"Who are you?" Tibby asked the man.

"It's my dad!" Sammy ran and hugged the man.

"Oh Sammy," the man said, "I am so glad you found me!"

"Why were you here?" Tibby asked.

"Daddy went on a boat trip a few months ago, and was lost at sea," Sammy explained. "Who knew we would've landed on the same island as him?"

Tibby walked away, to let them be together. She had an idea in her mind, that maybe this wasn't all for an accident. Sammy came and sat beside her.

"I'm really glad we found my father," Sammy said, as she smiled at Tibby.

"I'm really not glad we're stranded here because of you," Tibby answered.

"What are you talking about?" Sammy asked. "You think I planned this?"

"Of course you did," Tibby accused her. "You knew that your dad was still alive and you found him. I remember seeing a fire on the island that day the ship wrecked. I don't know how you did it, but I know you did it."

"Tibby, you are crazy!" Sammy exclaimed. "How could I have done it? I was playing cards with you down in the cabin, remember?"

"Well maybe you already set it out before, like you used a bomb or something!" Tibby shouted.

"Well, I didn't!" Sammy screamed.

"What'd you use, then?"

"Dynamite!"

Tibby glanced at Sammy in horror. She had just admitted to killing the crew.

"Sammy," Tibby said, "why did you do it?"

"I needed to see my daddy!" Sammy cried. "I had asked the captain to take us to the island to go ashore for a few minutes, but he yelled at me!" She buried her face in her hands. "He was so mean!"

"Sammy, that doesn't give you the right to kill him!" Tibby shouted.

"Yeah," Sammy agreed. "But I saw the explosives in a crate in the storage room, and I knew that if I killed the captain, we could get my dad and sail home. But it exploded too big, and it blew up the ship."

"Great," Tibby yelled, "Now we're stuck here, thanks to you!" She shouted some curse words to no one in particular, and then looked at the small child on the sand. "You know that people are going to wonder where the captain is," she said.

"I know," Sammy cried, with tears streaming down her cheeks, "Can you tell them he had a heart attack or something?"

"They're going to go searching for his body."

"Oh $#!" Sammy shouted. "I'm going to jail?"

"You are," Tibby sighed, "Unless you're younger than 8 years old?"

"I'm 12!" Sammy shouted.

"Sammy, I can't lie to people, and neither can you," Tibby cried, "You're going to have to turn yourself in."

"But I don't want to!" Sammy shouted.

Tibby answered, "Do what your conscience tells you, I'm not a part of this."

"Are you going to testify in court?"

"Nope."

All of a sudden, they heard a large horn noise. Tibby jerked her head from Sammy to the wide blue ocean, which was now occupied by a medium-large white boat. Tibby shouted at the sight of Lena and her family at the stern.

"Lena!" Tibby shouted. "Thank you!"

Ten minutes later, Tibby, Sammy, and Sammy's dad were all under blankets in the cabin of the boat.

"Lena," Tibby asked, "How did you find us?"

"We went looking for Carmen," Lena replied, "And we saw you and Sammy on the beach, and then I said, 'hey, that looks like Tibby and Bailey's friend Sammy.' Then we came to you."

"Thank God," Tibby said, "Wait, where's Carmen?"

"We're still looking for her," Effie sighed.

Lena's dad had taken many courses in learning how to steer a boat, and so he and Ari were up on the deck the whole time.

"What about Bee?" Sammy asked.

"Well, there's a story to tell," Lena replied. "We went to your house, Tibby, to see if you were home, but you weren't. So when I went into your room to look for you, there was a constant beeping noise. I found it; it was your cell phone. We looked at the new text message on it; it was from Bee. It said:

Tibby, help, Kaya is a nightmare. Save us, we're crashed and are stranded. Shipwrecked, love Bee.

So I thought, 'her too?' And come to think of it, we almost got stranded ourselves. So Effie and I thought something fishy was going on. So we checked it out."

"And we found out," Effie interrupted, "that all of our captains were linked together in a treasure hunt, all against another. We didn't know it, but through the fog lay the ships that we were all on separately, and our captains were really looking for treasure on an island. Of course there are many islands, and they decided to split up. We don't know how it happened, but there was a mysterious death of our captain, did that happen to you?"

