They had found the plane in a secluded cove off of one of the deserted islands, one that was never flown over much. One of the pilot's flying over had noticed it and thought that he had stopped for a vacation and so when she reached Louie's she did not mention it to the worried orangutan and left without knowing that the pilot of that plane had gone missing.
It had all started the day before…
"Hey Ms Cunningham, where's Baloo?" Kit asked walking into Higher for Hire to see the owner staring out the window as if waiting for something.
"I don't know Kit," she said, distractedly.
"You don't know?" Kit asked, worriedly.
"He hasn't been back and there's been no communication from him, he delivered the cargo but hasn't been back."
"Have you tried…"
"Louie hasn't seen him either," Rebecca said before he could ask. Kit walked up to her side and looked out over the water, waiting for his "Papa Bear's" return, thinking about this morning.
"Oh come on Papa Bear, please?" Kit said following Baloo back and forth as the big gray bear loaded the cargo on the large yellow plane.
"No Kit, you have school," Baloo said, picking up another crate and headed towards the plane.
"But I've never been to Koneko Island," Kid said and sat down on one of the crates to watch Baloo. Baloo set the last crate down, his back to Kit and sighed.
"Look Li'l Britches," he said, still not turning around. "Koneko Island isn't any place for a kid." He turned around and grinned at Kit. "Besides Beckers said no." Kit knew this, he had begged and pleaded with Ms. Cunningham until he was blue in the face but she had stood firm, saying that he had missed too much school as it was. Kit sighed and hopped down, shoving his paws into his sweater.
"Look kid, school is out in a month, once it's done, we'll go on a vacation, just me and you."
"Really Papa Bear?" Kit asked, getting excited.
"Really, really," Baloo said and Kit launched himself into his arms.
"Great, well I better go, I'm going to be late for school." Baloo laughed and watched as Kit ran down the street, backpackhitting his back. When Kit had come home, the Sea Duck was not there and Baloo was missing.
Rebecca turned again, went to the radio, and called Louie's.
"Louie, is there someone you could ask to go look around the islands for him?... Right, let me know what they find." She said switching off. "Louie is going to send a few pilots to search the area for him," she explained to Kit. An hour later, they received a call from Louie and Kit watched as Rebecca turned pale.
"Sure Louie… Thank you, if you could have someone… Thank you again," she said putting the mike down but didn't say anything.
"Ms Cunningham?" Kit asked wearily.
"They found the Sea Duck," she said. Kit was about to open his mouth when she looked at him. "Baloo wasn't with it; they said it looks like he hasn't been in there in a while." Kit stared at her stunned and turned back to the window.
