I was in the middle of doing my English homework on my bed when my phone started ringing, my step-mom wasn't home so she couldn't exactly answer the down stairs phone, I stretched across the bed and managed to grab the phone "Yo?" I answered, I held it bewteen my ear and shoulder so I could do my work at the same time
"Were going to Palau" it was Sean and he sounded very excited "You wanna run that by me again?" I asked confused, he sighed "Look I cracked the sattelite code and used 3 different books to figure out where it exactly was but I found it and I'm going to Palau with Hank and your coming with us" he said,
I stopped working and actually held the phone with my hand "Go to your window" I said, I stood by my bedroom window and opened rasied the blinds, our window were right across from each other so we could see practically see into the others bedroom, he soon appeared and looked happy as hell
"I don't know Sean" I said hesitatingly, he rolled his eyes "C'mon Lanie I always told you I'd take you on an' adventure as good as the one I went on with my Uncle and now that we can finally go you don't know if you wanna do it" he said, I sighed "I'm not saying I don't want to Sean what I'm saying is I have my English homework to do and we have school"
I pointed out, he shrugged "Your a straight A student Lane's I'm sure you could miss a couple days school, besides Hank said it was okay for you to go if your mom said so" he said, I thought for a moment before shaking my head "No Sean I can't, my step-moms not even home she had to go out on a 6 week buisness trip to England, and I'm grounded by the way" I said, he looked in thought "It's the lost Island Lanie, I really want you to come" he said pleadingly,
I put a hand to my forehead in thought "How long will we be gone?" I asked sighing, he smiled "Is that a yes?" he asked hopefully, I rolled my eyes "No it's a how long will we be gone Sean?" I repeated, he shrugged "Couple of days I guess" he replied, I nodded "I'll go" I said, he cheered to himself
"You will not regret it Lane's, pack fast cuz were leaving this afternoon" he said, he hung up and dissapeared from view "Damn it" I exclaimed, I shouldn't have given in so easily, Jessie was right I was wrapped around his finger, I looked back at my English work and put it in a pile "Maybe I can finish when I get back" I said to myself hopefully, after cleaning my room I pulled out my bagpack.
In Palau...
After a long plane ride we eventually reached Palau, so far it wasn't that bad but we had barely gotten anywhere yet "...Just remember I've been on these adventures before so just lemme handle this" Sean said, I was looking around the place and so far all I had seen was fish heads being cut off "Easy buddy, just remember who's financing this whole trip" Hank replied, I rolled my eyes, they had been practically arguing all the way here "You know Queen Isabella didn't tag along with Columbus"
Sean said "Okay Isabella you handle your thing we'll see...oh watch the lizard" Hank said as a man with a pet lizard walked past him, Sean chuckled "Big mans afraid of a little lizard huh?" he asked amused "Big mans not afraid of anything I love lizards, when their boots and belts" Hank said, I smiled and followed them to one of the men with a boat
"Excuse us, hi. We uh, we americans, you tour guide?" Sean asked the man, I laughed quietly "Uh Sean..." I started, he turned to me "Don't worry Lane's I got this" he reasured before turning back to the man "You take us on boat...on water" he said making a water motion with his hand "You wanna charter a boat?" the man asked in normal English,
Hank chuckled "I did my research sweety and the official language of Palau is English" I said, Sean nodded "Thank you, uh we need someone to take us to an' island...located here" he said, he pulled out his phone and held it out to the man "Absolutely not" the man replied "Why?" I asked confused "Because there is no island just a bunch of storms it's a graveyard for ships"
the man said, I nodded in understanding "We'll pay you good money 1000 dollars" Sean shouted "Only a fool trades his life for money" the man replied before walking away, I faced the boys "Looks like were not getting to the island" I said shrugging, they both nodded and I sighed "Excuse me, Excuse me..." a man said coming up to us "...this is your lucky day my name is Gabato the best captain in Palau and I understand you need some transportation"
the man said, Sean nodded and handed him the phone "Yeah that's great we just need you to get us here, it'll be 1000 bucks if you can" he said, Gabato nodded "Wooh baby easy peasy easy peasy, let's go" he said taking Sean's bag and carrying it for him, Hank turned to me with a confused look,
I shrugged and followed Sean who was following Gabato, he lead us to a large white boat and my eyes widened slightly "Nice ride" Hank and Sean exclaimed in sync while looking at the boat "Thank you thank you" Gabato replied, I turned to him and noticed he was stood in front of a run down helicopter
"What in the blue heck is that?" Hank asked "This is the finest helicopter in Palau" Gabato replied motioning to it "I'd hate to see the worst" I muttered, Gabato opened the door and two chickens fell out "That's just my security system" he said chuckling, I nodded "I'd rather take the titanic" Hank said making me laugh slightly "Uh Kailani we have customers here...you simply must meet my daughter she's a real beauty looks just like me" Gabato said to us,
I nodded "You know what this choppers not gonna work out let's go" Hank said turning around, Sean stopped him "You know what Hank, now that I get a better look at it this choppers pretty frickin gorgeous" he said, I looked where he was looking and there was a girl stood next to Gabato, she must've been his daughter,
she was actually very pretty and was to my sadness getting all of Sean's attention "This is the daughter that looks like you?" Hank asked amused "Look the same nostrils" Gabato said, Kailani chuckled "Who are these people?" she asked, Sean stepped forward "Uh I am a scientific explorer and this is..." Sean couldn't seem to introduce Hank and I so we did it ourselves
"I'm Lanie and this is Hank" I said sweetly, just because my boyfriend seemed to like her very much didn't mean that I would take it out on her, it's not like she had anything to do with it "Okay so uh, we need to get here" Sean said holding out his phone for the 3rd time today "Not on this helicopter, that's the most dangerous part of the ocean"
Kailani said, Gabato pulled her to the side and they talked for a few seconds "Make it 2000" Kailani said "No way, we had a deal" Hank said stepping forward "Then make it 3000, and good luck on finding someone else to take you there" she said, Hank sighed and looked at Sean "Please" he said, Hank sighed again and faced Kailani
"D'you take Visa?" he asked, they nodded "Can we pay after you get us back safely?" Hank asked, Kailani sighed before nodding "Sure" she agreed, while Gabato and Hank got into the front seat, Kailani waited for Sean and I to get in "After you" Sean said motioning me to go first, I nodded "Yeah I thought you'd say that" I snapped before jumping into the seat by the window.
