Hide the papers in hopes of having leverage over Captain Whitlock
From Create Your Own Story
You quickly try to think of a suitable place to hide all of the important papers and settle on hiding them behind the framed picture on the wall. It wasn’t the best hiding place, but it would do in a pinch. And you didn’t hide them a moment too soon, for just then, Captain Whitlock bursts into the study.
“Now, how am I going to find my treasure Miss Beech?” he asks you.
“My father wrote down where he hid it,” you begin.
“Then tell me where it is!” Captain Whitlock demands.
“I can’t tell you, I don’t understand it myself. But I will let you look at my father’s papers when you take me back to land.”
“Boys! Search the study. She’s hidden the treasure map in here,” he says, calling in his men. They tear the study apart, but thankfully don’t look behind the picture. “You’re cleverer than I gave you credit for Miss Beech,” Captain Whitlock says once the search is over. “We’ll take you to land, and then you’ll give me the map?” You nod in agreement.
A few days later, you look out the window in the morning and you can see land! You don’t recognize it, but you must be close to the city. Captain Whitlock barges in and demands to know where the map is. You give it to him, and you are finally allowed on deck. Once there, you realize that you aren’t close to the city at all! Why, you’re at the Pirate port Tortuga! Captain Whitlock forces you off The Rising Sun and into the port.
