CHAPTER 24: Near Drowned Andrea
***
POINT OF VIEW: JACK MAXRIDE
Pinagmasdan ko ang kabuuan ng Black Striker matapos ang nangyari. Wasak wasak ang ibang parte neto.
Umuulan pa din ngunit hindi na gaano kalakas ang hangin, nalampasan din namin ang Vortex. Tiningnan ko ang buong crew. They're so dead!
I walked towards the isle, they were looking at me with fears in their eyes.
"Pilot!" I called.
"Y-yes Cap'n?" he stepped forward.
"You're the man of the helm. The helmsman! Where were ye mate?" sinusubukan kong hindi magalit. Pero nag-iinit pa din ang ulo ko.
"I'm sorry Cap'n. N-nakatulog ako, l-lasing kasi ako"
"Wrong answer!" I moved towards him and gave him a hard punch on his face. Ang pinakaayaw ko sa lahat ay ang iresponsable! He fell on the ground.
"Gunners!" I called those person in charge of the guns. Nag step-forward naman sila.
"Cap'n we made sure na secured ang mga pistols at hindi nabasa ang mga powders." mabilis na pahayag ng master gunner. Tumango lamang ako.
"Surgeons!" pagtawag ko. Nag step forward naman ang mga babae sa crew. Hindi lahat, selected lang, those who were just elected with knowledge who act as surgeons. "Make sure may mga gamit pa kayo. Check all the crew members kung may mga kailangang gamutin," I commanded seriously.
"Sea Artist!" ang pinakagusto kong bugbugin sa oras na ito.
"Y-yes Captain?"
"Come here," I said with authority. Nanginginig naman siyang lumapit sa akin.
"Aren't ye the one who's expert in reading the ocean?" tinitigan ko siya sa kanyang mga mata. "Hindi mo man lang ba na predict na magkakaroon ng bagyo?" I asked dangerously.
