Chapter 4

Kim slowly woke up. She sat up and looked around. She realized this wasn't her room and started to freak out. Kim had no idea where she was. She jumped out of bed and walked around the room. Out of the corner of her eye she saw Jack, and reality hit her. She was kidnapped and held at ransom.

Jack was clinging to his side of the bed. She didn't understand why though because there was so much room left on the bed. She shook it off and went outside. The sun had not risen yet and it was freezing out. She was about to go back inside when she saw something moving. She slowly crept forward to see what it was. She was unsure as to who would be up at this time and was scared to think that it could be another pirate trying to steal the contents on their ship. She moved to a position where she could see him but not so he could see her. Kim was relieved to see that it was just Jerry dancing. She came out of her hiding spot and walked up to Jerry.

"Jerry, you scared me! Why are you up and dancing at this time in the morning?"

"Yo, Kim, What it do?" Jerry asked ignoring Kim's question.

"What it do? Is that even English? Jer, what language are you speaking?"

"Jerry speaks his own language. You understand his sayings the more you hang around him." The voice behind Kim caused her to jump. That voice belonged to the one and only Captain Jack Brewer. The only person who ever truly scared her and the only person she was ever dangerously attracted to, but she would never admit it.

"How do you do that?" Kim asked Jack. Jack walked closer and crossed his arms.

"Do what?"

"I got this one Jack." Jerry gently put his hand on Kim's back and walked her out of Jack's hearing distance. He whispered "Kim, Jack hears, sees and knows everything. There's not one thing you can do on this ship without Jack knowing about it."

"I don't hear, see and know everything Jerry." Jack yelled across to them.

"See! What did I tell you? He's, he's, wait what are we talking about again?"

Kim didn't answer Jerry's question. She just wondered if Jack knew about her engagement. She knew he knew about Brett but just as a boyfriend. There was a huge difference between a boyfriend and a fiancé. She hoped that Jack didn't find out about the wedding. She ultimately had no idea why she didn't want him to know, but that's how she felt. She was shaken out of her thoughts when she heard Jack asking her a question. She didn't realize he moved from one side of the ship to right in front of her.

"Sorry, what?"

"How long have you been up?"

"Oh, I've been up for hours! I'm doing the night watch remember Jack?" Jerry answered Jack's question for Kim.

"No, not you Jerry. I was talking to Kim."

"To answer your answer, I've been awake for about 20 minutes, maybe a half hour. I have a hard time sleeping in places other than my room." Kim said.

"Oh, I know how you feel Kim! Before I became a pirate, mi madre made me sleep over my tia's house. She had a two room house with 12 kids. I had to share a mattress with my cousin Pipito. Pipito. He used to pee the bed. I never slept a dry wink." Jerry shuddered at the memory. Jack put his hand on his shoulder as an apology.

"That seems rough." Kim said sympathetically.

"Jerry, why don't you go to sleep? I'll take over your watch."

"WHOOO! Thanks Jack!" Jerry danced off to his cabin.

"Well, that was, um something?" Kim was at a loss for words when it came to Jerry.

"Yeah, Jerry's a particular taste."

"So um, do you know what time it is? There's no sun dial." Jack looked up at the sky and saw the sun starting to rise.

"It's around 6:30." Kim looked impressed.

"You got to teach me how to do that sometime."

"Maybe, if you're lucky."

"Well, that's probably the last thing I am."

"Why?"

"I got kidnapped by a bunch of pirates, and am held for ransom. I have Brett. I'm going to be running a country before I turn 18. I have no clue what I'm going to do with that and-" Jack cut off Kim.

"You're upset about Brett. Do you not like him?"

"No I love Brett, he's my best friend but I don't-" Kim stopped herself from telling Jack her secret. "Never mind you're not interested in my love life."

"Who says I'm not?"

"Why are you?"

"Why am I what?"

"Interested in my love life."

"I'm not, I'm just curious."

"Well don't be."

"Fine, don't tell me, but I will eventually find out one day."

"Good luck with that!"

"Unlike you, I am pretty lucky. So, I have all the luck I need."

"So, what are we doing today?" Kim asked changing the subject.

"We?" Jack asked in surprise. He was not expecting her to partake in any pirate activities.

"I am stuck on this ship and therefore must go where ever it goes. So, yes, where are we going?" Kim said.

"We are going to Culebra."

"Culebra?"

"Yes it is a famous pirate's lair."

"If it's so famous why go there? Every pirate will be there."

"Yes, but so will their loot."

"Oh no, there will be no pirating while I am on the ship!"

"Come on Kim, one- you are not in charge and have no control here, two- this is our income; this is how we survive."

"Three?"

"How did you know there was a third one?"

"There's always a third one." Kim smirked.

"Three- you said you were a pirate last night." Jack smirked increased while Kim's faded.

"Pirates lie don't they?"

"That would still mean you were a pirate."

"Whatever just don't involve me in your criminal activities." By this time all the pirates except for Jerry came onto the deck to start the day's work.

"Fine, just stay out of our way and you won't be involved."

"That won't be a problem. Just point me to where you bathe yourselves and I'll be out of your way." Jack and the whole crew laughed at Kim. "What?"

"There is no bath on board Kim." Milton said with an amused look on his face.

"How do you guys clean yourself then?"

"We don't!" The whole crew exclaimed.

"That's honestly repulsive. When we get to Calbria I'm going to take a bath in the ocean and if any of you spy both eyes will be ripped from your eye sockets." The whole crew gulped except for Jack.

"It's Culebra, and none of us would be willing to look at your body. That's repulsive." Every pirate was shocked at what Jack said. Kim gave Jack a death glare.

"They'd rather see mine then yours." Kim and Jack just glared into each other's eyes until a smirked appeared on Jack's lips.

"Ahoy me hearties, weigh the anchor, hoist the flag" Jack ordered as he climbed up the ship's wheel and turning it.

"Where to Captain?" Eddie asked.

"To Culebra!"

"Aye!" The crew yelled and did what they were told.
