"Never mind bleeding Errol Flynn's look a like, we need to get after bloody Norman before the time line really starts to change." Jericho grunted and pushed his mirror back in his jacket pocket. He was sweating and not very happy; now he had to deal with the officers of HMS Steadfast who could end up chasing a 'phantom' pirate ship in this time. Jericho scratched his head thinking hard. "We need to jump back and deal with Norman, But also keep Jeb and Tom off our backs, while we do it." Owen grinned; "Let me and Alex convince Jeb that a beach party would raise morale and we can slip away back to 1710, while they're having a good time on this lovely beach." Everyone just stared at him. He shrugged his shoulders; "Anyone got a better idea, just bloody speak up."
The bonfire was soon ablaze and the windup gramophone was playing hits from the forties and early fifties. The crew were dressed up in grass skirts with leaves on their heads. Everyone from the ship wanted to dance with Alex; who was wearing a stunning one piece, black bathing costume with a flimsy grass skirt. Jeb grabbed Jericho and handed him a 'long life' beer "Fantastic idea old boy! Just the bloody ticket!" He shouted over the noisy and very happy party. Jericho just smiled and Owen grinned broadly. "Come on people. lets go." Jericho muttered to the team who reluctantly followed him.
They made their way back to the fort; they couldn't believe it: there was a big party in full swing! Apparently it was Captain Breholt's birthday and the island was celebrating; or else! There were drunks everywhere. Alex soberly pointed out several new graves in the cemetery; "Probably old Israel and his men." She said sadly. Two drunken pirates tried to kiss Jackie, shouting "Merry Christmas!" to everyone. Jackie kneed one in the testicles and the other one wisely staggered off. "That's my girl." Alex smiled and they found themselves outside the gunpowder store. The guard was slumped against the door, singing quite an obscene song about a certain ship called 'Venus'. Jericho stepped over him and pushed open the door, he peered in; it was stacked with muskets, swords and gunpowder barrels. He rubbed his chin and smiled.
"Heads up, Isn't that our Norman?" Wilson said and everyone dived into the gunpowder store and watched through the half open door. Captain Ratbeard and Mrs. Harker were heading towards the party; hand in hand, surrounded by half a dozen crew members, dressed in their best. Well, they had washed their feet and hands. Jericho whispered to his group; "Now's the best time to end Ratbeard's jolly sea jaunts. Wilson and Owen... sorry Jackie, find us a couple of rowboats."
They both slipped away and headed for the beach. Jericho picked two barrels and with Alex's help, rolled them to the door. "Now for a bloody horse and cart." He smiled and they soon found one. They pulled the drunken driver from the seat and left him in a brothel doorway. When Wilson and Jackie returned giving the thumbs up, they loaded the barrels and set off for the beach.
Madame Claire sighed and with the help of 'big Betty' dragged the driver into the brothel hallway; they quickly took anything of value from the man and then carried him outside to the woodshed. They tossed him onto a pile of about five or six men; still all quite drunk. All had been thoroughly robbed by the 'ladies of the night' - two were grinning with bloody mouths; they use to have a couple of gold teeth - and one was missing his wooden leg. Madame Claire brushed herself down and smiled; "Come on girls, let's get to the party. There's money to be made."
She stopped and watched the cart disappearing through the gateway and rubbed her chin; "Where had I heard about four such strangers?" Madame Claire sighed and walked to the Garrison House of the fort, past a chalk board with four crude sketches and a notice declaring a Ten Pound reward for the capture of Captain Tibbs, Captain Alex Longlegs, Bad Red the African terror and a little dark haired beauty called 'Salty Jack'. It pointed out that she should be taken unharmed - Blackbeard himself wanted her - and that alone guaranteed that she would be unmolested by anyone; well, except the really stupid or those with a death wish.
