She bit back the words that she could take care of herself , knowing she would need someone’s help to confront the wicked Earl. She knew that he would be all too happy to have her under his control again.

Elletra walked out and headed for the bridge, her mind carefully mulling over the events since she had arrived on Silver Skies. She shuddered to think the Earl was behind ALL of it.

As she made it on the top deck, she saw Hawkeye hollering at some men to be heard over the roaring wind. Jerem would be pushing the engines for all they have. Elletra noticed some men in putting on strange glossy suits.

She walked up to Hawkeye and waited for him to stop yelling. He turned to her and smiled tightly, “Hello.”

She could tell he was tense. She decided best not to approach the subject of the Earl. “What are those suits?”

“We… obtained them from a New Tortuga ship once. They’re called Squirrel Jumpers. We’ll use them to board the ship we’re trying to intercept.”

She smiled, “Can I try one on?”
