Pete Winning and the Pirates Page #3

---

And he'll be back quicker

than you can blink an eye.

And in greater numbers too.

So, we'd best get movin'.

We got a boat to load.

- All right, pirate wench.

Supper.

Hate for you to continue wasting away.

- We did what you asked, Eva.

There's no sign for Pete or Victor

on Her Majesty's transit list.

- But.

- But?

- But we saw this Jacques

Cartier on the register.

I thought it sounded suspicious.

- Tried to tell this dunderhead here

that a Cartier patrolled these waters

like 500 years ago.

- A fake name.

Do you think?

- One-Eyed Bill?

- If it's him, we're close.

Means we washed up further

east than I thought.

If he's heading to the palace,

we can still catch him.

- Yeah, but we don't

know where the palace is.

And doesn't look like

you're goin' anywhere soon.

- Let me worry about that.

- Take that, you treasonous she-dog!

- You sure about that now?

- I said I heard the

Crimsons stole your maps.

You know, heard?

Stories change all over the place, Petey,

and it's not just the

two maps that you stole.

We're talkin' about all three.

- What?

- Eh.

Um, yeah.

They kinda stole mine too.

But they didn't get it

without a fight, okay?

I, oh man, we're not

done here yet, all right?

- What is it?

- Done this before.

Setting sail with a

crew that's unprepared.

And now where are we?

- Yeah, but have to get those maps.

And besides,

I believe in you, Pete Winning.

- Let's go, you barnacles!

Come on!

- Crimson Island.

- And the only two thing on Crimson Island

are the Crimsons and the dead people

who invade Crimson Island.

- Well, you know what they say,

you got a date with

death, it might as well

be on your own terms, right?

- You okay?

- Course I am.

I am--

- Come on!

We don't got all day!

- I don't think we got

time for a pint, darlin'.

- We're not here for a pint.

We're looking for One-Eyed Bill.

Jacques Cartier never signed

out on the transit log.

- Yeah, but we don't even know

what One-Eyed Bill looks like.

Yeah, but somethin' tells me

he might just stand out.

- Wait, what?

- Uh, guys?

- That's our cue!

Whose vessel is this, anyway?

- It's ours now, honey!

- Sure sounds like it could be Pete,

but with some short-haired cutie, huh?

- Yeah, but with some

good-lookin' sailor-type, too?

That's gotta be the Charmer.

At least Eva will be happy.

- About Pete being alive

or the short-haired cutie?

- Well, I guess he is

Pete Winning, after all.

- I couldn't help but overhear.

Pete Winning?

- What business is it of yours?

- Yeah, what business is it of yours?

- What can I say?

The great Pete Winning,

I was hoping to find him.

- Oh, us too.

Hi and One-eyed...

- Bill?

- Oh, he's definitely here.

I've been tracking him for a while now.

- I'm not sayin' nuttin'

else.

- How can we trust you?

Does this help?

- Well, I'll be a sharks tooth.

- I'm Skyler.

- And it looks like we're

going in the same direction.

- I'd still like to figure

out how we can trust you.

- Who says you can?

Many a salty group were brought together

by mutual goals, wouldn't you say?

Wouldn't you say, Petey?

Don't worry!

Not gonna cut your throats yet.

Not until we ind all three

pieces of the map, anyway.

'Til then, sleep well, me hearties.

- Just great.

- Telling you, Eva, she

has the same tattoo.

- Be that as it may, you

don't know what we know

about all of this.

- You're not giving me

a lot to go on here.

We have to find those maps.

- First we have to find Pete.

- Yeah, that's if he's even still alive.

And if he were, he'd want us

to continue on with the mission.

And to do that, the key is One-Eyed Bill.

- Don't assume Pete is dead.

- Look, there are bigger

things at stake here.

It's why we're going with her.

- What is this, mutiny?

You're leaving me here?

- No, I just, I wish there was

something else we could do,

but she can help us.

- I know a lot about you, Eva.

I don't think you'll

be mired here for long.

You'll think of something.

- Do I know you?

- Oh, um, I wouldn't think so.

- Crimson island!

There she be.

- How did you know this was here?

- Well let's just say that

I was an extended guest

of the Crimsons for the war.

I escaped using my cunning and my wits.

Something a little more valuable.

- What's that?

- My eye for detail.

Stick with me, my dearie,

and we may just survive this

with both your beautiful orbs in tact.

- Guard.

Guard.

Guard.

I think I heard something.

Did you?

I think it's coming from down there.

- If all three maps are in the same place,

I think that only leaves us one solution.

Yeah?

- Captain Crimson himself.

All roads lead to him.

- That is a dangerous and terrifying plan

you've concocted, Petey.

It's likely to get us all killed.

I love it.

- It's suicide.

- Oh, she loves it too.

- Look, he's the best

pirate in the business, yes?

- Now, what do all good pirates like

after a day of violence and plunder?

- Drinking an d wenches.

- Yeh.

Drinking and wenches.

- We just amble on in.

You cover us.

- Yeah.

- Um.

- No, it's okay, son, I got it.

- Have you got anything

to drink in there, mate?

- Hey there.

It's a cute boat.

- Hmm?

- For a cute guy.

- Oh, you forgot your life jacket!

- I said, that's no lady, that's my wife!

To all the pretties who've loved us,

and to all the pretties

who've not loved us

yet.

Pete.

Winning.

- Who else?

Thought I'd bring some life to this party.

Well, you could shoot us,

or we could share this!

- I could cut you right now.

- You could.

- But why ruin such a pretty, pretty face?

Ah.

Ah.

- So.

We all know you have the map of the east.

- Do you now?

- But you know something precious?

I know where the other two are.

- You're telling me you

have the other two maps?

- Well, have, don't have.

They're not here with me, that's for sure.

That wouldn't be very savvy, would it?

But I know where they are.

All we have to do is join forces.

- I don't buy it, Winning.

I think you and I are playing

a game of Texas Hold'em.

And you are out of cards.

- Well.

Here they be!

I mean, are.

- I say we just take them!

- Micha.

I don't think that's any

way to treat our guests.

This is Pete Winning himself, after all.

But it does beg the question.

You have two maps.

Two.

You could have sailed on,

been treated to a pardon,

fortune, wenches.

Although, I see you've

got that part covered.

- For the glory, my friend, the glory.

That can never be taken away.

- Glory.

Glory.

Glory, the one thing

that can make anything

worth everything.

I toast you, Pete!

- If you were to join us, we would be

unstoppable on the seas.

Aye, that we would.

Except for one thing.

- You'll be joining us.

Welcome to the Crimsons.

Yes.

- Come on.

- All you pirates dressed all in red.

You spend your time

drinkin' and tryin' to bed.

Too bad you're nappin'

and messed in the head.

Should have been guarding

these three maps instead.

- You like fighting dirty?

- Bill!
