“Capitaine! Capitaine!” a distant voice shouted.

“Well, sounds like we have news,” Davy Jones taunted his captives. The three glowering mermen remained in their cages nearby: King Nereus, Tyndaris the warrior, and old Pomodori.

Jones glanced over curiously as his squid-headed boatswain raced into the Coral Palace throne room. He could see by the wild flailing of the tentacles atop the former Frenchman’s head that he was in a state of agitation.

“Capitaine!”

“It had better be good tidings, Lebrec.”

“Oui, Capitaine!” The ugly but loyal fellow skidded to a halt. “Monsieur Carnahan sent me, sir! You were right about Taormina.”

Jones shot to his feet with a grin. “Ha! You found the brats that took my orb?”

He nodded eagerly, tentacles whipping about. “We just received reports of de sea and de weather acting verra strange in a cove near Isola Bella. A storm blew out of nowhere, and moments later—poof!—it blew away.”

“Aha, so the little devils have been experimenting with my Atlantean trinket, then.” Jones scowled with jealousy to have missed the demonstration, but shrugged it off. “Tell me more.”

“A great waterspout dropped from de clouds, Capitaine, so we followed it,” Lebrec continued. “It led us right to them.”

“Excellent,” Jones growled. “Now all we need is the full moon…” His thoughts churning like the deadly currents off Cape Horn, Jones considered his next move. “Pinpoint the cove’s coordinates and tell Carnahan to ready the men.”

“We’ll be going ashore, Capitaine?” Lebrec asked eagerly, all his squidy tentacles pausing to hear the answer.

“Indeed, we are, Mr. Bosun. In two nights’ time. And we won’t be comin’ back empty-handed.”
