Since I was unable to kill the fool doing the talking, I shot the next best thing...the moving target next to him. Once he fell down dead, the two others moved into the shadows and chaos erupted. The whole tavern erupted into fights all over the place, with swords, knives and bullets flying everywhere! Another bullet came right past my head and some poor bloke got thrown out of a window behind me. At my age, it was nice to have quiet days filled with calm sailing... I miss shooting people and giving grief. I don't know who I'm trying to lie to. Ah, to be a pirate again!
I just managed to throw myself behind a post when another bullet hit Lucas right between the eyes. Now I remember why I hate doing my own dirty work. Far too much danger for my liking. Some lunatic in front of me pulled out a pistol and shot some poor fool in the back before turning over a table and taking shots at anyone in his way. People like that were dangerous, the people who shoot just for the sake of killing. A well placed shot to his chest from behind my pillar took him down without further complications. Unfortunately, looking for the source of my much needed information, I found the barmaid gone. Damn it all to hell!
This job was not worth my life. Nor was any money that gentleman wanted to give away. So while those idiots shot at each other to their hearts content, good ol' Kate would just slip out the back door. Of course it became obvious that this plan wasn't going to work, when I ran straight into the strong arms of a handsome man. The very same handsome man that everyone was shooting for.
"Hello miss. I'm so very sorry that we have to meet like this but I think it would be best if you went home for now. And didn't mention me or the lady I was with. To anyone. Understand?" Nodding my head in clear understanding, I ran out the back door. That was my last day working in that tavern.
