Truth: A Collection of Short Stories

Finding Captain America-FF

This short story can also be found in Hidden Files. After I wrote this in 7th grade I remembered that Captain America woke up in a hospital lol. So let's just pretend they took his memory of the events in Canada okay? Okay.

One day, two archaeologists were searching for something to do. They were Mark and Sara Simpson. They had been married for two years now.

"Mark, look at this." Sara showed him the website she was on. It was something about Captain America. "It says, 'Captain America was in an airship loaded with bombs from an unknown evil agency and he crash- landed in Canada to stop the bombs from killing millions of people.' Maybe we could find the lost ship!"

"Are you sure we can do it?" Mark said with surprise from his wife's strange idea.

"Of course! Look, they gave grid coordinates for the location!" she scrolled down on the computer to reveal the picture.

"It looks like Captain America landed in the Canadian Shield. In Manitoba."

Sara wanted to go, and was ready, minus packing. "We could fly to Winnipeg, then drive the rest of the way there."

"And the cost?" Mark raised his eyebrow.

"It won't be much compared to the money we'll get if we find it."

Mark gave in. So Sara booked them seats on the next flight to Winnipeg from their area, which was in three days.

Meanwhile, Charlie Rogers bought his ticket to Winnipeg from his home in Turkey. He always asked his mom why they lived in Turkey, and not in the USA with all the happy people. But she'd always say, "Because your daddy was born here," and she would shed a tear.

Charlie always thought is was because his dad died when he went to North America. But now he knew why.

Charlie was the grandson of the great Captain America. His mother was always upset because Captain America died in Canada, and that's where Charlie's dad died, too. Looking for his dad.

Captain America's real name was Steve Rogers. And Charlie was determined to be the one to find him.

The Simpson couple boarded their plane. Charlie had boarded his 10 hours earlier, and was destined to land at the same time as the archeologists.

"This'll be exciting, when we find Captain America and the ship! People will never forget us!" Sara exclaimed, once she and Mark were on the plane.

As the two planes landed, the Simpsons went out to eat at a restaurant in the airport.

Charlie was heading for the same one.

The Simpsons ordered their meal, and sat down at a table. As Charlie ordered, the man working the cash register asked him what he was planning to do in Canada.

"I'm searching for Captain America and the lost ship," he said.

That caught Mark and Sara's ears. They walked over to him.

"Are you really?" Mark said.

"Yes," replied Charlie.

"That's cool. We are too." But Charlie wanted to find his grandpa himself.

"Congrats, because I was planning on going alone." Charlie walked away, angry.

"You look too young to have a license." Sara said.

Charlie turned. "I know that."

"We could drive you, since we are going that way, too."

Charlie did need a ride, and they were going that same way. "Fine, but when we get there, I'm going solo."
