"Guys, I'm tellin' ya, I don't know what happened but Kate was covered in blood when she came back downstairs," Said Bradshaw to the other men as they sat at a table in the back of the Tavern. The girls had not arrived as of yet and Wendy had excused herself earlier.

"There's probably a good reason for that, but for now, let's not talk about it," Said Matt as Kate, Molly, Emmaline, Roxy, and Kyrie walked in and headed took seats around the table. "Later okay."

"Men, I figured for yer help with the attack on my ship the other week; I would let ye in on the plans. We be taken ye back to the triangle to get to the future," Said Kate as Molly and the other girls stood back up.

"What?" said Molly voiced the opinion of the others; they were shocked by the way their captain was acting.

"Molly, I made a promise. I intend to keep it. We'll talk about this later," Said Kate as the girls sat back down.

As Kate continued, "The first thing we do, though, is find Jo and then I'll take ye there. We leave Tortuga by the end of the week. If yer not on the ship, yer left behind. Molly, to my cabin we need to talk. "

"Aye," Said Molly and followed Kate out of the tavern.

"Shannon, I have something to show ye," Said Kyrie as she took his hand and they proceeded out of the tavern too.

"Emmaline, let's go for a walk," Said Jeff as he and Emmaline left the tavern behind.

Later that night.

"Why did you become an outlaw, Emmaline?" asked Jeff as they were walking back to the ship for the night.

"Well, for starters: Jo and Kate. Ye see Jeff, they're my kin. My uncle always took them with him on his trades. Their mother died after Jo was born. When we found out that my uncle was dead, we figured the girls were dead too. Jo, Kate and I always were together, when they weren't at sea. When I was sent to the private school, I met Molly and she wanted me to meet her friends, Jo and Kate. I couldn't believe my eyes, my cousins were alive. I wrote home explaining what had happened to them but, my family wanted nothing to do with them. Pirates raised them and that meant they could not be associated with my family. I was angry with my parents," Said Emmaline as she turned to look Jeff in the eyes.

"They didn't want to take care of their own?" asked Jeff a little shocked at what he heard.

"No, reputation was more important. When Jo and Kate told me their plan to kill the pirates, who killed their father, I agreed to help them. These pirates took my cousins away from me. My parents wanted me to stay away from them for reputation's sake. Jeff, please understand these girls are my family, I love them," Said Emmaline as she watched Kate walk out onto the deck of her ship looking as if she was looking for Jo in the crowd.

"I don't know what I would do if I lost my brother. My mother died when I was very young. I could never say 'I disown you' to anyone in my family," Said Jeff as he started for the ship again. "Want to watch Shane lose another round of shuffleboard?"

"I love seeing ye work," Said Emmaline as she took his arm and walked beside him.

"I like you a lot Emmaline," Jeff told her softly as he kissed her cheek.

"I like you too, Jeff," Returned Emmaline as she kissed him fiercely. "That's how I like to be kissed."