Alex and Jericho followed Wilson and Jackie in the their rowboat, who was carrying the two barrels. They came up under the stern of the 'Bathsheba' and Wilson secured the rowboat to the stern; really close and trailed a fuse down. Jackie handed him the matches and he lit the slow burning rope. Wilson and Jackie quickly transferred to Jericho's and Alex's boat. They really did row away fast and headed for the beach. They stopped rowing and stared; there was a large group of people on the beach, firing - drunkenly - muskets and pistols at them. Madame Claire had just remembered and was now ten pounds better off.
Jericho cussed and pulled out his mirror; a musket ball knocked off his hat and he operated his mirror - just as the stern of the 'Bathsheba disappeared in a huge explosion - The team, complete with rowboat; vanished. Everyone on the beach had stopped partying and watched in amazement as the small rowboat landed on the shingle. The team jumped from their boat and bowed. Jeb walked up and stood in silence for a few seconds then burst out laughing; "Bloody good show! Dressing up as pirates to surprise everyone!" He thrust a beer into Jericho's hand and slapped his back. Everyone was now cheering and clapping in appreciation of the 'Pirate Experts' efforts to cheer everyone up. The party was quite a monster.
Tom sat next to Wilson - they were in deck chairs by the dying bonfire - and sipped their beers. Tom patted Wilson's arm; "You and your team are really pirate experts you know." Wilson smiled; "Glad to hear that Tom." He said quietly. Tom sighed and finished his can, throwing it onto the fire. He scratched his head; "I still don't know, how you got your hands on a genuine 17th century 'jolly boat' on an uninhabited island. Did you have it in your luggage?" He smiled and walked back to the beach, gesturing for Wilson to follow; the last boat was leaving for the ship. Wilson just smiled to himself; 'you can't really fool an old sea dog'.
The team met up in Jericho's cabin. Owen - now out of his 'party' costume - wasn't happy. Two sailors had asked him to their cabin with really big smiles on their faces. "Dirty old sods." Was all he said. Jericho pointed out that Ratbeard still had the time controllers and they really needed to disable them - but how? - the island back in 1710 would now be in uproar and everyone would be after the team. How could they return without being seen?
Alex sat on the bed and sipped her drink, she sat upright and smiled; "Only two of us can return to the island in 1710." She jerked a thumb towards Owen and pointed to herself. "Owen can return as a pirate gentleman and I can accompany him as he's sister or wife or whatever. We simply swap sexes. They would never suspect that." Jericho did smile; "Alexandra my dear. You are worth your dress allowances." Owen grinned; "According to my research, even pirate towns welcomed preachers; especially the really rotten ones."
12. THE CAPTAINS CABIN.
Alex made her way to the captains cabin, wrapped in her long bed jacket, holding her shampoo, soap and towels. She knocked gently on the door and was surprised to find Tom sitting at the captains desk; writing up the days reports. He smiled and gestured to the bathroom door. "Help yourself, Jeb is on watch on the bridge. I'll relieve him a while." He pointed to the papers laid out before him; "The Executive Officer's duties include all the report writing that captains hate." Alex smiled and walked to the bathroom door, watched carefully by Tom and stepped into the small bathroom and closed the door slowly.
She stood naked and untied her hair, letting it fall about her shoulders. She grinned; wrapping a very small towel around herself and stuck her head out the door; "Tom, do Executive Officers duties extend to getting a bloody shower working. I can't get it to start." Tom rose slowly and walked over; he was about to explain about the the two handles, when Alex gestured to the shower levers and asked if he could get them working. He grinned and leaned over the bath and pulled both handles in the proper sequence. Water splashed on his uniform shirt and trousers.
Alex leapt forward with a towel and rubbed the crotch of his trousers saying; "Tut Tut, so sorry, its my fault entirely." The little towel she was wearing slipped to the floor. "Oops." was all she said, smiling. His eager mouth was on Alex's in an instance and she pulled at the buttons on his soaking shirt, as the pair groped each other under the shower. Her hands pulled at his trousers and they fell down, with Tom kicking off his shoes. Alex took hold of a very erect, large cock and she was certainly happy about the service that it gave.
