No One POV:

"-Ease it in! -Put your back into it! -Hold her there, steady!" Shoutings were heard from the sailors on the front of the ship as they were working on something...

"Any sign of him, Jumbo?" A sailor shouted to his friend who was on the top floor of the ship as they kept searching for TinTin, Haddock and whoever was with them.

"Nothing yet." He replied, looking down and not noticing drinking Captain opening the door behind him. Malory and TinTin hurried to pull Captain back in by his jacket as he closed the door after him, "Watch yourself. The Boss says he's a handful."

Captain leaned on the wall next to the door. Malory grabbed the bottle in his hand and with a small 'Here.' she handed it over to TinTin who nodded and opened the door, ready to strike as Captain and Malory followed behind.

"Nonono!" Captain mumbled as he gently shoved Malory to the side and grabbed the end of the bottle, making TinTin lose the grip off it and striking the man with his bare hand but still knocking him out.

TinTin shook his hand in pain as he watched the Captain taking big sips of the bottle. Malory facepalmed and shook her head.

"Come on." Captain signed the kids. Malory took TinTin's palm to check it.

"A little red but I'm sure you'll live." She reassured him, he chuckled as he took his palm from her grasp and they joined the Captain, deep inside considering jokely if they should leave the Captain behind.

TinTin and Captain started to get the lifeboat ready and shoved it to the side of the ocean as Malory looked around to make sure no one comes. She quickly shoved the two men down when she saw the infamous Alan and Tom walking towards a room upstairs.

"It's Alan." Captain informed in some anger as he pointed at his once first mate.

"Is that the bridge?" TinTin asked.

"Aye, on the other side of the radio room." Captain replied.

"Radio room?" TinTin got an idea and lay his hands on Malory shoulders and looked at her, "Malory, stay here with Captain. Sound the alarm if anyone comes."

"Careful, TinTin." Captain called quietly as TinTin followed Alan and Tom and Malory watched him go with concern.

"-I can't see a thing! -Quit your whining and find the kid! -I didn't sign on for this! -He said keep searching! -Oh, what I'll do to that girl when I'll find her!" More shouts came from the sailors who were searching.

TinTin POV:

I clenched my fists in a little anger at the last shout but quickly lay my ear on the door to hear what's going on in the radio room.

"Message just come through, Boss." I heard Tom saying.

"What's it say?" Alan asked.

"'The Milanese Nightingale has landed. Waiting in the wings for action.'" Tom read and I frowned.

"Milanese Nightingale?" I found myself whispering the name, what does she have to do in the story?

"Now pray this cheers him up." Alan said as I peeked carefully through the window in the door to see them leaving through another door.

I entered the room and Snowy jumped on the table and started to fight a rat over pieces of meat.

I went to the radio table and started searching for clues when I came across a small piece of a paper with a morse code message written on it and at the end of the paper was written the word...
