"Oh no Jack," Marisol exclaimed, "When I said all or nothing, that's NOT what I meant!" Jack looked at her skeptically.
"Mari, you're not makin any sense at all. You tell me, "All or Nothin", so I'm goin all or nothin," he replied. She rubbed her temples, looking at him angrily.
"Are you still hellbent on destroying every chance you have? You have a chance with a good woman- a women who isn't part of that world at all, and you want to drag her into it."
"You are just as much to blame as me," he said, "Should've never introduced us if you didn't intend on bringin her into this. As I see it, you're more to blame than me- wot did I do but show up?"
"Boy has a point, lassie," Hector added, shrugging.
"Oh, shut UP Uncle Hector!" Marisol hissed, "She doesn't need to be in this."
"Into what?" Chicha asked, looking arounnd at the arguing faces. They all stopped, eyeing her carefully. Hector stepped forward, circling her critically.
"Prettier than I imagined," he grunted, "Looks innocent, she does. She be perfect." She cringed away from Hector, looking confused.
"Jack...?" she asked.
"All or nothin, luv," he said.
"What does that entail exactly?" she asked.
"We be what ye'd call, "Modern Pirates"," Hector said, "We be procuers of items of value. We procure em, sell em, and turn a profit."
"And wot dear 'Ector is neglecting to say out loud is that these items are guns, drugs, an things of a generally unsavory and illegal nature, savvy?" he said, "So if you don't want to luv, understandable. We'll just be on our way, goodbye forever and no need for any commitment whatsoever." He turned, reaching for his coat, but was stopped by a firm grip on his arm.
"So that's it? You'd just walk away? Damn you," she said, looking at Hector, "I'm in. Mari, don't even try arguing. You knew this would happen." Jack blinked, suprised. It was not the response he expected.
"I'll be damned," he said in his shock.
"With our luck, ye very well may be," Hector said with a girn.
"You'll destroy her," Marisol hissed.
"You are giving me entirely too much credit luv," he said, pulling Chicha in by her waist.
"Don't be temptin fate, Jackie," Hector warned, "She be a three titted witch, ye know that." Chicha pulledhim down to her level, kissing him hard.
"Don't you abandon me," she told him, "You're stuck with me now."
