PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK.

CHAPTER 3

Spencer and his brother were sold for 8,000. Spencer screamed for Peter and fought to get away, but the guards grabbed them before he could get to the pirate. Peter smirked as he walked away with the money in his hands. In his mind no one would find out and the captain would think he paid for them. Besides it's not like that were going to be seen again. Or so he thought.

Frank and Hotch were walking back from talking with his godfather, when he came to a decision.

"Let's go to the auction. I'm going to buy the women." Frank told Hotch.

Hotch was surprised, but not by a lot. "Oh yeah?"

Frank nodded. "I can leave them as servant's for my mother and on the next sail we can drop them off somewhere, they can return home."

Hotch just shrugged, if the captain bought the blond one he would never have the guts to just let her go.

JJ was the last of the group, the man threated to beat her if she didn't behave. So she allowed him to show her off. It made her feel so low, like a piece of meat on the market.

"Look gentleman and ladies! This is a beauty! Just look at her!" He bragged. "Look at her! Who wouldn't want to see this face every day! And look at her hair! If you wash it, it would live and glow, like the mane of an Arabian mare!" Knocking her on the ground he showed off her legs. "Look at these mare legs, good for working!" JJ couldn't do anything, but cry. There was no escape from this hell.

Tony and his boss Rick Donovan stopped by the auction. Rick was an older man already in the ends of his life. Tony was his servant, bought in the auction as well when just a boy. Apparently he was interested for the blond on the stage, for he handed Tony a bag of money and told him to buy her.

"4,000." Tony yelled.

All eye's turned towards him, the man slobbering at the money. "4,000! Anyone pay more!" No one wanted to pay more. "Sold to the gentleman in the back!" Tony handed him the money as the guards took her down. He felt bad for her, she seemed like a well-educated woman. Most likely taken from her home and thrown into this. With a blank face he dragged her towards his boss.

Frank and Hotch arrived a few seconds later. Hotch was both upset and glad they were late, glad for the captain wouldn't have that load of watching over someone else. Upset because he didn't know what became of her friend. He just hopes a good owner got them both.

"We're late." Hotch stated.

Frank glanced at him. "Maybe it was for the best."

"I can ask who bought them?" Hotch offered.

"No!" Frank replied, too quickly. "It's best if I don't know." Giving the place one more scan he walked away. Hotch followed with a drawn out sigh.

WITH JJ:

JJ walked behind the old man into a big house. Tony was behind her.

"What is your name woman?" The man asked.

JJ hesitated for a bit. "Jenifer jearue."

"What?"

"JJ." She said.

"Speak louder that I can't hear you." He growled.

"Jenifer!" She practically yelled.

"Jenifer." He repeated. "Very good Jenifer, we are almost home. This is where your new life will begin."

WITH FRANK:

Frank was explaining to his mother that regardless of the island belonging to Spain, pirates were not being pardon.

"But I thought now that we belonged to Spain-"

"I'm sorry mother, but my situation is still the same." Frank repeated for what seemed like the fifth time.

His mother scoffed. "So your godfather is not going help you?"

Frank groaned. "He will do what he can mother."

"I see so little of you and I feel so lonely Frank." She chaste him.

Taking her hands in his, he smiled. "I promise I will return as soon as I can."

"Of course within a one, three, five years." She sarcastically replied.

"Mother I didn't chose this life, you know that."

She did, but she was one of the few woman's that couldn't hold her tongue back. "If you wouldn't have rolled around with the woman, that appeared dead."

"Dead yes, but not by my hand right?" Frank snapped, this was every damn time he was leaving. First she would remind him of his past. Then…

"Right. I'm sorry sweetheart, it's just I miss you so much." Came the apology.

"I miss you too mother." Frank wiped her tears away. As he stood to leave she stopped.

"No don't leave please." Pulling him into a hug. "Please don't go."

Frank just kissed her on the cheek and walked out. It just got worse every time, knowing that, that might be the last time he sees her. Walking into the next room, he found Monica sitting in one of the chair. "Monica." Helping her up, she walked with him.

