Chapter 18

Sammy settled into his seat at the bar talking with some of the crew, when he saw Earl Zane Maxwell come into the inn. He made his way up the stairs passing the bar. A few moments later he saw Captain Shears walk up the same stairs. Sammy nodded to his men at what he just saw.

“If I don’t come back down within ten minutes, get a message to the Capt’n on what we just saw. I’m going to see what I can find out,” he gave instructions to the crew.

Sammy made his way up the back stairs and wandered down the hallway, staying in the shadows. He put his ear to the doors as he past them, trying to find the room that the Earl was staying in. He wondered what the connection was between the two.

Zane had just closed the door to his room at the inn; when it was thrust open and Captain Shears sauntered in. The Captain made his way to the chair by the fire and sat down. Zane opened the door and looked down the hallway; making sure that nobody saw the Captain come into his room. When he saw that the coast was clear he shut the door again and turned towards the Captain with a scowl on his face.

“What are you doing here Shears?”

“My men have informed me that you have been to see our good friend Captain Thornhill. I have come to find out what information you have found out. Have they found Mallory yet?”

“I have no information for you and I never will.”

“But we had a deal Maxwell.”

“When you kidnapped Ivy all deals became void. If you go anywhere near her again I will destroy all that you have achieved.”

“Well, well, it seems Lady Ivy has quite the fan club. Has she shared her favors with you too?” the Captain inquired.

Zane advanced on Shears, grabbing him by his overcoat and pulled him out of the chair. He swung his arm back and around; connecting his fist with Shears face. The Captain never saw it coming.

“You will never speak of her that way again. Do I make myself clear Captain?” Zane said as he punched the Captain in the gut. He let go of the him quickly, walking to the other side of the room. The Captain struggled back up to his feet clutching his stomach.

“You are double crossing the wrong man,” Shears told Maxwell.

“Is that a threat Captain?”

“No, My Lord, that is a promise. Also, you will hold up on your end of the bargain or else the great Captain Thornhill and his lovely Lady Ivy will pay with their lives.”

Shears did not wait for a reply from Maxwell as he opened the door and left the room.

Maxwell poured himself a drink as he dunked his hand into the cold water that was left out for him. He would have to ask the innkeeper for some fresh water to clean up with later. He has gotten himself in quite a mess.
