Jeff walked into the bar, As I watched him from behind the counter, going from table to table asking people things. I looked down at the rag I was washing the counter with, might as well ask him what he is up to right now. I put the faded white rag down into the bucket that I had to wash the bar with, I went over to him. "She said to the little girl 'I was so scared' and the girl smiled then, her mother, I think, asked the girl to leave."
"Sorry to introduce on your conversation but, Jeff Smithy what do you want from these people? They will say just about the same story about sis being here." I said to him. "Well, I want to know where she is at all times." Said Jeff. He smiles, walked off and out the door. I went back to whipping the tables but he was still on my mind. What did he want with my sister? Why was he so interested in my sisters? Someone came up to me. I looked up braking from my thoughts. "Um, do you know where I could captain Hook?" He said. "Which one? The old or new one?" I said, "I knew both. Also, the old one is dead, so what do you want from her?" "I want her to be dead," He said, "I almost died at her hand" "I don't know where she is," I said, "and if I know I would not tell you." I spat at him in the face and left him standing him there and went back to wiping the table. "I will kill her no matter what," Jeff said under his breath. Whatever. You can just go kill yourself right now. "Adam! Come here right now!" My boss yelled at me, I went over to him. "Yes sir," I said. "You just got promoted right now," She said, patting me on the back. "What do I get promoted to?" I asked. "You get promoted to... " She trailed off when she saw someone outside the tavern. Yes, we sell food to not just beer. She went outside, I followed her half expecting her to finish her sentence. When we got out of the tavern there was a big ship docking it was like Liz's ship but instead of having three masts, it had two. It can't be possible that Liz was back again. Or is she? "We will finish our conversation later, is that ok? Ok." She said without actually looking at me or worrying about me, and she just walked off without another word from her. I looked back at the tavern, everyone was outside it now. Everyone was mumbling to each other, some people were looking at the ship in confusion. I turned looked back in front of me to look at the very Boat. The boat was bigger than any of the others in the harbor, I saw a figure on the very front of the boat I could not tell who it was or what it was doing but, as it got closer to an empty, big spot it went into it and nothing happened. A group of people started to walk over to it. The boat had the pirate symbol on a flag. Everyone got closer and closer to it. When I was around on the other side of it. People were offloading supplies for something. One crate was marked with gunpowder, another was marked gun. Each one was marked gun or gunpowder. Everyone who went over here was looking at each other in confusion. Why did we need guns and gunpowder? Why? We were going to go without guns and now everyone needs one? Or this is only for people who have ships? I was lost in my thoughts. Someone tapped me on the shoulder and said "who are you? And put your hands up!" I put my hands up. "I am Adam Levine," I said. "Your good, go with the others" He sapped at me, pushing me to the right with the other people. I did not want to go to the right, I wanted to know what he wanted to do with all of the guns he had. Later that day when no one was looking at me, I bolted to were the guns are. I started looked around for any indicator that may say where it is going. I didn't see anything of the sort. Shit, I thought then I heard "let's start moving these things on to the wagons right over there. -Liz.She went outside with a map to look for something. It was very windy outside. It made her shiver."This wind," she said to herself, "must be bad for these ships."She looked at the horizon, it was dark but still, there was a ship. A new ship. At least it is newer than the other one that she saw. Maybe someone else made it out to sea. At least someone made it. She thought to herself. I guess if we are still alive we are on our own."Hey buddy!" I shouted up to them, I was wearing a white hat with a red stripe in it. He looked up at me. He had a pair of goggles on, he could barely see me. It was very windy so he did not look up until I got closer."Hey buddy," he said back, I could see what was on his face now. He was clearly scared. I walked closer to him, "Hey are you guys alone?" I said, "This wind is a killer, and I have been looking for an answer."
"What did you get?" He asked me.
