"Have a seat, mate" Blackbeard said, motioning to the half barrel he had placed near his desk for just such a purpose. "Tell me, do you know where the boy is?"

Shocked, Fang replied "Lucius? What do you mean?"

"I mean, I think you've rather taken a liking to him, sort of like a little brother, someone you have to look out for. And I think you probably heard his cries when I threw him overboard. And I think you probably hauled him up and have him hidden somewhere. Am I right?"

"Blackbeard, I..."

"Am I right?"

Silence from Fang.

"I don't want to hurt him. I need his help"

A questioning look on Fang's face.

"And his forgiveness" said Blackbeard.
