The next morning on the "Vast Explorer" was of a different atmosphere. Judson was the first one awake. As he passed Mac's room he thought that she looked so peaceful. As he passed Sarah and Liz's room he stopped and looked in on them. He couldn't quite put his finger on it but Sarah she somehow seemed familiar, but he didn't know how. He walked on and in to the kitchen. He grabbed a coffee cup out of the cupboard and poured some coffee in to his cup. Just as he was about to sit down he saw a figure out of the corner of his eye. He turned around and saw Sarah standing there in her PJ's.
"Morning." Sarah said as she walked in to the small kitchen. "Where you keep the coffee cups?"
"Second cupboard from the left." Judson said as he sat down at the kitchen table to drink his coffee. Sarah poured herself a cup and sat down at the table across from Judson.
"Ever been to Mexico?" Judson asked.
"No, but I saw the movie "Once upon a Time in Mexico." Sarah said with a laugh. "Why you ask?"
"Oh just because that's where were heading out his afternoon." Judson said.
"REALLY ARE YOU KIDDING ME!" Sarah exclaimed.
"Nope, not kidding that's where are next job takes us. Since you and Liz are part of the team you're coming with us." Judson said with a smile. As he sat at the table watching Sarah race out of the room to go and tell her friend Liz that they were going to Mexico.
Sarah Patterson dark brown hair with green hazel eyes. Whenever she smiled it reached her eyes. It reminded him of someone, but he didn't quite know who yet. Then it hit Judson, GABE she reminded him of Gabe. That was it the dark brown hair and the green hazel eyes. Judson knew that he shouldn't probe but he needed to know if she somehow was related to Gabe. Maybe she wasn't, but if she was why didn't she say anything. Maybe she didn't know herself.
On the other hand her friend Liz Harrison (short for Elizabeth) had dark red hair with blue eyes. They couldn't be more different but still they were the best of friends.
As Sarah barged in to the room and found that Liz was still sound asleep. Sarah jumped on the bed and initially woke Liz up.
"Can't a person get any sleep?" Liz grumbled as she turned around and was about to go back to sleep when Sarah blurted out.
"Guess where were going?" Sarah asked. "Were going to Mexico."
"WHAT were going to Mexico?" Liz said sitting up so fast that Sarah fell to the floor with a thud. "Are you alright?"
"Yeah I'm fine." Sarah said getting back up on her feet. "I'm going to go and get dressed and then go and warm my probably cold coffee back up."
"Oh okay." Liz said as she watched Sarah pull out a white t-shirt and a pair of blue jeans from her dresser. She walked out and went into the bathroom to take a shower.
When Sarah emerged from the bathroom and went in to the kitchen she saw Liz and Mac sitting at the kitchen table taking.
"Hey there." Mac said as Sarah went over and put her coffee in the microwave.
"Hey." Sarah replied she heard the beeping sound of the microwave and went over and took it out and sat down at the table with Mac and Liz.
"So what's up?" Mac asked.
"Nothin much." Sarah replied, "So what is it that were supposed to find exactly?"
"It's some kind of jade ring that is supposed to carry good luck." Mac explained to the two girls.
"Judson can probably explain it better then I can."
"By the way were is Judson?" Liz asked looking around.
"I saw him this morning when I got up, but after I went in the shower he was no where to be found." Sarah said as she got up from the table and went to the stairs that led to the upper deck of the ship. She climb up the stairs and looked down the dock for the Land Rover but it wasn't there. She went back down below deck and told Liz and Mackenzie that the Rover was gone.
"Well he'll be back sooner or later or if he'll be more then an hour he'll call." Mac said getting up from the table and taking her coffee cup to the sink. She went back down the hall and back to her bedroom.
"Well I'm going to go and work on my lap top and e-mail my parents tell them what's going on."
Sarah said as she got up from the table and retrieved her laptop from her bedroom and went in to the living room and sat on the floor with the laptop on the coffee table.
As Sarah opened her e-mail she saw that she had one e-mail. She opened it up and saw that it was from one of her and Liz's other friend Holly. It read:
"Hey Sarah and Liz,
When are you guys getting back? Sarah there was this guy at your house a couple of days ago he said his name was Christian and that he needed to talk to you. I just told him that you were away and would be back soon.
Your Friend Holly."
"Some guy named Christian, never heard of him." Sarah said as she replied to Holly's e-mail and e-mailed her parents and told them that she and Liz would be back and that they had run out of money and would be home in a couple of months. She closed her laptop and leaned back on to the couch and fell asleep.
thanks and stay tuned for more!
