it was put on your ship about five years ago, when we were still enemies.”

          “Yea,” Aaron agreed, “and not only that, Ryan destroyed it.”

          “Okay.”  Zelda felt relieved to hear that.

          Aaron looked at his watch and then to Zelda.  “Now, Zelda, it’s time for your check up.”

          “Okay, doc.”

          Aaron and Zelda began to leave the room.

          Ben followed them.  “Wow…. You better not do anything to my wife, Aaron.”

          Aaron kind of smiled.  He knew Ben was joking.  “Don’t worry, Ben.  Besides you can come too.”

          “Good.”  Ben walked with Zelda and wrapped an arm around her.

Heads Up

          Gregory, Jason, and Daniel were in the little office of Gregory’s house.  Gregory stood near the computer and fax machine.  His office was one of the cleanest rooms in his little house.  Everything in the room was well organized and he had a few pictures sitting on top of his desk.  Daniel sat in a chair which was in front of the desk while Jason leaned against the door.

          “This is the first time that we’re doing Zelda’s plan,” Jason spoke to break the silence.  The surprise was in his voice, knowing that Gregory was actually willing to go through with a plan from a pirate and not just any pirate but the one pirate he couldn’t stand.

          “Yep,” Daniel agreed.

          The fax machine began making a noise, letting Gregory know that he was getting something.  He grabbed the papers which came out of the machine and began reading them.  “What’s this?” he asked.

          “Fax,” Jason answered.

          “No…. I mean it’s what I’m reading.”

          “What’s it say?” Daniel asked.

          “One of our spies,” Gregory replied, working his way around the desk and sat down, “found out that the bounty hunters know that the pirates are going to Blaze.”  He placed the papers on the desk, keeping his eyes on the words.

          “That’s not good.”

          “Who wants pizza?” Jason asked, bored and hungry.  “I’m paying.”

          “Me,” Gregory and Daniel answered.

          Jason pulled out his cell phone and began dialing the number.

          “Anyways,” Gregory replied, looking up at Daniel, “we have to warn them.”

          “Yes,” Jason told the person on the phone, “I would like to get a large…. Hold on.”  He covered the mouth piece.  “What do you guys want on your pizza?”

          “Pepperoni,” Gregory and Daniel replied.

          “How are we going to do that?” Daniel asked.

          Gregory took a moment to think.  “The car radio.”

          “I hear that you guys are having a special on cheese fries.”  Jason listened.  “Cool…. Can I get four boxes of cheese fries?”

          “Are you sure it will work?” Daniel asked.

          “Yea,” Gregory answered.  He stood up.  “I was talking to them today and my brothers were acting like they were at a radio station.”  He began laughing.

          “Good.  And can I have your name?  You sound cute and your number?” Jason asked the person.  “Okay your name is Sarah and your number is none-of-your-business.  Okay but are you sure that none-of-your-business are numbers?”  He waited for the girl to respond but she hung up on him instead.  “I guess that was a no.”

          “Jason, we’re going to the car.  Want to come?” Gregory asked, walking out of the room.

          Daniel followed behind Gregory.

          “No.  I’ll wait for the pizza to get here.”  Jason left the room.

          “Okay.”

 

 

          Gregory and Daniel climbed into the car.  Gregory played with the radio for a little bit.

 

 

          David worked his way around the kitchen of the Black Velvet, fixing himself something to eat, when he heard a voice.  He turned around.  “Who’s there?” he asked.  He had no clue about the radio.

          “Hello…. Is anyone there?” Gregory’s voice asked.

          “Yea…. Me,” David answered, kind of freaked out.  “Now who are you?”

          “Hello.”

          “Look, man.  I don’t know who you are or what you want but please leave me alone.”

          “Hello.”

 

 

          Gregory waited for an answer but no one replied.  “Hello…. Is anyone there?” he asked again.

          “Maybe it’s not on or maybe no one’s there,” Daniel concluded.

          “Well, I’m going to keep trying.”

 

 

          Olivia and John walked into the kitchen and noticed David was talking to himself.  “Who are you talking to?” Olivia asked.

          “I don’t know,” David admitted, “but someone’s talking to me.  I think I’m hearing things.”

          Gregory’s voice came back on over the radio.  “Hello…. Hello…. Is anyone there?”

          “Did you hear that?”

          “Oh.  That’s Gregory.”  She held down a button on the radio.  “Hey, Gregory.  What’s going on?”  She removed her finger off of the button.

