New chapter. Been really busy lately.
Chapter 9: Finding a Crew
First they were scared when they walked into the bar. Scrap and Rose tried 3 houses already and there were no sailors. They figured that sailors would be in a bar or something. As they walked in, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at them. Scrap heard some low mumbles, and then someone spoke up. "Wudda you want 'round here?" Said the bartender. Scrap quickly replied, "We're looking for a sailor or a sailing crew. We need to get to the town." The bartender looked at him and pointed to a table. On the table were 6 people. Scrap and Rose walked over and nodded. The biggest one at the table said, "What?" Scrap replied, "We're looking for a sailor. Are you one?" The man looked at his men. They looked tierd. "You come back here tomorrow morning and we'll talk. My name is Captian Kuup." With that, Scrap and Rose left the bar and walked to a 2 story house. It was an inn, and the owner let them sleep there. They fell asleep.
As Scrap and Rose left, the Captian thought. Scrap, Rose, and everyone else did not know this, but Captian Kuup worked for Skum. Skum had a big government system that ruled the land. He had every thing from sailors and merchants that worked for him. Kuup was Skum's right-hand man. He was probably the only one who knew. The steef in town, that's why they want to go there. They don't know he ratted them out. He saw there pictures somewhere and recognized them. Scrap and rose. He was tierd too, so he want to his ship and his men came with him. He fell asleep and awoke early in the morning. He woke his men and started towards the bar, grinning as he walked.
He got to the bar and sat at his seat. The bar was also an eating establishment, so he had breakfast. He waited for Scrap and Rose to come. The came about an hour after he got there. "So, can you take us to the town?" Scrap asked. "Why, of course. We can leave tonight. About the cost. It will cost you 150 coins for the ride." Kuup said. Scrap nodded. "We can pay you when we get there." Scrap said. He was not going to pay him. Scrap wasn't stupid and decided to make a run for it once the hit land. So, that night, Scrap and Rose went to the dock. They stepped on the boat and sat down in the cabin under deck. It was a cold night, and Scrap held Rose tightly.
