The story begins after the tragedy with Morgan and her rapture. So we will be at the 'La Iguana' where we meet 'El Antillano'.
By the way, the guy in the picture with JJ is the man portraying Frank Donovan. The name is Fernando Colunga, the original character in the show.
CHAPTER 1:
The carriage stopped on the beach/island, Jackson growled at the sight of a familiar shop. "I told you it's the damn Antillano's ship."
Hotch was leaning against the hut's rail sweet talking one of the women when he spotted Jackson and his crew. Slowly and with his hand resting on his sword he approached them.
"I never thought Gabriel would have sent El Antillano." Jackson jumped off his horse.
Hotch smirked. "Probably wet yourself from fear no?"
Theo sighed. "You know how those things go Aaron. We were drunk and Jack cheated."
Hotch glared at them. "Jack never cheated. You two were losing and decided to kill him." Neither men tried denying it, Hotch scoffed. "They in there?" He gestured towards the carriage.
"Yes." Jackson replied.
"We will take them at dawn." Hotch said walking away, only to be stopped by Jackson.
"Hey! You haven't told us how much you are will pay for them. We have a couple of good looking females and two young boys."
Hotch took a step towards them. "When the captain is ready to discuss the trade with you, I will let you know."
A couple of feet away a man dressed in all black facing the open ocean. He loved it, but he never liked what sailing out meant. With a deep sigh he walked back to his hut, only to see Hotch talking with Jackson and Theo It took his entire will not kill them there. With clenched jaws, he stormed into the hut. Hotch walked in as he looked thru a small opening. Jackson and his crew had begun unloading the humans from the carriage.
Frank scoffed. "I had no idea we were dealing with these two."
Hotch chuckled. "They didn't know we were doing the trade either. They are sacred…oh and they want to know how much-"
"The same as always." Frank cut him off.
"They said there are two beautiful women and two young boys."
Scoffing Frank shook his head. "Two boys."
"Well, you know that sells as well." Hotch took a seat on the captain's bed. "If you want I'll handle the trade." Frank jerked his thumb over his shoulder. For all those that have been under the captain's command, knew what every little gesture meant. In this case get out. Hotch pulled Derek out and met up with Peter.
"Captain in a bad mood?" Peter asked.
Hotch slapped his shoulder. "What do you care? Tell Jackson I'll be out in a while." Peter nodded, as Hotch walked back into the hut.
Frank snapped his fingers to get Hotch's attention, then pointed towards Jackson. JJ was just pulled out of the carriage. Frank watched her, her dress was ripped and she was a mess, but he couldn't help and admit she was beautiful.
Peter walked with Derek. "Captain is a strange man, why is he in the fraternity if he hates it so much?"
Derek pushed his arm off. "Why do you care?" Peter laughed, just before smacking him on the face and leaving. Derek winced, gaining his wits he threw a towel at him.
Frank stood by his desk eating a fruit, while Hotch sat on his desk playing with Frank's pen, only to break it. Glancing up at the captain he smiled small at the shake of the head he got.
"If we leave with the tide, in three days we are in the Mariana." Hotch said.
"I know." Frank sighed tossing the fruit and broken pen, he sat on the bed. "I don't like the fact that Jackson had brought two young boys. Their future is ten times worse than the females. At least the women know what their future holds."
Hotch rolled his eyes. "After so many years, you should be used to our business."
"First off this is not my business, but Gabriel's. For Christ sakes Aaron, it's not the same fighting face to face with armed men like us…then trafficking with live humans." Frank looked down at his hands, thinking of all the blood he had on them.
Hotch was used to this speech. "Then you should have told Gabriel no and we would be off sailing."
Frank shrugged. "Gabriel is the boss and you can't always tell him no. Besides, it's been a while since I have been in Mariana."
Hotch sighed. "well then, I am going to go talk with Jackson." Giving frank a small pat on the shoulders he walked out.
Frank closed his eyes, begging for forgiveness as to what he was about to do once more. This was not the life he wanted, but it was the one he got and all because of a betrayal and lie.
WITH JJ:
"If we tell them who we are and that our cousin will pay the ransom. For sure they will let us go." Michael told Kate. Michael was Reid's younger brother.
"Kate says no." Reid replied.
Kate sighed. "Tell me about your cousin."
"He is an important man and he will not allow this kind of offense." Michael growled.
"Alright let's say you do tell them you are related with this duke. These bastards ask for a ransom; your cousin accepts to pay. In the moment of the exchange, he brings…5o soldiers and kills them all." Kate said.
"That is what they deserve." Michael said.
"And you think Jackson and his crew are stupid enough to not think of that?" Kate asked.
Reid placed a hand on his brother's should. "Kate's right Michael."
