Later that night on the roaring lioness…
"And that is what you do for a living?" asked Kate as she and Matt walked the lower decks together.
"Pretty much. What did you think?" asked Matt as he walked beside Kate.
"I've never seen anything like it that's for sure." Said Kate as Matt stopped her in the hall out of sight of any onlookers and kissed her. "Why are you doing this to me?" she said at a whisper as she took off.
"Oh, no you don't; you're not walking a way this time Kate." Said Matt as he followed her to the captain's cabin and slammed the door shut behind him.
"What the hell's your problem? Every time I get close to you or kiss you, you pull away. What are you afraid of?"
"I'm not afraid of anything!" Yelled Kate as she got defensive.
"Could have fooled me," Said Matt as he walked closer to her.
"Don't you come any closer!" Said Kate as her voice cracked slightly.
"Why not?" said Matt as he stepped forward again leaving only an inch between them.
"Kate? Cap'n Monkey is willing to talk now." Said Molly as she burst into the room.
"Let's just see what the good Cap'n has to say," Said Kate as she walked around Matt and out the door leaving Molly and Matt standing in the cabin alone.
"Leave her alone Matt," Said Molly as she headed for the door.
"Why?" said Matt blocking Molly's path. "What is she so afraid of?"
"Ye make her feel things she didn't know she could feel. I shouldn't even be tellin' ye this but I like ye I know ye won't hurt her. Besides ye be goin' home soon." Said Molly as she sighed and shut the cabin door. "She was raped a long time ago. I'm sure ye wondered why we were a crew of women. She didn't want anything to do with a man after him. Then ye just appeared on our island."
"No." whispered Matt he couldn't believe what he was hearing and sat down as Molly continued. "Not my Kate." He thought.
"She likes ye and that scares her. Though she won't admit it. She won't be happy with me tellin' ye but she would never tell ye herself and ye have a right to know." Said Molly as she turned to leave the room. "Don't ye hurt her Matt I'll come after ye if ye do."
"Oh, Kate. My precious Kate." He whispered to his self as a tear ran down his face.
Somewhere else on the Roaring Lioness…
"And where do you think your going?" asked Jeff as he caught Emmaline by the arm and spun her around on deck.
"Cap'n Monkey is going to talk, I have to be there." Said Emmaline as she wrapped her arms around Jeff. "Will I be see'n ye later?"
"Most definitely. I still got some things to do. I'll find you then." Said Jeff as he grinned wickedly and kissed her.
"Hopefully sooner then later." Whispered Emmaline as she kissed him and ran off.
"I sure hope so." Said Jeff as he walked towards the doctor's cabin to help with the sick and injured.
"Molly, where you headed?" asked Chris as he caught up to the fast walking pirate.
"I have a prisoner to question," Said Molly as she turned around and slugged him hard.
"Oww. What was that for?" asked Chris rubbing his jaw.
"For letting Angle beat ye," Said Molly as she turned to walk away.
"He beat me because he cheated," Chris retorted as he felt his temper building; "It's not like he didn't have help either."
"What's that supposed to mean?" Molly challenged.
"Admit it," Chris was yelling now; "You were in it with him the whole time, weren't you? I mean, come on, did you have to do it there?"
"Wha-" Molly attempted to interject but was cut off.
"I mean, kissing him right there in front of me," Chris shouted. "I thought I meant more to you then that. I really was just another 'notch' wasn't I?"
"Chris," Molly sputtered not sure which accusation to react to first.
"Save it Molly," Chris glared and then turned on his heel and hurried away.
Molly was too confused to go after him and watched helplessly as he disappeared around the end of the cabin structure.
"Molly," A voice urged her that belonged to Maxine. "It's time to begin the questioning."
