Once they were on the wharf they walk towards Hammersley "bird I over heard what you said to laurel, are you sure it not a sprain"
"I'm sure Dutchy cause there would have been some sort of swelling but there none and there no dirt marks on her shoes, knees and hands if she trip over like she she she did"
"what about where you press your fingers on her ankle"
"Her pressure points, if her ankle was swollen they wouldn't of hurt her. She lied Dutchy"
"Why"
"she want you"
"Are you jealous"
"no concern for a crew mate. Just be careful"
"I will"
Few hours later bird return to check on laurel when she saw laurel and another women on the back of the boat so bird hid behind some containers to watch what was going on. She was shock when she saw them hug and kiss then the women walk off the boat and walk away.
Then she saw laurel walk back down to the cabin so bird went a bit closer to see laurel making the bed up then she got on it and lay down picking up a book to read.
So bird waited for a few minutes before calling out "Hello Laurel Andrews, it Jessica bird"

"Oh so is that what bothering you"
"she interested in Dutchy, I don't know why but I can't put my finger on it. I... I don't want to see Dutchy get hurt or used"
"He a big boy, he can take care of him self"
"you and I know that, but when it comes to women"
"i under stand where you coming from, you worry for him"
"Yeah I don't know what it is but I don't trust this laurel Andrews at all"
