Calypso's Rage
Ten
The next morning I was up before any of my crew as was normal for me. I walked out on deck and breathed in the cool morning air. Not many people were moving around in town and the sea was calm. But there was a new ship docked in the port.
It wasn't any pirate ship I knew of. But it didn't look like a normal Navy ship.
"What is it?" Jack asked appearing as if summoned
I pointed at the ship "What do you think of that?"
He studied the ship "Can't say for sure but I get the feeling that ship is not good for us."
I nodded, "I'm going to take a look around town. Keep the lads subdued until one of us heads out to the sea."
I jumped off the ship and didn't turn to look back at Jack. I headed towards Kane's ship and found the same man from last night standing on the deck.
He looked at me surprised, "Captain Caspian, what are you doing here?"
"There's a new ship in the port it's not one I recognize." I said
The man nodded "Kane doesn't generally come out of his cabin the day after he drinks but I shall make sure he knows."
"Thank you" I replied and walked away
The next ship I visited what Estella's since I didn't know were Sawyer was. Estella's ship was built to be fast but there were hidden dangers in her hull.
"Each ship matches its Captain." I said with a chuckle
There was no one on deck so I climbed up and knocked on the door to the captain's quarters.
"Hello Cas." Estella's voice came from behind me
I turned "Glad to see I'm the only captain that wakes early. Where were you hiding?"
She pointed at the crow's nest and I nodded "Did you see the ship then."
"Aye"
"I've already warned Kane but what about Sawyer?"
"Sawyer left last night."
"That's good what do you think of the ship?"
"It hasn't done anything yet but I saw three men get off of it and head up to the Lady's place."
"She would have warned us if she was expecting company so a surprise visit. I was going to look around town but maybe the Lady's house would be a better place to look. Do you want to accompany me?"
Estella nodded "If it was someone she wanted us to know about she would put them in a room we would be able to see."
I smiled "Then let us be on our way."
It wasn't any pirate ship I knew of. But it didn't look like a normal Navy ship.
"What is it?" Jack asked appearing as if summoned