He fucked her hard doggy style on the floor of the shower cubicle; the lovers were now saturated and slippery. Tom pushed deep into her, gripping her hips with both hands, whilst Alex pushed back against his thrusts. She groaned loudly and slapped both hands against the wall; Tom was pumping her hard and fast. He reached up and pushed the shower lever's; the bloody small room would soon flood if he didn't switch the damn thing off. He leaned back against the door and it swung open.
Ensign harry stood in the captains cabin gripping a piece of paper and just stared at the pair fucking on the bathroom floor. The paper fluttered to the ground and young harry really did grin. Alex looked up and smiled [Tom still fucking her with some passion] "Well. don't just stand there boy; get in here!" Harry didn't need an offer like that twice. He was stripped down to his socks and underpants in seconds. Alex reached up and tugged down his crisp white shorts and both she and Tom said the same thing, at the same time; "Oh for fuck sake, that's unbelievable" Young Harry was equipped with a cock that would make a stallion jealous. Tom didn't lose his rhythm as Alex shoved the stiffening monster into her mouth and sucked hard - really hard - and jerked it with some determination.
It was a tight squeeze in the small bathroom and in Alex's open fanny as Harry pushed his cock inside of her. She was now on top of the young man, gripping his shoulders, whilst Tom mounted her arse with some urgency. The three lovers were groaning and cursing as they fucked each other hard. Alex had a leg trembling, cunt throbbing orgasm; twice and could only lay on the boy, gasping and tearful from sheer sexual ecstasy. She would have sworn, that Harry's cock had reached the bottom of her bloody throat! It seemed to fill her entire body, never mind her gushing fanny.
Tom groaned loudly, slapping Alex's arse cheeks and squirted hard inside her back passage. Alex continued to ride young Harry and had yet another big spurt. Tom pulled from her arse and lay on the floor panting. Alex turned on her back and Harry really fucked her; gripping her slippery tits and sucking hard on her rock hard nipples. She held on tightly to his thrusting buttocks and screamed - yes, actually screamed - as he came inside of her. He just kept coming and collapsed on top; groaning loudly. Alex couldn't actually speak. She seemed to be full of cum. But she pulled Harry's mouth down to hers and the pair kissed passionately.
Tom rose from the wet floor and wiped his flaccid cock on Alex's little towel. "Shit!" He exclaimed, seeing the clock on the office wall. He should relieve Jeb on the bridge in just fifteen minutes. He grabbed up his wet uniform and headed from the bathroom very quickly. Alex was too busy sucking young Harrys tongue to notice his departure. Finally harry pulled from her and smiled; "Thank you Miss." Was all he said and gathered up his clothes and wearing just his underpants and vest; left Alex on the floor - still gasping - where she lay for some minutes.
Alex pulled herself up on still shaking legs and pulled the door shut. "Typical bloody men; cum and run." She muttered to herself and felt Harry's cum running down both thighs and legs; there was loads of the stuff. She slowly wiped her crotch and thighs with her towel and almost jumped as there was a loud knock on the door. She managed to shout "Hello, I'm in the shower!" Jeb laughed and shouted; "Yeah, Tom said you were in there. Everything OK? he said you had problems with the damn levers."
Alex gasped out; "Yes, but he sorted me out, thank you." She smiled - he had certainly sorted her out in more ways than that - she leaned against the wall and groaned. Any other time and she would have dragged him in, but Harry's big cock had filled her up and drained all her energy. Pity; she really did want to fuck him.
She could hear Jeb talking on the phone and she looked about the bathroom; it was a bloody mess; with water everywhere. She shrugged her shoulders and set about trying to clean the damn place up. Alex wrapped her bed jacket around her still damp body and gathered her things together. She slowly opened the door and fixed a tired smile on her face; this would take a little explaining as water seeped under the door onto the cabin floor. Alex's eyes widened and she really did smile. Jeb was sitting at his desk; stark naked, smoking a cigarette. He offered her the packet and asked if she wanted one. She shook her head and pulled off her bed jacket with a happy sigh.