"When will this all end Frank?" Monica asked.

Frank hummed with a chuckle. "Maybe once England and Spain sign the treaty."

"They have been in war for years already." She added.

"I want to ask you, to keep visiting my mother please. I know it's hard with her mood swings, but-"

Monica shook her head, tears already in full mode. "She has suffered a lot. First with the early death of your father. Then what happened to you and the loss of your money!" Monica sobbed. "Then there is the constant worry of not knowing how and where you are. If your alive or dead."

Hugging her gently he sighed. "I know and I blame myself for that."

Placing her hands on his chest she shook her head. "No, no you are not the one to blame for anything."

"I must get going." Leaving her crying in the courtyard, he pulled his hood up and left. He had already spent too much time on land.

WITH JJ:

"Come closer young lady." Rick said. "What crime did you commit to be sold as a slave?"

"None sir, I swear." JJ responded.

Rick smirked. "They all say that. Did you steal? Murder? Are you a whore?"

JJ shook her head. "No none of that I promise you. I was taken from my home." JJ felt so exposed standing in front of him. He was older, much older than her. JJ was only 23 and he seemed in his 70's. He was lean with long gray hair. His face was wrinkled and had a bad attitude. Although at the moment JJ was not at her best, her hair was dirty and tangled. She was dirty and her dress was torn.

"Where is home?" Rick asked, although showed no really interest in the answer.

"A small town called San Fernando, in the new Spain. My father is miller. I have a brother and sister, a boyfriend we were going to get married but-"

"And this?" A woman asked.

Tony stood beside JJ, he was going to stop her from talking seeing as Rick had already fallen asleep. "Mr. Donovan bought her at the auction today ma'am."

"If you are a whore, you won't do much for my brother." The lady said.

JJ kept her head down, showing some respect. "I am not a whore!"

Rick woke up with a startle. "What? What?"

"Rick, I don't see why you bought this…woman. We don't need more servant's in the house." She said.

Rick just smiled. "Have them shower her, brush her and dress her in the dress my former wife used on the day king Augustin de Mendoza visited the town." Rick payed not attention to the crazy look his sister was giving him. He had plans for this girl and he will see them thru.

Monica was stopped by her aunt at the entrance of the house. "You have no idea what your father just did."

"What?"

"He just bought a servant that we don't need. He ordered to have her showered and fixed, then to have her put on one of your mother's dress." Blake made the cross, at the mention of her dead sister in law.

Monica frowned. "My mother's? Why?"

"I don't know, but-" Looking at the door she noticed Tony. "Come on your father's dogs are watching us." Grabbing her hand, she guided her into the house.

WITH FRANK:

Walking thru the streets, Frank was met with Hotch.

"Did you see your mother?" Hotch asked.

"yes."

Giving him a small nod he patted him on the shoulder. "Ahh, I was going to tell you The Salamandra is damaged and the last fix on the lower deck is not going to last very long."

Frank sighed. "It doesn't matter, we can still sail and arrive in Jamaica. I want to know Gabriel's plans."

"Hotch. Hotch!" Peter called, a little surprise to see Frank with him. "Captain, everything went well. I payed 5,800 for both boys!" Hotch made a gesture for him to lower his voice at the looks they got from a couple of guards. "Then I had the luck of finding a merchandiser that was heading north, I gave him money to take them."

"Good." Frank praised.

"By the way, they are very grateful with you captain." Peter smirked.

"What happened with the woman?" Frank asked, he couldn't help himself. "The one with blond hair, last in line."

Peter frowned. "I don't know, cause when we left they hadn't yet offered her." Frank sighed, giving him a nod he began walking away. "Hey captain."

"What?"

"Is there enough time to enjoy the company of a good woman? I deserve it don't I?" Peter asked.

Hotch shook his head as Frank clenched his jaw. "Make it fast," Slapping Hotch on the arm they left.

"Thank you."

