Jim had been looking every where asking dozens of people all around the town of Bablen but no one had herd about 'Captain Scroop' or they were too scared to admit it. Fustraighted and tired he went into a tavern and sat down when he was approached by a large stone man much like Arrow only more gruff and edged looking. "I hears ye wanna know about Cap'm Scroop ?" "Yes?" Jim replied hesitant of this man .
"I was 'is first mate till he kicked me off de ship fer trying ta let dat girl go.." Jim interest peeked . "Jen?" "Dat was 'er name? Never would tell me 'er name..silent type Yet fiesty." "where is she?" "they are headin' to the Cygneous Cross. it's about three days from here ye hurry ye may can catch 'em." "Thank you!" Jim has never trusted a pirate well other than silver.
Jim payed for his drink and ran out and all the way to the hotel they were staying in and burst into Amelia's and Delbert's room where the captain was reading over a map and Delbert has passed out in a recliner.
"James what in the world?" "Captain! I know where Jen is!" Amelia ear's shot up and her interest peeked.
"Go on man out with it!" "I ran into Scroop's ex-first mate and he said they were heading for the Cygneous Cross." "The Cygneous Cross? Why we passed that on our way to-" Then Amelia and Jim both exclaimed , "Treasure Planet!"
"By george! That blasted pirate thinks the treasure is still there...Delbert!" The poor sleeping Doctor was surprised and fell from his seat yelping. "Amelia what is it-Jim?"
"We know where Jeanine is there heading to the Cygneous Cross you are familiar with that area are you not darling?" "Y-yes I am but why are they going there , its only a small trading posts here and there the rest is pretty boring."
"Treasure planet." Jim said and delbert's eyes widen . "B-but it's gone?" "We know that , Jen knows that but Scroop does not and if they get there with her and it's no longer there-" Amelia stopped ears flatten. "No we shall find her it shall not come to that." she said regaining her composer.
"James go tell the Arrows' we know where there daughter is."
Jim walked two doors down where he knew Christina and Arrow were and knocked . Christina of course answered the door. "Jim ?" she whispered . "Mrs. Arrow , we've located Jen."
"Is she alright? ""I don't know ma'am.. but we're heading out a-s-a-p to find her. " It amazed Christina how mature Jim could act at such a young age. "Alright I'll pack." "Is Arrow even well enough to travel? " "No but...he will anyway... I know him."
Jim knodded and turned to leave when she called from behind him , "Jim..I'm sorry for what happen the other day. You know me slapping you and all.." He tuned back and faced her. " "I's alright.. I had no place to say that but I do love Jen.." "As do I , I may not show it but she's my only baby."
Jim now seen Christina wasn't much different from his own mother. Because despite the fact she devoiced mister Arrow she was still Jen's mother. and did care enough but Jim hadden't taken the time to see the woman's own hurt over her daughter's dissapperance. "If you need...I can stay here. and we can talk about this."
"Thank you..i'd like that." She smiled gently it reminded him of Jen when her father was lost to the black hole. She stepped out and they went out and down to the cafateria to talk things out.
"You know when I left I didnt want to .." "then why did you ?" "I was trapped... I loved my husband and daughter but the world didn't want me too." "It didn't mean you had to listen." "I know..but have regreated it ever since the day I left...but I couldn't stand the thought of how Jen felt about me.." "Jen really loves you.." she told me so. "thank you Jim.. you dont know how much I needed to hear that...Im glad she found someone like you.."
"Im glad to I got to meet you as well.." "Well I suppose I need to get ready so we may depart quickly.." "Yes ma'am."with that the two departed waysfeeling a bit better about each other.
