The New Team Members
As Sarah and Liz drove up to the dock Judson parked the SUV and turned the engine off but didn't get out of the vehicle.
"I need to ask you two a question." Judson said as he turned to face them.
"Sure ask away." Sarah said with a smile.
"Who told you about the "Vast Explorer", because me and Mac weren't going to put a ad in the paper for another couple of weeks."
"As you know we broke down a couple of minutes from the gas station. We called for a tow truck and were in the gas station parking lot and we were talking about what to with the 100 dollars we had left. It wasn't enough to get the jeep fixed and it wasn't enough to get a hotel room.
Then this guy came over and said that his name was Gabe and that there was a ship down at the dock that was looking for some team members. It was an hours walk from the station so he gave us 50 dollars for a cab." Sarah explained.
"Why did you want to know?" Liz asked.
"Well Gabe used to work with us but he left today to go and help his brother. Gabe and us are really close. He didn't say if he was coming back or not." Judson explained to the two girls.
"Well if you want us to leave then we'll go and find work some where else." Liz said knowing that they might have ruined the friendship between Mac and Judson and what if Gabe came back.
"No you can stay on. It was Gabe's decision to leave Adventure Inc in the first place." Judson said. "You're hired!"
"Thanks a lot." Liz said.
"Yeah thanks a lot." Sarah said shaking Judson hand.
They got out of the SUV and started the short walk to the boat. Judson led the way up the gangplank and on to the main deck.
"Stay right here. I'll go and see if Mac's done with your room." Judson said as he disappeared down the stairs to the small living area.
"Mac you here?" Judson called out as he walked down the hall that led to the bedrooms and bathroom.
"Right here in Gabe's room." Mac called back.
"Hey the room ready yet the girls are up on the deck."
"Yeah give me a minute to finish up this bed and then they can move in." Mac said.
"Okay no problem." Judson said as he walked back out the room and back up the stairs to Sarah and Liz. "Mac will be finished in a couple of minutes she has to finish the other bed."
"Okay I'll go and start to bring some of the bags up from the car." Sarah said as she walked back down the gangplank and down the dock to the parking lot.
"Hey wait up!" Liz yelled as she ran down the gangplank after Sarah. "Wow that was a shock.
You still gonna call Gabe later?"
"I don't know probably. I don't want to interfere with there friendship with Gabe by going out with him." Sarah said as they reach the SUV. She pulled out the car keys and unlocked the back hatch.
"Were did you get the keys?" Liz asked surprised.
"Judson handed me them when I said I was going to the car to get the luggage." Sarah said as she grabbed her two bags. Liz grabbed her two and set them on the ground and closed the hatch. She followed Sarah as they made there way back to the boat.
"I think I'll call Gabe and we'll talk about what to do and to tell Mac and Judson." Sarah said as she walked on to the boat and down the stairs that led to living area. She set her bags on the floor and sat down at the kitchen table. Liz sat hers down beside Sarah's and went down the hall to the bathroom. As she passed one of the rooms she overheard Mackenzie talking to Judson.
"Judson the girls seem nice and all but I'm still gonna miss Gabe."
"I know but we need the extra help and they need some cash to get home and get their car fixed." Judson said.
"Yeah, but when they get there money then they'll probably leave and then we'll have to hire more people." Mac said.
"For all we know Gabe might be back by then."
"Your right."
"Listen Mac just give them a chance. Okay?"
"Okay."
"Good. Now once they move in we have to let Gabe go. This isn't Gabe's room anymore. It's
Sarah's and Liz's." Judson said as he turned to leave. "I'll go and get them."
"Okay." Mac said as she threw the pillow on to the bed that she was making.
Judson walked out of the room and walked down to the kitchen and saw Sarah sitting at the table with a cup of coffee.
"Your room is all ready. You and Liz can move in now, wait a minute where is Liz?" Judson asked.
"She went to the bathroom."
"Oh I see. Well you can move in anyway I'll help you with you stuff." Judson said.
"Okay thanks." Sarah said as she got up and walked over to the stairs and picked up her two bags. Judson walked over and picked up Liz's two bags and led the way to the room.
"Well this is it." Judson said walking in and setting the bags on the floor by the door. Sarah walked over to the bed nearest the window and set her bags on the bed. A couple of seconds later Liz walked in.
"This where we'll be calling home for awhile?" Liz said sitting on the bed and looked from Sarah to Judson.
"I'll let you girls get settled in. Supper will be around 5:30,6:00. Kay?"
"Sure thing." Liz said walking over to the door and as Judson walked out of the room she closed it.
"What was that back there you were just staring in to space." Liz said sitting back down on her
bed.
"I don't know there's just this weird vibe I'm getting from them." Sarah explained to Liz.
"Especially Judson. It's like I've seen him before and he's seen me before."
"Well when I went to the bathroom I overheard Judson and Mackenzie talking. They said that they still miss Gabe and they think that when we get are money that we'll leave and they'll have to hire new people. Then Judson said that Gabe might be back by the time we leave."
"Well let's just do are best to fit in okay?" Sarah said as she turned to her bag and started to unpack her belongings and put them in to one of the four draw dressers in the small cabin.
"Okay." Liz said as she to started to unpack her things too.
