Chapter III

"Hello there Terry. How are you?" Captain Scarlett asked nervously.

If there was one thing worse than being caught trying to retake your ship from your mutinous crew, it was being caught trying to retake your ship from your mutinous crew by the sailor that hated you more than all of the others combined. To be fair though he had tried to desert her crew. So she wasn't completely in the wrong when she tortured him. Or when she tried to kill him after he attempted to take revenge and run away again.

"H-how have you been?" Captain Scarlett stuttered.

"You mean since you tried to kill me you bitch?"

"Well in all fairness you did try to kill me first..."

And at that moment Captain Scarlett's face met the back of Terry's shotgun and she blacked out.

Captain Scarlett awoke in a very dark room, her head throbbing from where she got hit with Terry's shotgun. She tried to bring a hand to her face to check if she was bleeding only to realize she couldn't move her arms from behind her. She tried to move again and found that her hands were chained together.

She let out a groan.

"Damn it! I'm in the brig aren't I?"

"Yes we are."

"Hammerlock is that you?" Scarlett asked searching for the source of the voice.

"Yes."

"What happened?"

"You got knocked out, I promptly surrendered, they threw us below deck and you've been unconscious until just now."

"Damn it all! I'm sorry. I didn't mean to drag you into this. Now we're both stuck here and they'll probably execute us both. I'm so sorry for bringing you into this."

"Scarlett."

"Yes?"

"I unlocked your cuffs while you were talking."

"Huh?" Scarlett moved her arms which were now both free. "Well that was fast. Where did you learn that trick?"

"Prospecting in the southern colonies of Athenas."

"Neat, you'll have to teach me sometime."

"Of course. But I suggest we both get out of here while they still think we're chained and we have the element of surprise."

"Well said. Let's go."

Hammerlock quickly picked the lock on the door cell door. The two stealthily made their way out of the brig and into the ship's lower decks. Scarlett guided Hammerlock to the back of the ship where they could steal a sandskiff and be off before anyone noticed.

Just as they were rounding a corner Scarlett put out an arm to stop Hammerlock from moving. She pointed to a lone crewman guarding the sandskiffs.

"What are we going to do about him?" She whispered.

"I've got this one." Hammerlock said, moving up behind the guard.

He stood up raised his arm and hit the guard with a sort of judo chop in the back of the neck.

The guard, however, did not drop to the ground as had been expected. Instead he turned around and looked Hammerlock dead in the eye.

"Can I help you?"

There was a moment of awkward silence.

"You see, you were supposed to fall unconscious and I was then going to steal and sandskiff and escape."

"That all?"

"I was perhaps going to loot your body as well."

"Anything else?"

"I was distracting you while Captain Scarlett got behind you."

The guard turned around and sure enough, there was Captain Scarlett pointing a gun at his face. The guard threw his hands up in surrender. Scarlett grabbed a hold of him and tossed him of the back of the ship onto the sand flats below. He proceeded to scream the whole way down.

"That made quite a bit of noise didn't it?"

"Yeah, didn't think about that."

More guards were heard running down the stairs to where they were.

"Run?" Hammerlock asked.

"Let's."

Hammerlock quickly digistructed a sandskiff and hopped in the driver's seat while Scarlett jumped into the gunners seat.

The crew appeared at the back of the ship and watched as the sandskiff sailed away. Several crew members shot at the skiff as it escaped.

Hammerlock made himself as small as possible and tried to weave and dodge his way between gunfire, but Scarlett stood up on the skiff and shouted at the crew as they made their escape.

"You will all remember this as the day that you almost captured Captain Scarl- Sonofabitch!" She screamed as one of the bandits found their target and a bullet hit her artificial leg.
