blishment and I’ll have Larry draft us a new tab!”

I scratched my head in curiosity as to what she felt she was going to
accept.  But, if it was safer than the 2,000 Pazoolas, well, I was
happy.  Patting the transport on its side, I turned and followed Tia
Dalma back up the hill.


Tia and I entered her hut (which happened to be bigger on the inside
than it was on the outside…something I was somewhat used to in inter-
dimensional and temporal travels) and gently picked our way around the
piles of sleeping pirates. Had we been watching closer, we would have
seen the three sets of madly waving tentacles trying to alert us to
the pile of Captain Jack(s). As we were watching out for pooped
pirates, however, we did not.

As we headed for the kitchen area, six cutlass points circled around
us and were all held by a Captain Jack. “Now then, Tia darlin’,” Jack
1 started, “there’s a matter here that has our concern.”

Tia looked at me and grinned. She then turned back to Captain 1.
“And what is that, Jack Sparrow,” she coyly asked.

Jack 3 dallied with his blade in our general direction. “We won’t be
seein’ any harm come to one of our own from your conniving trap,
savvy?”

Tia cocked her head and placed her hand around her chin as if she was
thinking. “Harm one of your own? “ Her laugh swept across the room
like waves of an incoming tide. My dear Jack Sparrow, all of your
pirate friends are asleep on the floor! Do you se me harming any of
them?”

Jack 5 tapped the ground at my feet with his blade. “There be one
here not sleeping.”

I looked at Jack 5 directly. He nodded at me. That simple nod told
me everything. Somehow my past had become current knowledge, at
least, amongst the Captain Jack band. Jack 6 sealed the deal. “That’s
right, Sea Goddess. We heard your words with Captain Vulcaniya here
earlier and there is no one going to place her in danger, even if it
is you, Tia Dalma.” He hiccupped and staggered sideways a bit.

Jack 2 nodded. “Aye. If there ever is to be a person endangering
this Captain, well, they will be answerin’ to me first.”

Jack 4 swept his cutlass to the throat of Jack 2. “Ah, y’just wants
in good with the High Sea Piracy firm. We knows your ways.”

Jack 3 nodded. “True, but in that, we knows all of our ways.”

Tia laughed. “Don’t worry, my wonderful friend Jack Sparrow(s).
There is no danger to this lady here.”

Jack 1 weebled his blade in the air. “Aye, you say that now, but we
heard what you threatened her with when the bill couldn’t be met.”

Tia gently placed a finger on the cutlass blade and pushed it
downward. “Captain Jack,” she grinned widely, beetle nut juice
stained teeth showing fully, “can I not have a little fun?” She
turned to me. “My apologies, my dear Captain Vulcaniya. I never
would have done anything truly harmful to you.”

I looked at her and grinned wryly. “Great. Now you tell me.”

Tia laughed again. “Besides, payment has been found. And now, if you
‘gentlemen’ will excuse me for a minute, I must go have Larry write up
a new tab for the evening’s pleasures.”

She floated out of the room with what seemed a waltzing dance step
carrying her along the way. I breathed a pretty good sized sigh.

“Look, Captains,” I started, “let’s talk, Captain to Captain here.
Savvy?”

Six nodding heads was my quick response.

“I appreciate your effort on my behalf to keep me out of harm. But,
guys, here’s the deal. I try to keep the ‘Captain Vulcaniya and the
Golden Rose’ pretty much under the rose, if you follow me.”

Jack 1 grinned. “Aye, that we get.”

“Good. So, I’ve got a big favor to ask you all. Please, *please*,
don’t let any of the other pirates know. Especially you three from
the West Coast. I haven’t been adventuring as a pirate for many years
now. “

Jack 5 clucked gently. “Ah, now Captain Vul…”

I raised a finger in the air to stop him.

5 continued. “Er, Vully…..what I was sayin’ is that you can take the
pirate away from adventurin’, but, you can never take the adventure
out of the pirate…or somethin’ like that.”

I chuckled. “You’ve got me there, Jack. But, I never really quit
adventuring. Just changed the places I have them. And, well, there
are things about a pirating past…”

Jack 3 leaned on his blade and promptly felt himself landing on the
floor. “Sorry about that,” he said. He stood up and sheathed his
cutlass. “You don’t have to tell us about a pirate’s past. We’re
still livin’ it in the present, eh my fellow captains?”

That got a round of chuckles and nods.

Jack 4 decided to toss his hat in the ring and join the conversation.
“Well, as far as I can tell, we won’t have a problem in keepin’ your
secret, Vully. But, as in all such matters, it will cost you.”

I looked at the six Captains before me. “As if I expected anything
else. You’re pirates. It goes with the job. “ I sighed. “Alright,
guys, what do you want to cover this favor?”

To be continued….
