Chapter 8: The Plot Thickens
"You blundering idiot!" the Colonel hollered at Captain Maloy. "I gave you one assignment. That's it!"
"It's not my fault mate. You stormed in just when I was about to kill 'em." Captain Maloy sat terrified in the Colonel's office.
"I had to you fool. You kidnapped Elizabeth. I told you to kill the Captain of the Patriot. That's it."
"We 'ad him until you busted us."
"Dimwit, the captain of the Patriot is a she. She's my daughter. Do I have to explain everything? Now, here's your pistol. There are four guards around the barracks. You know what to do." The Colonel then waved Maloy off, but the man didn't get the hint.
"How are we supposed to find em?" Maloy asked.
"Let Sparrow out and follow him to Jacklyn." The Colonel's patience was wearing thin. He didn't like dealing with pirates. He always felt dirty after their encounters.
"But sir, why do you want us to kill your daughter?" Maloy asked, still confused.
"Because she's become nothing but a pain to me. I need to get rid of her. And, once she's dead, it will give me a reason to hunt down and kill the rest of the crew of the Patriot. Now go, before I send you back to the noose."
"Alright, is everyone ready to rescue Jack," Will asked. Will, Thomas, Elizabeth, and Jacklyn all sat crouched just outside the prison. The crew of the two pirate ships were prepared to set sail the moment they got Jack back.
"Don't bother mate."
"Jack!" Elizabeth exclaimed, only to be shushed by her comrades. "But how did you get out?"
"Captain Maloy and his friends busted out, I followed. They tried to kill me, but I out-smarted them. We should get goin'." The five conspirators set off into the forest, unaware that they were being followed.
