Stealth Traders

As Mohamed and Ahmed rose from their bunks they were excited about their first day of trading as they had just received their gofast boat licence the day before. Being poor they couldn't afford much so their boat wasn't the biggest but it could store enough supplies for a decent amount of money. As they approached the harbor, the boys could just see the baron mountain tips of Iraq. The sun started to rise above the peaks while they started packing the boat with the supplies. They headed for Iraq. As they got further out in the Strait of Humas they could see more go fasts coming. Once they entered the port the air smelled of fresh fish and fuel from the boats. They moared the boat and filled the truck, as Akmed was driving Mohamed hitched on the back making sure nothing fell off. The engine stopped as they parked out side the markets. As they were unpacking 2 cats ran past to an old fishing Dow with a man in wearing jeans and a black jacket smoking a cigar.

Two hours had past since they got to the markets, they had sold every thing and were ready to go. As they were leaving to get back to their boat the man in black approached them with a sneaky look about him. The man was an arms trader who was wanted in  three different countries one of them including Oman. The man started to talk to Mohamed, "take the weapons!"he pleaded as he pulled a pocket knife from his pants. Ahmed and Mohamed had no choose but to obey the man. They piled the boxes of different sorts of guns and hand grenades in the overcrowded boat. The engine started and they were of before another 1000 boats sped out of the docks into the middle of the ocean. They had just entered international waters of Oman the engine started making funny noises and suddenly their engine blew they were stuck in the Strait of Humas.


The boys had no option but to call the arms trader and tell them the bad news he, started screaming at them through the radio in Arabic. The boys heard the horn of a ship they turned around, could this day keep on getting worse, apparently it could. In the disappearing sun light they could see an Musidan Navy patrol ship with its one of its RHIB off loading heading right for them"yala"screamed Ahmed at the dead engine. Now all they could do was wait to be arrested, finally the RHIB came to the boat and  was searched and the boys were apprehended. They boarded the ship and the diesel fumes filled their nostrils. Finally, the navy ship reached Oman. The two boys suffered were arrested and were sentenced to one hundred whips. The arms trader  was caught the next day and was executed.
