"Pat," Jacob said, "I need to talk to our stowaway, if you can find her." He abruptly left the ship's deck and went downstairs to the cell Sparrow was in. He nodded to the guard, then addressed the pirate. "I need some information from you."

"I have a few different questions this time." Jacob said to the strange pirate. "We're off the coast of Spain, heading towards France. I don't suppose you happen to know anything about the details of the coastline?"

Isobel and her captor came on deck, Isobel's mouth a grim, stubborn slash in her oval face. Forced with the taller, stronger privateer, she unwillingly looked over the railing and beheld the Steadfast, which was holding her own but still falling behind. Isobel looked on despairingly, jumping as the privateer bent down to whisper menacingly in her ear, "You're our insurance if they get too close - you'd better hope your friends care enough for your life to back off!"

Pat had to look around on the deck for a few minutes before he found Lynna. "The Captain wants to see you, Lynna," he said, fuming inside at the fact that they hadn't caught up to the Privateer yet. Not many ships could out-sail the Steadfast but so far, that privateer was doing a pretty good job of it.

Lynna raises an eyebrow. "Alrighty then...... You gonna show me to his cabin, or what?..... Considering I have no idea where it is....." lol

Pat shook his head. "Not there. He's interviewing the prisoner in the brig. This way."
He started off at a quick walk, re-crossing the ship to get to the stairs down to the brig. "Come on," he said over his shoulder to Lynna, starting down the stairs.

Jacob knew Sparrow wouldn't give information for nothing, so he decided to open the bargining. "I need to know about coves, harbors, little places a ship could hide. Depending on what you tell me, I can give you a chance to get off this ship."

Pat cleared his throat. "Here's the stowaway, Captain," he said averting his eyes from the pirate. At least he wasn't really walking - if he was, then Pat's stomach would really be turning somersaults. "Think we'll be catching them anytime soon, sir?" he asked Jacob, wondering when he'd get a chance to reprove his worth in battle, since he had been knocked out in the last one.

Jacob turned when Pat cleared his throat. "Thank you, and we should be catching them soon." He turned to the stowaway. "Thanks for coming down, Lynna." he said before turning back to Sparrow. "You can always stay there if you'd like. It doesn't make any difference to me."

Pat studiously avoided looking at the man in the cell, but still noticed when Sparrow started looking at him. Doing his best to studiously ignore that, too, he nodded gratefully at the Captain's response to his question, and headed up the stairs, motioning for Allister to follow him.
