Summary:
“It’s been more than long enough for your friends in London to have
responded to our demands,” the pirate said almost sympathetically. “It’s
beginning to look like you’re on your own, I’m sad to say.”
James swallowed hard. Shit.
Shit shit shit shit and shit. The word was all his brain would spit out
for several seconds, and he took a deep breath, attempting to get
himself back under control. He could not show fear – not here, not to
this man.
“No doubt you had half the ransom spent already,” he said, covering his own panic, and England shook his head again.
“Me?
No. I’d not see the lion’s share of it. I’m not the one who captured
you – just one of the poor bastards who’s agreed to keep you locked up.”
“So you came to gloat and ease your disappointment?” James guessed, his tone bitter, and England frowned.
“Prickly bastard, aren’t you?”
“Try being held hostage for months and see how your disposition holds up,” James snapped, and England laughed.
“I suppose you’re all sunshine and roses normally, then?” he asked.
“You could release me and find out,” James suggested sarcastically.
“Somehow
I suspect that wouldn’t end well,” England said, “although for your
sake, I confess, I’m inclined to give it a go. Think you could make it
out of here on your own?”
