"I can do many things," she said. "Please, don't try anything to stop me Ral. I have been working on this for a very long time and would hate to have ...o put you down in order to complete my goal."Her threat was subtle, but there. Could she put me down? Was there anything I couldn't recover from? Well, there were probably situations, like having my head removed, that would keep me from healing on my own. So, instead of replying to her threat, I decided to focus something else."Your goal?" I. There was no sign of Mattie but she had left the pillsnext to a glass of water. Swallowing two I lay back and closed my eyescounting slowly to ten before forcing my battered and aching body fromthe bed. At first I felt a little dizzy, but it passed, and using thefurniture as for support my short stiff legged steps just about got meto the loo.Unwilling to risk trying to stand as another wave of dizzinessthreatened to overwhelm me I again sat. There was an odd slightlyguilty feeling running. " If you say so Marge." My hair's not blue." Not yet, but you've got the best cupcakes in town." That's true, and they love being twisted in a search for the Home Service." Are they sore?" A little bit." Want me to kiss them better?" That'd be nice." I do like your boobs." Not too small?" What doesn't fit in the mouth is wasted. And I love your belly button; it's so neat and trim. And as for your pussy, why, it's the prettiest thing I've ever seen." You're making me blush. Ah, that's better.". The Ketch sailed past the Maidens Revenge showing no sign of ill intent and as she did, they saw Rauf Denkton, Adalberto Carapau, and a third man whom they did not recognize standing upon the poop waving welcome to them."Ahoy, Maidens Revenge," Denkton called out across the water."Ahoy, Mr. Denkton and welcome," Carmen called back, "Is all well?" Aye," he returned, "all is well Captain. Shall we anchor?" Aye, please do so." Carmen answered.The De Droom dropped sail and allowed momentum to carry.
