Author's Note: I'm so sorry I haven't posted in so long. I blame it all on school so as soon as that's over I'll be free to write more often. Anyway this chapter is really short and I hope to write a longer chapter next time.

Chapter #5

I ran as fast as I could back to where the ship was, the fear of being caught by the creepy guy with six fingers keeping me going. When I got to the docks I ran right onto the ship and collapsed on the deck.

"What-"

"Don't ask," I cut Fezzik off before he could finish his question, "and whatever you do don't let any soldier looking people on the ship, there's a good chance that they might arrest me on sight and drag me off to prison."

"Why would they want to do that?"

"They sort of caught me spying on them when they arrested the man in black. The prince told Count Rugen to put him in The Pit Of Despair. That doesn't sound good does it?"

"No it doesn't. What do we do?" I looked over at him and realized that it was just the two of us and we had no where to go. It wasn't a good feeling, having nothing.

"I guess we have to find a job."

"I don't want to abandon Indigo, you said that he survived the sword fight with the man in black."

"He did," I pulled the anchor up and started to steer the ship out of the harbor, "I don't know where he went."

"I looked everywhere in the area for him but there was no sign. I'm worried about him." I nodded, I was really worried about him.

We arrived back in Florin the next night. Fezzik was asleep on the ship when we got there so I went around trying to find somewhere to stay. I found an abandoned cabin that had half collapsed. But it was close to a place where I could put the ship. It also had two bedrooms. I began rebuilding it, not a very good job but enough so Fezzik and I could stay there.

By the time I went back to the ship the sun was up and so was Fezzik. I showed him the cabin. Then we discussed our options. We agreed that Fezzik would go find a job for us, since he was the one not in danger of being arrested, while I would continue to fix the house.

By the time Fezzik got back I had almost finished the house and begun a small dock for the boat.

"I got us both jobs." He announced to me as he came in.

"That's great Fezzik! What are we doing?"

"We're on the brute squad!"

"The brute squad? How did you- Never mind I'm sure they took one look at you and you were on."

"They were impressed. I can't help it if I'm the biggest and the strongest. Our first job is to clear the Thieves' Forest for the Prince's wedding. We go tomorrow. You won't see Prince Humperdink or Count Rugen they'll be at the wedding."

"Fine."

The next day we arrived at the Thieves' Forest and met the rest of the brute squad. I wore a cloak and had hung most of my daggers in plain sight. It was pretty easy work, most of the fierce thieves were drunk out of their mind and ran when Fezzik or I came up to them. As I loaded a bunch onto a wagon a man came over and my new boss, Yellion the chief enforcer addressed him.

"Is everybody out?"

"Almost," the man answered, "there's a Spaniard giving us some trouble."

"Well you give him some trouble." I looked closer at the man, he had a cut on his head. It looked like a sword cut. It didn't take a genius to put sword and Spaniard together. I took off running to find Fezzik.

"I am waiting for you Vizzini," we could hear Indigo yelling before we saw him, "You told me to go back to the beginning, so I have." We rounded a corner and saw him. Indigo was not looking good. He sat in front of a cottage seeing life through the bottom of a bear glass. "This is where I am," he stated, "and this is where I'll stay. I will not be moved."

"Ho there!" It was the man who had been talking to Yellion. He approached Indigo with his spiked club raised.

"I do not budge," Indigo said to him, "keep your 'ho there'." Fezzik and I rolled out eyes at each other.

"The prince gave orders." The man stated. Indigo lunged at the man waving his sword haphazardly.

"So did Vizzini," Indigo insisted, "when a job went wrong you go back to the beginning. This is where we got the job so it's the beginning. And I'm staying till Vizzini come." The man was looking very scared, he saw us and motioned us over.

"You brutes, come here!"

"I am waiting for Vizzini." Fezzik reached down and lifted Indigo up.

"You surely are a meanie." I rolled my eyes again, those two and their rhyming. Indigo compared his hand to Fezzik's before looking up at Fezzik.

"It's you."

"True."

"I'm here too." I said, see I can rhyme just as good as them. The man rushed at us and Fezzik smacked him and the man didn't move again.

"You don't look so good." Indigo phffed at his and both Fezzik and I wrinkled our noses.

"You don't smell so good, either." I added covering my nose.

"Perhaps not," Indigo assured us, "I feel fine." Fezzik let go of Indigo and patted him on the back. Indigo in turn pitched head first to the ground.
