The days continued to pass and our patience was getting lower each day. So Arthur and I agreed that one of us will be staying at the other's ship, without taking a break until we arrive at Nassau.

And so we did. Two weeks passed and we arrived at the port of Nassau, only to be met with a storm at our way there. We stayed at Nassau for three days and we made clear that the men could only stay for a little on the island, after they have finished their work that we had put them. I went to see Imogen and made her promise to have Benjamin away from the port for these days, so I wouldn't have to deal with a child in front of the both crews.

At the last day, me and Arthur sat down and talked about the little thing that we have, in private. After some arguments and much time spent on pointless things, we decided to call it a relationship and having it secret from the crews. But also we found ourselves nearly caught by Alfred as he came inside the room that we had 'rented' and found Arthur naked and me covered with all the blankets by our reflexes. Thank the gods that Alfred thought about Arthur being my customer and quickly left us.

We immedeatly got dressed and agreed on each captain being on their own ship and so we set sail the same day and due to the strong winds, we were already at the open sea. Nothing was wrong. Nothing. Until men from below deck started to run the stairs towards the deck. Everyone turned curiously to see what happened until a man was set in front of me.

He looked beaten up and the point of having his head forced towards the wooden floor made it even worse for him. I gestured for the men to leave him alone for a little, and so they did. When the force was taken out of his body, he cautiously looked up, only for him to see me.

"Who are you?" I asked and he once again looked at me. He had deep forest green eyes and messy chocolate brown hair. He tried to speak until one of the men forced his head again at the ground. It made contact almost immediately and was heard a loud 'thump' and he groaned out of pain. "Mister Herspark," I said and the said man turned his head to me. "I believe that he would be more than willingly to speak if you don't hold his head like that". The man stared at me and slowly took off his hand from the man's face.

The prisoner looked up once again and took a deep breath before he spoke. "You have my deepest graduates for not making me hitting or  kissing the floor again with my face" the man said and lowered his head. "My name is Logan. And I want for you to help me captain".

Help him? How? "How could I help you? I'm not someone that can grand wishes. I'm just a pirate" I smiled and got ready to order the men to get him at the prison until he spoke once again.

"I know! But please help me. I come from a poor family and I don't have much money to buy a ticket for the new colony known as Australia. I heard that you are sailing towards Portugal. Please let me come with you! I'll take the ship from there and you'll never hear from me again! I'll even scrub the deck and wash everything in this ship!" The man started but my smile stopped him.

"Why do you want to go there Mister Logan?" I asked him and he looked around trying to see if this was some kind of play, but the rest of the crew was surprised, just like him.

"I want to join their Police Department there captain Kenway" he admitted looking down at the floorboard, thinking that it was a bad move to say the truth.

My hand spread and reached in front of him waiting to be grabbed. Hesitantly, Logan grabbed my hand and he stood up. "I welcome you Mister Logan at the Pearl of the North. We will take you to Portugal safe and sound, while you will help my crew mates and the Royal Maiden's too at their chores. Is that clear?" Logan not waiting he nodded his head and contained to thank me for half an hour.

The night, the ship didn't anchor as we were below the schedule of the weather and the place so, we continued to sail. Two days passed and both of the ship anchored and Arthur met Logan.
