"Okay, boys. Since we're out here on this island, we're going to go around and see what could be useful to bring along back out to sea," Captain Modi told the boys, who were still waking up on the floor of a larger cave close to their ship. "Each of my crew members will take at least one of you around the island to get as much work done as we can." Each of Captain Modi's crew members came into the cave to select who they would be bringing along for their search.
"You promise that you won't try to kill me while we're alone?" Caden questioned as Kevin tied his hands together with the rope he was holding.
"As long as you don't try to escape or attack me, you'll be fine," Kevin replied.
"Does everyone have a captive?" Captain Modi asked his crewmates.
"Aye, aye, Captain Modi!" the crew members responded.
"Alright, mates! Choose your direction and go on your way!"
"There's the ship of Captain Modi, only twenty feet away from us," Jasper said as he looked behind a bush at the vast ship of the mighty pirate captain.
"What are we going to do now?" Annie whispered, not wanting to be seen by Captain Modi or any of his crewmates who could have been around.
"We'll try to get on the Air Mando to see if any of my friends are being held captive on the ship," Jasper explained. The two of them did a quick spot check and then made their way onto the ship.
"I can't believe I'm actually doing this," Annie said, mildly lost for words.
"I know. This will be a great story to tell my grandchildren one day," Jasper responded before they went below deck, where the captives of the chip would most likely be. "Caden? Charles? Robert?" he called out, hoping to find his former crewmates and get out safely.
Unfortunately, after searching the entire ship below deck and finding no one, Jasper and Annie figured that Captain Modi's crew and captives were on the island.
"Let's get off this ship and get back to the island and try to find Meg. She could be in great danger!" Annie recommended.
"I agree," Jasper declared as they went onto the upper deck of the ship once again to find a surprise they did not want.