"It wasn't a mystery," Tibby stared at Sammy.

"So anyways," Effie continued, "It turned out that the death of our crew happened to be by some misplaced dynamite in the cellar. And it turns out that the dynamite was supposed to be for mining the treasure, but they stored it wrong so it blew up. How did yours die?"

"Someone happened to know where the dynamite was stored," Tibby stared, accusingly, at Sammy, "And they just happened to blow up the captain!"

Lena gasped, "You mean?" Tibby nodded. "Tibby, how could you?" Lena asked.

"It wasn't her," Sammy said, "I did it." Sammy's dad looked at her. "That's right; the captain was mean, so he had to go."

"Sammy," Effie gasped, "You know you can go to jail?"

"Yep," Sammy answered, "And I'm going to."

Carmen lay down on the beach, while Krista was rolled up into a ball in the hut.

"Krista, you baby!" Carmen yelled at her. "Get out here, there is no stupid rabid donkey, I made it up!"

"You did not!"

"I did, and I'm sorry!"

"No you're not!"

"Fine, oh wait, help me!" Carmen shouted as she faked being dragged off by the "rabid donkey". She made some hee-haws when she was out of sight and Krista screamed. "HELP ME!" Carmen yelled. Krista screamed some more. Carmen came back to where Krista could see her and fell on the ground laughing.

"It's not funny!" Krista shouted. "My brother got bit by a rabid donkey!"

"Where did you see a rabid donkey before?" Carmen asked her.

"At the fair," Krista defended. "Go away Carmen, you're mean!"

"You go away, you little brat!" Carmen shouted. "Why does everything have to be so perfect for you?" She picked up some rocks and threw it at the water. She fell back onto the beach, letting the sand get in her hair. Normally that would be something Bee would do, not Carmen, but being stranded on an island for a week would drive some people crazy.

"Carmen, how did the crew die?" Krista broke the long silence.

Carmen recalled the moment of alarm and fear: there was a large thump, something being knocked over? Someone jumping onboard? There was the metal scratching, swords against the side of the boat? Then there were the small explosions, tiny bombs! Carmen had remembered seeing the little bombs stored in the small room where the food was also. Then she thought about the possibilities of the thump. Come to think of it, she had heard a splash, as if someone were jumping off the boat into the water, as she flung away the smoke.

"There had to be someone getting on the boat," Carmen explained her thoughts, "and they had to have some kind of metal on them."

"A gun!" Krista shouted. "Remember, we heard a few shots and saw the bullet holes in the windows of that glass?"

"Of course, why didn't I think of that?" Carmen remembered. "There must have been some struggling with the gun, because I heard the metal scratch. And the thumps were caused by the tiny bombs I showed you before."

"Oh yeah!" Krista put it all together. "So there was a killer, with a gun, and he had difficulty shooting the crew, and then the crew threw bombs at him, but he escaped, and the crew actually hurt themselves?"

"No, he probably hid, and then they would throw them, but they didn't get away fast enough. So they exploded themselves with the bombs. That was the reason of their death, and then the guy escaped."

"Do you really think that's what happened?"

"Yeah."

Off in the distance, Carmen spotted a medium-sized ship. She jumped up and down with joy and started yelling for it. As if the ship had spotted her, it came nearer. Carmen's eyes lit up with glee, and she reported the news to Krista. The two rejoiced until the boat came to the shore.

Lena shouted out to Carmen and Carmen's eyes swelled up with tears.

"Lena!" She shouted. "Help!"

An hour later, Carmen and Krista sat in the cabin below by the warm heater and their friends. The only one missing, Carmen thought, is Bee, where is she?

Just as the thought appeared in her head, Carmen heard a large honk from the boat and a splash into the water. Someone jumped off the ship? She raced to the deck to find out. Bee had jumped off some rope swing and into the water, same old typical Bee.

Bee sat in the cabin of the large boat a few minutes after being rescued. Kaya had actually swung off of the rope, in order to get the boat's attention. They had solved their differences and now Bee and Kaya were friends. They were rescued from the horrible island, and Bridget promised herself she would never go on a small boat with practically no people ever again.

So that's the VERY END. Yeah, I was getting kind of tired of it, so I had to finish it off. Review please, because I am never writing an ongoing story like this ever again.
