Once they arrived at the island and the ship was docked, the command was given for the gangplank to be lowered and the two new recruits walked down it and set out into the town (while Benn just jumped over the ship's railing). If the Deathflower was in the town, as he had explained to the two newbies earlier (though they were too involved with their own obnoxious jokes to listen very well), it wouldn't be overly-difficult to find her, since the town itself was fairly small.
The two inexperienced pirates immediately ran off and made their way obnoxiously into the town. Benn sighed a little and watched them but didn't stop them, since he knew no matter what they did they would probably only get in the way anyway. He, on the other hand, opted for doing it the right way--quietly, calmly, and almost invisibly.
The two new recruits didn't take long before finding someone to take back to the ship, though they weren't even sure themselves that it was the right person. They had heard that the girl they were after was related to their captain, but they were not been paying much attention when being shown her poster; so when only ten minutes later they saw a red-haired girl, they immediately assumed she must be the one they were after. Having gagged and tied her despite her furious struggling, they began to make their way back to the ship.
Apparently Benn had been right in assuming they would just get in the way. He caught sight of them carrying their false prize back to their ship and took a moment to stare at them as he thought about stopping them. Fortunately, he re-thought it and decided they would only continue to be in the way; besides, what could they do? Let their captive go free so she could run off and sic the Navy on them? He'd just let the captain deal with it.
Benn himself, of course, had better luck than the rookies; maybe this was because he was more experienced (or because he wasn't an idiot). Of course, it did take him a bit longer than 10 minutes, since he didn't snatch the first girl he saw.
Pretty soon he realized that the number of corners and alleys he hadn't been by was starting to end. He had checked most of the town, but he knew that was useless if she wasn't even IN the town. He was about to go check the inns on the outskirts of the town when he came across a girl coming out of a shop, walking and chattering pleasantly with a couple of other young adults. Benn paused to examine her for a moment. Yes, yes it was indeed the Deathflower herself. He had definitely seen those empty-looking eyes before; and when she smiled at her companions, he saw a glimpse of her brother's simple, unaffected joy in her.
When they walked by his alley, Benn waited for them to go by just slightly. Then he reached out and used one swift, smooth motion to grab the unsuspecting girl by the waist and mouth. Pulling her back into the alley, he deftly wrapped a gag around her mouth, just tightly enough so that she couldn't scream, then tied her hands behind her back. It was a good thing he was so fast with the gagging, because the expression on the girl's face suggested that her scream was loud and high-pitched...and it would carry. He carefully hoisted her up over his shoulder and started back to the ship, just as invisibly and quietly as he had come into town.
The girl struggled desperately, as one might expect. Benn had to grab her by the back of her legs a few times. "Careful, you'll hurt yourself," he warned her once when she nearly slipped from his shoulder and onto the ground. He carefully readjusted her, grinning in amusement. The girl attempted to knee him in the chest, but that had even less effect than her first approach: Benn simply looked down at her knee, shrugged, and kept walking. Screaming through her gag was impossible, especially since it made her choke. After awhile she yielded to her new ordeal by simply going limp.
Benn felt her body flop over on his shoulder, and wondered if she had passed out. "Are you awake?" he asked in a low tone, trying to determine whether she was still conscious. The only response he got was a soft squeal of fear, but it was good enough for him. She was indeed awake. He took care that her limp body was secure on his shoulder as he easily found his way back to the docks and re-boarded the pirate ship via gangplank.
