Tintin and Anne

Chapter 8

Tintin helped Anne walk around the ever moving ship. In front of them was the already drunk Capitain.

'How did he not fall off the ship already?' Anne thought. Then she remembered then he was locked away in his cabin but stil. 

When Haddock opened the door, he saw that there was a goon looking for them. Tintin dragged him back and grabbed the bottle from the Capitain. As he opened the door and was about to hit the man with the bottle, Haddock grabbed the bottle back and Tintin ended up hitting the man on the back of his head. Anne couldn't do anything to stop it as she was trying to keep her balance due to the ship was movving and she had a twisted ankle. As Haddock walked awawy wothout helping her, she took a chance and tried to walk. However she lost her balance and Tintin having to notice this cuaght her by the waist  just in time.

They kept on going , advoiding the men who were looking for them, hoping for that prize that they were promised if they found them. Luckily, they made it to the boats and as they were getting one ready to go,Tintin noticed that there were men going into a room. 

" It's Allen," Haddock said. 

"Is that the bridge?" Anne asked, breaking her silence after awhile. Tintin looked at her and sawa little bit of fear and disgust in her eyes after seeing Allen.  Tintin quickly figures out that it was Allen who had hit her. And knowing her, she had possibly had spit in his face cuasing the bruise that was forming on her cheek. He cupped her face on the side that wasn't bruised and smiled. 

"Aye, on the other side of the radio room,"Haddock said. 

Tintin turned to Haddock who was on the other side of him. 

"Radio Room?" Tintin asked.

Haddock nodded. Tintin suddenly had an idea. 

"Both of you, wait here, sound the alarm if anyone comes" he said. 

As he walked away, Anne grabbed his hand."Tintin, you better come back," she said, looking at him stright in the eye. Hazel eyes meeting Blue.

" I promise, Anne," he said. She kissed his cheek and went back to the boat that they were going to escape on. 

"Carefull, Tintin," Haddock said as the reporter ran off.

Haddock looked at the young girl and saw the worried expression she had on her face. 

"Don't worry dearee, your boyfriend will come back," he said. 

Anne blushed and said," Tintin is not my boyfriend." 

Haddock looked at the girl and said, " I couldn't tell. Don't be nervous"

"I'm not nevous!"

Anne was nervous. Of course, he had done this before but no matter what this always made him nevous. Suddenly a drunkin salior , whom was sleeping in the boat, woke up and saw Haddock and Anne. He pointed his gun at them and shouted. Haddock, in fright, let go of the rope and the boat fell, with the salior's foot cuaght in the rope. 

"And let that be a lesson to you,"Haddock yelled at him.

The salior yelled for help. Anne did feel sorry for him but she knew that they need to keep going. As Haddock and Anne were getting the life boat ready, they were cuaght. 

Suddenly, Haddock had lifted Anne onto the boat and started to push the boat over. Somehow in the heat of the chaos, Haddock and Snowy were in the boat however one side of the boat was down and the other wasn't cuasing them to hang there. Anne hung for her life as Tintin jumped onto the ship out of now where, grabbing Anne the waist, and shot the rope with the gun in his other hand. 

Anne screamed as they fell. When the boat hit the water, Tintin fell ontop of Anne and she pushed him off of her.

Tintin got off of Anne and hurried to the oars which some how was able to stay on the boat. 

The salior from before was still yelling as his crew mates were shooting at them. All four on the boat ducked their heads as they were slowly getting away from the large ship. 

When they were far enough away, as the men rowed, Allen shot a flare and this cuase all of them to duck. Anne was next to Tintin as Haddock took Snowy away from Tintin as they sensed that the ship was getting closer. Anne grabbed Tintin's hand as Tintin pulled her closer to him. 

They were waiting for the ship.
