The days between James going to the ocean got further apart. James began to even doubt any pirates would show up, especially with the vigorous army that protected Port Royale.<br/><br/>It was one of the days that James had decided to wander out of the forest and onto the beach. The sun was beating down upon the water producing a glare that almost made it uncomfortable to the eye. James had rarely walked the entire length of the shoreline to the docks, but he decided it would be nice to watch the horizon from a shadier spot. When James reached the dock he took a seat almost slipping under the dock. He could hear people talking but did not pay any notice.<br/><br/>All of a sudden he heard a female voice yelling sternly and his attention took a full three hundred and sixty degrees. He began to listen in on the conversation, but it wasn’t until he heard the dock master say the word “Pirate” that he became fully aware. James sprung up with intense force to see where the commotion was coming from. He saw two girls being harassed by a group of men.<br/><br/>James immediately jumped onto the dock standing up to the dock master and group of guards. “What’s going on here,” James says forcefully. “Get out of here, this is none of your business,” One of the guards replies. James’ eyes switch from the group of men to the girls and back to the men. “I believe this is my business,” James replies as he walks up between the two girls placing his right hand on his hip feeling for his black-powder pistol. James had heard just enough of the conversation to make sense of things. “You have no right to wrongly accuse these two women of anything. They are close friends to my family and will be sailing with us in the upcoming months.” The dock master stared furiously at James looking for any slight flinch that he could call James’ bluff.<br/><br/>Although James was not much of a talker, he felt fairly comfortable during this interrogating conversation. James looks to the girls and back at the dock master saying, “Well, are you going to take them majestic horses over there or are we going to have another problem.”<br/>
