Chapter 10- Mystery Solved

"About time you came home dear, you've been gone almost a year. And who is she?" the woman said, impertinently.

"Uh….oh… her… she's just the daughter of my close friends… you know Will…" Jack said as Arielle glared at him in disbelief.

"Oh… the strange one with you when you stole Commodore Norring--- "

"Well, we must be going… lots to do…" Jack said, cutting her off.

"Well you might have a lot to do, but I certainly don't, "exclaimed Arielle, "Exactly who is she?"

"She…"

"I'm his, well, he's my… brother." She said, staring at Jack, speaking slowly, as if trying not to disturb him ( he currently looked as if he had just eaten a lemon).

" But what about the baby…" Arielle trailed off.

" Oh he's Jack's nephew. And you must be his new victim. Your name is…" She taunted.

"Um… Arielle. And why might I be called a victim."

"Because you won't last for more than a week with him… believe me."

Arielle turned to look at Jack, but he had vanished, so she said goodbye hesitantly, and returned to the ship to work out what she had just learned.
