Countdown to Halloween
After daylight came and after a short rest, the gang gathered at the entrance to the lighthouse where they were greeted by two specialists. The Admiral introduced them to Captain Estubing. “When I learned of your predicament, I called two people I trust to help you. Here is Detective Sam Shoegum, the best private investigator in these parts. And here is Scuba Specialist Ursula Diver, who finished first in her class while she served in the Navy.”
Captain Estubing responded with a sigh of relief, but realized that time was of the essence. “What can you do to help me find that missing container?”
Sam Shoegum responded, “Judging from what the Admiral told us about your encounter last night, we have deduced that pirate ghosts have struck again here in Grimsmouth Cove. We’ve dealt with them before and we have a plan that may work.”
“Yes,” Ursula chimed in. “With your permission and cooperation, we need to know what was in that other container. We’ll also need to carefully inventory what is in this container.”
“Once we’ve accomplished that, then we can develop our plan to recover that missing container.” Sam said with an air of confidence.
“I hope you guys are right. Afterall, Halloween is coming, and I need to get these things to town in time for the party.” Captain Estubing said, but he felt inside that things would get tense.
