We head back to the cave to plan out what we are going to do. John Henry starts up a fire and he puts two chickens on the spit.
"How did you get a daughter and how was she kidnapped?" I ask.
"When I realized I would not be able to get back to my wife in Scotland, due to my arse being stranded here; I married one of the local village ladies and Nikita was our first child. My wife passed away due to complications from the childbirth and I raised little Nikita all by myself these years. She was out picking wild mushrooms when those bastards grabbed her, oh she put up a hella of a fight- I found the blood and teeth of many a pirate there.I just want her back but I cannot do it alone."
"And that's where I come in right?" I say
"Aye. For the sakes of those poor bugger's health. My little Niki is a born fighter hehe!"
I look deep into the man's eyes..."I'll do it but we do this my way right?"
"You got a deal laddie!"
"Lets go now, I want to catch them off guard and asleep" I say.
We head out into the deep, black jungle... I look around...and I smile.
"What are you doing here? Oh alright but no chewing or maiming unless I say so!"
