"After all the trouble you've caused us why would we want to work out a deal with you?" Elena said. We all had our guns and jewels on the floor in front of Nick now and had our hands held behind our back by some soldiers. Nick walked over to her.

"You're a new face, and a pretty one at that," Nick said about to touch her cheek.

"Don't touch her!" Nathan yelled, struggling to try and get to Elena. Nick looked at Nate then Elena and lowered his hand and laughed.

"So this one is yours then?" He asked pointing at Elena. "Well at least you Drakes have good taste in women. Speaking of women, hello Bryllee. Miss me?"

"You wish," I spat at Nick as he was now standing in front of me, bending down so our eyes were level.

"I wish for a lot of things, love, you missing me is not one of them. However, I want to know, have you decided to join me yet? Join the winning side?" Nick asked now standing directly in front of me. I began to laugh.

"Never," I said as he smirked and walked over to Sam.

"Yea, she's all yours, mate. I don't need a back talking bitch," Nick said patting him on the shoulder.

" Well it's a good thing I like my women head strong. And she certainly doesn't need a scumbag like you," Sam said coolly. Nick's smirk went away for a moment before he turned around and laughed. he stood there for a second, his back at Sam, then quickly in one solid motion, turned around and socked him in the face.

"Hey!"

"What the hell?!"

"I'd watch my mouth if I were you," Nick said. Sam was still being held up with a grin on his face.

"Don't let me hurt your pride buddy. Not my fault Bryllee isn't blind," Sam said under his breath. Nick smirked again and and walked toward a pile of jewels and picked a coin up and flipped in his hand.

"Now, if no one else wants to try and, as Sammy here said, hurt my pride, then lets make out a deal," Nick said looking at Nate.

"Sure, you give us eight million and you can have the rest. Deal?" Sully said.

"Eight million," Nick paused, walking around a little. "Yea, that's not gonna happen."

"I don't need that money, come on guys lets just get out of here," I said quietly.

"No Bryllee, this is the only reason you joined us with this mess," Nate said. nick looked at all of us.

"What are you mumbling about?"Nick asked, continuing to toss the coin up and down.

"Nothing," I said quickly.

"I see. Well, how about a million?" I'm sure you can divide a million up between the five of you nicely.

"Oh come on? And what are you gonna do with the rest of the money? Roll around in it naked?" Sam asked.

"Well that certainly would be an interesting way to use it, but then who would be giving my missionaries their pay checks? I mean, they've been competing with you lot for a while now? How long ago was it Bryllee got that call about the money she owes her company?" Nick said looking away from the coin that just landed in his hand.

"Almost a month ago. Wh-" I began to say, but stopped and looked at Nick. "How did you know I got a call about my company?"

"Do you really think you'd just randomly get a call about owing eight million dollars for your company? Please, you'd have to be doing a lot more than finding permits to need to owe that much," Nick said dropping the coin and stepping closer to me.

"So, it was you who called? And sent that email? but it couldn't have been because it was," I began.

"A women who called, yes. My secretary. Interesting what a raise does when you offer the right amount. And isn't it interesting how you got the call barely a minute after Nathan here asks you to join him to look for the lost treasure of Ocloments Island?"

"How do you know all of this?" Nate asked.

"Oh please Nathan, you and I both now that Jameson, the good for nothing scavenger wouldn't even believe that flyer, so why would he put it on your desk?" Nick asked, now walking over to Nate.

"It was you?" Nate said, looking up at Nick. "But how?"

"Excellent question! Yes, excellent question indeed. Well you see, I knew i would never be able to find this treasure on my own, and I also knew about you, the man who stumbled across the lost city of El Dorado. And with his brother's help, found the greatest treasure hidden by one of the greatest pirates in the history of pirates. So, I tracked you and your brother down, and did a little more research on you, and found out you once worked with this beautiful face," Nick said, looking at me. "So I knew I needed your help, but I knew you'd never join forces with me due to the many times you've been double crossed. So set everything up, took me months to figure it out, but I did. I created the flyer and kept an eye on you. And once I knew you had asked Bryllee about it, I put my insurance plan in place. I desperately wanted her to join you two, so I made her think she owed money."

"What kind of crazy psycho are you?" Sam asked shacking his head.

"That's quite redundant, you could have just said psycho or crazy," Nick said turning around and picking up another coin and flipping it in his hand again.

"And now what? Now that you've found it and you have Bryllee here, now what are you going to do?" Sully asked looking slightly worried.

"Well, now that I've found the treasure, thanks to all of you of course, and I have Bryllee, I think I'll ride off into the sunset with her," Nick said, walking towards the entrance all of entered through. The soldier holding my hands behind my back pushed me forward so we were following Nick. "And as for the rest of you well I hope my missionaries make it quick, but I doubt that will happen."

"What?" Elena asked, looking confused.

"Oh, did I not make it clear enough? You're about to die," Nick said, smirking and walking out and the soldier forcing me to follow again.

"No!" I yelled trying to break free. "Please, I'll do anything! Don't kill them. Please."

"As nice as it would for you to do anything I see, willingly, I think I'd enjoy it more is I forced you to do everything I want you to do."
