I stood up and walked into the kitchen. There Matt and Alfred sat talking.

"Hey Lauran!" Alfred smiled,

"Hey, can I have a snack?" I asked,

"Well sure but you may wanna cool it your self. I don't know how and Francis is on the phone." I shrugged and just got a soda can and a bag of chips. ((This is a modern day pirate ship so bla!)) I sat with Matt and Alfred. Then Francis walked in looking grim.

"Lauran... May I speak with you?" He asked,

"Ok..." I said unsure. I followed him out. "What's up?"

"Well I just got a call from a friend of mine that lives on your island. It's your grandfather..."

"Kino? What's wrong with him?! I-is he sick?!"

"I wish." He mumbled, "last night he had a heart attack and... He died." Shock rammed through my body. I leaned on the wall for support. My Grand Kino. My family other then my father. Gone. Dead. I fell to my knees. My legs so week even the wall could not help. Tears streamed down my cheeks. Francis put his hand on my shoulder. He picked me up knowing I could not walk on my own at the moment. He took me to the captain's room. (I always slept on the floor. Going against Arthur was my TOP priority.) He gently sat me on the bed. I started to hiccup I was crying so hard. He put his hand on my back. "Calm down Bella. Your gonna choke." I laid in his arms and continued to cry for who knows how many hours.
