Derek shook his head. He woke up to the door opening. He watched as Scarlet closed Lucifer's quarter's door. He shrugged as she walked back to the lower deck. He closed his eyes to hear the door open.

"Aye Captain" Derek said standing at attention.

"Derek, you look exhausted. Perhaps you should rest." Lucifer said placing his right hand on Derek's shoulder. Derek nodded and headed to the lower deck himself. Lucifer walked around up the stairs to the deck above his quarters. He saw Sam (Yes that Sam). "Sam, you been at the wheel, get some rest I will take it from here." He said. Same gave a nod and let Lucifer take the wheel. Sam headed the opening on the deck leading the lower deck. He stepped on the first step only pushed out the way by another pirate.

"Captain! There be a fight on board."

"Sam, take the wheel for me." Lucifer said leaving the wheel. Same ran up grabbing the wheel. Lucifer went to the underdeck. He turned the corner to see a crowd gather and fight in the middle. He shoved two pirates out of his way like a cowboy opening saloon doors. "What is the meaning of this?" he asked disgust and anger in his tone. He gritted his teeth. Scarlet stood blood dripping from her mouth and a bruise on her face. The other pirate Surge had what looked like claw marks on his chest ripping his shirt and one on his cheek. Surge's face was flinching and Scarlet was holding her stomach. "I don't give a flying fuck who started this shit or what the fuck it's about!" he yelled furious. Only those who hadn't been serving on board long assumed Scarlet would be given favoritism, but those who served Lucifer for years knew that was myth. Lucifer walked up Surge. "You call yourself a man hitting woman for that fact attacking a fellow crewmember?!" Lucifer barked. His saliva landed on Surge's face. Lucifer turned to Scarlet. "And you! You're a god damn veteran I expect you to act like it!" he barked. He grabbed her by throat throwing her to ground hard. "My quarters NOW!" he barked stepping on her tail. As soon as he lifted his foot she crawled away eventually getting to her feet. Lucifer turned to Surge. "Go get cleaned up! You're taking the wheel till we dock!" he said his tone still irritated. Lucifer walked back towards the stairs the main deck. "Back to your positions!" he yelled without turning around. Lucifer slammed his quarter's door shut. Scarlet was kneeling in front of his chair. He sat down and looked down at her face. She looked up and their eyes met. His glare met her tears.

"They're from the pain, captain" she said rubbing her eyes. He grabbed her wrist moving her arm out to the side and noticed blood was still coming from her mouth. He had his gloves in a front pocket on his coat. He grabbed her cheek making her open her mouth. She groaned almost biting on his fingers. Her eyes were squinted. She held her hand to her head. Lucifer placed his hand behind her head. He stopped glaring so he didn't look mad as she blacked out.

Admiral Albert was sitting with his elbows on the table his hands folded in front of his mouth. Paulo was still filling them all in the on the details. The door slammed open. "Their gone" Claire frowned. They all turned to see her slammed the door closed. "The only reason I 'believed' you was because I knew it was only a matter of time"

"So he didn't return home with his daughter?" Albert asked.

"No, and it makes sense why not." Claire said bluntly.

"Well you will continue hunting for the puppy and now for her father. Private Paulo, you are free to serve aboard your commodore's ship. If permitted."

"We welcome the help." Lucy said.

The cold gentle sea breeze flowed through the dog's fur. He was tall German Shepard. He looked down at his ship seeing his crew working busily. On the highest flag was a cross bones of dog's skull gnawing a bone. The ship was known as 'The Cat's Bain'.
