Hop skip and a jump

After disposing of the bodies, Heim was working furiously to dig up the inflatables , and Ben was looking for the rest of the supplies, Franz was sleeping, Ben was walking by Franz with a bucket of can goods and decided to drop it on Franzs crotch Heim heard a ooofffff and I'm going to kill you you you little bastard.

Ben ran off laughing, and Franz said he dropped that on me Heim looked at him and told him to shut up and get to work.

Ben had eventually come back to the campsite and gave Franz a big toothy grin.

Franz shot a look of daggers in his eyes, well if your lazy I'm going to hurt you, Franz looked at the ground trying not to make eye contact, Franz knew Heim could kill him in a flash, he dared not make him mad.

One of the inflatables still had all of its air and the other one looked like it lost a little bit, so the one that was low on air was going to hold the supplies and they will be in the other one.

Ben had searched the boats that the pirates had used and they were too damaged to go into the water but Ben had grabbed some of the oars that the pirates used now they won't be going in circles.

They were leaving the island as the tide was going out , so it sorta pulled them along it was easy for them to leave, as the approached the boat Ben was looking to see if anybody else was on board, no movement could be seen, so they approached the boat as with every foot they got closer the boat looked more and more crappier,

what a total crapfest Ben said.

Tying the inflatables to the boat they climbed a ladder to the deck Heim was first with an oar as a weapon, then it was Franz and last was Ben, as Franz started to climb Ben would grab his foot and try to knock him off the ladder, stop it now is not the time to play around.

Heim went below deck and came out thirty seconds later holding his nose, don't go down there, what why Franz asked, because twelve guys living in a small confined place, it smells like foot and ass . You should go down there Franz you might like it, Ben suggested.

Again Franz gave him the eye.

And Ben immediately shut up.

According to a map that these guys had it look's like we are fifty miles from Korea, I hope your right Heim Franz said, because we don't have sails , then we have an engine Heim told Franz now go get that engine going Heim said.

Franz ripped a piece of his shirt off and tied it to his face then went below deck. The engine started and Heim pointed the boat to Korea,

Heim has a friend in Korea and he owes him a big favor Heim smiled to himself this is working out great for me.

It took that tub a week to get to Korea with the engine breaking down and it took three days to tear it apart and rebuild it the proper way the pirates had plenty of spare parts just no knowledge on how to install them, after the break down and rebuild that engine was humming after that, who knew Franz was so mechanically inclined.

As they approached the coast a city could be seen, the harbor was packed and the boat traffic was slow , Finally they were able to dock, Heim told them to wait there and Franz and Ben did twenty minutes later Heim got on the boat with another person and started to go over the boat,

the man took about six steps down below deck and came back up and started to yell at Heim

Heim started to yell at the man and a couple minutes of yelling they shook hands.

What just happened Ben thought, Heim looked happy and almost had a spring in his step,

in his pocket he just got enough money to pay for first class train tickets for all of them.

After a visit with Shi he will have even more,

they walked for about two hours before Heim turned down a street that looked like it had been lost in time all old style stick and bamboo homes until they had arrived at a more western modern home, Shi was tending his front yard and had his back turned to Heim as he approached, heavy footsteps my friend, Shi said Heim looked at him and said I wanted you to hear me, Shi got up and gave Heim a hug, it's been too long.

I would love to catch up Shi but I am trying to fix that problem that we discussed a year ago, Shi looked around Heim and looked at Ben, then they started to talk in Korean, Shi went inside and came back out and shook Heims hand then Heim stuffed the money in his pocket with his other hand. And it was a quick good bye and they were off again. The walk this time only took an hour back into the city and then to the train yard , but before the train yard they went to a gentleman's clothing store and Heim bought Ben and Franz some "basic or should I say cheap clothes "and got himself a nice looking suit, they had been in the same clothes for god knows how long. It felt good to have some new clothes.

And now off to the train station, nothing unusual happened to them on the way , just a beggar or two at the train station he told Franz and Ben to wait outside while he got the tickets for the train.

Heim came out of the train station he had a big smile on his face and said we are in luck, the train usually only runs to Austria once per every two weeks, but the train had to get something fixed so they were running behind and we were lucky enough to get tickets for tomorrow, let's go find a hotel.

The hotel was not as far as the guy at the train station said. It was six stories high and the were at the top, the view was ok if you like looking at rice patties, they ordered room service and then went to bed.

In the middle of the night Ben was wondering if he should run away but something told him to stick it out it would be worth it.

Ben had a dream of him self hugging his mother but he had black hair not blonde.

Weird Ben thought in his dream, what the hell is up with the bear, I never dream of bears.
