Snippet #1616640

Reap heard Sandra yell as a ship came into view. He turned and began to give the order to intercept when he found Rachel staring at him. "What?" He asked. She looked at the new ship on the horizon. "We haven't had enough time to prepare, to many unknown factors. " Though Reap knew she was right he wouldn't admit to it so easily. "Bullshit, its a simple snag and bag." She looked at him, an expression on her face that said she wassent guiding the ship one inch. Jimmy came up and placed a hand on Reap's shoulder. "She has a point, you don't think we might just be rushing in? With all the witnesses, the guards...this is going to be a feat even for us. You may be acting brashly Caption." Reap sighed, surrendering to there pushing. "Fine, she is going on land now...our chance is past anyway." He said as the ship pulled into the docks. "Surely sshe will be here for a while, maybe a day or two. We will wait for the perfect timing. Jimmy, tell the crew to stand down." Reap turned to Rachel. "You would do best to remember that I give the orders round here Rach. Next time you flat out disobey one like that I'll throw you overboard. " He turned to the now assembling crew on deck. "What are you Sea rats standing about for!? Man the sails!." He ordered.

A few minutes later 'The NightShadow pulled up to shore, cruising into the section of docks farthest away from the queens and with many other ships between the two. It came to a light stop, just shy of hitting the ground. Reap walked up to the bow and looked down, he turned to his crew. "Men, tonight when the suns sets you can go ashore. If I remember correctly this city as a tavern of sorts, go there. Have a drink or two. Remember though, if your not on this ship when that sun rises you WILL be left behind." The crew nodded and cheered, no doubt happy that they could walk on solid ground for the first time in months. Reap turned, to find Jimmy and Sandra behind him. "Jimmy, I want you to find out exactly how long the queen will be in town. Sandra, your job is to test what kind of skill there guards have, but wait till nightfall. We will be less noticeable then." They nodded, and went about there daily duitys. Mostly just killing time. Reap climbed the crow's nest. Right up to the top where he sat contemplating. He would most likely stay in that same position till nightfall, just thinking about the past, and the near future.
