Sam grabbed her shoulder as she sat against the wall, looking up at the gun Daniel had pointed at her face. She winced as her shoulder throbbed in pain, biting her lip to keep herself from crying out. The blood from the bullet wound seeped out and trickled down her arm.

"I… I don't have the faintest idea as to what you're talking about." She said quietly.

Daniel grabbed her other arm and yanked her to her feet. "Cut the crap. I know you're a member of the Sirius. You think I haven't been keeping an eye on every ship that's come into the port?"

He jerked her out of the office fiercely as Sam cried out from the pain in her shoulder. She stumbled alongside him as he dragged her down the hall. Blood from her shoulder dripped down her arm and onto the floor.

"Where… where are you taking me?" She asked, her voice barely above a whisper.

"Down to one of the rooms in the dungeon. I thought maybe those monsters had held you prisoner on their ship, when I saw you getting off their ship, but you've likely been helping this whole time. Breaking into some of my officer's homes. I liked you Sarah, you seemed different than all of the other girls around here. I was going to even make you my wife."

"Your wife?"

"Yes. But now you will never earn that prestigious title now. I'll keep you down in the dungeon."

"Why not… just kill me then?" While she had no idea why she was even asking, she couldn't help but to. He was going to try to kill all of the other pirates, why would he spare her, even if for a few minutes?

The grin that he shot down at her sent shivers up her spine and made her want to retch. "While you may be a dirty pirate, you are still an attractive one. I shall keep you around for my amusement, and for when I need… companionship."

Sam struggled harder against Daniel as he shot her down a crooked smile, causing her to instantly feel nauseous at the very thought. Blood trickled down her arm and dripped down onto the floor as Daniel dragged her down the hall, leaving what she assumed would be a decent trail behind them. She wasn't sure how bad she'd been shot, but she did know that she was starting to feel weak and tired, which she knew wasn't a good sign. She wasn't sure where exactly he was taking her, but she didn't know how long she'd remain conscious at the rate that they were going.

"Besides," Daniel muttered, "your friends are probably lurking around here somewhere. I'm sure they'll come and say hello before too long." Sam swallowed thickly as he yanked her arm painfully forward, pulling her down the hallway. The last thing she wanted was for the guys to come to get her, and ended up getting caught in the process. That would be her worst nightmare, worse than what she might have to go through.

In a last ditch effort, Sam attempted to yank her arm out of Daniel's grip, hoping to be able to detach herself from him and escape that way. Daniel held a firm grip on her, and as she yanked back, he grabbed her shoulder that had been shot and squeezed. Sam screamed and practically fell to the floor in pain as Daniel continued to squeeze her shoulder.

"You're mine now you whore." Daniel growled at her.

Sam heard as a gun cocked behind them, causing Daniel to stop dead in his tracks. As he went to turn at the sound, the gun fired and a bullet slammed into his body. She and Daniel stumbled to the ground. She tore her arm away from his grasp as she scooted away from him, Daniel grabbing his side and howling in pain.

Eduardo stepped out of the shadows, his pistol smoking. "Find your own woman. This one's mine."

Sam grabbed her shoulder as she gazed up at Eduardo, who had his eyes on Daniel, his pistol still trained on him. Nathan came up from behind Eduardo and went to Daniel, taking the pistol from his coat pocket and kicking it across the room. He then went over to Sam's side.

"How you doing kid?" He whispered.

"I've had my better days." She replied honestly.

Daniel sat up and touched his side gingerly. "That was a rather poor shot."

Eduardo's mouth kicked into a slight grin. "You got lucky, she was in the way. Didn't care to shoot her."

"Well it's a little late for that one." As if on cue, Sam yelped in pain as Nathan helped her to her feet. The already fierce look on Eduardo's face darkened considerably as he saw the blood soaking her arm. He stormed forward and yanked Daniel to his feet, shoving the pistol to his temple. Nathan took the bandana off his head and pressed it against Sam's shoulder as she watched Eduardo slam Daniel against the wall, pistol pressed firmly to his head.

"What the hell did you do?" Eduardo growled.

Daniel looked rather satisfied with Eduardo's reaction as he grinned. "I found her trifling through my things. So I shot her."

Eduardo pressed the pistol harder into his temple and tightened his grip on Daniel's throat. "You son of a bitch."

"Eduardo," Sam chimed in, "Don't. I got the files we need."

Daniel spun his head around immediately and glared at her. "What files?"

"The ones proving that you didn't have the navy's permission to attack pirates. The file that's going to get you in a lot of trouble."

"Why you little bitch…" Daniel started, but was cut short when Eduardo squeezed down on his throat.

"Don't ever talk to her like that you evil bastard." Eduardo snarled fiercely. Down the hall, Sam could hear the sounds of voices shouting, running in their direction.

Despite losing some of his color, Daniel smiled again. "Ah. That'll be some of my friends coming to help me."

Nathan had Sam press his bandana into her wound and went over to Eduardo. "We have to get out of here. Now."

Eduardo loosened his hold on Daniel and brought him forward. As Daniel was about to boast about their defeat, Eduardo slammed the butt of his gun on the back of Daniel's neck, knocking him unconscious. Eduardo turned to Sam and practically threw her over his shoulder as he and Nathan ran down the hall towards the exit. Sam bounced on Eduardo's shoulder, tasting blood in her mouth as she fiercely bit her lip to keep from screaming from the pain.

They crashed through to the kitchen, and ran straight through, ignoring the bewildered looks of the kitchen staff. Gun shots echoed, kicking up dirt behind them as they exited the house and ran through the yard, not looking back. They were quickly followed by Morgan, Christopher, and Thomas, who popped out of the bushes and fired back. The men chasing after them stopped as the three men fired shots back at them, and once Eduardo, Nathan and Sam were far enough away, the three of them threw their guns down and followed suit after their friends.

Once they were a considerable distance away, the gun shots from the other side stopped. The group ran into a dark alleyway and stopped to catch their breaths. Eduardo carefully lowered Sam from off of his shoulder, holding her close as he inspected the wound on her shoulder. Even without seeing the back of his shirt, she could see where the blood from her shoulder had soaked him. She teetered slightly as blood rushed to her head, and Eduardo steadied her. His expression returning from the stark, dark expression he'd had with Daniel, to concern and worry. Christopher came over then, seeing the blood on both her and Eduardo, and began assessing her.

"We need to get her back to the hotel where my medical supplies are, I won't be able to tell how bad it is until then." He said, gingerly touching the shot.

Sam reached down into her front and pulled the files out, handing them over to Morgan. "Here are the files we needed. These should be enough for Leonardo."

Morgan grabbed the documents from her and opened them to inspect the contents. The girth of his smile increased as he flipped from page to page. Some of her blood had stained the top corner of the documents, but from Morgan's expression, it didn't seem to affect them that much. He went over and ruffled Sam's hair as he tucked the documents away.

"You did good kid. Now we will go back to the hotel to gather our things. Christopher will tend to Sam's wounds when we get back to the ship. With that guy still out for us, we need to get the hell out of here."

They all nodded in agreement as Eduardo knelt down in front of Sam. "Get on my back."

"I've already ruined your shirt."

Eduardo tensed as he crouched in front of her. "It's just a damned shirt."

"I'm fine Eduardo I can walk."

He glared at her over his shoulder. "Wasn't a request sweetheart. Get on. Now."

Starting to feel slightly woozy anyway, she didn't put up a fight as she sheepishly climbed onto his back.