WITH JJ:

JJ took a seat on the sofa, rick was in the chair across from her and tony handed them each a cup of tea.

"So you can read and write." Rick stated, it was rare to find a woman as young and beautiful as her and even much rarer educated. Many father only teach that to their sons.

"Yes, I would help my father with the family store. I handled the sales and accounts." JJ responded.

Rick shrugged. "Even with education, you are still what you are." JJ glared at him. "I imagine you are not a virgin."

JJ shook her head slowly. "The men that took me, abused of me."

"Mm-hmm are you pregnant?" Rick asked.

JJ gasped. She hadn't thought of that and for her sake she really hoped she wasn't. "Why do you ask?"

Rick chuckled. "Well because I am interested in knowing."

"I-I don't know."

"I married three times, all my sons died at birth. My last wife only gave me a female and to make things worse she was born blind."

Just then Blake and Monica walked into the room.

"Afternoon father." Monica greeted.

"Well, your back." He didn't even spare her a glance. "I imagine you were with you aunt."

Monica jumped at the sudden raise of voice. "Yes."

"A blind woman and a bitter woman make a good pair." Rick said. JJ frowned at the way he was treating his daughter.

"Bitter from her disgrace." Monica replied.

"Well, if she hadn't married the disgrace of my brother and had raised her son better. She would be a lot happier."

Monica clenched her jaw. It infuriated her when spoken badly about frank. "You know my cousin is innocent father."

"Well, this is…" He gestured towards JJ. "What did you say your name was?"

JJ was wordless for a moment. "Jennifer sir."

"Jennifer, Jennifer." He repeated, as if trying to engrave it into his mind.

From that day on JJ's life would change. She was to become Rick's wife something that made her sick to her stomach, but at least she wouldn't be a slave. Monica and Blake could care less, it didn't affect them in any way, but that didn't mean they weren't curious as to why. That same day she wrote a card for her family which she tried have tony send to her family, but he refused for it was against the rules. Rick appeared taking the letter from tony and reading it out loud. Having taking her into the room he chuckled.

"The fact that I have ordered them to dress you like a queen and you are to become my wife, does not give you the freedom of giving orders." Walking closer to her he growled. "Do something like this again and I will have them lock you in the warehouse."

JJ kept her head down, holding back her anger. "yes sir."

WITH MORGAN:

Morgan groaned and whimpered as he moved to sit on the edge of the bed. It was painful, but the more he did it, the less it hurt. A knock on the door was heard. "Come in."

JJ's sister Emily walked in. "Morgan!" Emily smiled. "You were able to sit up!"

Morgan hummed. "I don't plan on staying in this bed. God had given me a strong body and my legs will work like before. I assure you."

Emily smiled happily. "I'm so glad to hear you speak like that. What happened was a disgrace, but life goes on." Morgan sighed. "You are young, strong and have the right to-"

"Please I must speak with Jake." Morgan said.

It wasn't long before Jake was in the room. He was surprised to hear Morgan asking to have a wheel chair built for him.

"A wheel chair?" Jake repeated.

"Yes, I want the twins to build it for me. Instead of four legs have them put two wheels so I can move around. Go out in the street, see my mother, and take care of my business." Morgan explained.

Jake chuckled. "That's a wonderful idea. We can even head to the bar and have a few drinks."

Morgan scoffed, he was alright sometimes. "Jake, you are my friend. Talk to me with sincerity." Jake nodded. "You really think JJ fell into the river and drowned?"

Jake swallowed hard, he hated keeping this lie, but it was for the best. "Well, Morgan that…that's what it appears."

"Couldn't it be that Jason has her locked up somewhere, for his own use?" Morgan growled.

Jake shook his head. "No, no. everyone would know, besides I understand Mrs. Erin has been keeping an eyes on him." Morgan sighed, laying his head back. "My sister disappeared Morgan."

Morgan frowned. "Disappeared or drowned?"

"I-I say disappear because we didn't find her body." Jake choked as he held back the tears. "We will never know."