13. 'COITUS INTERUPTUS' - YET A BLOODY AGAIN!
Alex was bent over the desk, hands gripping the edge with her legs apart and her big boobs squashed against the hard wood. Her head was down as Jeb fucked her hard from behind. He inserted a thumb into her already open anus and asked - politely - if he could fuck her up the arse later. Alex groaned and nodded; he wouldn't need to much lubricant, Tom had filled her back passage earlier with cum
and she hadn't cleaned herself up properly. Jeb chuckled and thrusted harder, gripping her quivering arse with both hands.
They changed position, with Alex laying sideways on the desk and Jeb thrusting like a road hammer. His hands now gripping the edge of the desk for maximum effect. Alex had a little orgasm - she was already really aroused from the threesome - and groaned. She groaned really loudly when the bloody phone buzzed and Jeb casually answered it; still fucking her hard. He spoke for about a minute and replaced the receiver. "Bloody Sonar has picked up something in the bay, could be an old wreck or something similar." He panted and turned Alex onto her back, pushing the paperwork from the desk. "I'll have to go, but not before I've come." He added with a little smile.
Alex just grunted as her gripped her big tits and squeezed hard, pinching her nipples until she actually yelped. He cussed a couple of times and came inside her. She just stared at him as he pulled his cock from her and and started to gather his uniform together. He smiled; "We'll continue this another time my dear." He said simply and dressed quickly. He was gone a few minutes later. Alex sat naked on the desk and folded her arms; she was really disappointed. She eased off the desk and picked up her towel and wiped her crotch. "Another typical fucking man who came and went." She muttered unhappily to herself. She pulled on her bed jacket and yet again; gathered her things together.
Still, he was totally responsible for this big bloody ship and he had to act accordantly, she told herself as she left the captain's cabin and headed back to her own. Owen was standing outside with large bundle in his arms. He smiled and held them up; "Our new outfits are here. I'm going to be a good rotten vicar." He said and pushed open her cabin door and followed her in.
Alex
took the bundle from him and chucked it on the chair. “I need a man; NOW!” was
all she said, and Owen sighed. They fucked on the small bed, on the floor,
against the door and even on the small toilet. Owen’s alter-ego may be Jacqueline,
but he certainly knew how to fuck a woman who really needed sex. He was fucking Alex hard as she knelt on all
fours and she spurted, groaning loudly and cussing. That’s when Wilson banged
on the door and said Jericho was waiting for them and was, they in their
costumes yet.
Alex
k leaned on her elbows and didn’t smile; she felt Owen come inside of her and
he muttered; “Not a bloody again. Is there no peace for me to enjoy a good fuck
around here?” Owen patted her arse and
said softly; “I don’t know about you, but I enjoyed that.” Alex just grunted;
“I’m bloody well glad that someone did.”
14. OLD JUDEA AND HIS MAGIC BOX.
Jericho really shrugged his shoulders and repeated he didn't know; he had no explanation about the old wreck lying at the bottom of the bay. Jeb just stared at him and tapped the scope again. "Well, Tom and I are pretty sure that the damn thing wasn't there yesterday. " He walked to the window and gestured to the motor launch being lowered into the water. "Its in shallow water. Well, shallow enough for my team of divers to reach safely. We'll find out what she was." Jericho managed a smile and wandered away. "Bloody Sonar." He muttered to himself and joined Wilson by the railings, who was also watching the diving expedition get under way.
"Never thought of this; did we." He said softly to Jericho, who just nodded. "Have our sex change companions gone?" Wilson nodded; "Owen looks like a bent preacher and Alex is dressed in widow's black, complete with veil." They walked to the officer's mess; they needed a drink; even if it was only ten o'clock in the morning!
