Scorpion: A New Member

Chapter 63: Dont worry, we got this

MEGHANS POV
Toby just left to pick up Ralph, now it's just Happy and I. Neither of us are sure what the hell is happening on that cruise ship because they won't tell us anything. I take out the ear piece and put them on speaker on my IPad.
"What the hell is happening over there?" Happy asks leaning back in her chair.
"Well, I guess you know that the boat just set sail and now we're on our way to Puerto Rico. The real problem is that we think someone saw us when we were looking for the rockets." Walter says.
"So you didn't find the rockets?" Happy asks.
"No, we found them we just couldn't carry them back with us because if somebody saw us-"
"Then you'd be in some deep shit." I say cutting him off.
"Exactly." Walter agrees.
"Well we're having dinner with the captain now." Paige says.
"Good luck with that." Happy says not very enthusiastic.
"Just keep your cool and act normal." I respond trying to keep my cool. At this moment Toby walks in with Ralph.
"Hey champ." Happy says giving him a high five.
"Hey bud. You weren't really sick were you?" I ask him messing up his hair.
"Nope." He says sitting next to me on the hospital bed.
"That's my boy." I respond smiling.
"What's going on over there?" Toby asks Walt over the ear piece.
"We have lots of problems at the moment-" Walt gets cut off by Paige yelling.
"Shit! We're late for the captains dinner!"
"Crap, you guys are screwing up left a right today." Happy says almost frustrated.
"No you can't go in that." Paige says to Walter.
"What's wrong with what I'm wearing?" Walter asks.
"Your a mess, go change."
"My clothes are fine."
"Your sweating through your suit and we are eating with the captain, go change!" Paige shouts in response. I assume Walt goes to get changed because the line goes silent.
"They're like an old married couple." I say, slightly laughing, to Toby and Happy. Toby and Happy laugh in reply.
"It's kinda true." Toby says laughing. Ralph looks confused but goes back to listening for somebody to say something on the other line. Eventually Walter comes back on the line.
"Does this meet your approval?" Walter asks Paige. I can imagine her looking him up and down.
"Yes, now let's go." They walk to the dining area, I can only imagine what it looks like, I've never been on a boat before. They take their seats and a man with a deep voice says
"You must be Mr and Mrs Francisco?" There's silence from Paige and Walt.
"That's you." I says into the ear piece.
"Oh right." Paige whispers back.
"Yep that's us." Walter says to the man.
"So what do you two do for a living?" The man asks.
"Um I fix routers." Walt responds.
"I'm a waitress." Paige says. The man ask a few more questions and I have o say Walt and Paige are awful at acting. Suddenly the speakers on the boat turn on and somebody says something, but it get muffled by the earpiece and I can't hear what they say.
"What did they just say?" I ask Paige.
"They want all of us in the central lobby now." Paige responds, I can hear the fright in her voice.
"Paige you go with Sly, Cabe and I will go find the rockets." Walter instructs.
"Ok." Paige replies quietly. They walk down the lobby while Walter and Cabe go to a small compartment under the lobby where the rockets are. My tablet is connected to both Walters and Paige ear pieces so I can hear both of them.
"Did you find the rockets?" I ask Walter.
"No, but we're close." He responds.
"On the other hand they are about to call us and the IDs that Happy gave us aren't going to last." Sylvester responds nervously.
"How long until they call your name?" Walter asks.
"Well Paige is a P and I'm an S... P is pretty far back in the alphabet... about 1,000 people on the boat... 3 minutes tops." Sylvester responds. There is a long silence on the line.
"We found the rockets." Walt says.
"1.58 minutes." Sly replies.
"We won't be able to get the rockets up in time without being caught." Walter says.
"Well then think of something, Mr. 197." Toby says through the tablet.
"36 seconds." Sly says nervously, his voice wavering.
"Cabe empty that can." Walter instructs. I can hear the fluid spilling out of the can. Walter does something with the can, but I'm not sure what because I can't see.
"Paige Francisco?" A man with an incredibly deep voice asks on Paige's line.
"Paige Francisco, I'm not going to ask again." The man says, he shoots the gun at the ceiling.
"That's me." Paige says breathing heavy.
"Why didn't you say that the first time I called your name?"
"I'm just scared because I left my ID in my room." Paige responds quietly, her voice shaking.
"I think I'm being played here, I think somebody has my rockets and I think you know who that is." The man with the deep voice says, his voice confident.
"I really don't." We hear a click over the tablet and jump a little.
"That's a gun." I say biting my lip. I can hear Paige breathing heavily.
"Who are you talking to?" The man asks into the ear piece. Toby, Happy, Ralph and I stay completely quiet.
"Bring me my rockets or the girl dies. " Walter doesn't respond.
"Ok you have three seconds. one... two...three-"
"Please don't I have a son." Paige says cutting him off.
"Well your son isn't going to a have mother in two more seconds. Four... fi-"
"Ok, ok we'll give you your rockets, but you have to put the gun down and meet us out on the deck." Walter says. I exhale a sigh of relief.
"Take he girl." The man with the deep voice says. They walk out of the lobby and to the main deck where Walter and Cabe should be waiting with the rocket.
"Step back or I'll let go." Walter says, I assume he's blading the rockets over the side of the boat, that sounds like something he would do.
"Put the rockets down and we'll give you the girl." I hear Walter gently place the rockets on the ground.
"Now give us Paige." Walt says strictly.
"No I don't think so." The other man replies.
"You said you would let me go." Paige says angrily.
"I lied."
