Andrew yelped, and the next thing he knew he was being pinned down by a large, musky pirate. The pirate held a dagger in his mouth. he grabbed it and was ready to strike Andrew.There was a loud crash. Katy had brought down a nearby rum bottle onto his head. The fighting and pillaging continued all around them
"Oh let's go to Tortuga! What a grand idea Katy!"
Andrew snarled sarcastically. Katy laughed and ducked as someone flew overhead via chandelier.
"I know she must be here! Besides, you get used to all the commotion after a while."
Andrew just gave her a funny look. She had defiantly spent more time here then he had. Katy had failed to mention that asking the wrong guy for directions could start up a full scale riot. Andrew was stuck with an idea. From his pocket he produced a small bomb. Katy's eyes widened with fear.
"What are you planning to do with that thing?"
She shrieked. Andrew just took out his blade and let the flame lick the fuse. A spark emerged and began to travel into the bomb. Andrew quickly tossed it into a barrel. He grabbed Katy and flipped the table over onto its side. The blast rang out, the table provided protection for the two teenagers. The riot instantly stopped. As the dust settled, Katy and Andrew flipped the table back to normal. Andrew used the table as a podium and shouted into the onlookers.
"Now that I have your attention, can anyone tell me where I might find Suzanne?
Gasps rang through the room; everyone began to file out of the tavern. One of the bar wenches gave Katy a toothy grin, then turned her attention to Andrew
"I wouldn't recommend getting involved with someone like her; if you value your life that is. If you don't come and follow me"
The bar wench lit a lantern and they followed her. They went through the streets of Tortuga, ignoring the calls of people attempting to sell them cheap merchandise, in hopes of ripping people off. She knocked a door three times. A small portion of the door opened and a pair of eyes look through. Katy was startled. One eye was blue and the other was a dark green. A voice from the other side of the door rang out.
"What do you want?"
Andrew stepped forward
"We need to speak to Suzanne."
The eyes narrowed
"I'm sorry but she won't be seeing anyone today. I'm sure if you come back tomorrow..."
Andrew interrupted
"We don't have until tomorrow, we have to leave tonight. I need to have Suzanne tell me more about this."
He held up the necklace with the purple crystal on it. The small section of the door instantly closed and the whole door opened. A couple of hands shot out and pulled Katy and Andrew inside. Andrew found a blade being pressed up against his neck. Behind the blade was a young woman. The strange colored eyes seemed to read his mind. They also looked as if they had years of wisdom behind them.
"Where on earth did you come across that, and why would a thief such as yourself want to steal such a dangerous item?"
Andrew shuttered. The blade was cold. He swore he could hear it singing. Katy struggled to escape the man that had a hold of her.
"He did not steal it. Tia Dalma gave it to him; she needs to be released from Calypso's grip."
The woman let go of Andrew and motioned to the man hanging onto Katy. He let her go. The woman chuckled.
"Ah yes, Let me introduce myself I am Suzanne. What do you need?"
Katy approached Suzanne. Andrew was a little surprised. Katy has always been rather timid.
"We need to save two people and we hear you can help."
Suzanne's eyes climbed down Katy, examining her carefully. She noticed the chart Katy was clutching
"I see you have the sea chart, do you have the bones as well?"
Andrew nodded and showed Suzanne the bag. Suzanne took the chart and spread it out onto an empty table. She looked up expectantly.
"Well, throw them onto the chart."
Andrew did as instructed and threw the bones. They formed out land masses on the map that he recognized. Andrew gasped. He had seen his mother do the same thing, but Andrew didn't know anything about trafficking with sprits. Suzanne saw the puzzled look and giggled.
"Do not worry, it's not black magic,If you notice the chart has little indentations in it. The bones automatically fit into these indentations. This allows vital information to be hidden from thieving eyes.
"Now who is it you are looking for?"
