Story by the literary GENIUS: Frode
Not many people could say they lived in their own personal paradise. But then again, he was not most people.
The salty sea air ruffled the palm trees, sunlight glinting off the waters below. A few seagulls whirled above his head, cackling every now and again. Kokomo checked his pocketwatch, then stowing it away in the back-left pocket of his nicely-fitted tan pants. His fingers drummed an unsung beat on his tattooed arms as he waited. Any minute now...
"Captain"!
He couldn't help but grin. Right on schedule, as always.
"Ah, Samantha. We ready to go?"
The first mate's head bobbing in agreement, her bright red hair at odds with the wind. It did quite suit her, especially in contrast to her burning green eyes.
Time for that later. Now, there was treasure to be found, and perhaps another piece to the puzzle."Is Ross ready to go?"
She nodded, indicating the docks with a casual wave.
"He's on the ship, prepping her for the trip. You know how he is with those engines."
Kokomo chuckled as he followed Sam down to the docks, where his pride and joy, the C. Maria, sat awaiting passengers. Ross did indeed have a strange relationship with the engines of the boat, and it would seem that he got into arguments with the machinery on a daily basis. Other than that, he was fairly quiet, and let his fists do the talking if anything brash needed to be said. Samantha on the other hand...
Running a set of fingers through his blond hair, heavily bleached thanks to the sun, Kokomo fired up a few of the systems as he took his place at the helm, calling out to Ross as he did so.
"Ross, how does it look?"
At the stern of the medium-length yacht, the burly engineer waved back, wrench in hand.
"I won the battle, but she'll win the war Captain. We're good for this trip, but we'll need another replacement piston soon."
Darn. Not another one. Then again, after their run-in with the pirates, and running for a day straight full throttle...something had to give.
"Very well. Lets go make some money now shall we?"
Kokomo's eyebrows narrowed as he guided the snow-white yacht through the shoals surrounding the island. All three of them on board knew the route to open waters, but it was a hair-raising experience every time. Many explorers and intruders alike had run aground on the reefs surrounding his island, and the sea wasn't as forgiving as he was.
Which, considering his nature, was saying something.
Only once they were in open water did he let his mind wander. Today would either be a very good, or....mediocre. It couldn't be bad, especially after the museum met his price on those pirate doubloons. Ordinarily, he'd have kept such treasures for himself, but he already had far too many of those simple gold coins.
He let his gaze wander to Samantha, who was busy tying up some loose rigging. Part tomboy, part ordinary woman, and definitely more than half tiger when she was angry. All in all, the most amazing woman he had ever met. Perhaps someday he'd pursue things-no, not perhaps. He would. Commitment was in fair competition with his love of the sea and treasures, but perhaps they could be combined.....
Kokomo was jolted out of his stupor by Ross, who tossed up and caught a wrench as he spoke."So Capt', you want me to suit up this time?"
He nodded, not missing the quick glance tossed to Sam. Poor Ross, at times he pitted the man. Samantha never had feelings more than a friendship, but Ross.....
Good heavens. He must have eaten something bad.
Kokomo shook himself out of the stupor again, now actually annoyed with himself. Moments of introspection were fine and dandy, but not when they had a job to do!
It was another hour or two before they reached the site, a short trip all in all. Who would have guessed that the final piece to the puzzle was right under their nose?
As they reached the site, Ross jumped in, fully suited with a rebreather. A full scuba suit and tank wasn't necessary, a rebreather would suffice. It didn't offer as much air, but it was a new bit of equipment, and Ross had been itching to try it.
Now for the fun part.
Kokomo ducked under into the cabin area, retrieving what looked to appear to be a large wooden game board. It was about an inch and a half thick, and made of a dark knurled wood on the outside. The top was covered by an aged map, pockmarked with holes in the shape of strange symbols overlaying the ancient map of the world. A few of the spaces were already filled with silver items. A swirling wave from a wrecked Spanish corsair, a thimble from a royal treasury ship, and many others. And the final piece....
Breaking the water's surface with a roar, Ross's wide grin told Kokomo all he needed. After heaving himself on board, the engineer handed Kokomo a bag, nodding once. Fishing out the small item from the diving bag, Kokomo couldn't help but let a familiar roguish grin slide onto his features.
The golden albatross, from a lost Chinese junk.
He gently placed the bird-shaped trinket on the map's corresponding empty hole....and pressed. There was a click, and the whirring of internal mechanisms springing to life, causing all three to take a step back. The map came to life- the various silver medallions and objects rising to stand vertical on the map. They then began to move, the albatross pointing towards only one of them. The final clue.
"We found it"....
Ross's words summed up the feeling on deck rather well.
"Yes. Yes we have. We'll need a larger ship, and a bigger crew. This is the final lap, the final set of clues...then we can move on to locating-
Kokomo stopped, his head swiveling towards a distant sound- as did Ross's. Looks like we have company."
Samantha nodded, reaching over to a deck locker and withdrawing a rifle. Looks like three ships, fast intercept craft...of course, pirates. Lets prepare the reception.
Ross let out a chuckling bellow as he caught the pistol Kokomo tossed to him, taking his place near the stern.
"Let's see if you can push Maria a bit harder Ross. Sam! Full speed ahead!"
Samantha nodded at the Captain's order, shoving the throttle to full. As they rocketed off across the waves, Kokomo slid a magazine into his pistol, a wide grin on his features. Salt, speed, and treasure. Did it get any better than that?
A shot from one of the ships answered his question, to which he simply shrugged to himself and ducked into the wheelhouse briefly. As a window shattered, he couldn't keep the smile from growing even wider as he took aim at the pirates. Reception time.
Gentlemen never let their guests wait for long.
