CHAPTER SIX

Madame Minuit's mouth hung wide and slack with amazement.The other pirates also looked up, their eyes murderous."GET THEM! Madame Minuit screeched, finally finding her voice.None of the pirates needed to be told twice.

"Run?" Fitzwilliam asked, by now used to their standard "Plan B."

"Run," Jack agreed, tired of the fact that this64was now their standard "Plan B. Someday, he wouldn't have to run from anyone. Someday he would have his own ship and sail the seas freely and not fear a single soul....The five boys ran back the way they had come, up the stairs and down the hall to the office whose window they had climbed through. But a heavy wind must have blown in--the door to the office had banged shut and was now securely locked.

"What now?" Tumen asked, suspecting he knew the answer.

"Go down fighting?" Jack suggested bravely.

"Who's going down?" Jean demanded, grinning and drawing his sword.

"Let's get these mauvais types! Vive Nouvelle Orleans Vive le Barnacle!"Mates. Let's go, meet 'em head on!" Jack said, drawing his silver sword.

Everyone looked surprised when Jack and his friends burst through the double doors of the great hall."Come to meet your fate, oui? Madame Minuit said, grinning with sparkling white teeth. "So be it. Attack!"Left-Foot Louis, with a knife in each hand, made immediately for Jean and Tumen. He wasn't skilled the way Fitzwilliam was in two-handed fighting...but he was big. And fast. And strong. And joined by two other Pirate Guards.Tumen took the left side of him, Jean the right. Constance paced this way and that, hissing and spitting as though she very much wanted to join the fight."En garde!" Jean shouted.Meanwhile, Madame Minuit curled her hands like claws. Lightning flashed outside.

Her snakes began to appear, crawling down her arms from her back and neck."You escaped me once, you'll not escape me again!" she hissed at Tim.*"I think we have a little disagreement on that point, ma'am," the boy taunted.He threw his knife. It whistled through the air and buried itself right between the eyes of one of the snakes. Madame screeched and the serpent fell to the ground with a thump.Another knife appeared in his hand, ready to throw. It was a little trick he had picked up in the dockyards of London and could now put to good use.Madame Minuit pulled out a dagger of her own.Tim smiled. He had been waiting for this fight for some time now. Meanwhile, Jack and Fitzwilliam found themselves engaged in battle with the furious Pirate Guard police chief and four of his subordinates. Each had multiple weapons.Jack looked around worriedly. His crew was fighting incredibly well, with new moves and skills they had picked up while adventuring with him. But they were still outnumbered and out-weaponed.At least Jack's silver cutlass was holding up pretty well--but this was probably the one time in his life he would have preferred steel to precious metal--the steel would have been stronger.Silverback was the only pirate not actively engaging anyone. He just stood in the rear, looking back and forth at each of the fights, as if trying to decide which one to join.
