Jo stood out in front of the captain's cabin. She shifted her tray to her left hand and lifted her right to knock on the dark wooden door. Her knocks echoing across the empty deck.
"Jo? Is that you? "Dean's muffled voice seeped through the cracks of the door
"Yeah. Open up. I have the meat pie."
After a couple seconds the door flew open revealing the disheveled captain. Dean gestured to his desk, "Can you put the pie here?"
Jo nodded and stepped into Dean's cabin. It was rather small, not a lot of room to work. That's why Dean's bed was small, wooded, and pushed to the corner of the room. His desk was in the center of the room and was littered with maps and empty bottles of various types of alcohol. Jo was almost positive the locked drawers of the desk were filled to the brim with treasure from their multiple pillaging adventures. The walls were packed with weapons, surrounding a portrait of Dean's father; John Winchester, that proudly stood out as the main attraction. John Winchester had been the captain of the ship before Dean. John was dead now however, killed by the Spanish navy by order of their previous king; Azazel. He was a cruel king who ruled with an iron fist and watched over his country and seas with his beady yellow eyes. A year or so after John's execution Dean murdered the king. It was just another reason the Spanish were constantly after the Winchesters.
"Well? What are you waiting for? "Dean asked raising an eyebrow. Jo shook her head slightly to bring her back to reality,
"Sorry Captain. I guess I got lost in my thoughts."
She put down the pie and wiped her hands on her apron. Dean took a slice of pie and began to devour it. "Just cause I'm your boss doesn't mean you have to call me Captain. You can call me Dean."
Jo laughed and rolled her eyes, "I think I'll pass Winchester."
Dean shrugged, "It was worth a try"
He picked up a bottle of rum and tried to take a sip, but only a drip came from the bottle. He sighed and looked at the bottle in regret, "Why is the rum always gone?"
Jo glanced over her shoulder and lowered her voice, "Um… Captain?"
Dean put the bottle down "Yeah?"
Jo fiddled with her dress in a nervous manner, "Mom would probably not want me asking you this, but what are you going to do about the prisoner?"
Dean straightened up slightly "Why do you want to know?"
He asked in a cold tone. Jo shrugged, "Well we are part of a crew, Dean. I think we all have a right to know what your plans are."
Dean hesitated then bit his lip slightly "…Okay fine… Only for you Jo."
He gestured to a seat in front of his desk. Jo sat down obediently and anxiously waited for his reply. Dean sat down at his own desk and lifted his boots up to rest on the desk. "I tried talking to him today. The son of a bitch soldier isn't breaking from lack of food or dehydration. So in a couple days I'll talk to him again. See if he's changed his mind."
Jo raised her eyebrow, "Three more days? But won't he die from dehydration?"
Dean shook his head. "If he had no water, then there would be a possibility, but I think he has at least a sip of water in his canteen left…"
Jo bit her lip, "Dean is it really worth the risk? And what about food? I mean without food or water won't he last a week if he's lucky?"
Dean sat up,"Jo I don't think that's any of your business."
Jo sat up in turn, "I beg to differ captain. Crew, remember?"
Dean sighed and ran his hand through his hair, "Yeah. I know. You mentioned that before."
Jo rolled her eyes "But seriously. You're starving him. It's inhumane!"
Dean chuckled, "We're pirates. Not English men. And starving him is my plan; method has everything to do with it. Either way I'm not giving him any food."
Jo sighed and stood up, wiping her hands on her apron, "Well Mom will be wondering where I am. I'd better go."
Dean nodded in agreement, "You're right. See you later"
Jo nodded and walked out of the cabin. Once she was sure she was out of ear shot she muttered to herself "No way am I gonna let that idiot captain kill off the only lead he has."