"Damn you Jason Gideon. Damn you and all those of your class." Morgan damned. "I need to be sure that JJ is really…otherwise I will never accept it."

Jake leaned back in his chair, Morgan had made up his mind and nothing will stop him.

WITH JASON:

Jason Gideon, lord of san Francisco sat in one of his office's chairs. He was playing with his knife, one that was hidden within his stick. At that moment Matt Cruz walked in. his best friend and business partner.

"I know about the carriage heist." Jason said.

Matt huffed. "They said it was 10 heavily armed men. They killed a couple of men, took the silver and mules."

Jason shrugged. "Well it's not the first time and it won't be last either."

"It's a good business."

Walking over to his desk Jason agreed. "Yes, a good business that will take them to the hanger."

Matt innocently strolled towards him. "If they are smart, they won't get caught."

Jason chuckled without humor. "You wouldn't be proposing we take over the business right?"

"And why not?" Matt asked. "Plus who would suspect from the lord of san Francisco."

Jason was tempted, it would be a good business, but there is always a chance. "No."

"Look, within your personal guard there are loyal and honest men. We chose the best ones, I can convince Sam and hank. They have a good last name, but no money." Matt persuaded. "We make a small gang and only do it once in a while. Using all the precautions possible. Plus, I will handle it all, you won't even have to show up."

"And who would buy us the stolen money?" Jason asked.

Matt scoffed. "The English."

Jason sighed. "I insist it's too risky."

"Every business has a risk." Matt said.

Jason glanced at him, he was right. They had a lot to lose, but a lot to win as well.

WITH FRANK:

The crew was getting everything ready on the ship, Frank sat on the top deck waiting for Hotch to return. Who at the moment appeared in front of him.

"And?"

"Gabriel is here." Hotch responded.

Frank sighed. "He planning something to have gathered us all here."

"It seems like the Spanish float is preparing to take a good load of products to England." Hotch said.

Frank took a look around. "There are very few ships here. Right?" Hotch nodded. "We are not enough ships to take down a Spanish float."

"The English is smart." Hotch reminded him.

Frank sighed, but agreed. Shoving him forward they climbed off the boat and into the streets. The females would give them looks between lust and disgust. Pirates were both hated and loved all over the world. A group of pirates were playing the plaza as Frank and Hotch walked by, Hotch being the ass he was pushed them out of the way making way for them. Frank just laughed, somethings will never change. They walked into a bar, Gabriel was sitting with his right hand man eating.

"Antillano! You finally show up." Gabriel smiled,

"We just docked. From The Iguana to The Mariana a storm hit us. We lost two days." Frank explained, as he took a seat.

Hotch pulled the small bag of money from his pocket. "This are the winnings from the prisoners."

"Very well." Grabbing the bag Gabriel tossed it to him men. "There is a rumor that Spain and England are going to make the peace. And as you all know this does not profit us, our winnings disappear. War ends and so will the pirates. Who wants the piracy to end?"

"Nobody!" The entire place yelled, all but Frank and Hotch.

Gabriel noticed Frank's quietness. "What do you think Antillano?"

"I don't know." Frank inhaled deeply. He knew Gabriel knew he hated this life.

"You joined in as a deck boy, when I found out you could read and write I made you my book keeper." Gabriel smiled, it could almost be described as a proud smile. It was no news El Antillano was one of the best fighters and captains out there. "Now you have become a captain and even have your own ship."

"I won that in a battle." Frank responded, he held a defensive tone of voice.

"I know; I know Antillano. You are a smart and expert man and if we are going to enter this new adventure, I am going to need you strong hand and crew." Gabriel said, keeping his voice low and stable. Frank was an easy man to anger.

Sharing a look with Hotch, he turned back to Gabriel. "We'll talk later."

Gabriel stood up, raising his glass. "A toast for the fraternity, the gold and taste of battle!" Everyone, but Hotch and Frank yelled.