Since her legs were still free, Alex kicked Owen's feet real hard; "Trust you to ask bloody Madame Claire. Oh what's going on Madame? Oh, come this way Reverend and bring your sister! You bleeding twat!" She struggled against the ropes and failed. Owen couldn't answer; the gag in his mouth wouldn't let him. The door to the woodshed sprung open and Madame Claire, accompanied by her loyal sidekick - big Betty - came in and smiled at the pair. She was a holding a small sack and held up Owen's mirror; "I'd love to know what this fucking thing does? What I do know, is that there is nothing on God's earth - if you excuse the use of the almighty's name Reverend - existing in this time and place and I mean the year of our Lord seventeen hundred and ten."
Big Betty knelt down next to Owen and held a rusty dagger against his neck; "Shall I cut his throat and dump him in the jungle?" Madame Claire shook her head. "No, he may be worth something to someone. A good looking young boy like him is worth gold to some men who like their sex on the dark side." She smiled and gestured to Alex; "I've already sold her holes to the big boss himself. He was very disappointed about not raping that little dark haired tart. Now if I could get my hands on her, then I...we would be really in the money."
Alex just stared at her; "What fucking gives you the right to sell me you pox ridden bitch!" Madame Claire just grinned and produced a pistol from under her skirts and pointed it at Owen. "This does my lovely foul mouthed slut." She expertly pulled the firing hammer back. Alex sighed; "Alright, alright you fucking trollop. I understand." Madame Claire smiled and snapped the hammer back. "See, you can learn things quickly. I hope you learnt enough from your dead husband to please a man like the boss. Your arse had better known a big dick my lovely. That's he's favourite."
The two women left laughing together and Alex leaned back against the wall and just sighed; "Thanks to you, you twat. I'm about to have my poor bloody bum hole stretched by a pox ridden pirate!" Owen just shrugged his shoulders and mumbled something. "Shut up." Was all Alex moaned and stared about the woodshed. That's when she saw the old axe sticking out of a log.
They sneaked up to the back door of the brothel and peered in; young Delphi the African girl was stirring a big pot. They heard voices and crept under the window next door. They knelt in the dirt and listened; Madame Claire and Ratbeard were talking; about their bloody mirrors. Ratbeard paid her gold for them and walked away. The pair scurried into the jungle and hid in some bushes. Owen sat knees under his chin and sighed; "Whoever Ratbeard is, he's know what our mirrors are for. Who the hell is he?" Alex didn't know; "We need to get our mirrors back and close those bloody time portals. I know that much." She said and they pair made off; they wanted to put distance between the brothel and themselves.
They walked in the jungle for some time and found they were on the other side of the little island. It was dominated by the remains of a small volcano; long dead. They climbed and were rewarded by excellent views of the island; including Paradise Bay and the two ships in the small harbour. Owen sat and wiped his neck and face; "Just out of interest; now what the fuck do we do?" Alex slumped next to him and rubbed her arms; "Bloody insects." She said and stared about. She tapped Owen's arm very slowly and didn't smile; "There's some crazy old man staring at us." Owen looked across at a thick clump of trees. The old man gestured for them to come. His clothes were almost rags and he big leaves tied around his feet and on his head.
"It's bloody Ben Gunn." Owen groaned and the pair rose and walked over. The old man grinned with a toothless mouth; he looked nearly a hundred years old but clearly fit as a Butcher's dog. He gripped Alex's arm; "Your the lovely lady that old Breholt wants." He grinned at Owen and laughed - almost hysterically - to himself; "Your the lovely dark little girl he also wants. Old Judea knows all these things. He watches and listens. The jungle has been his friend for thirty years." He gestured for them to follow him. They both looked at each other and shrugged; then followed the strange little man into the dense jungle.
"I've been here since that bastard Captain Breholt dumped me here. Gave orders that no one should give me succour or be cut up like fish on a slab. The towns people all avoid me. Won't give me a cup of water or piece of bread. bastards." He entered a rough hole behind a well grown bush and they found themselves in a small cave. Judea chuckled; "Only old Israel Feat ever helped me. A good man."
