Sanford Secrets: Treasure at Dolphin Bay

Getting Some International Help

As soon as they got to Uncle Billy's, Robby called Mike Lam and told them what they found out while Stan and Irene filled Uncle Billy in. Harry hovered near the phone in case Robby needed him to verify his account.

Mike Lam let out a soft whistle when Robby finished telling him about the pirate, as Harry's suggestion was sticking. "You only saw him yesterday and now the MacAllisters saw him right around when your hose got harpooned? This guy just got bumped up in our suspects list. I think you and your friends have done enough right now. I'd rather you lay low until we catch this guy. I think that harpoon to your hose was a warning, and I'd suggest you heed it."

"I plan to," said Robby, "I would like to go to Sanford this year. College seems like a breeze compared to this."

Mike chuckled. "That sounds like a good idea. Thanks for all you've done. Now, go enjoy Nai'a Bay for real."

"Thanks Chief, I will."

"Good, I'll let your grandpa know of any developments, if you're interested in knowing how things are going."

"Thanks, I'll keep that in mind."

"Alright, you take care."

"You too, good luck with the investigation."

"Thanks, we might need it. Stay safe, kid."

"I will. Bye!"

"So, we can be real tourists now?" asked Harry when Robby hung up the phone.

Robby chuckled. "At least where it concerns this investigation. Mom and Dad might have things for us to do around the lab."

Harry shrugged. "That's better than getting harpooned by an unknown enemy that you have no idea what you did to put yourself on his radar."

Robby sighed. "I think I know, I must not have been as inconspicuous as I thought."

Harry huffed. "Guess so, you saw him and he saw you. But the fact that he went out of his way to warn you like that . . . yeah, he's up to something and didn't want you to see." His eyes widened. "Do you think he knows the MacAllisters saw him?"

"I don't know, but I think they can handle themselves pretty well."

"But, still . . ."

"Well, I'm sure they'll be careful. I'm sure they realized they were in trouble from the fact that I saw this guy just last night, and this morning he's shooting a harpoon at me. Definitely not someone to mess around with. I just hope the police can deal with him."

"Well, if worse comes to worse, we can always call in Mr. Lilliberulo," said harry.

Robby grinned. "Who knows, we might have to." He pursed his lips. "But I know Mom and Dad wouldn't want the station to be left unattended for too long."

"Then he's our last resort," said Harry with a shrug. "Besides, when he comes in, everything's over in a matter of minutes."

Robby chuckled. "That is true." His face turned serious. "But I do think we should tell him about it. Maybe he might know or can find the information the police need."

"But didn't Chief Lam say for us to get off the investigation?"

"Grandpa can give him the information, and Dad can be the one to check it out," said Robby with a shrug. "I just want to make sure we have all our bases covered. And Mr. Lilliberulo might be able to help the police find the information they need."

"Well, let's get going on that," said Harry with a sigh. "I do want to get to the waves eventually."

Robby patted his back. "Don't worry, you will, we've got all summer. But we should hurry either way." The two rejoined Irene, Stan, and Billy.
