“What strange thing?”
Samuel spun around, and Dick was startled by him.
"The supplies of our ship are rationed, but since we left the Back Sea, the supplies have been reduced, and the ship's medical kits have disappeared. Everyone thought there was a thief, but no one suspicious was found. As you know, this is a freighter, and we have a certain number of sailors on board, but we have less food every day, and at last, we had no choice and went ashore the city nearby to gather some food, and then we came back. Otherwise we wouldnt have survived.”
Hearing this, Samuel's hope lit up again.
"Your food is all rationed?"
"Yes!"
“No one stole it?"
“It can't be! Our sailors are professionally trained, and as they have been at sea for a long time, it is impossible to be unruly. Everyone knows that, at sea, food and fresh water are the basic things that keep us alive, so no one would do that. But since we pass by the Back Sea in the United States, our food and fresh water have been decreasing, and we cant find who ate it. It is really strange. A lot of people said the ship might be haunting.”
As Dick said so, he looked not well.
Sometimes after a long time at sea, many people would believe some legends. No matter whether they were scientific or not, they had to believe them. After all, no one could find a reasonable explanation.
Samuel didn't think so.
The food and water couldn't disappear into thin air, especially that they lost the medical kit.
Medicine kit?
Did someone get hurt?
Could it be Nicole?
“Can I go up and check it?”
"Yes!"
Dick knew that Samuel, the President of Eternal Group, had shipped cargo too, and of course he would not mess up with anything. Besides, the Director of the Port always brought in people himself who wanted to see the cargo. He couldn't stop them.
Samuel and Jacob followed Dick to the freighter.
The freighter was large and wide, and seemed very empty with all its cargo unloaded.
When Samuel got on board, he asked, "Where do you usually rest?"
“We have our own room. All rest in yonder room.”
Dick pointed to the rest room.
Samuel went to check it. It was a dorm room, because all men lived in there, it was messy, and it smelled stinky feet!
He held his nose for a look, then stepped back to make sure Nicole wasn't hiding there.
“Are there any other places where you can hide people?”
