Chapter 24: Saving the D.E.I.C. ship.

“The moment that we are close enough to send a signal, we will send a distress call. I, as a diversion, will go on board while you --” looking at both Pierre and Roberto “-- Will come from behind and free the captain and his crew. Easy.” She shrugged her shoulders casually. Roberto thought his heart almost stopped at the ridiculous plan.

“There is no way that I will allow you to go on that ship again,” said Roberto abruptly, glaring at her.

“Now wait, Roberto. That sounds like a great plan.”

“No.”

“Do you have a better idea?” Pierre asked with a grin. His friend was smitten.

“Please, Captain, we can help these men and I can make a better diversion than you can. My life will be safe. I mean, I am surrounded with D.E.I.C. men. There are only ten pirates. We can take them out.” Her logic was too simple for him. How could he put her back, knowing what he had just discovered?

All eyes were on him, the food forgotten, as they waited.
