After a while, Peter walked out of the place with his bag nearly doubled in size. It was almost as high as his waist as he strained to carry it, walking back towards the diner. "Ok, better go mean with Sammi now... got a good haul. Some parts for a remote, something for that security system I've been itching to build, something for the firing mechanism on that cannon I'm toying with...I must say today has gone pretty well. Now comes the issue of getting a better boat and maybe some new crewmen to go with it. I know Sammi is capable. I just wonder what kind of people she'd let on our crew..."

The small group of Marines arrived at the largest house on the island, in the center of the northern section of Jingo. After walking up, the captain shook the hand of the governor.
"Thank you so much for getting here! My dear daughter has been gone for so long... it's so unlike her! Her husband is worried sick!" the governor was a short man, but looked surprisingly thin.
The captain motioned for his men to stand back. "Tell me... is the lady's mother home?" He said, gripping the governor's hand hard enough to draw a bit of blood. "Sorry... don't know my own strength..."
"It's nothing. I don't mind as long as my daughter is returned safely. I'm surprised you're that tough, though... I mean a pale fellow like yourself hardly seems like a captain of the Marines."
"I get that a lot..." he said, then looking more serious. "As I said before, is her mother here?"
The governor looked confused and replied "No she isn't. But I don't see what that has to do with your investigation..."
The captain sighed "Oh it's nothing... it'll just make this a little bit harder than I hoped... but I have enough to go on based on the initial report." he said, walking away.