Back in san Francisco Morgan, Jake and Emily were by the river. The wheel chair had been built. So they took Morgan to the place they said to have found JJ's items. Even then Morgan was not convinced JJ was taken by the river and with Jake's mix up in words, it only confused him more.

Frank walked beside Gabriel, at the shore of the beach. Both Hotch and Gabriel's men trailed behind them. as always they were watch their captains and make sure not harm came to them.

Gabriel was explaining that they would use the storm to their advantage.

"And if there is no storm?" Frank asked.

Gabriel groaned. "For god sakes Antillano, then we will find another way like we have many times." He noticed the way Frank hesitated. "what's the matter Antillano? Why the hesitation?" Frank shrugged. "What don't tell me you have become a coward?" Taking the joke both man just laughed. Frank took him up to his ship, Gabriel was getting worried by his hesitation and quietness. "What is the matter with you Antillano? I have seen you fight like a fierce beast, drunk from the smell of gun powder and blood." He scoffed. "And now here you are giving me rational and excuses."

"You know very well that if I am involved in this life was not voluntary and it's not to my likening." Frank spoke.

Gabriel smirked. "Would you have liked it better if we slit your throat?"

"No, and I appreciate giving me the opportunity to live, but there are a lot of things I don't like." Frank groaned.

Gabriel rolled his eyes. "This far in you should be used to them already."

"No, it has not happened and I don't think it will ever happen." Frank assured.

Gabriel chuckled, walking over to him. Smirking when frank walked to the other side. Even with everything the man doesn't trust anyone and he was doing right. "We all have our moments, but with a good drunken night the concision-if it even exists-shuts up. Come on Antillano! Buck up!" Frank shook his head. "Just hold out for a bit, this is all almost over. First we need to make ourselves some money!"

Frank clenched his jaw, he despised whenever the man was right. "You say you need me right? Well I am willing, but I want a bigger share of the winnings."

"How much more?"

"We know the majority is for kingdom and you keep a very juicy percentage. The rest is divided between the rest." Frank shrugged.

Gabriel sighed. "I can't give you more than the other captains."

"The orient has a bigger share."

"Well the orient has years of experience, and besides his ship, he has a smaller one well-armed." Gabriel argued.

Hotch was currently gambling with some members of the crew, when he noticed Frank was now alone and Gabriel was nowhere in sight.

"How did it go?" Hotch asked.

Frank turned to him with a smile. "Tomorrow we sail out."

"Where to?"

With a heavy and happy sigh, he looked out into the sea. "The seas of Florida."

Hotch frowned. "Okay, but what for?" He handed him a cup of rom.

With a laugh he leaned down. "We are going to get another ship!"

Hotch was thrilled, it had been a while since they have had a good fight. Looking over at the group he smiled. "Hey! Pay up!"

One of the members mumbled to himself as he jumped into the water as payment for losing. The men laughed. Frank had to admit not all was bad in this life.

AT MORGAN'S HOME:

Rossi was helping Diana with some herbs for her medicine.

Diana was worried about her son. "He's been to the river everyday looking for any race of JJ. He won't accept it. He denys to think she's dead."

"Why don't we tell him the truth mother?" Garcia suggested.

Emily was quick to shut her down. "No we can't! He will obsess with looking for her to the ends of the world. If that happens we will lose him forever."

"Let him do what he's doing. Someday he will resign. Maybe a miracle might happen and JJ returns to me." Rossi said, tears slowly filling up his eyes.

No one saw the look of horror cross Emily's face. She prayed that never happened.

WITH JJ:

JJ was between hating and enjoying her life with rick. It has been a month since she has been there. Rick was kind, but rude and arrogant. She hadn't really spoken to Blake or Monica, but she disliked the way he treated her daughter. Rick had made her taken manner and dance classes converting her into the all-star high class woman. she enjoyed the classes, but hated what they meant. She was desperate to escape, to get a letter home. So she asked Blake for help, who was happy to help if it meant having her leave. Of course JJ didn't know that much will happen before she would be able to return home.
