Chapter 7
7 years had passed since Solo had joined the Navy. At first he started out as a Cadet, then a Sergeant then a Veteran. From the rank or Veteran, Solomon went to Officer, Dragoon, and Captain and now he was finally being promoted to Commodore. Solo had bought a ship called the Rouge Brouillards.
When Solo had joined the navy so did Hector. Even though Hector never wanted to join he still did for several unexplained reasons. Today was the day Solomon would start his plan to rid the Caribbean of pirates. He had planned to take his ship, one of the strongest in the Caribbean, and hire other ships, which he already did, and go out and sink any pirates and at the very end lay siege on Tortuga. Hector had his own ship which will also be in the fleet.
That day, when Solo was looking for some extra crew members he chanced upon a strange yet familiar women. “Excuse me, Miss?” asked Solomon politely “You are a cook are you not? I see you here cooking”
“Aye” replied the women. Bells started to ring in Solo’s head; he had heard the voice before. “Are ye looking for a job, it has good pay, and it will be aboard a mighty war ship, you see I’m in need of a cook”
“Aye, what be your name sir”
“Commodore Solomon O’shot at you service, madam”
“SOLOMON” she yelled suddenly. It was so loud and sudden that Solomon had his sword drawn in the blink of an eye and pointed at the lady. “Solomon, it’s me Liz, from the island you left 8 years ago. Live wasn’t the same without you around. I waited for my chance to come to Port Royal but a ship never did show up until 2 months ago, we docked here yesterday”
“Liz?” Solomon asked surprised, he stared at her for a long minute then everything made sense “LIZ, it is you” with that Solomon gave her a big hug, he had missed her a lot.
On that note Solomon hired her into his services and explained to her why he ran away and why he was planning to hunt down pirates. He also introduced her to Hector, whom had heard a lot about her.
The following week Solo set sail, with Liz aboard his ship as a cook, and Hector behind the ship with a fleet. They had a lot of success in sinking pirates; they had sunk nigh on 15 ships and had suffered only minor damages. At this moment they were about to face another opponent. Solomon had the fleet stopped. Each ship was facing the lone pirate war ship, which was also facing them as well. Next to the Rouge Brouillards was Hector with his ship. After yelling from ship to ship they had agreed only Solomon was to sail and confront the lone war ship.
Solo had the sails raised on this fine day; the sun was high up, there was a cool ocean breeze, the water was a dark shade of blue and the smell of gunpowder hung in the air. In the water sharks started to swim knowing people were going to fall in water and via that into their mouths....
