RUNAWAYS: CHAPTER 21
Chapter 21: IN MEDUSA'S WEB The next installment of my novel online, Runaways: A Tale Of Jonkanoo, a sequel to Witch from the Sea
"Please sir, no," Tory gasped, her voice low and husky with terror. "Not the sea, oh please."
"'Sir,' is it? 'Oh please, sir,'" mocked the chief constable. "I’m afraid it’s a little late to be finding your manners."
Her face was growing wild with terror. Raleigh was hypnotized. Never, ever had he dared to hope for such complete despair.
"Send me back, whip me, chop off my foot, I don’t care!" she begged, in an utter frenzy. "But don’t put me on a ship! For the love of God, not the sea!"

" Do I understand that you wish me to print a forgery?"

"Hecate?" Jack echoed, his voice faint. Pale Hecate, queen of the witches in Macbeth. "You’re sure that's the name she gave? It didn’t just sound like Hecate?"
Alphonse glanced up at him. "Nothing else sounds like Hecate."

If anything could possibly be worse than her present predicament, Tory imagined it would be a lifetime with Young Mas' Ratbone. She had seen sharks with more winning dispositions.

There were many possibilities, and not one shred of solid information. Jack needed to be up and doing something, plotting a strategy, following a trail, fighting an enemy, but he didn’t know where to start.

Chapter 16: UNFINISHED BUSINESS The next installment of my novel online, Runaways: A Tale Of Jonkanoo, a sequel to Witch from the Sea
Tory had learned enough about acting to show no response. Her only reward was Raleigh’s momentary expression of disappointment that his neat trap had not devastated her. But she was devastated inside. She could not fight her way out of this. Her freedom was over.

"All this talk of destiny and stars...it’s like blaming mala suerte. If things don’t go right, you can always say, Ah! It’s not my fault. It was destiny, fortune, mala suerte. It was never meant to be."

"There’s nothing but strife and trouble and danger for us ashore. What would we be leaving behind?" Jack did not answer. Until this moment, he’d had no idea how much Tory still yearned for the sea.
