Chapter 4
"And why should I take yer on lass?" Jack asked incredulously
Cassie was stumped for a moment, she truly had not thought of that
"I'm good company" she said finally, and quite pathetically, then with
sudden inspiration "and I'm a good cook"
Jack thought for a moment, it was Gibbs who was cooking for the crew at the
moment and he was the worst cook in history. Their last meal (rat pie) had
looked more like cat droppings mixed with vomit, which in fact came quite
useful as the rest of the crew was throwing it overboard saying they felt
sea sick
"only if you take only half the wages everyone else gets.that's two
shillin's"
Cassie grinned, but immediately winced, the bruises on her face hurt like
hell
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*****~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
it was only as they were getting to the ship, Cassie asked were they were
going
"port royal" Jack had answered distractedly as there were two particularly
attractive (and less dressed) whores on the corner of the alley by the fish
shop. He gave them a look up and down then a wink
"I thought it were dangerous for pirates to go there?" Cassie said
persisting
"yeah.so?" Jack said carrying on towards the pier, even though he walked
like a drunkard, he was quite fast
"you get hanged?" she asked almost jogging to keep up in his stride
"would it brake yer heart.love?" he asked turning around to look at her
with a silly grin
"no, I'm just afraid I won't get my wages . captain"
he snorted "you might just become a pirate yet"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~****~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
by the time Jack had stopped ogling every woman he walked past, the crew
was ready to set off, and several of them were looking curiously at Cassie
one of them, a man called Jacob whispered to Gibbs "we must be staying a
bit longer by the look of things" he gave a suggestive wink and nodded at
Jack "and by the look of it, she likes it rough"
Gibbs snorted and gave the robe he was tying a sharp tug "its bad luck to
have a women on board"
"that's only if she sails with us" Jacob said "and we don't need any more
crew members!"
at that moment Jack walked over
"Gibbs!" he said in a boyish way "yer've been relieved of yer chef
duties!"
Gibbs looked him in the eye "are yer sayin' yer don't like me cookin'?"
"no no!" Jack said in an outraged yet hurt way, which of course he was
faking "its just." he struggled for a moment trying to think of a lie, then
he looked suddenly slightly relieved "we need you more on deck" he nodded
rapidly. Jacob caught Jacks drift and nodded with him
"yeah Gibby my friend" he tried to look sincere but failed miserably and
looked on the verge of laughter "yer better as first mate!"
Gibbs eyed them both suspiciously, but his ego won "aye, I suppose I'm a
great firs' mate eh?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~***~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cassie was shown to her quarters by an old man with a parrot, he didn't say
much, or anything for that matter as he showed her into the tiny, grubby
kitchen and pointed in front of the grate were there was a small fur rug,
were she assumed she was supposed to sleep, he left as silently as he came.
"well this is my new home" she said wistfully, only now feeling the
loneliness without her family there.
She took half an hour to look around the kitchen before starting to get
started on her first duties as a chef. It was filthy in there, the
cupboards were infested with weevils, and behind a large bowl she found
some mouse droppings
"well.I suppose its alright, I mean everyone here seems okay" she said
looking at the cupboards critically, at that moment she looked outside and
the first thing she saw was a grotty old man coughing like mad, she
shuddered.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~***~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I'm tellin' yer Jack, its bad look having a women on board" Gibbs said to
Jack later that evening
"unless I'm much mistaken, MR Gibbs , you said the same thing about Anna
Maria" Jack replied giving Gibbs a sly grin "but you soon changed that
opinion.from what I heard a few days ago" he laughed a little under his
breath as he noticed Gibbs get a tinge of red in his already drunk flushed
cheeks
"well don't say I didn't warn yer!" Gibbs said taking a swig out of the
leather flask he carried around perpetually
