| Abe walked up next to Max and leaned over the railing of the ship. The first mate was carving the makings of a seagull in flight out of a peice of birch wood. Abe had seen many sailors do this before, but none with the skill and grace like Max. "Do you know that I wasn't always with Captain Grey?" Max asked without looking up from his carving. "I guess I never really gave it much thought." Abe answered honestly, wondering what brought the comment on. "I was with this other captain, named Jonathan Boston. He was a remarkable man. Have you ever had the pleasure of meeting him?" Max questioned, now glancing up at the young boy. "I believe so." Abe said, not wanting to lie. "Well, I would think that it would be more then just an 'I believe so' when the man is your father." Max said, now turning to Abe to see his reaction. Abe tried to look confused by Max's comment, but felt panic rising up in her chest. "Don't think I haven't figured it out, Abigial Boston. I was on your father's crew two years ago. On your fifteenth birthday. I remember you coming along and, who was it? Samuel?" Abigail nodded reluctantly. "Yes, he watched me like a hawk that voyage." Max confessed with a smile. "I didn't realize who you were, though I knew you looked familar. But when you climbed that rigging during the storm things started to come together." Abigail sighed. "So what are you going to do?" She asked him quietly. Max studied her for a moment before answering. "Well, first tell me why in the world your on this ship, then we can decide what to do." Abigail nodded and then spoke, her voice subdued and distressed. "My father is missing. He has been for the past four months now. I want to find out what happened to him." Max stared at her in astonishment. She went off on her own, dressed as a boy, to go find her father? He couldn't believe it, but then, as he remembered the girl from the voyage two years prior, and what he had seen in the past month, he realized that she would, and could do such an act without a second thought. "That is the reason you deceved both the crew and the captain of this ship? To save your father?" Abigail nodded slowly, unable to meet his eyes. Max stood there in thought for a moment, his carving forgotten. "Well that seems like a nobel enough quest to me." He told her with a smile. "I think that its a good enough excuse as any to be out on the high seas. But," He said lowering his voice. "Let's just keep this between you and me, I can't help you if the other men find out, or Captain Grey." Abigial nodded again, and smiled. "Thank you so much, Max. You have no idea what it means to me." She said softly. "Your welcome. But I'm warning you, if you get discovered. I never knew a thing about it." He warned. Abigail laughed, it was rich and beautiful, like Max imagined she would be, out of her boyish sailor cloths, and with longer hair. But then, he would never see her like that, most likely, so he could only imagine.... What do you think? Harley, the Christian Punk. |
