CC was lead to another ship where all the men looked a like. Dressed in shabby cloths, reeked of sweat and fish, and each one carried at sword. There was a black flag with a skull with cross bones that was flying high.
CC's mind: you only see these kinds of people in the movies. Why are they here? What do they want with me? I don't have anything. Well, not on me anyway. What are they doing to Niles?
All the men whistled as she was led passed them. One said that they hadn't a woman on this ship in over five years. CC swallowed. What's going to happen to me? She thought. Images went though her head and none of them pretty.
"In here." Called one of the men and pushed CC forward into a dark room. The only light was by a small window above the cot that was on the floor. "This is where you will stay." He let go of her arm. "Sweet dreams baby." He snickered and shut the door behind him.
"What are they going to do to her?" Niles asked himself out loud. "To my…my baby."
Niles couldn't believe it. Almost 24 hours ago he found out that he was going to be a father. And then all that was taken away cause he… "No, I wont let them get away. I'll…."
"You'll what?" came that voice that shook him to his nerves that first time he heard it.
"Go after her."
"What did you do with my…with my wife and baby?" why Niles blurted that part out he didn't know. Now he regretted it. Just like he did for not believing that there were any pirates.
"Oh baby is it?" he faced one of his crewmen. "Move her up to my quarters."
"No…" Niles tried to grab for the bearded guy but was restrained by two larger fellas.
"No worries my man." He winked at Niles. "Your wife will be safe in my hands." He looked back at them. "Now tie him up."
"Wait, can't we talk about this?" Niles started to struggle. "What else do you want?"
"The boat for starters."
"Fine take it just let us go."
"Ya, see we can't do that." the bearded man walked closer to Niles.
He swallowed. "Why not?"
"Cause we are pirates and you are now our prisoners." He winked at Niles. "Go lock him up in the cabin." Niles struggled as much as he could.
"Then what?" Questioned one of the goons that held onto Niles.
"You will see. Just do that first." The bearded man shouted. When the goons returned the bearded man told them that he had fixed the boat and to stay close behind them. "I don't need any more mishaps."
"CC," Niles shouted out the open window.
