Chapter 4: Where is Iris?
The Trio go up early the next morning and met at the library. They tried hard to work on the task at hand but it was not the same without Iris. T decided to investigate the book that Iris was looking at when she disappeared. He thought that maybe it would yield a clue to her whereabouts. Nothing.
"Arrrrrrg!" He grunted. "This is so frustrating! Iris has been missing for over 12 hours and we have yet to unearth a clue. I stopped by her house to see if she had returned since last night but Mr. Handan said her bed had not been slept in."
"I agree, T. This is frustrating. We have to keep our heads though, if we lose them we will definitely not find her." Salali tried to console T.
Since T could not find anything in the book Becca decided to try. Becca turned to the page titled 'Time Travel.' She thought this was interesting seeing as this was a book all about the Titanic. There had to be a connection between this page and her disappearance. Suddenly, it clicked. This was the page that the book was open to when they noticed Iris was gone. As she cried out she felt herself fading away.
~=+=~
Iris turned as she heard a scream come from the road. Her eyes widened. It was Becca! She rushed over to her just in the nick of time, a cart was rolling down the hill at an alarming speed. Iris pushed Becca out of they way. They were safe.
"Becca!"Iris was breathless. "How did you get here?!?"
"Same way you got here... I think."
"OK.So how did I get here?"
"Ummm...I don't know exactly. I was looking at the same book you were looking at and I started to disappear. The last thing I noticed was that the page I was on. It was about time travel."
"That is weird. I was on the same page when I vanished. It was strange considering it was time travel in a Titanic book."
"So,where are we?"
"You'll never believe this. We are in Dublin, Ireland just a few days away from it maiden voyage!"
"Cool.Are were going to talk to Ismay and Andrews?"
"Not yet. We'll wait a little longer to see if the others come through."
~=+=~
T and Salali heard her cry out, but when they turned around she had vanished! They were even more frantic now that both Iris and Becca had evaporated into thin air! T sat down in a corner and started to cry. He felt like his life was falling apart. His parents and Iris' parents had been blaming him for her disappearance and now Becca...
~=+=~
Becca had been watching for the rest of the group for a while now and was starting to get worried that they would not be able to join them on the adventure. Iris tried to console her but suddenly....
"Becca! Iris!"
They turned their heads. Running toward them were Salali and T! The group was finally reunited. There were joyous hellos all around. In the excitement T kissed Iris. She started burning bright red but managed to get everyone to calm down.
"OK.Before you ask us where we are let me tell you. We are in Dublin,Ireland, 1912 just 2 days away from the maiden voyage of the Titanic!"
"Yeah,"Becca chimed in. "We need to speak with Mr. Thomas Andrews and J.Bruce Ismay to convince them that they have to add more lifeboats on the ship!"
