I breathed a sigh of relief when I entered Grant’s chambers and found him missing. Looking around to make sure I was alone, I darted to his desk, rummaging through the papers in search of the maps. Finally, I found them buried in a drawer underneath some old correspondence. Taking out a fresh sheet of paper and a quill, I set out to sketching them, my hand flying across the page before I could even think of my betrayal, of the consequences of my actions. Andrews may have been a spy, but if I went to the Captain, the Lieutenant would tell everyone what was missing beneath my trousers. Word would get out and Grant would lose his credibility, and I would be locked in the brig or thrown overboard. They were just some bloody maps, the edge of some island in the Caribbean.

With trembling hands, it took me almost an hour to complete the copies. Boots thundered behind the door, and I finished up, throwing the original maps back into the desk. I stowed my drawings in my coat pocket, and when Grant opened the door, nothing looked out of place. I pushed a broom across the floor, but he barely said two words to me as he remained locked in conversation with two other officers. Setting my broom down, I dashed downstairs to the galley to retrieve his dinner, a clawing, churning feeling in my gut for what I had done.
