
Malik stood up, "That's what I told Kaiba. But it's where we gotta go. So, how are we gonna get there?"
Marik thought for a minute, "Well, we could take another plane."
"And send another flight to their doom? No thanks."
"Well, then we could..." he looked around. "SUBMARINE!!!"
"Submarine?"
"Yeah," Marik stood and pointed. "Look!"
Malik turned his head and on the other side of the water was a dock with dozens of different submarines. "Wow!"
Marik was already in the jeep, "Let's go, Malik."
Malik grabbed Monkey and jumped in. They drove to the other side and got out when they saw the dock. Lots of people were surrounding the mini- subs and Marik groaned, "Aw! How are we supposed to steal one with all these people around?"
Malik sighed, "Why do you always want to steal?"
"Do you know how much one of these would cost? C'mon."
Marik dragged Malik over to a man in a suit by one of the submarines. "Hello."
"Hello, sir. Are you interested in one of these submarines?"
"Well, maybe. Could we see this one from the inside?"
"Certainly." He opened the hatch and let them in, "This is one of our newer models."
Marik felt the steering wheel and pulled down the microscope down so he could see outside.
"Cool..."
The man smiled. "It even has turbo drive, it'll go 100 mph in water."
Marik looked at Malik, "And how much did you say this was?"
"A bargain price at $300,000."
Malik sighed and said, "Go ahead."
Marik mouthed the words 'Thank you.'
