Pete Winning and the Pirates Page #4

---

We're a crew.

Now it's your turn to help.

- Now what?

- We wait.

- For?

- I'm not a doctor.

We need to find a way to boil some water.

He needs to re-hydrate.

- Any chance you can boil

me a steak with that?

Oh there, there, lass.

You're not gettin' rid of me that easy.

- I'll have a nice glass of red wine,

and my friend over here

will have a claw-decks rum.

- So what are we doing here?

- We're looking for One-Eyed Bill.

And someone in here is

bound to know who he is.

So we ask.

Remember the water?

- Yeah, it's dry enough.

Where are the maps?

- Maps?

- I think he means the maps.

Really, mate?

You lost your boat.

You lost your crew.

And now you've lost

your all-important maps.

What next, huh?

Your manhood?

Your marbles?

- Outside, now.

- That fish was a big'un, you know?

And sure he took me hand, but I took

a bunch of the beast's teeth.

I think I'm gonna make a

bracelet out of it or something,

I don't know what.

But I'll tell you, it was a rush.

- I can't thank you enough.

- Ah, it was nothing, darlin'.

Like I said, I'm just

glad I was there for you.

But those sharks, I tell you.

Overrated.

They should have sent

five or six after me.

That might have been a fair fight.

Hey wait a minute, where the Charmer?

And the Captain?

- We don't know.

- It's all right, Evie.

His name's Winning, not Bait.

We'll find him.

Over there!

- We've got a bigger problem than that.

But I think that's where you two come in.

- Start talkin', dearie.

- Where are the maps?

- I told you, I don't have them.

- What about you?

I was knocked out for quite a while.

- You're outta sorts.

Is this the way it was

when you lost Carmen?

- We got her, mates, we got her.

- But she ain't got no coin.

- Is that so?

- Tie her up.

- We'll take it from here.

- What's that now?

- That wasn't part of the plan, was it?

- No, stumpy, it wasn't.

- Down, Pete, we don't have the luxury

to carry grudges out here.

- Carmen did all the

heavy lifting, didn't she?

Must be nice to get to live off her sweat.

I may not be perfect,

mate, but I am who I am.

And you're Pete Winning.

But what does that even mean?

Did that your crew could

have meant something, mate.

But you'd rather wallow.

Makes me think we should

call you Pete Losing.

- You might wanna stop it.

What is that you're even after?

Hmm?

- One-Eyed Bill.

- Oh, a couple a sailors

searchin' the land.

They seek far and wide

for this great pirate man,

One-Eyed Bill, they seek, never to pray,

but it looks like their quarry

has the advantage this day.

Heh.

You come be searchin' for

One-Eyed Bill, I take it?

Looks like you found him.

Best be puttin' your laser on deck.
