I woke up the next morning happily, it was my birthday today. I had also nearly forgotten it with all the events in the past few days. I got up and headed straight to the bridge, Mom was already there, how early does she get up? I walked up to her quietly.
"Boo!" I screamed
"Fontaine!" She scolded although she looked like she was hiding something. I was quite good to know when people try to hide something especially Mom and Dad. She didn't mention anything about my birthday though. I gave her a look but she looked very confused. It seemed as she had also forgotten that I had disappeared for a while yesterday which was a big relief. Dad and Ant entered the room, they too had completely forgotten my birthday too.
"Hi Fontaine!" Ant said happily heading to Mom. Dad didn't really say anything and just sat down in his seat. I headed to my seat feeling a bit upset. I looked back and forth at them expecting something but that something never came. Ant was too busy do something with his fish and Dad was looking at some old map again. Mom too was clearly ignoring me. I put on my headphones on and listened to music falling asleep in the process. As I woke up I looked around. The bridge was empty.
"Mom? Dad?Ant?" I say looking around. I start to panic.
"If this is a prank Ant, come out now!" I say looking into the rooms along the corridor, the Aronax was completely deserted.
"Mom?" I say over my comm. All I hear is static, I head to the moon pool room. The moon pool was open and the rover was gone.
I go to the bridge to check the security footage. As I opened the files up I saw the footage from a few days back. It showed Finn on board the Aronax and then going into my room. I smile as I see him sneaking out of my room. Luckily Mom and Dad hadn't seen it otherwise Finn would have been in so much trouble. I check the footage from this morning, it was erased? Thoughts began to fill my head, just then I realised a note on the control panel.
It read...
We are just gone to check on the coral reef, will be back soon.
Mom
Part of me believed it but the coral reef was miles away and surely it would of been quicker to take the Aronax and plus why was the security footage from this morning erased. I head to my brothers room and search his room for something. I opened a drawer and found exactly what I was looking for, Ant's diary. Ant usually write everything down into his diary, but it was locked with a password. What would Ant put as his password, Jeffery! came to my mind first. I entered the letters in and the a green light flashed. He really needed to think of a better password. I opened the book. I couldn't help myself so I read it first from page 1. I was amused by what he wrote about Madeline, he was clearly obsessed. I then came across what he wrote yesterday night.
It read.
Tomorrow we are going to base to...
Before I couldn't finish reading the sentence, Jeffery, Ant's fish splashed water all I've this diary making the ink smudge.
"Jeffery!" I said annoyed. The fish gave me a disapproving look, how can a fish make a face. I put the now wet diary on top of the bed. Well now at least I know where they are going, base. Base was quite near from here just a couple of miles which would make more sense than the coral reef which was miles away.
