Too Many Blond Secretaries – Page 12

Back at the hospital, Laura was resting on a bed. She laid asleep with and IV in her arm. The doctor estimated a week before she would fully recover. Kirk picked up the hospital phone and dialed my house, since that is where he was told to contact Noah. Karin picked up the phone and answered, “Hello?”

“This is Kirk, form Alaska. I just wanted to let Noah know that we’ve found Laura and four other secretaries up here. We’ll bring them to Nanopolis as soon as Laura is well enough to travel,” said Kirk.

“How long will that be?”

“Oh, sometime around a week. She’s sleeping right now. Well, I’ve got to go. Bye.”

“Bye,” echoed Karin, hanging up the phone.

“Who was that?” Jessica asked as she and Sara walked to go to the pool.

“That was Kirk. He says that they’ve found Laura and four other girls!”

“Wow,” replied Sara. “Won’t Noah be surprised. When are they coming?”

“As soon as Laura can leave the hospital. I sure hope that he’s okay. Where’s Jocelyn?”

“She’s looking around, trying to locate things in Adam’s book. That last time I saw her, she said that she was headed down to the Gamma Complex to see his room,” responded Sara,

“That girl is really taken with his adventures.”

“She actually believes that there’s a ‘game’ and that Adam saw the future!” Jessica stated. “Well, we’re going swimming, so see you later.

The next day, Connie returned to the island. Knowing that it was unwise, as well as unsafe, to be seen talking to Noah or David directly, she decided to meet Noah at night, in his tent. After all, she would probably run into a sticky situation if she talked to anyone but elite guards. When nightfall came, she snuck into camp and walked over to his tent. Opening the flap, she walked inside and over to the curtained area. Moving it back a little, she walked inside and tapped Noah on the shoulder. When he turned over, she covered his mouth and motioned for him to follow her. They both went out to the beach, where she made her report to him. “The boat will be here in three days,” stated Connie.

“Three days?! That’s a long time!” Noah replied.

“Well, a ship that large has to come back to port, then it will come here.”

“Oh. What do we do until then?”

“I don’t know. I was just supposed to get the boat.”

“I’m sorry. I was just thinking aloud. How many more days do you have?”

“A couple. Not enough to do much.”

“Okay. Well, we’re gonna need some stuff on the main building, these camps, and some bubble gum would be nice.”

“Bubble gum?!”

“Yeah. You know, maybe a roll of duct tape too.”

“Duct tape?! Okay, I hope you know what you’re doing.”

“Just call me Noah ‘MacGyver’ Prescott,” said he, grinning. Connie just rolled her eyes. “Well, if there’s nothing else…”

“I don’t think so. I’m kinda scared.”

“Hey, not to worry. All I want you to do is help people get to the ship. We’ll do the rest.” Noah put his arm around her shoulders and walked her back to his tent. He got inside and Connie walked back to the main building.