Michael glanced at JJ, who just shrugged. "Then what is going to happen to us? Are we going to become slaves? Work from sun to sun under the whip of a rancher?"
Just then the door to the holding crate opened. Jackson, his men and another man walked in. "look, here they are. The woman, youngsters, all strong. The brats aren't bad looking either. Get on your feet." Jackson ordered.
JJ was quick to do as order, she didn't want to give them any reason to lash out. The new man with them walked around, giving everyone a once over. Stopping with Michael he frowned. "This small one doesn't look too good."
"How the do you want him to look, when he's been bleeding from the head all the ride over here. They didn't even give us water to clean the wound out!" JJ tried to stop Kate, but it was too late. Theo slapped her across the face.
Hotch wanted to stop him, beat the crap out of him, but he didn't have the freedom to show his emotions. Not like the captain did. Instead, he turned the blind eye. "Alright, 63 for the men and 42 for the woman."
"No, no you trying to rip me off!? Look!" Jackson grabbed JJ, forcing her to look at Hotch. "Is she not beautiful?" JJ fought to get him off, but it just leads to getting slap as well. Grabbing her again he looked towards Hotch. "She isn't missing anything and she is a feisty one. Right Theo?"
Theo laughed. "Ay, it took some work to submit her." Hotch clenched his jaw, it wasn't uncommon for the woman to come un-touch.
"I want to talk with the one in charge." Michael demanded. "We are not slaves or workers. We are lords and our family will be able to pay more than what you can imagine."
Jackson was about to hit him, when Hotch stopped him. "Calm yourself down, keep mistreating them and I will pay you less." Jackson pulled his hand away. "Untie them and let them out for some air. They won't get much of that on the ship." Glancing towards Kate once more he left.
They were taking out of the hut a few minutes later. JJ and Kate sat together eating some fruit they were given. Reid and Michael were a few feet away. The feeling of the sand and sun felt great on her skin, but the sight of Jackson talking with the man from before and another one caught her attention.
The one that caught her attention the most was the biggest one, he was dressed in all black. His hair was long and a bandana wrapped around his head. His arms were crossed across his chest, making his muscles show themselves. He was handsome she will admit that much.
"Who might that be?" JJ asked Kate.
Kate turned. "I'm guessing he is the captain of the ship."
"The one that is going to take us to the island?"
"I guess." Kate leaned against her. "He's handsome. If one of the two becomes his lover maybe-"
"No Kate." JJ stopped her before she could finish the sentence. "I don't want to be the lover of anybody. I just want to go home, with my family, with Morgan. I don't even know if he's alive or dead. We were going to get married." Kate felt bad for her, in the short time they have known each other. JJ had become a good friend. "I miss him. I miss him a lot." Kate pulled her into a hug, not noticing the eyes of a certain captain on them.
Frank turned his attention back to Jackson, apparently, the boy's cousin paid Jackson to take the boys. "He paid us well and we weren't going to reject the deal."
"And the boys know it?" Frank asked.
Jackson shook his head. "Of course not."
Frank sighed, placing a hand on Hotch's shoulder. "Bring them."
Hotch nodded but, Jackson stopped them. "You are going to tell the?"
"Yes." Frank gave Hotch the gesture to go ahead.
"Look Antillano, they are my prisoners and until you have bought them. You have no right to do anything." Jackson growled. He sometimes forgets who he is dealing with.
Frank didn't get a chance to respond as one of the females, began running around hysterically trying to find a way out. As she ran towards the ocean, Theo shot her in the back. Frank growled walking towards him as Hotch hit him in the back.
"Have you lost your mind!" Frank yelled.
"She was going to escape." Theo replied.
Frank just got madder. "How?! Tell me how?!"
Theo glared at the man. "You are no one to reclaim anything to me. I know you hate me for killing your brother, but he was a cheating bastard."
Frank stiffed at the reminder of his brother. "You shouldn't have brought that up." The boys, Kate and JJ all moved away knowing something was going to happen.
"Well, I did. That way we can bury this once and for all." Theo smirked.
Frank sighed. "And how are we going to bury this?"
"With this." Theo took an axe from one of his buddies. "Or what you prefer the sword?"
Frank discreetly pulled out his knife, keeping it behind his leg. "You know I handle both very well."
"Let's see." Swinging the axe Theo missed him.
Frank came up to his side, stabbing him in the neck. The force used was enough to push the whole knife in. Theo went down quickly, pulling his knife out frank cleaned it off. JJ watched him shocked by the coldness in which he killed the man. How can a man be so ruthless, yes Theo might have had It coming, but it didn't mean she enjoyed watching it. Grabbing the axe, he placed it in front of the other's giving them the chance to revenge his death.
