CHAPTER FORTY-SEVEN OF DOOM
"Well, that went well," Caitlyn said.

"That it did," Fred said to her. "And your buddy Rune made it look easy."

"Yep," Rune said. "Another victory for Team Triangle! Yeah!"

"You realize it's not a complete victory," Caitlyn pointed out. "Newt Naga's still out there. He knows where the Dagberts live now. And he still wants the 'Man In Black'. What's to stop him from returning?"

"Good point," Kat said. "But... Fred is the only one that Naga wants. If he weren't here, then Naga would have no reason to return."

Fred got on the defensive. "You want me to leave my family behind?"

"For their safety," Akira said. "And for yours. As long as you're in this building, the building's a target."

"It's okay," Dante said to Fred. "We can handle ourselves. As your family, we'll tell you that you can go and keep yourself safe."

"You protected us when we needed it," Hilde said. "But now we don't need it. We just need you to stay in one piece and this is the best way to do it."

"Wait," Fred said, trying to keep control. "Where would I even go? This has been my only place for years."

"Well, there is one place you can go..." Rune said. "The S. S. Noatak. You want to join Team Triangle? Go around the world?"

"With all due respect, we could use someone like you on the team," Roy added.

Dana said nothing. She was silently calculating her next move while looking at Fred.

"So what do you say?" Caitlyn asked. "You in?"

"Sure," Fred said with a grin. He looked at the other Dagberts and his smile fell. "You've all been great for so long. I still remember when I first met every single one of you... Um... guess it's goodbye for now."

Cindy was the first to lose control and hug Fred with tears pouring from her eyes. Within a couple seconds the other Dagberts - and even a few Ataks - joined in.

The five Team Triangle members went up to Noatak. Fred leaned on the wall in back, Caitlyn put her hands on the wheel, Dana sat down on the inside, Roy rested his arm on the side, and Rune stood in the very center of the deck.

The sails rose to the sky, and Team Triangle took off.
