And now here he was, feeling slightly foolish and very awkward, trying to charm Angela into a better mood. There was probably some divine justice in this particular whim of fate—as well as a certain macabre humor.

“So,” Angela was saying, drawing his attention back to her, “what sort of infamous entertainment could you possibly provide that would not horrify me too much?”

“You’ll see. Wait until we’re anchored. Tonight will be a celebration for the crew, since they’ve been at sea so long without one. Tomorrow is soon enough to start work.”

“I suppose the entire crew will be ashore?”

“Except the watch shift.” Kit paused, not really wanting to remind her how precarious a situation they would be in while the ship was anchored. Once the Sea Tiger was beached, they were almost completely helpless until she was afloat again. If a roving man-o’-war happened by, they would be especially vulnerable to capture. To stave off that possibility, he intended to anchor in a secluded cove with plenty of trees and mount his guns atop earthworks. Not only government ships, but other pirates might take advantage of any ship found in that condition, and he knew as well as they did that to depend upon luck was to invite disaster. He’d almost been trapped that way once before, and he had no intention of it happening again.

“So here you are,” a resonant voice said behind him, and Kit turned to see Turk approaching. Dark, almond-shaped eyes moved from Kit to Angela, then back. “I should have divined that the pair of you would find a peaceful locality in which to converse without interruption.”

“Of course,” Kit pointed out, “we’re being interrupted now.”

“Ah, and so you are.” Turk’s smile flashed. “How dismaying for you. Do I dare inquire as to the nature of the conversation? You both seem rather calm, and I can detect no blood spilled upon the decks.”

“I hope you haven’t come to rectify that situation. Lately your conversation has drawn enough blood.”

“Testy again, Kit? Can it be that my opinion is of interest to you at last?”

Turk was well aware that their recent conversations had all concerned Angela and ended in impasses that neither could resolve. He had stated this very fact to Kit only that morning, and their disagreement on what should be done with the girl still rankled. He gave an impatient shrug.

“Your opinion is always of interest to me, Turk. You know that. I rarely agree with it, but at least you manage to be entertaining most of the time.”

“I’m devastated. Not all the time?”

“One can’t be perfect.”
