Malory POV:

So after TinTin, Captain and I made the promise to get to Bagghar and stop Sakharine (Right after fixing all what Captain broke during his story), Lieutenant Delcourt kindly gave us the directions to how to get to Bagghar, along with three camles and supplies.

After all of that we ended up making our way to Bagghar all night and by sunrise we were already there.

"Wow..." I breathed out as I stopped my camel next to TinTin's and stared down at Bagghar under the sunrise.

It was breathtaking.

"He's here." TinTin suddenly said and pointed at the port of the city... where one, sadly familier, ship parked.

TinTin POV:

Captain and I made our way through the market. Mumbles and talks in Arab were heard everywhere and in every corner a little stand with sombody selling something stood. Some people weren't even selling behind a stand as I realized when all the time people with plates in their hands kept trying to stop me so they could sell me something.

I kept looking around, trying to find anyone who stood out too much from the market's people because of something like sailor's clothing when Captain put his hand on me.

"It's no good. They could be anywhere." He panted, obviously tired from walking.

I suddenly noticed something and hurried to turn around, Captain following me.

"Captain. Don't look now, but we're being followed." I mumbled as I started to guide us into a much quiet area of the market.

I watched as Captain made a turn as if he's looking around before he whispered to me:

"Yes, we are." And he started poping his knuckles and get ready for a face off.

We made a turn where I knew there was a small stone gate in the path and we hurried to hide in the sides.

The followers went through it and without saying anything, Captain and I put our legs to the sides, making them stumble and fall.

"What do you want? Why are you following us?" I yelled at them, thinking they're Sakharine's men in disguises of Arabs.

Suddenly Captain pushed me to the side and grabbed a hold on their Galabias.

"Who. are you. working for?" He demanded, hitting their heads in the ground with every word and also making their head covers fall.

Revealing...

"Captain, stop! Stop!" I said and grabbed him away as I helped the men up, "Thompson and Thomson."

"Not so loud." Thomson asked.

"We're in disguise." Thompson added.

"So I see. You got the message I sent from the ship?" I asked.

"TinTin!" A familier voice cut the conversation and we all turned to look at Malory, who showed up a little breathless.

"Captain! Detectives?" She asked in a little confused smile as she noticed them.

"Detectives, I believe you remember Malory." I said as I gestured at my friend.

"Ma'am." They both said as they raised their hats, not taking them out of the covers.

"Unusual clothes to wear, Miss Malory." Thomson commented.

"Are you in a disguise as well?" Thompson asked.

Malory smiled awkwardly before turning to look at me.

"So I went to the port and I was able to question one of the crew members; No one has left the ship aside from Sakharine, Alan and Tom." She told me.
