{ Don’t Starters }
Charles – could identify with the loss that Billy was going through, on various levels. Some were older and long since scarred over, while others were wounds that continued to fester beneath the surface. He wanted to acquire this man for his crew – of that, there was no question – but he had never wanted it to come at a price so steep as the loss of another pirate, let alone one as good as Gates had been, when he wasn’t so far up Flint’s ass it was a wonder he could breathe. Fat lot of fucking good his position up there did him, in the end.
Heaving a sigh, he leaned forward, propping his elbows on the table and folding his hands together as he eyed the other man thoughtfully before asking the obvious question. “So what do you plan on doing about it?” If Billy was going to twist himself up on vengeance – that could prove a problem if he got reckless about it. But if he just needed a way out – that was something Charles knew he could provide, if need be.
