Summary:

“I’ll need your sword,” he said, and England gaped.

“You don’t mean -”

“I do,” Thomas answered.

“You’re fucking crazy!”

“Said the man who chose to rob ships at gunpoint for a living. Your sword,” Thomas requested. England swallowed hard and, without another word, he unbuckled the weapon and handed it over.

“The fee’s one reale,” he said, and Thomas nodded.

“Will a shilling suffice?” he asked, and England nodded. Without another word, he began to move through the crowd. A moment later he stepped through the throng, and stood, facing James.

Who stood, utterly dumbstruck, staring at him as if he were seeing a ghost.

“Hello, dearest,” Thomas said with a small grin.
