Candace wandered along the streets of Tortuga until after dark, hopelessly
searching for The Red Rat. She was soon to find out that not all sailors
were true and honest souls.
"Well, well, well. What 'ave we 'ere, boys?" A filthy pirate asked, grabbing Candace by the arm. "A little far from yer street, aren't ye?"
"Let go of me." She screamed, trying to get free.
"Let ye go? And loss a good night's entertainment? Not bloody likely!" The pirate said, wrapping an arm around her waist. "If ye're good enough, mayhap we'll pay ye double what ye're used to."
"I'm not a whore, damn it. Let me go!" Candace screamed and bit down on his hand, only to be rewarded with a cuff alongside her head.
"I'll teach ye, fucking slut. No one bites Billy Blake* and gets away with it."
"Now, now, Billy." A new man said, coming up behind them. "She's just a young girl. Let 'er go, and I'll give ye twice what ye were going to pay for 'er. Do we have an accord?"
"Damn you, Murry." Blake cursed, but accepted the purse thrown at him. "Why d'ye always go an' ruin me fun."
"Because, Blake," Murry started, "unlike ye, I can tell when a girl is not wantin' yer attention. And she, obviously, isn't. Have a fine night." He turned to Candace and helped her off of the cool concrete.
"Stay the hell away from me." She said, reaching for a nearby rock.
"Now, lass," he said with a smile. "Is that any way for ye to thank me? I just saved yer virtue, if not yer life."
"I didn't need your damned help. I was doing just fine on my own." She retorted.
"Oh, aye. I can see how biting a pirate and getting hit 'longside the head is 'doing just fine.' I am Murry, bartender and owner of The Red Rat, at yer service."
"I don't bloody.what did you say your name was?"
*Billy Blake is Johnny D's character in Dead Man. Interesting movie, a little hard to get, but Johnny makes up for it...too bad he dies. Oops. A/N: There'll be more Johnny pop-ins from various movies
