"Glad to see you, Angelica. We've just arrived." Blackbeard put an arm around her shoulders.
"This looks like an uninhabited island." Angelica observed.
"Nonsense, our supplier lives on the other side, although the winds do not allow us to travel there." He informed.
"Alright let's go." Angelica started, but her father did not move.
"Angelica, you wouldn't make your frail old father walk through the heat and then carry those heavy boxes back, would you, dear?" He pouted.
"I guess not.. Jack?" Angelica pleaded with her eyes.
Jack put his hands up, but then back down at seeing her eyes.
"I'll send some men with you, set off in a boat they'll follow soon." Blackbeard said.
Jack griped and stomped to the boat, lowering it and setting off toward the island.
Suddenly Blackbeard raised his sword and the ship surged away.
"JACK!!" Angelica screamed over the railing. "Why did you leave him?" She demanded her father's answer.
"That is North Sentinel island," Her father said grimly. "And with the lack of animals and edible plants, the Sentinelese will hunt anything they can get." He smiled.
"The sentinel what?" Angelica asked.
"The canibal inhabitants." He answered.
"Father!" Angelica yelled. "Go get him!" She demanded.
"My ship, my course." He said and walked off.
Angelica started crying and attracted the attention of Scrum.
"Are ye alright?" He patted her on the back.
Angelica harshly grabbed his wrist. "Get a group of men no bigger than 5. We're going for Jack," She ordered.
Scrum smiled and ran off to find her militia.
"I'm coming, Jack," She whispered to herself.
