11. Liesgow

Short, but I don't want to put it in with another chapter, because so far the whole story's been from Rachel's PoV.

A tall, powerful-looking man stands in a room, looking out a large window that shows a view of a stormy sea.

His hair is snow white, but on his face there is hardly a wrinkle to betray and clue as to his age.

If one had to guess, it would be something around 50 years. No one knows for sure except the man. He likes his secrets.

There is a knock on the door. 'Capn' Liesgow?'

'What?' the man growls.

The door opens to reveal a timid-looking pirate.

'News of Turner and Sparrow's children.'

Captain Liesgow turns and slams the man against the wall. 'Who gave you permission to enter! Now, tell me of this news.'

As the pirate tells him, an evil grin twists across his lips.

'Excellent' the Captain mutters. 'Excellent indeed.'
