Caught up in the momentum of things, Redd merely turned to her first mate and nodded to her question and request. Once this was done and they could breathe… Cissa would know everything.
Jumping down from the upper deck, the captain rushed to aid a few of her crew and some of Will’s which had returned with a plugged up cannon. Getting the cannon back in working order, Redd began to give out orders once more and helped to distribute the gun powder and fuses needed to fire the large iron balls. Around them balls whipped and whizzed through the air, causing them to duck, and watch as they got hit… however not as severally as one ship next to them which was now taking on great amounts of water, “ Batten down ladies! We’re going to make a run for it soon!”
Almost frantically, Amber searched for any signs of Will and Jack approaching within the chaos… she didn’t want to leave anyone behind, but they could come back and she knew Will would do the same if he was in her position, he’d understand. Moving around to help secure what needed to be and make sure the sails were ready, the captain of the Mercy’s Peril suddenly froze in place… that sound…
“ I’ve heard that sound b’fore…” She commented slowly, her throat dry all of the sudden as she looked to Cissa and nodded, “ Get ready to sail.” Turning, the statuesque red head moved for her quarters, once inside she began to gather what weapons she could carry and headed towards the exit plank of her ship, pausing briefly to look at her first mate, “ Return in four days… but do not come near Tortuga or try to find me until then.” For a fleeting rare moment, Redd hugged her sister friend and then exited her own ship leaving the dark tressed woman in charge, “ B’careful and stick to the shoals to get out quickly. Godspeed.”
Concealing herself within the folds of a black cloak, Redd weaved through the chaos knowing soon the crew of that damned ship would touch land and she would be ready for them, every last one.
