Lewis here, as though you did not know! As I stand before you all and see your eyes boring into me, wondering why I have taken the floor...Well I can explain. Miss, Potter, you left your lights on. *sits down* Oh all right! That wasn't my announcement! *Stands up* The fact is, I have taken Hemlock off, it was at risk...well never mind, I am just not going to be posting it any more.
Instead I now will grace you with another of my wonderful pieces of writing...okay okay, so it ain't wonderful, give me a break :D. Anyways, this is from my famed Marshall books, well they should be famed, the Marshalls are worth it! Anyways, this is from the thrid book, the one that I have changed the plot line too about three, four times. Please let me know what you think, you won't believe the trouble I have getting people to read this book and I really need feed back so I know what to change. So PLEASE let me know, even if you don't like it, or think I should change something. Thank you, *Sits down and folds hands*

Chapter One...Kidnapped!
Early April Late 1900s
A cool salt breeze blew over the small yacht and thin fog whipped past. Waves lapped at the yacht's sides in a soothing sound. The dark figure surfaced by the bow of the ship and waited a minute before climbing aboard.
Once on board the man, dressed all in black, noiselessly crept toward six scuba tanks that where resting against the yacht’s starboard side. To get to the tanks the man would have to walk right past the gang way, the only problem with that was that he knew one of the ships occupants was a very light sleeper. One noise and he was done for.
The lapping water seemed ten times louder in the still night air; also his heart was hammering so hard he was certain the lapping or his heart pounding would wake the occupants up at any moment. Forcing himself to breathe he took a step forward, and then another. Halfway to the tanks he heard a creak that, to him, sounded like a cannon going off.
He was about to make a dive over the yacht’s side, however when he did not hear anything else he continued to the tanks. It seemed to take him years to reach them, and when he did he felt as though he had aged ten years.
Kneeling down the man removed his long knife from its sheath, it flashed in the moon light and he hoped no one saw it. When he found the tank he had been looking for he began to cut through the hose. Not deep enough for anyone to notice but deep enough to accomplish his propose.
Once he was done he sheathed his knife and quietly slipped over the yacht’s side. Now all he had to do was wait for morning, then he could accomplish the second part of his plan, that is if the first part worked.
