He grabs the back of Paul's' shirt, pulls him forward. He cuts the rope he swung over on, and ties Paul up with it. He takes Paul's' sword out of his hand, and then goes on a rampage. Until Captain calls all his pirates back to the ship, Jo quickly puts both swords in his belt, grabs Paul, and runs to a free rope. He swings back to the ship with Paul in hand. Back on the ship, Captain gives Paul to Jo, since he captured him.
"Sure, I can use a sparring partner." says Jo, with gratitude
He grabs Paul again, and drags him all the way to his cabin. Captain yells that, they're docking ship in town, in a week. Jo waves his hand at the Captain, and slams the door behind Paul. He lets go of Paul, grabs two basins, and two jugs of water, next to the dresser. He piles up some dirt and mud, grabs the baking soda and a toothbrush. He pours a little bit of the water on the toothbrush, then puts baking soda on the toothbrush, and brushes his teeth.
After rinsing mouth completely out, he puts the toothbrush down, turns away from Paul, and takes off his bandana. Revealing all of his long hair, he wraps the bandana around his head so it keeps water from completely going down his head. He shakes his head so his hair falls all the way down. He fills one of the baisons, and picks it up. Then he closes his eyes, and pours most of the water down his head. She takes off her bandana, and wipes her face clean, the best she can. She puts the bandana down, goes into a drawer on the dresser, and takes out a necklace. The necklace is a silver chained necklace with a pendent, hanging down it. An ordinary necklace, that you can get anywhere, yes, but it is her favorite out of all her necklaces. She puts the necklace on with an admiring look, then shakes her head to clear it, and frowns. She goes into her closet, and grabs a chair. She places the chair in front of the door. She goes back into the closet, and comes out holding a box.
"What's in the box?" asks Paul
"A brush, and rope, shut up." she says
She brushes her brown hair completely out, then puts the brush back into the box. She closes the lid on the box, and puts it back in the closet. She turns around, facing Paul, and sits on top of her dresser. She leans down, and grabs Paul's' sword. She twirls it around, and around in her hands, without looking at him.
"You have a nice sword." she says, finally
"That's all you have to say is 'you have a nice sword'?" Paul asks, angrily. Jo looks up ,still angry,at him.
"No, give me a minute, I want to strike a deal with you." says Jo
"A deal?" echos Paul
"Yes, now shut up, and listen. You go with my deal, when we port, you get your sword back. After the deal is over, you can roam free through the streets. If you don't go with the deal, I kill you right now for breaking pirate code. " says Jo,pointing the sword right at Paul's neck.
"Let's say I go along with your little plan, or deal, what else do I get, besides my life, and sword?" asks Paul
"You ask any questions, I answer. Also, I give you enough money for a house, and groceries. After the deal is completed." answers Jo
"Deal" says Paul
"Good, here's the deal. You do what is asked of you, no manual labor, very easy. You don't kill me at all, you'll be free after the job is completed. I'll tell you the job in a week. When I feel comfortable, I'll let you run loose, around the ship, only tied up at night. After that only your wrists will be tied to the bed. Right now, you're tied up all night, and day. All you have to do is keep your mouth shut about my gender. That's half of your job, nothing more for now." says Jo
"Sounds easy enough. Alright I won't kill you, and I'll keep my mouth shut." says Paul
She nods, and hops off the dresser. She turns back around, and puts dirt on her face, all over her cheeks, forehead, and chin. She grabs her bandana, and after gathering her hair back up on top of her head, she puts the bandana on. Like it was, when she put it on this morning. She grabs a key, off her dresser, and Paul's' sword. She goes to the closet, puts Paul's' sword on the shelf in the closet, locks the door, and puts the key down her shirt, on the side of her corset.
"What no pockets?" asks Paul
"Cute, no, I have one pocket, but it looks weird, if a guy goes down another guy's shirt." says Jo
"But your a girl." complains Paul
"True, but the guys don't know that." says Jo
"True. Okay, your real name, what is it?" asks Paul
"Joanna." says Jo
"Last name?" asks Paul
"Far" says Jo
"Ah, so you're loaded." says Paul
"Yes, and yours?" asks Jo
"My?" asks Paul
"Your name?" asks Jo
"Paul Key" answers Paul
"Oh, the greatest swordsman of the sea." says Jo
"Correct. Are you the one known as Jo the greatest pirate ever?" asks Paul
"Yes, I am." says Jo
"Where does your parents think you are?" asks Paul
"Geez, you sound like my Aunt." complains Jo
"Just curious." says Paul
"They're out on business for a month in Paris. They think I'm at home , or at my friends' house in Greece. So I'm not expected back for a week." answers Jo
For the week, Jo and Paul talked about their past, taking turns asking each other questions. They argued sometimes, but made up later. In three days she cut the ropes, and let him move around freely, during the day. Two days after that, she tied him to the bed by the wrist. It is the last night on the ship, and it is time to turn out the light.
"One last question on the ship." announced Paul
"Okay." says Jo, drowsily
"How old were you when you started being a pirate? How old are you now?" asks Paul
"That's two questions." she says
"Just answer" says Paul
"Okay. I was 13 and I'm 15 about you?" asks Jo
"I was 10 and I am 17 now." answers Paul
"Wow, 7 years." says Jo
"Yep" says Paul
"Goodnight" says Jo
"Goodnight" says Paul
