Chapter 100

Did you doubt it, my own?

I made a sound of satisfaction. “What of the boy and the woman?”

I had no quarrel with them, and Esme was quite satisfied with her meal

“I just hope she doesn’t get indigestion.” I stepped up onto the transom, about to dive into the warm depths of the Lagoon. “So they live?”

He nodded.

“Why go after Viejo now?”

In order for Da’ric’s plan to work, you need to be the captain who takes Malossini to the island

“I am.”

Malossini planned to get his captain and boat through Viejo

“That’s sorted out now, yes?”

Yes. Da’ric will recommend you once Malossini realizes he can’t contact Viejo

“Excellent.”

You’ll need to take the Josie to Rio

That was going to be a longish trip, but the engines of the Josiewere powerful, and it wouldn’t take too long to get there. However…”I’d better get started now.”

I’m going with you

“Fine.” Although it wasn’t. Would I be able to maintain my secret for that length of time? Well, I’d have to.
