Jiara: My Mistakes Were Made For You

Part 12: Sailing Away

They were taken to a dark warehouse in the car in which they were loaded. They were sitting on the ground. They were not tied, nor were their mouths taped. But none of them had the strength to stand up or the motivation to speak. There were two men outside of the door, guarding them. They could hear them talk, they heard them discussing how to get Sarah to Guadeloupe since the Navigator had already left after reloading the gold. They couldn't risk dealing with another escape attempt from Sarah since they've already attracted a lot of attention. It was gone, the gold was on its way to Ward.

There was nothing inside. Just a small window that doesn't let much sunlight come in. 

"I've had enough with warehouses." Kie finally said. "We wouldn't even be in this situation if it wasn't for me."

"Are you seriously blaming yourself for being abducted?" JJ asked. 

"Oh my god! You were, weren't you?" Sarah said turning to her. "What happened?"

"Was it Limbrey?" Pope asked. "Did they do anything to you?"

"No, nothing." Kie said scoffing. She really didn't want to talk about this. She felt like an idiot, she was kidnapped, like a fucking kid. If she was at the docks, if JJ was at the docks, they could've get the gold. They could be celebrating by now. But they were sitting in a cold, dark warehouse, goldless and hopeless. 

"That bastard Leo Diaz tried to rip off money from her parents." JJ said. 

"Shit!" Kie said. "They don't know he doesn't have me anymore, shit!"

"Would  they actually pay him?" John B asked.

"Sounded like they would..." JJ said.

"How did you hear them—" Kie was interrupted by the door opening with a loud voice. 

They all got up quickly, John B held Sarah's hand, pulling her closer to himself. The two guardians were standing in front of them, looking them up and down. 

"Take blondie to the boat." one of them said to the other.

"How about the rest?" the other one asked. 

"Get rid of them..." he stopped for a while. "Actually, I'll talk to them alone. Teach them a lesson." he said pointing to John B and JJ. One of them rushed to Sarah, grabbed her and pushed John B who was holding her tight.

"Alright kid, move!" he said to Sarah who was resisting him. Just when he got Sarah, pulling her away from the pogues, an arrow pierced his leg as the man tugged at the other. He paused for a second, checking what was stuck in his leg. It was then that Sarah seized a chance to escape from his grasp, just as she was about to hit him when she realized that the man had fallen to the ground by himself, his eyes slowly closing. As he turned to the others in amazement, the other man looked around to see where the arrow had come from. Just then, an arrow pierced his shoulder as well. Just like the other, his eyes slowly drifted, as if his legs gave way and he collapsed to the ground.

Before the pogues could say anything, two different men came into the room. They stopped at the door, looking inside checking if anyone else was there. 

"What are you waiting for, kids?" said one of them finally. "Go, go, go!"

The pogues looked at each other, they had no reason to trust this guys. But they had saved them, for some reason. Going for it and dealing with whatever happens seemed more clever than staying here, waiting for nothing. 

As the men began to run, the pogues followed.

"Be quick," said one of the men. "They won't stay unconscious for long."