Alex and Owen just stood; speechless and amazed. There was furniture stacked up, beds, tables and chests, Eastern carpets and tapestries. He pointed to a couple of royal looking chairs and produced a bucket of water and a ladle. He sipped and gargled; "Still fresh my lovelies." They sat and really enjoyed the water. Old Judea dropped on the floor cross legged and smiled at the pair. "Old Redbeard know who you are." He laughed again and shook his head. "Old Judea knows who you are. God's people's. "
Owen asked how he knew that. Old Judea laughed again and ran both hands over his bald head; "Old Judea knows what he knows. Redbeard and his new trollop know who you are. He's trying to buy passage on one of the other ships." He laughed hysterically, rolling about the cave floor. Finally he sat up smiling; "Old Judea loved what you did to his ship. Old Judea loved it." He jumped up and walked to a chest and pulled the lid up. Owen and Alex walked over and stared in; it was packed with gold cups, jewels, gold and silver coins. It was a fortune for the time; well to be honest, a fortune in any time.... Judea dug deep amongst the treasures and pulled out a little black box.
He held it out to Alex and as she reached for it, snatched it back grinning. "Get nothing for nothing around here my darling." Alex just sighed; "I really don't need a little box thank you. You dirty old sod." Judea laughed again and whispered; "Not even one that will take you back from whence you came?" Owen nodded; "How much would you bet that it contains a time portal?" Alex folded her arms and asked Judea what he wanted for it. He grinned and leapt around the place, then whispered in her ear. Alex just nodded; "Only if the bloody thing works." Judea nodded and jumped away from them, he slowly opened the lid and whispered into the box. He was gone. Alex and Owen stared at each other; a working time portal!
Judea was back, singing and dancing. he held out the box and snatched it away - again - when Owen reached for it. "Judea keeps his word if the lady keeps hers." Alex just sighed and pulled up her skirts. She squatted down and pissed. Owen just stood laughing. Judea watched with great interest and handed the box to Owen. "It only speaks Egyptian, the language of the Pharaoh's." He muttered and sat on the floor watching Alex brush down her skirts. "Your a dirty old pervert Judea." She admonished him, but did chuckle. Owen and Alex held hands and Owen flipped open the lid and Alex whispered into it. the pair were gone and Judea lay back, laughing hysterically on the cave floor.
He leapt to his feet and walked to the big chest and pushed coins aside; he pulled up several little boxes and cuddled them to his thin chest. He smiled broadly, then sighed; "Old Judea is a clever old castaway from time and humans." He pushed the boxes back and flopped in his hammock and swung like a happy child. From a pocket in his ragged trousers, he pulled a little figurine of the Egyptian Goddess Isis and kissed it. He had fooled so many people over the years that it made him a little sad about the future of humans!
15. PARADISE BAY - PART 3.
Jericho and Wilson sat in the officers mess and sipped brandies. Samson came over and spoke to Wilson; "Mr. farmer is quite a navy historian. He thinks that the divers have found an old pirate ship from the 1700's. Apparently the stern is missing and there are some human bones scattered about the seabed. Must have sunk with the crew on board. " Wilson thanked him and asked if they had identified the wreck. Samson shook his head and re-filled their glasses; "Not yet." He said and wandered back to the small bar and kitchen.
Wilson rubbed his chin; "That's funny, Owen in his research said that the 'Bathsheba' apparently sank around 1710. He thought it was lost in a storm at the time." Jericho nodded; he did remember the briefing when they first came on board. "Little did we realise that it was us that sank the bugger." He said quietly. Wilson discretely checked his mirror and looked concerned; "They should have been back by now or at least called in." Jericho stared out the window and grimaced. "My gut tells me that something is wrong." The pair rose and headed for their cabin; thanking Samson as they left.
