The Hunt for The Pirates
Singapore International School, Wu, Chun-Yin Justin - 10, Fiction: Group 2
he howling wind swept his pitch-black coat side to side as the ruthless pirate, Blackbeard,
struggled to control the massive pirate bounty as the ship went up and down on the surface of the
kingfisher-blue sea, his blood-red captain’s hat bobbing up and down. Blackbeard’s gold-
encrusted boots stroke the unstable wooden boards on the ship as he shrieked to his crewmates to take
control of the nearly sinking ship. A shriek so loud that it would turn you deaf the instant you heard it.
After a week of voyaging in the vast, dangerous Atlantic Ocean, Blackbeard and his crew of outcasts
finally set shore on Guangzhou.
“ Remember and focus on the target, everybody! We are here to steal the loot in Baiyun Airport! They
use it as extra money for transportation, so everyone here will be frantic when they know this so you have
to be careful! Do you hear me?” shouted Blackbeard.
“Yes...master...”the pirate crew cowered in fear.
In the Baiyun Airport, suddenly, there was a loud bang as fuse bombs were being thrown everywhere
by Blackbeard and his band of outlaws, demolishing everything standing in its way, tossing nearby people off
their feet like a rag doll. There was only one guard left. The toughest one. The meanest one. The aggressive
one. Max. He took to his heels, slamming and bumping into outlaws like he didn’t care as he dived, for
Ghastly, Blackbeard’s infamous henchman, who always followed Blackbeard’s orders. Always. No matter
what. As Max charged towards Ghastly, the two strong men fought each other, both as good as each other.
Finding out that this battle would not go his way, Max secretly put a miniscule tracker onto Ghastly’s leg
and set him free. Blackbeard seized the opportunity to go to the basement for the loot. Blackbeard stealthily
took the money from the basement and then hightailed away along with Ghastly, leaving the others as
distraction and were eventually taken into custody by the reinforcement troops.
“Breaking news! Breaking news! It is said that Blackbeard has stolen the extra money and Baiyun
Airport is under repair.Who shall stand up against him to save the world?…” said the reporter on TV.
“ I must do something about it!” Simon the detective said heroically.
“ And I will assist you on this highly dangerous mission!” Nick, Simon’s sidekick said proudly.
After a 10 hour ride by private jet, Simon and Nick finally arrived at the Guangzhou military base, where
they had a conference with Max.
“ Since I put a tracker on Ghastly, we could just use the computer to find out where they are now,” Max
said calmly.
A few minutes later, Max responded and said, “They are at Guangzhou Pier right now. My logical guess
is that Blackbeard’s next stop would be Macau, where he would rob all the major banks so he would be
crossing Pearl River Delta to get there. I’m sorry that I cannot accompany you as I have to guard the airport
from other possible attacks.”
