Calypso's Rage
Twenty-seven
The next morning I could tell the crew was itching to back on the seas. I smiled and Jack raised an eyebrow, "Something funny, Cass?"
I shrugged, "It's nice to see that they're all still sea rats."
He looked at the crew, "Thats how you picked them isn't it."
I smiled secretively, "I need one last thing from Annice then we can be off."
"Without your captain outfit?" He asked looking at my plain shirt and trousers.
"Well I can't wear it all the time" I said as I jumped from the ship.
Alexander's ship hadn't left yet but it seemed that Kade's and Estella's had. I walked to Annice's house ignoring the urge to wander around town. Once the house was in site I could hear the sounds of Annice conversing with Alexander. It would be to awkward to walk in after last night. So I undid the binding on my chest and fixed my hair in a different fashion.
After wrapping my binding around my arm under my sleeve I knocked on the door. Once again the butler opened the door and looked at me suspiciously.
I smiled, "I need to see Annice."
"She has visitors right now." He replied
"Oh that doesn't matter. She'll always want to see me."
He looked doubtful but he let me in and led me to where Annice was entertaining Alexander. Annice stopped speaking and every head turned to look at us.
"I told her you had guests but she said you would want to see her." The butler spoke
Annice nodded, "She was correct, Thank you."
He nodded and shut the door behind me.
"Hello, Annice its been awhile." I said
"What are you doing here Cassidy?" She asked tentatively
"Caspian needs his ring back." I responded
She looked at Alexander and his companions. Alexander's face was unreadable and his companions looked lost.
"Are you a part of Caspian's crew?" Johnathan asked
I shrugged, "Something like that. Though I've never worked on Calypso's Rage."
"Is Caspian leaving today?" Annice asked changing the subject
I nodded, "You know how Caspian and his crew gets when they've been ashore to long."
"Right, I should probably be more surprised at that he stayed ashore so long."
