A part of a story I'll be posting on Fan Fiction someday. It's a summarized version, used as notes to help me remember the plot.
They arrived at the Cabinet by night. Jake took a group of about 18 men with him, including his coterie. Becky demanded to come because she was one of his best fighters now and she wanted to be there when they found her. Allison stayed with the baby. They rowed silently to the island shore and crept along the side of bushes as they saw a group of men partying by a beach bonfire. They crept through various men on guard and others who were working until they got to a cluster of buildings off the beach. It was the store room, a supplies room, then they came across a huge building guarded by four men at each entrance and two on the other two sides. Some of the men went through it while others stood guard. It was a series of caged pits, each with a makeshift bed. Jake and his men searched the dark pits with torches until Nipperkin found her. She was emaciated and sounded hoarse. She recognized Jake instantly. He gave her some water and pulled her out of there.
Now the group had to slip away as quietly as possible. Scully carried her frail figure as they back-tracked the way they came. The captain had discovered their boat though and ordered his men to search the island until the intruders were caught. Jake stopped in the forest and discussed the certainty that they would have to fight. He sent Mimosa, Muggins, Scully, and a few other men to the shore to locate their boat. Jake hid the woman in the forest and protected her. When the captain and his men began to overpower Scully and the rest, Jake sent the rest of his forces down to help.
Men were wounded and some died. Scully bravely fought to protect his group of men, despite being shot in the abdomen and stabbed in the arm. He also had a gunpowder burn on his hand from the beach battle. Jake stepped out of the forest and hollered out to the captain to come get him. He came, and the two began to sword fight. This made the enemy pirate furious, and he ran towards Jake, but Nora, Scully, Jake, and Becky shot at him from where they were. No one knows who killed him for sure. Jake's crew made it with her to the shore, where one of the crew made managed to secure a boat, and they sailed back to the ship to repair their wounds and mourn their five dead.
