The sixteen of them spent the rest of the night in a restless sleep inside the pitch black back of the van.
When dawn finally broke, it was Fidget who woke them. The sunlight crept in through the cracks in the door, and through the tinted window. "I'm hungry!" She complained.
"Me too." Rogue agreed absently. She was sprawled out with her head lolling to the side, seeming to indifferent to really care what happened to them.
"All our food and water is back in the truck." Star said nervously. "We'll just have to wait and see if these people feed us."
As if right on cue, the van door swung open and the woman appeared. She had discarded her cowboy hat by now, but the red lipstick was as bright as ever. She was holding three boxes of cereal. She shoved these, along with a carton of milk and plastic cups, into the van and then shut the door.
There was an immediate scrambling for cups, cereal, and milk. Some of the milk got spilled, and Apple complained shrilly about how it was going to start stinking.
That day they rode along in the van, not knowing where they were going or who their captors were. At dusk, the woman fed them again, and they traveled all night long.
It was mid-morning the next day when the van opened again. This time the woman was holding a shotgun.
"Out." She said simply. She had sunglasses pulled down low over her eyes. Wordlessly, the sixteen captives crawled out of the van, stretching their legs and flinching against the bright sunlight.
"Where are we?" Link whispered, standing close to Armpit. He only shrugged; he didn't have a clue.
"I think we're somewhere in Mexico." Kitty, who was standing near them, whispered. "It's the only place with an ocean that we could've reached this fast." There was a ship waiting in the bay. There was some movement on the ship, but other than that, the harbor was deserted.
"Girls, get in the boat." The woman said, indicating a little rowboat. They all nervously scrambled into the rickety structure and were rowed to the ship waiting. A few minutes later, the boys arrived on another rowboat.
"Hello children." The man said, approaching them. He had an evil grin on his face now. "My name is Captain Will. This is my ship, The Black Hawk. This is my first mate, Sheila." He indicated the woman, who just glared through her sunglasses. "And this, my dear friends, is a pirate ship."
Link sniffed and stepped even closer to Armpit, who wrapped his arms around her protectively.
"What do you want with us?" X-Ray asked boldly. "We're just run-aways from Camp Green Lake! We don't have money or valuables or anything except the clothes on our backs!"
"You've got strong muscles." Captain Will said. "That's something we need. Our crew was starting to dwindle. In face, besides you, there's my second mate, Harry, and a man named Reiss, and that's it. You'll be a welcome addition, I do believe."
"You're going to make us work!" Apple demanded incredulously. "What if I break a nail or something!"
Captain Will sneered and slapped her hard across the face. "Don't ever speak to me like that again!" He growled. Apple's eyes watered, but she wouldn't cry. Caveman quickly pulled her close to him.
"Now, Sheila will take the girls to their cabin, and Harry will take the boys to theirs." Captain Will went on. "You will be expected to work first thing tomorrow, when we set sail."
"Come along." Sheila snapped, and she led them away down some wooden stairs to a cabin. It was lined with eight hammocks with thin blankets and small pillows.
There was a small shower in the corner. They took turns showering.
Kitty was the last one to get out of the shower. Star sitting on the floor, cross-legged, braiding Apple's hair. Minx was brushing her hair. Rogue and Fidget were playing a game. Jewel and Link were talking.
Reiss, the extra pirate, came in and brought them food. It wasn't the best, but it was a whole lot better than canned food and cereal. They ate it quickly, then settled down in their hammocks for a long and restless night.
