‘Charlie said I’d only need to do it until he paid off the extra five thousand he owed. He’d never go near a casino again! So I did what he aske...d. Then the bastard went gambling yet again. Lost more, and left me with his debts. So now I owe Eddie, and if I don’t work it off… I can’t even begin to tell you…’ Suddenly, it was too much— Once the first sob started, others quickly followed.

I have to trim the sails.”I went forward and fiddled withe the sheets and lines. Basilisk is rigged single handed but I wasn’t about to tell them that.
