“Okay. Noah, you’re to stay in the new HQ. I am going to rest, Marie, although, will still be on Lifeguard duty. Noah, I want everyone to be rested in the morning, we’ll make our move this afternoon.”
“Yes, Captain.” He replied. The walkie talkie went on hold. Marie turned around to leave.
“Aren’t I going to get to go on some patrols?”
“Well, what if you were caught? You could tell them where our jail is at. There are only four of us that know where this is.”
“Oh.” She said. She left and went back to the chair.
Lunch time came, and Noah called to awake me. “Rikker to Picard. Rikker to Picard.”
“Picard here. Noah, will you cut it out with this Star Trek gag.”
“No, it’s fun. Captain, all people are up and awake.”
“Any word from Tracy?”
“No, but we gave her the smallest walkie talkie we had. She said that she would check in when she could. The computer says that she is still free.”
“Okay, here’s where we make our move. The only way we’re gonna find their flag is to capture Dan. He’s the only one who knows where it is.”
“But Adam, he’s probably the most guarded.”
“I’ve got a plan. Signal Tracy to meet me on the edge of the pond. We’ll let her capture me. In five hours they’ll think that I have become on their team. They’ll ask me where the flag is, and we’ll be ready for them.”
“Right on. Where are we going to pretend the flag is?”
“You know that island in the middle of the pond?”
“Yeah.”
“I’ll tell him it’s on an island, and he’ll think it’s that one.”
“Oh. That’s too good!”
“I’m coming topside. Get everyone to the pond in the next five hours. I’m going there now.” I left the cabin, said good-bye to Marie, gave her the walkie talkie, and headed for the pond. Like clockwork, Tracy arrived and took me ‘prisoner.’
“I’ve got him back.” Tracy stated to Dan.
“Great, now we can get that flag info from him in five hours. Tracy, since you did such a good job catching him, I want you and Karin to guard him. One on each side. We don’t want him to get away.” Tracy brought me to their jail, and sat next to it. Every hour, on the hour, she would hold my hand for five minutes, which legally made me not captured, almost if I had escaped.
Noah moved all our people into position on the pond, and made traps in the five hours. After five hours, Dan brought me a green uniform. “It’s going to be great, having you on our team. You know, I think this game is almost over.”
“Yes sir.” I said, putting on the green clothes. I exited the jail, holding Tracy’s hand.
“Adam, where is the location of the brown’s flag?”
“It’s on an island.”
