Hours later, a quartet of heavily armed, heavily laden ships steamed through the early dawn. A cluster of escort vessels matched their speed and course, though most would peel off soon and go their separate ways, long before they reached the hidden, steam-shrouded island that was their destination.

“I can’t believe we stole the entire treasure fleet,” Morgan shook his head, leaning heavily on the ship’s railing. “This was the stupidest thing I’ve ever done. I almost died. Twice.”

“Told you my plan would work.” Pain still traced Esmeralda’s voice, but it just made pulling off the whole scheme even more fulfilling.

He grunted. “Slip our people into the workforce. Distract everyone with a fake attack on Drake and the docks. Meanwhile, they’ve been getting into position so that when the army responds to the disaster, we can take control.”

“And don’t forget, loading those spirit reactor things onto the new dreadnaught—and sticking a whole bunch of explosives to them.” She had no idea whether destroying the containers had freed the spirits, or killed them. But either way, she figured they'd be better off.

And she hoped, when she finally saw Jone again, the woman would approve.

The former barkeep chuckled deep in his throat, then washed it down with another long draught. “Blew even that hulking monster of a warship straight to Gravekeeper Jones’ Abyss.” He saluted her with the near-empty bottle. “And, like you said, we gave that Drake a bloody big black eye. Or two.” He paused, took another drink. “This was all still really stupid. Suicidally stupid. And I lost my bar. Can’t go back to Lisboa now.”

She laughed. It stung. She didn’t care. “But you had fun. And now you’re filthy, filthy rich.”

He shook his head, voice a bit somber. “For all the good it’ll do us. We’re still going to lose this fight. He’ll catch up to us eventually, especially after this. Doubt we’ll even get to spend through it all.”

“That depends on how quickly we spend it.” Esmeralda clasped him on the shoulder as she straightened and walked past. “Besides, I have to disagree. I didn’t do this intending to go down to Drake. Things are going to change. He and Elizabeth...they’re not going to win. I’m sure of it.”

Morgan eyed her. “I guess you know something I don’t.” After a moment, he grunted and nodded. “You mean Bellamy? Or...you’re talking about that girl. Jonelise. But Drake and everyone else keeps saying she’s dead. How do you know something different?”

“I don’t,” the pirate captain shrugged. Then smiled. “But I have faith.” She tossed her empty bottle over the railing as she sauntered away. “I know there’s two people out there, two people way better than me, who can turn this thing around.” She paused. “Abyss, maybe even three. And I’m going to see this through right alongside them.”

And, as always, I’ll do the dirty work no one else wants to. Because someone has to. And because, even as far back as I can remember...I never was afraid to get my hands dirty for the people I care about.
