Calico Cat:
The docks stank of rotting fish and worse, but the cool, salty night air felt fresh and clean. Two figures stumbled drunkenly down the dock, taking full advantage of its width.
“That’s her!” the man bellowed in a gruff, weathered voice. “That’s my girl, the Black Harpy!” he patted the ship moored off to his right. “I took her from Captain Harcourt after he . . . died, and she’s been mine ever since.”
“It’s very big, sir,” the girl twittered while the big man guffawed.
“That it is,” he said, looking her over again; he’d gotten lucky tonight. “Now, come aboard! We have some business to see to!” As he walked up the plank to the deck, he dismissed two half-sleeping guards and told them to find someplace else to stay the night.
“What’s that sound?” the girl asked once she’d stepped aboard.
“That? That’s moaning from my ‘passengers’ . . . and they’d better shut their damn mouths!” he yelled down into the hold. Silence followed.
“So it’s just the two of us here,” the girl stated, but something had changed in her voice. He turned to see her pointing a pistol in his face. “I guess I’ll be freeing your ‘passengers’ . . . and then before they hang you, you can tell everyone that the Calico Cat took your ship and gave her a proper name. Now if you’ll come with me, the Lady’s Scorn and I have some work to do.”
