Page 122

A murmur spreads through the crowd and the group nervously starts to spread. Rico can make out repeated mentions of "The Captain" coming down the deck. The group is now in happy agreement and falling into order. "The Captain will know what to do with the hostage."

Rico shrinks back in his bindings. He looks around, but the cell is too small to go anywhere and the gathered group is blocking the only way out. He knows he'd never get anywhere, even if he could destroy the cell door and run.

Rico clamps his eyes shut as the light swivels, the clomping of boots enters the hallway, and the group parts down the middle. A voice rises up from the darkness, "It's a good look for you."

Rico quickly opens his eyes and blinks away the remaining spots of light. Through the dim room, Rico can make out the sight of Blue smiling down upon him, a crew of pirates gleefully surrounding her.

END CHAPTER 3

Author's Notes:

It's always good to end a chapter on a chilling cliffhanger. And, phew, Chapter 3 was a long one. Rico has been through and seen some serious stuff this chapter, but it's surely smooth sailing from here on out!

I'll start working on collecting Chapter 3's pages and text into a book for our $4 Patrons like with Chapter 1, and once Chapter 4 is over, I'll put the second issue up for sale. Stay tuned!
