Sorry for taking so long, but here it is! Chapter 3!
As Zak walks down the hall he passes the living area. He hears the news reporter talk about a case that happened a week ago. A family of four along with another man mysteriously disappeared while on a tour of the Serengeti.
'"New evidence shows a video of what actually happened that fateful night. The footage shows a strange creature, people are now calling the African Phantom, jumping out of the grass and is about to attack the camera holder."
That caught Zak's attention. He runs over to the TV and rewinds it. He plays the tape again and looks at the footage found at the scene.
"Seriously? That's all the public could think of. The African phantom." Doc says as he walks into the room followed by Drew and Doyle.
"Well, what is it then?" Zak asks.
"The Nandi bear. Native to East Africa, Kenya mostly, it is named after the Nandi Tribe, but the Nandi people call it Kerit." Drew explains. "It is said that it attacks people, kids mostly, on moonless nights."
"What's that?" Doyle asks as he points to the TV screen, inturrpting Drew.
"At the end of this video you can see a tall shadow holding what looks like a glowing sphere." the news reporter continues.
"That doesn't look like a cryptid. With the way it stands it looks more like a human." Doc says.
"Well I guess we know where we're going today." Zak exclaims, happy that he's finally going to get out of the house.
"I never said we were going any where." Doc firmly replies.
"But dad, we've been sitting around doing nothing this whole week!" Zak retorts.
"And we should stay here. If Argost has been quiet for this long, he's probably planning something. Also, we haven't been sitting around and doing nothing." Doc says.
"Actually, yes we have." Doyle blurts. Doc turns and looks sharply at him. "Just saying."
"Actually, Doyle and Zak are kinda right. It would be nice to get out for awhile." Drew adds.
"Uhh," Doc stutters. He knew that if his wife chose to do something, she was determined to do it.
"Please,Dad?" Zak gives him the cutest puppy dog face he could give.
Doc sighs,"Fine."
The Saturdays, along with Doyle, gather in the airship's control room.
"Can I drive?" Doyle asks.
"No." Drew and Doc respond simultaneously.
"Can I drive?" Zak asks.
"Do I have to even answer that question?" Doc says as the airship lifts off.
After the airship was in the sky for an hour, Zak walks into the control room.
"I haven't seen Fisk, Zon, or Komodo. Have you guys seen them?" he asks.
"It has been really quiet. Maybe they're.. oh no. That's not good." Drew says.
"What's not good?" Doc asks.
"Well I think we left them at home." she replies.
"That is not good, but I guess we're going to do this with out them. We are half way there and I really don't want to turn back." Doc says.
"But Dad," Zak says as he walks down the ramp. "Think of all the trouble they could get into."
"I wouldn't worry, Zak. They are well behaved cryptids, well maybe not komodo, but still. I think they will be just fine." Drew says.
"Well, I hope so."
Back at The Saturday's Household
Fisk just won his hundredth game against the computer. This whole time, he hadn't noticed that Zak had been gone.
"Hmm." he walks out of the room and into the hallway.
"Hello?" he said. "Zur?"
As he walked down the hallway, Fisk tripped on something invisible.
Komodo, the Saturdays' komodo dragon reappeared.
"Baddru!" he scolded. Suddenly a loud screech errupts and Zon, the Saturdays' tropeognathus robustus, flies down the hall and swoops down low, barely missing Fisk's head by a few centimeters. She lands behind Fisk and makes a chuckling sound, as did Komodo
"Grr." Fisk growled.
Fisk walked onto the top of the building to where he thought the airship was parked, but it wasn't there.
"Uh oh."
Sorry that it took me so long to write this chapter. I promise it won't take me two days to write the next one. Also I admit, this wasn't one of my best works, and I am so sorry about that. Rookie mistake.
