Summary
Shane isn’t sure if he should thank his lucky stars, or curse them.
When they’d found the wreckage of a second ship on the shore after yet another storm, Shane had been chilled to the bone to find that it was the Boston Raider’s hull shattered on the rocks. His own ship, the Voyageur, had been smashed on those same rocks some three months previously.
Rescue was unlikely.

Summary
“Hollander, we had best helmsmen on the sea and we could not beat those rocks, there is no ship coming-”
Shane talks over him, eyes darting towards his remaining crew and lending strength to his resolve. “It’s our best plan for getting off of the island. We play it safe, stick close to the shore-”
“Then play it fucking safe, Hollander!” Ilya barks. “No one is stopping you. And you are not stopping me from thinking that maybe I don’t want to wait and rot when there could be other option on this fucking rock!”

Summary
“Yes.” Ilya breathes. “And then, we steal ship.”
That catches Shane’s attention.
“Just one?”
“Hollander, I know you are pirate, but do not be greedy.” Ilya chides.
