Asset out of containment
[Ben POV]
It's morning.
I am sitting on the couch drawing a picture of Y/N playing chess with Bumpy, using crayons.
Darius bursts into the room. "What up, Camp Cretaceous?! Whoo-hoo!"
"Not in a 'whoo-hoo mood' this morning Darius. Not after yesterday. Trekking through a rainforest will do that." Kenji snaps lazily.
"But today's a new day! Kayak day! Who doesn't want to paddle beside dinosaurs, real dinosaurs?! It's gonna be awesome! Right?
Wait- where are Dave and Roxie?""The babysitters took off early and left this" Kenji slaps a note to Darius' white shirt.
"BRB. Gotta go. Boss talk. BB. Later. Smiley face. Is that a.. dinosaur emoji with a thumbs up?"
"It's Dave speak. Roxie translated on the back."
"We have to go talk to our boss. Stay inside until we return. Draw, bond, whatever. The radio's set for channel six in case you need us. Stay inside, Stay inside. Do not leave. Kenji, I'm looking at you."
Y/N chuckles quietly.
"Sorry for the kids' menus, it's all Dave had."
"Do they understand how old we are? I mean, when was the last time you even saw a crayon?!" Kenji whines.
I show Y/N my work. She gives me a small grin. "Is that... me and Bumpy?"
I laugh awkwardly.
Bam!
The front doors open. Brooklyn storms inside.
"Brooklyn. What's new on the internet, superstar?" Yaz asks sarcastically
"I wouldn't know because I went to get my phone from it's charger and it wasn't there! Someone stole my phone!"
"Brooklyn, who hasn't had your phone?"
We all begin to make excuses to make Brooklyn just give up on the subject
"I needed to check the weather last night..." I begin
"I wanted to check the time..." Y/N trails off quietly.
"Dr. Shatter posted a new column on microfossils yesterday..." Darius trails off.
"...too good to miss the selfie opportunity, but I haven't used it since, I swear!" Kenji raises his arms in innocence
Brooklyn scoffs and glances at Sammy.
"I... haven't seen it either," she says unconvincingly
"Really?" Brooklyn challenges.
"Hey, hey, it's okay! Since we're not kayaking till later, we'll have plenty of time to look for the phone." Darius consoles them cheerfully.
"Oh, I think I know exactly where to look. I also think that whoever took the phone might be trying to hide some things on it."
Brooklyn meaningfully and suspiciously looks at Sammy. "What do you think, Sammy?"
"Um, what?" Sammy frowns nervously.
"What is your deal? Sammy said she didn't take it. Ever think you might have just lost the stupid thing?!" Yasmina snaps angrily.
"Hmm. Well then, let's just check her bags to see if it's in them." Brooklyn suggests irritatedly.
"Woah, woah!!! This is getting too far Brooklyn." Yaz cries. "You do not go through someone else's stuff."