They operated their mirrors and Jericho set his to find his missing detectives mirrors. They appeared in a bedroom and stood by the huge open window staring at the naked woman, face down on the bed, snoring; It was Mrs. Carol Harker! Wilson pointed to the bedside table and whispered; "The mirrors are in there." Jericho crept across and gently lifted the bag. He nodded at Mrs. Harker and smiled with real glee; "Shall we?" He said quietly and Wilson just grinned.
Mrs. Harker sat on the beach wrapped in just some leaves and watched the motor launch from HMS Steadfast approaching. She sighed. Those bastards. They know she can't say a thing about what happened to her - if she didn't want to end up in a loony bin - but on the bright side, she will inherit all the dead twats money and there's bound to be plenty of horny sailors on board!
Jericho and Wilson were hiding in the jungle by the fort, watching the goings on. Redbeard had apparently fallen out of favour with Blackbeard and so had Madame Claire. Jericho was patiently waiting on a call from Mr. Albian [a very Senior Time Controller] and finally his mirror buzzed. He answered it immediately and just sighed. He thanked Mr. Albian and turned to Wilson; "A breach of the time line occurred here and now. Two people travelled back to the islands in the bloody year 68,510, 241BC!" Wilson just groaned; "I hope they keep an eye out for bloody dinosaurs." Jericho shrugged his shoulders; "Lets go and find the pair of twats before they become lunch for some bloody big reptile." The pair vanished.
They made their way through the steaming jungles, following Jericho's mirror which was set to search for two bodies; Alex and Owen's. They hoped their souls were still with them. Jericho stopped beneath a huge tree and slowly looked up. He laughed out loud and shouted; "Come down you pair of twats. Some bloody dinosaurs have very long necks!" A very relieved Owen and Alex climbed down and were handed their mirrors. Wilson just laughed at the dishevelled pair. Jericho said quietly; "Now lets close those time portals." Owen told them about old Judea and his big chest. "The old bugger never told us that it was one way." Jericho rubbed his chin and asked Owen to describe the old man, which he did. Jericho chuckled and turned to Alex; "Did he ask you to pee in front of him?" Alex was absolutely staggered and nodded slowly; actually going a little red.
Jericho sighed; "Judea was a priest back in Ancient Egypt around the time the Great Pyramid was supposedly built. He's been time travelling for centuries. He likes to play a special little game with very pretty young women who find themselves in difficulty. Sounds like he's aged a bit, but that's not surprising for someone who has travelled in time so much. He must be nearly five thousand years old now." The team operated there mirrors had returned to Paradise Bay in 1710.
"So there was no time portal in that little box?" Owen sounded quite amazed as Jericho explained that Judea himself was the bloody time portal! "That one will only close when he dies." Jericho said, adding; "Its very very rare. Temporal Intelligence believes the daft old bugger thinks a small figurine of the Goddess Isis is the device. But its himself." Wilson said quietly; "He's quite harmless really. Never changes anything of importance. He just likes to see pretty young women piss in front of him. Quite a harmless hobby really." He chuckled when Alex retorted; "Not for bloody some big man." Jericho waved them into some bushes and gestured down to the beach; a big bearded man was being put into a rowboat and set adrift. He was stark naked; apparently, he had been literally stripped of everything including his dignity.
Owen consulted his mirror and shrugged his shoulders; "Its a certain Norman Dawson. A missing soul from 1891. Missing from Scotland. He must be Ratbeard the pirate." Jericho nodded and sighed; "Well, who the hell now has the time portals?" Wilson pointed down to a big man standing by the shoreline. "That's Breholt. I bet he has acquired the damn things." Jericho knelt thinking; "We'll collect that twat later and return him to 1891. But first, we need to get the bloody time portals off Breholt. Now how do we go about that?"
Then the 'infamous' lightbulb snapped on in his head and Jericho really smiled at Owen; who just groaned. Alex patted his arm; "Well, if it goes wrong, you'll either end up with your throat cut or your bum hole stretched." She really grinned at that. "Oh what's going on Madame? Oh, come this way Reverend and bring your sister!" She muttered with some sarcasm, but smiling with a little satisfaction.
