"Excuse me gentlemen, but I'm afraid I'm gonna halfta take yer boat, er,
ship," Jezebel said as she held her cutlass to the two sailors, allowing
Elizabeth and her son to by without a word.
The two stopped dead in their tracks, it was clear that neither of them saw this coming nor did they know what to do - facts that greatly pleased the young pirate. She gave Elizabeth orders to cut the ship loose from the docks, which the woman moved to do almost immediately as she put her son down.
"As yeh both can clearly see, I intend to borrow yer lovely little vessel," Jezebel said to the men in mock kindness.
"This is hardly borrowing," one of them replied.
"Ah, but it is. 'Cause I'm gonna ask yeh right now of ye mind er not," Jezebel said with an evil smirk as she backed the men up with her sword. There was a loud smash as the ramp pulled from the docks and fell into the sea; the ship had already begun to move. "So, can we use yer ship?"
The men, clearly realizing the no-win situation they were in, immediately agreed. Jezebel smiled and called for Jack to get some rope, the boy was so happy to help that he ran as fast as he could to find some. When the lad returned, rope in hand, Jezebel took out a pistol, cocked it, and handed it to the boy, taking the rope in exchange. "Now lad, I want you to point the gun straight at that man," she said pointing to one of the two men, "and if he so much as breathes funny, shoot him."
The boy nodded nervously and turned the pistol on one of the men as Jezebel went to tie the other's hands. As she tied up her captive Jezebel watched out of the corner of her eye as the boy struggled to hold the pistol up and still try to look fierce. She could also see that the untied man was readying to attack the small boy and take the gun. Thankfully, he never had a chance for Jezebel had finished tying the hands of his compatriot and quickly moved to tie him up as well. When that was finished Jezebel snatched the pistol from Jack and backed the two men to the edge of the ship where the ramp had once been. She calmly walked up to sailors, gave cruel sort of smile, and pushed them both overboard.
