It’s Saturday and it’s the day we set out to our journey. Currently, I am double checking that the new agents have all their stuff.
“Jacket?”I asked.
“Check,” chorused the other agents.
“Gloves?”
“Check.”
“Hand wa -,”but interrupted by Chelsie,”Check, can we please continue?”
“Yea, whatever. Berk isn’t the warmest tropical island in the world,”I noted.
“We know. I wish Melana didn’t have to go to her grandma’s funeral.”
“well, it is her grandma . . .,”Peter added.
“So what? If she were here, we wouldn’t be listening to Elysie’s constant babbling.”
I just rolled my eyes.
“So, what’s our transportation?”Allan asked.
“We are going to fly to Scotland and take a small boat to Berk,”I said.
The boys nodded.
“So . . . we ready?”I asked.
“Ready,”the entire team said.
-----------------------------------
“Does this boat have any food?”Allan complained, looking everywhere to find a good piece of food.
“No, because it is a old rusty fisherman’s boat that no one used since the 50’s,”Peter replied.
“Perfect.”
I looked over the map of Berk, trying to locate the possible base. Calvin had planted a security base in the middle of Berk peak to monitor all activity on the island. How we are going to find it and get there is a whole other story.
“So, any background you can give us about our destination?”Peter asked.
“So . . . I have to be true right now on why we are actually here, right?”I mumbled.
I heard Peter gulp and fidget a little.
He knows something.
“So, there is a family who takes care of this island. They are called the Haddocks and there is only a father and two kids. We don’t know what happened to the mother but we are assuming that she is dead. They have recently no been in touch with their organization for three days and has raised alarm.”
“What organization?” Allan asked.
I hesitated for a little until I said,”the Starcatchers.”
Peter took a harsh intake of breathe and starting coughing. Like this entire subject is harsh on Peter.
Dad is right. Something is up with this kid.
“Our job is to find the family and secure their security.”
“Seems pretty easy to me,”Chelsie said.
“So, Asia and Paul are missing? Man, I love those kids,”Allan said.
“Only because Paul believed everything you said,”Peter added.
“Because he knows who’s boss, unlike you.”
“Yea, like you ever will be a boss at anything.”
While Peter and Allan bickered about each other, I just couldn’t help but pray that they will stay safe until we get there.
Somehow I know that this island will be infested with Others and there may be a leader that I am not looking forward to seeing.
After an hour, the peak of Berk could be seen from our location and strangely, the waves quieted.
The cold set in.
We’re here.
