CHAPTER 18:

“ I can’t find her anywhere. Where are you Capitan?” said Jose entering the galley and sitting next to Andrew who was too deep in thoughts.

“ Her cabin is untouched, there is no sign of struggle Jose. Could she have gone willingly? Or maybe they hurt her before they took her away.” Replied Andrew hands in the air explaining.

Jose winced at the thought and said “ When did they take her? We should start looking over board, the boys are taking care of the search here and in the docks, lets go.” 

They left the ship and started searching in the nearest inns surrounding the ocean.

“ We should seek help.” Said Jose.

“ From who?” asked Andrew looking at the man with doubtful eyes that meant he knew what he meant.

“ We need his help, Fernando!” replied Jose.

“ No, we don’t!” exclaimed Andrew walking into the sixth inn since the search started.

“ He’s somewhere around here, yesterday Marco said he saw him enter this inn.”

“ I’m only seeing this man to make sure he’s not the one who abducted Capitan.” Said Andrew pushing his way through to ask about Orlando. The owner said he gave him a room yesterday on the first floor.

As soon as they got the information they needed, they flew upstairs and knocked on the first door to be answered by a Spanish tavern wench who said she hadn’t heard of Orlando before. They knocked the second door now wishing they wouldn’t need to knock the remaining four since they were certainly running out of time. They didn’t have to as it was Orlando who opened the door shirtless and with soaked hair and holding a towel to his face to dry it up.

“Where is she, Englishman?!” gasped out Andrew madly pushing Orlando aside to look in the room.

“Are you begging me to box you, Yank?! What do you want?!” answered Orlando getting fierce and pushing Andrew to the end of the room with an arm grasping  his shirts collar.

Jose pushed through the two tall men violently and said “We’re running out of time! She might be dead by now you two estupidos! So instead of fighting lets go look for her.”

“Who is she? Es.. Esmeralda?!” asked Orlando incredulously.

“ Si Senor. We couldn’t find her in her cabin this morning, we figured she would be with you, or abducted.” Replied Jose.

Esmeralda? Hurt? 

Orlando couldn’t even imagine it. He put on his shirt without balance and unbolted the door open saying “We may as well start the search. I’m going to kill the one responsible for this!”

“That’s if we don’t kill him before you.” Replied Andrew digging daggers as he looked at him.

Orlando was far too concerned to pay Andrew any attention, yesterday he had tried not to think of her but she kept appearing in his mind even after he was drunk he could still see her in his mind there just waiting. He had wished he was wrong so he could apologize but it was her fault and she insulted him and hurt his pride with every possible way where all he tried to do was help her and be there for her. Besides her father found out about the scheme and couldn’t say anything about it.
