Chapter 23

"So I guess since we can't find anything we'll just head back to the boat then?" Shayne said as the two of them were walking down the street.

"Yeah, I haven't seen anyone from our crew around," Kan said. "Guess they already went back."

"Wait," Shayne stopped. Then he slowly turned his head around to face Kan. "You say they already went back?"

"Yeah, it's getting around dinner time anyway," he replied.

Then Shayne put on his face a look that showed he was appalled, yet scared at what Kan had just said. "We're late!" He blurted out. "If we head back now Mia's gonna kill us!" He screamed.

"I didn't say it was dinner time yet," Kan said. "It's just getting near it."

Then Shayne grabbed Kan by the shirt and pulled him after him as he was running towards the boat. "We just have to get there as soon as possible then!" He yelled while running.

After their little outburst in the middle of the street, the two people in the alleyway saw them. "Quick they're leaving," one said. "We can't loose track of them!" They said as they ran out of the alleyway following the two of them.

"We have to stop them before they meet up with their crew and get to their boat!" The other person said.

At the boat:

"Huh? What do you mean?" Yousef asked as he looked down at the little girl.

"I was told to find the captain." The little girl replied. "So are you the captain?"

"No..." Yousef replied.

"Hey Yousef! What you doing up there?" they heard Blade shout out from below.

Then the little girl ran up to the side of the ship. She jumped up so she was on top of the railing and looked down at Blade. She pointed her finger at him. "You there! Are you the captain?!" She shouted down to him.

"Um... No," he responded. "Hey Yousef, whose the little girl?" Blade asked him.

"I don't know," he said. "She was just standing up here when I came."

That was when Ian, Mia, and Scout arrived. The girl then turned to face them.

"Hey, what's that little girl doing here?" Ian asked.

"That's what we're trying to figure out," Blade replied.

All five of them looked at the girl, whose face was getting red with anger, "IM NOT A LITTLE GIRL!" She screamed.

"Oh, I guess we know what ticks her off," Blade said.

"Well we're sorry for calling you little," Mia said trying to make peace with the situation. "So can you tell us what you're doing here?" she then asked.

"I'm looking for the captain," was the girl's simple reply.

With Shayne and Kan:

The two of them were about to round the corner of a building. "Quick we can stop them here," one of their followers said.

As Shayne and Kan turned around the corner they were stopped by the two people. They were both teenage girls, one about 15 and the other 17, they were holding their arms out not letting the two of them pass. "Hey move it!" Shayne said as he looked at the two girls trying to get around them.

"I'm afraid we can't do that," one of the girls replied.
