John grinned as he helped her get dressed.  He playfully slapped her ass as she got her pants on.  Yes she had finally admitted she had an interest in him and had explained the kiss she had given him.  When she was finally dressed properly, they left the cabin and went up on deck to the stares of her crew.  They could see that the two were close together and that something had been going on below.  Something that their captain had allowed for she had not called for help.  She ordered them back to work and they obeyed, some with small grins on their faces as they looked back at her.  They all had a feeling that their Captain and little sister had made her choice for a man.  She seemed a bit happy in the way she looked and walked.  He had to chuckle at her comments to her crew.  His was probably about the same and they all looked at him with questioning eyes as he boarded the Sea Raven.  "What?"  he asked.  "I can't go for a social call with out all of you acting like a bunch of women gossiping about something.  Back to work."  he chuckled and headed off to his own cabin.  A short time later he again called his officers in and went over the plan once more.  They would fly the Spanish Flag once they spotted their quary.  Three ships flying the Spanish Flag would look to the Treasure Ship and the escorts that they were indeed Spanish.  Normally Pirates didn't go about in numbers.  That would allow them to get close and turn to give the escorts broadsides and begin to manuver to give the escorts another broadside before boarding them.  Rosy, and Flemming would take on the escorts and they would take on the Treasure Ship.<br/><br/>When morning came the three ships again set sail, ready to put the plan into action.  John checked their position and then took out his spy glass and scanned the sea.  A smile touched his lips as he saw the treasure ship, but a puzzled look appeared next as he saw no escorts.  He scanned the sea around them, thinking perhaps the escorts were hanging back or had gone ahead some to set a trap for any fool that might try to attack the Treasure Ship.  Come in as they attacked and blow the ship out of the water.  He signaled to have the Spanish flag hoisted and when he saw the other ships raise the flag, he had the other two ships signaled to watch for the escorts.  They sailed on towards the Treasure Ship,   It got closer and closer and still no sign of any escort vessels. It was strange indeed, and it made John wonder what was going on.  As they got closer he could see the crew of the Treasure Ship through his spyglass watching their approach.  The pirates cannons were loaded and ready to fire, their crews hidden by their guns.  At the right time John yelled out to hoist the colors, and the Spanish Flag was taken down and the Jolly Roger was hoisted.  The gun crews came alive and rolled out their cannons.  John went to the starboard side of the ship and Rosy took the port side.  Flemming hung back to make his run after they did to give them a third broadside.<br/><br/>The Spanish Crew upon seeing the pirate flag hurried to stations trying to load cannons and roll them out.  John could see ane with a trumpet signalling those below deck to battle stations.  But for the Spanish it was all to late.  John's and Rosy's ship closed the distance fast and unloaded their boradsides into the Spanish Ship, tearing the main deck to pieces as well as part of the sides of the ship.  Cannons and men were hurled from their positions.  Men with muskets on both ships fired as well taking out crew members as the ships passed.  Once past the Spanish Ship the two pirate ships came about as Fleming made his run and tore the ship up even more.  Sails were taken in to slow them as they came along side once more but this time closer and the grappling hooks were thrown, and the ships were brought together.  Flemings did the same but came along side the Sea Raven and pulled in close and lowered planks so his crew could come across and join John's in boarding the Spanish ship.  The combined force of three crews against the Spanish made the fight short and sweet.  The Spanish Ship was taken and the hatches to the cargo hold opened.  Below was the treasure they had sought.  But John was still worried about where the Escorts were.  They had yet to appear and he wondered what had happened to them.<br/><br/>Taking no chances, John had watches posted, guns loaded and men readied to cut the ropes on all the ships.  But no Spanish Warships appeared, as the three crews began bringing the booty up from the hold.  Chest upon chest was brought up, filled with gold coins, and bars, along with silver as well.  The pirates laughed and cheered as they saw the treasure and hurried to take it aboard the three ships.  Courious about where the two escorts were, John found the Spanish Captain and asked him.  "The fools went after an English Frigget, hoping to take a prize."  An English ship?  John asked and got the answer of where that had happened.	He approached Rosy and Flemming  "Once we are loaded I intend to sail help the English ship.  You two are now free to do as you please, but I would welcome the company and help, if ye be of a mind to."  He was after all and Englishman and his crew as well.  He didn't want what happened to him and his crew to befall the English ship.
