⌠No, those are Navy members and they are returning mi padre▓s ship to him!■ Ramira protested.
⌠Ramira┘please┘I know where Jack is heading and I will send someone for you. These soldiers and I go way back, just go back to Jack.■ Max stood up and swayed, her head felt light and empty but at the same time filled with water throwing her off balance and weighing her down. ⌠You can walk faster than I can right now and less noticed. Just in case I get caught, walk in front of me, tell Jack I▓ll be fine and do not come after me.■
She wasn▓t sure why she was trusting all this to Ramira, or even if she really wanted to the information to get to him. Why didn▓t she want his help in escaping the noose if it came to that? She was fearful for Jack▓s life as well as anything else she presumed, and they couldn▓t kill her off straight away┘not that she knew of anyway.
⌠You lie! You would never send the Navy towards Jack!■ Ramira pointed out to, proud that she caught it.
⌠Jack can get away as long as he isn▓t in shackles┘I▓ll even┘get you a new ship!■ she promised. ⌠I▓ll send you and your crew on a new ship home┘or I▓ll just send you back on this one┘if he hasn▓t taken it.■
Ramira shook her head, ⌠No!■
Max sighed, ⌠Look,■ she pulled out her sword and pointed it at her throat. ⌠I▓ve tried to be nice..■ there was a loud bang from the other side of the door that made ax▓s head throb louder.
She placed her free hand to her forehead, it felt cool on her feverish skin. Her sword on the other hand slipped a little lower and now was pointing to her mid-section. Her strength seemed to be leaving her arm quickly as she fought to keep hold of the sword, hopefully she wouldn▓t have to use it.
Moments later, the door of the small room swung open revealing many men in red and blue coats. For an instant, Max found herself staring at one of the men in particular.
⌠Funny how we keep meeting up like this.■ he told her with fake muse. Just as Max was going to retort back, her arm went limp, her sword dropped to the ground and she clutched her throbbing temples.
Her vision went black for a moment, the room seemed to spin as her balance was thrown off again and she felt herself beginning to fall. Just as she thought she would hit the floor, she felt arms around her, making sure she went no farther towards the wood they were all standing on. Gillette had caught her out of instinct/.
⌠Search the rest of the ship┘find out who she is┘■ he gave the orders to the crew nodding to Ramira. Who was this girl┘it couldn▓t have been a new crew member┘it just couldn▓t have been.
