"is that you, father" he asked. he sounded like he was 24, the same age as capt. deep. he was even more handsome up close. he lifted the cloth from his eyes. capt. deep was too spellbound to realize that she was in danger of being found. when she ahd realized it was too late. he gasped. "p-pirate?" he asked quietly. he opened his mouth to cry out for help, but capt. deep shushed him. "dont worry." she cooed. she pulled the medicine ou from her coat pocket. "here. this should fix you." she placed it on the counter. "you probably have enough of this, but take it anyway." she laid a sack of gold next to the medicine. the boy was astonished. his father had told him all kinds of horrible stories about pirates. she seemed familiar, but he couldnt quite remember who she was. his fever was getting to him. she turned around and walked towards the balcony. "can i at least know your name?" he asked. she turned and smiled at him. "no. not now. if you talk to me every night outside your balcony, just before your instructor arrives, i may tell you. until then, i think its best you not tell your father i was here." she said. the boy noded. "be outside my window at dusk then. he smiled. capt. deep nodded in agreement, a solemn vow made. and with that, she left.
