When James returns thirteen days later, he does have more blood on his hands, more still than he’d reckoned with the morning he set sail. The streets of Nassau are filling up with dusk, and greet him with a particular cadence to their din and babble that is unmistakable. The evening is following its usual course, not to be deterred by almost anything, but it’s there like a low hum beneath everything else, the drunk voices, the angry and the exuberant ones.
Something has happened. Something that concerns everyone, and everyone knows.
