(A/N) sorry updates have been so slow lately; got the new PS2 game and have been playing it instead. It rocks!! Anyhow, hopefully we'll be back on track here now…..**********

"Why is he here in the first place?" Questioned Shawn Michaels. "He's not a pirate, right?"

"Well, that my friend is a simple question to which I can happily answer," Molly chuckled. "When we last saw him, you remember how we raided their ship dry."

"Yes," Shawn nodded. "Go on."

"Well, the silly fool that he is; he stumbled across our little pirate town here and mistakes it for a ordinary settlement," Molly smiled in amusement. "Now, we pirates are no fools, but we know he'll do us no harm while he's about so we'll let him live to see another day. He'll most likely not be able to find his way back once he leaves Tortuga anyway."

"I see," Shane Helms said. "Are you quite sure that he's not a danger to you?"

"Quite, now off to his ship, quickly now," Molly laughed and started to walk.

After about five minutes or so of walking briskly, the four wrestlers and the pirate woman stood in the shadow of Captain Whitetush's ship.

"How many do you see up there?" Asked Chris to Shawn Michaels in a whisper.

"She's right, they've only left three guards aboard the ship," Shawn returned.

"Molly, what's the plan?" Asked Sean O' Haire next.

Molly looked about carefully noting the bystanders; we go out the gangplank with stealth. Get as close as we can to them and then we overtake them. Then we'll tie them up, gag them, and put them below. We'll lower two dinghies on the far side out of sight of the docks and sail them back to the Roaring Lioness. Chris you and Shawn Michaels will do one; O' Haire and Helms you will do the other. I will grab oars to expedite our escape. Understand everything?"

"Yes, it sounds like a good plan," Shane replied as the other men nodded.

"MOLLY?" A voice called from behind and startled her. "Whatever are you doing dear?"

"Oh no, not again," Molly sighed as she whirled around and saw Looney Lucy smirking at her and waving a pistol.

"Take me with you or I'll fire this gun and alert Captain Whitetush," She told her simply.

"What?" Molly blinked in disbelief.

"You heard me," Lucy sneered. "I'm going to count to ten and then I'm going to fire. 1…2…3…"

"All right stop counting!" Molly hissed and waved her over.

"I knew you'd see it my way," Lucy laughed when she'd reached Molly and the men.

Molly regarded her a moment before asking, "Why?"

As if in an answer, Lucy gazed rudely at the men, licked her lips and countered, "Why not?"

"Uh," Shane shifted uncomfortably. "What does she mean by that?"

"Nevermind, you don't want to know," Molly told him and then addressed Lucy further. "What about your ship, your crew?"

"Ah Molly, that there'd be the real problem," Lucy sighed. "I don't have a crew nor a ship any longer, thanks to that vile Commodore Me."

"Commodore Me?" Snickered Sean O' Haire in response to the ridiculous handle.

"Laddie, I wouldn't be so inclined to do that, if you'd ever met Commodore Me, savvy?" Lucy regarded him seriously.

"So it's revenge you're after?" Molly sought confirmation.

"Exactly," Lucy admitted. "And you seem to be keeping such good company these days, I figured there might be some other 'interesting' perks to be had." Lucy eyed Jericho longingly to make her point.

"Yes well, you'll have to seek another 'perk', this one's is off-limits," Molly said defensively.

Chris looked at her in surprise, unable to believe what he was hearing. She actually was staking a claim to him. 'That's a good sign, I hope,' He thought as the women continued their banter.

"I knew it!" Lucy smiled with satisfaction, "I knew that there had to be a special one to change you after all these years." She looked a Jericho and told him wistfully, "But still, we could've had such fun together." Then she laughed as Jericho avoided eye contact. "I'm sure there is other good 'perks' to be had anyway."

"Fine Lucy, you can come with us now, but realize Kate's got the final word as to whether or not you can sail with us, savvy?" Molly ignored her last comments.

"Yes Molly, it'll be just like old times; you'll see," Lucy nodded. "So what's the plan?"
