Paulo stopped dead in his tracks. He saw Claire walking towards him. He stood up straight he wasn't going to let her take this victory from him. He walked up to her bull shitting her and telling some lie. He was surprised when she believed him and walked the other direction. Paulo ran through the streets. He stopped. He saw Commodore Lucy walking off her ship. Her head hung low. He walked up to her. He whispered in her ear that he had good news. She turned her head. He flinched expecting her to smack him, but she didn't. She looked at him with sadness and desperation in her eyes. She hugged him. It was more using him as support to stand, but it was a hug. He whispered in her ear his good news. She let go of him and started marching towards the naval base. He went to follow but she ordered him to help the crew he was a part of. He felt so angry he could cry. All of his hard work was for nothing. The damn commodore was going to take credit for what he did.
"Haha, you do actually have a purpose. I was wrong calling you worthless." The Khao Manee chuckled. "I love when you beg for your life. It's so god damn amusing! Now beg like the worthless piece of shit you are." There was silence. "How much do you value your life?" the Khao Manee asked.
"After what you did to my crouch? NONE!" The cat spat.
"Hang him by his torso. Over the side of the ship. I don't want to sharks or crocs eating him whole, but little piece by little piece."
"YOU GUTLESS FUCK!"
"Alejandro, I am going to enjoy your screams of pain and anguish." The Khao Manee said and he signaled his crew to take Alejandro away.
"YOU WILL PAY!" Alejandro screamed as he was taken away.
"If I had a ship for every time heard that, oh wait I do have a fleet that large. Tell Satan I said hello" The Khao Manee mocked. The Khao Manee leaned back in his chair. He wore very dark brown leather boots and black pants with a pitch black shirt and red coat, similar to that of a naval officer, which was not buttoned up at all. It had silver trimming. On his left had a black glove and his right a red one. He had two swords sheathed at his side, a rapier at his right and cutlass at this left. He had green eyes and on his head was a red hat with silver trimming and a black feather. He heard a knock at his quarter's door. "Yes?"
"Captain, may I come in?" he heard a female voice.
"Do come in Scarlet."the Khao Manee captain said. A female black cat walked in closing the door. She wore very tall dark brown boots going up to just over half way up her upper legs. She wore matching gloves, but they were slightly darker. She wore blue shorts the left side a little higher due to a rip from combat. She wore a pink shirt that reveals a large part of her torso. Her cleavage was show from a rip at the top, not a large amount just enough to see they were there since enemy pirate ripped their wanting to get a look. Her nickname came from several sources. Her red eyes, how bloody her fights were, and from her face sometimes when she looked at or was around the captain. She was called a whore by many, but the true is the only man she ever let she her naked body let and sleep with was her captain.
"Greetings captain" Scarlet said. Despite being second in command to only the captain himself and had known him longer than any other, she was rather nervous around him.
"What do I owe the pleasure of your company?"
"Well captain…" She said still nervous.
"I asked to you call me by my name when we were alone. Does that make you uncomfortable?"
"No! Not at all."
"Come her" he said signaling her. She walked over rather slowly. "If calling me by my name doesn't bother you, then…"
"I am sorry Lucifer." Scarlet said her face turning a light red. She thanked God her black fur hide her redness. He smiled pulling her towards him. He gave her a kiss on the check then started kissing her neck. She felt his hand on her waist. She guided his hand to her shorts. He moved his lips to hers. Outside of Lucifer's quarters there was a tall black cat. He was standing leaning against the wall next to the door. He was third in command. He knew what was going on inside. He was one of the few. He smiled to himself. He felt honored he got to insure his captain and his superior got to enjoy making love.
Paulo grumbled. He was furious. He was going to give to Commodore Lucy a piece of his mind for making him stay till night helping the crew take care of the slaves. He bumped a naval officer. He saluted.
"At ease and follow me!" the officer ordered. Paulo follow him. They walked into a room. There was Charles, Lucy, Albert, and Alex. The officer saluted then turned and left.
"Private Paulo" Admiral Albert started. "I heard you found the missing puppy."
"Yes sir!" Paulo answered.
"Is that all you have to report?"
"No sir, I have more" Paulo smirked.
