They trudged through the hot sand to a little area near the beach surrounded by shady trees. Bella immediately jumped off Kat's shoulder and zoomed up one of the palm trees. She addressed the group. "We have a lot to do, and little time to get it all done. Nia may be the only one here fully aware of what has happened the past day and what else must be accomplished. I would like to hear everyone's thoughts as how we should proceed. We must bring the Wolf to du Tourbillon, which may not be so easy if he is awake. We must pay for the cannons. We must secure the ship. We must hire a crew, though we have recruited some we still have some specific roles to fill. We may have to separate to get this all completed." She reached inside her jacket and pulled out a small flask. The liquid inside felt like fire on her parched lips but soothed her tired soul. "First, Étienne is it? What exactly do you think you will do on our ship? I care not if you spend your spare time writing but we need useful bodies on our journey." Katerina's teal eyes sized him up critically. "Have you sailed before? On a ship of this type?" She turned to Barrington next. "I'd like to know what business you have with Captain Reed. Seeing as he's apparently our competition I think it's a fair question." </blockquote>