          “Okay first, Olivia, you have to say, ‘Over.’”

          “Why?”

          “Because it’s something you say when you are talking to a cop on a radio.  Got it, over?”

          “Okay?  Fine?” Olivia asked, confused.  “What’s going on?  Over.”

          “Well, we got news that the bounty hunters found out that you guys are going to Blaze.  Over.”

          “Thanks for the heads up.  Over.”

          They finished talking.

          Olivia turned her attention to John.  “I’m going to go tell Zelda and Ben.”  She knew that they both needed to know.

          “Okay.”

          Olivia hurried out of the room.

 

 

 

Last Minute Change of Plans

          Aaron stood in the captain’s office of the White Rose while he had Zelda sitting on the bed and Ben sat patiently on a chair.  “Well,” Aaron said, finishing up, “everything looks normal.  It’s a good thing that you don’t want to know the gender because I can’t tell you even if I wanted to.”

          “Thanks, doc.”  Zelda smiled.

          “Oh yea…. You’re doing good with keeping away from the rum.”  Aaron was proud of Zelda for her accomplishment.  He knew it must have been hard for her.  “You must hate it because it’s your favorite drink…. And Ben’s right for not wanting you to fight.”  He left the room without another word while Olivia hurried into the room.

          Zelda turned her attention toward Ben.  “He agrees with you.”

          Ben smiled with a look that told Zelda, ‘I told you so.’

          Olivia smiled.  “How was the appointment?”

          Zelda and Ben turned their attention toward the other captain.  “It was good…. Why?” Zelda asked.

          Olivia’s face quickly grew serious.  “Because that might be the last one.”

          Zelda and Ben exchanged glances then looked at Olivia.  “What?” Ben asked.  He hadn’t liked the sound of Olivia’s tone.

          “I got done talking to Gregory,” Olivia answered, “and well he found out that the bounty hunters know that we’re going to Blaze.  We’re dead meat when we land.”

          Zelda didn’t like the last part of Olivia’s sentence.  She hated how people could be so negative about things.  She knew there how to be another way.  “Don’t say that…. Don’t ever say that.  We’re pirates and we got to show them that we’re not stupid.”

          “Don’t plan on fighting, honey,” Ben told his dear wife.

          She smiled at him.  “I know…. I was thinking that we should go around and we,” Zelda caught what she said and knew she had to reword it, “well you guys can sneak up on the bounty hunters.”

          Ben smiled, wrapping an arm around Zelda.  “That’s my girl.”  He kissed her forehead.

          “That’s good,” Olivia agreed.  “Just better hope that the bounty hunters don’t find out.”

          “Should we tell Gregory that’s what we’re doing?” Zelda asked.

          “Yea.”

          “Okay.”

One Last Call

          David and John had stayed in the kitchen of the Black Velvet, checking out the radio.  “So Aaron fixed the radio so that way we can talk to the cops?” David asked.

          “Yep.”

          “Good because I thought that I was going crazy.”  David felt relieved.

          Olivia walked into the room, followed by Zelda and Ben.  “We need the radio,” Olivia told her two shipmates.

          “I want to use it,” Zelda said.  “I didn’t get a chance to use it yet.”

          John pushed the radio over to Zelda and she grabbed the radio, holding down the button.  “Hello.”  She paused but no one answered.  “Hello.”  Still no one replied.  She was kind of getting ticked off.  “Okay.  This is making me mad.  I know that some one’s there now say something.”

          Everyone but Zelda began laughing.

          “Wow.  Zelda’s ticked off,” Olivia laughed.

          “Yea…. But it’s cute.”  Ben walked over to Zelda and moved her hand away from the button.  “It’s not going to work with your hand on the button.”

          “Oh.”

          Ben smiled at her embarrassment.

 

 

          Gregory and Daniel where in the car, laughing.  Gregory grabbed the walkie-talkie and began talking.  “Sorry it took us a while to answer but it’s kind of hard to when someone has their hand on the button holding it down.  Now what do you want to tell us?  Over.”

          Zelda’s voice came out of the speakers.  “We’re going to sneak around Blaze and sneak up on the bounty hunters.  Over.”

          “Okay…. Over.”

 

 

          Zelda held down the button because she had something else she needed to say.  “Oh yea…. You cops need to start coming.  It would help us a lot.  Over.”

          Everyone in the room listened for Gregory’s voice to reply.  “Okay.  Over.”

          They finished the conversation.
