Chapter 22

Will and Elizabeth Turner had been reported returning home earlier in the day. As Mercer stood before the closed door to Captain Jonathan Barnet's office, he exhaled deeply. He then knocked.

"Enter," came Barnet's curt voice.

Mercer entered the office apprehensively, closing the door behind him. He walked to Barnet's desk and stood before it in a businesslike manner.

"We just received word of the Turners returning to their home on the beach of Port Royal. Sources say they were dropped off by the Black Pearl."

In his chair behind his desk, Barnet smiled smugly. "That only adds on to the incriminating evidence against them." He paused. "Any news on the amulet?"

"No. We have to assume it was destroyed. Another source reports a violent storm complete with disfigured landmasses occurring miles away from here. Later, it abruptly stopped."

"Then the amulet was destroyed." Barnet rose from his seat and strode over to the window. "I rather hoped things wouldn't have to come to this, but I see no other alternative option." He turned to face Mercer. "How soon can our man be here?"

Mercer smirked. "Well, he has already extracted the necessary information from the person who knows of our target's whereabouts. All that's left to do is summon him here to set our next plan into motion."

"Any complications or loose ends that need to be attended to?"

"One. Our man said his victim managed to send a warning letter to the next target before he was assassinated. Will that do anything to damage our purpose?"

"Hardly. Even if the letter is received, our man will be here already, waiting for him. How close is he?"

"I believe he can be here in three days. He's already coming."

"Good."