Jackson took a step back, he wasn't stupid. Everyone knew El Antillano was one of the best fighters and swordsmen in the fraternity. Going up against him was digging your own grave. Kate had run towards the woman, hoping she might still be alive. Of course, that hope was useless.
Frank walked back to his hut, re-ordering Hotch to grab the boys and take them to his hut.
Michael and Reid were standing in front of the captain, while Jackson explained their situation. "The duke paid good money to make them disappear."
"It's not true." Michael was having a hard time believing it.
"You." Frank spoke to Reid. The boy had been quiet the whole time. "What do you say?"
Reid nodded. "James is our cousin, much older than us. A year after my mother became a widow, he married her."
Jackson sighed at the look he got from the captain. Okay, so he hadn't said everything he knew. "Yes, that is true. Of course, it didn't benefit him to have pups, that once older they would reclaim their father's fortune." Frank 'tsk' as he thought what to do with them. "And as powerful as you might be Antillano, I will not allow you to return them home. My head is on the line."
Frank glared at him, turning to look at the boy than to Hotch. "True. Aaron take them back with the others. Everyone out."
Hotch took the saddened boys back to the hut. He knew how much it sucked, but there was nothing that could be done. Once night time came Hotch had the woman on the island take food to the prisoners, he added a bit more fruit on JJ and Kate's plate.
"So your cousin paid to have you gone?" JJ asked.
Reid was laying against her. "It's what they said."
"You believe them?" JJ asked. It was hard for her to believe it herself.
Reid sat up with a small shake of the head. "I don't know, maybe."
"Well, I don't." Michael said. "For sure it's just a lie from that damn pirate."
"Greed and power always drives the man to do the most perverted things." Kate added.
Michael weakly sat up. "My mother wouldn't have allowed it."
Kate smiled. "I'm sure he didn't tell her, maybe she too thinks you two were kidnapped."
JJ leaned closer to Kate. "The man the one they called Antillano, must be terrible. You see the way he killed that man without even blinking."
Kate gave her a look. "He did good, the bastard killed Jessica and avenged you as well. He was the one that took advantage of you."
JJ nodded slowly, she was a virgin when he took her. "I'm sorry about Jessica,"
Kate smiled softly. "I'm not, she is free and we still have a long way to go."
JJ closed her eyes, knowing it was true. Whatever was coming their way, would be ten times worse than before. Her mind drifted off to Morgan, wondering how if he was alive or dead. If he knew she was gone and looking for her.
The next morning Jackson and his men came in pulling them out of the hut. In a straight line, they were put in small row boats that would take them to the ship. As they were loaded into the lower cabin, JJ locked eyes with the man in charge. Something besides hate ran thru her, making her feel uneasy.
BACK IN SAN FRANCISO, DIANA'S HOME:
Morgan slowly opened his eyes with a groan. Looking around he found himself in his room. As he tried to sit up, he mumbled in pain. The door to his room opened, as his mother walked in with towels, water, and food. Her head down so not yet seeing her son was awake.
"Mother." Morgan whispered he was tired.
Diana gasped, the tears of joy already spilling out. "Oh thank you, lord. Your back sweetheart. You opened your eyes before, but it's the first time you talk." Dropping everything she sat by his side taking his hand in hers. "Thank you, thank you!"
Morgan frowned. "I can't move my body."
Diana sniffed. "you're still too weak."
"How long have I been like this?" Morgan asked.
"More than one-week love."
"That long?"
Diana looked down for a moment. "Do you remember what happened?"
Morgan thought for a moment, his face showing his hatred. "Yes, wh-where is JJ? How is she?" Diana looked up at him slowly, she didn't know how to tell him. "She okay?"
Seeing the way, he began to panic, Diana made a split decision. "Yes, yes she is fine. Don Jason didn't mistreat her." Morgan scoffed. "What happened son is that she is not in san Fernando."
"Where is she?"
"She decided to go to a church." Diana answered.
Morgan groaned in pain as he tried to move. "God. I can't move." Looking at his mom he asked. "Church? Where?"
"In Monte Carlos to ask for your health." Diana responded. "You were really bad son, we thought you were going to die."
Morgan smiled. "I'm not dead mother, I want someone to go for her. for her to return. I want to see her."
Diana smiled nervously. "Yes, of course, son, but first you need to eat." Grabbing the napkin, she placed it over his chest. "So you can regain your strength."
"I know." Morgan mumbled. "I want to see JJ. I need her, how is she? What has she told you?"
Diana played with his food. "Well for her it was very hard."
"I swear on my life I will kill him mother, one day I will kill him for what he did to her." Morgan swore. "I swear Jason Gideon will pay for he did."
