That night they reached Spittlefield Harbor, Martin remembered from the story his mother had told him about how she met his father after he's done selling the cargo he gave his crew each a share to spend on rum and women and as he bought a bottle of fine Spanish wine from a Spanish merchant he heard a scream that sounded like a girl.

He rushed out and sees a big man grasping the wrist of a sixteen year old raven haired girl with brown eyes and red lips in a black sleeveless dress and the man was about to slap her for screaming until his hand was caught by someone and when he turned his head around.

"One thing you should know." He said with a sly smile. "A gentleman should not strike a lady."

With that he punched him and knocked him in the ground after that the mugger ran like a chicken and Martin walked to the girl and helped her getting up.

"Are you all right?" He asked.

"I am, thank you kind sir how can I ever repay you?." She said.

"Well I can give you a tour on my ship and we could sit down and drink some wine."

"That would be lovely."

"Well then shall we go miss...?" He offered an arm

"Clara." She take the offer but what he didn't notice that she had a sinister smile as she rested her head on his shoulder." And yes let's Mr...?"

"Captain, Captain Martin Shaw at your service miss Clara." He smiled for him it was luck that he got a ship, crew and saved a pretty girl.

They drink after giving her a tour.

"So after I fought them off I freed the prisoners and sailed away." He told her with pride.

"Oh that's very noble of you captain." Clara comment.

"And I planned to find a treasure more precious then gold or jewels." Martin grinned.

"And what is this treasure that you say is more precious then gold or jewels?" She asked.

"Its right here in this ship sitting with me." He answered with a sly smile.

"Oh Captain Shaw." She giggled and blushed. "My God! he's so handsome and I guess it was true about him, come on focus." She thought.

"Anything else I can repay you for your deed?"

"Well how about a kiss? if you would permit me."

To answer his question she stood up and Martin stood up and then wrapped his arms around her and placed his lips on hers.

"Whoa not only he's handsome, he's a good kisser but I got work to do. Now for phase two." She thought.

While they kissed she took a little pouch out of her leg hose and poured some powder in Martin's glass and it dissolved into the wine, after an hour of kissing she couldn't help but feeling horrible since that kiss but that would have to wait as she quickly saw Martin about to drink the drugged wine.

"No!" She knocked the glass out of his hand.

"What's wrong?" He asked worriedly.

"I poured sleeping powder in your wine while we kissed." She confessed. "Since I heard you arrived in town I just needed the money, so I hired a man to pretend to mug me and after that kiss I just couldn't turn you in." Clara finished as she wept tears, Martin touched her chin and she looked at him.

"I'm not mad at you but I am mad at myself, it seems as though my weakness is women but I will help you get the money, cause I have a plan."

Outside of town, Clara was pushing a wheelbarrow where Martin was lying, She stopped and saw four red coated soldiers.

"I have him, Martin Shaw the Fox." She announced.

"There, your bounty." said one of the soldiers giving her a big pouch.

"Thank you." She said as she quickly left.

The two of them were about to hoist him up as one held his foot and one held his arm until both of them were knocked out by Martin who pretended to be unconscious, then two more charged at him.

One of them threw a punch at him but Martin quickly dodged and knocked out the other soldier instead and now Martin returned the favor.

After taking down the four, Martin ran back to town and saw Clara standing by the entrance.

"I thank you Captain Shaw and I will never forget it." She gave a quick kiss on his lips and he returned the kiss.

"I know."

When he returned to the Fox he saw a middle aged man with a brown beard in a coat. "Oh young man I was waiting for the captain do you know when he comes back?"

"I am the captain."

"Arn't you a bit young to be a captain?" Asked the surprised and confused stranger.

Before he could say anything Gale came to them. "Captain meet our new surgeon Dr. Sidney." Gale explained. "You can call me Sid if you like." The new surgeon said.

"Well then Sid allow me introduce myself, Martin Shaw captain of the Sly Fox." Martin introduced proudly.

"Wait a minute Martin Shaw? As in Martin Shaw The Fox?" Martin nodded at his question. "Well it would be an honor to sail with you."

"Glad to hear it Gale show him to the surgeon room and I'll be in my cabin for this is an unexpected night for me." Martin went to his cabin.

Martin gave the crew an order to make sail after they got the supplies. Martin noticed a fox shaped figurehead on his ship but he did'nt mind it but What they didn't know is that they had been followed.

In the distance was a mighty ship with black sails and it's figurehead was a ferocious dog then stood by the railing was a tall man in a frock with thin dark hair and short dark stuble and had a look like he was the devil himself in human form.

He looked through a spyglass and when he spotted the Fox he grinned. "I will be getting you Martin and I will like to see your mother to grovel down as she watch me killing you." Then came a ninteen year old boy who had the resemblance of the man. "have we found him father?." He asked.

"We have." He answered. "Tell the helmsman to follow that ship but keep a distance."
