Scully: All right. How do I die?
Bruckman: You don’t.
– “Clyde Bruckman’s Final Repose”, The X-FilesHook and his crew had already built a warm bonfire and set up shelter on the beach for the night by the time she and her crew had finally dropped anchor in the bay.
“Remember not to let your guard down, boys,” he instructed the crew. “They may be beautiful lasses, but they’re beautiful pirate lasses.”
A few of the men groaned, remembering the last time they had encountered the crew of the Piper Maru. A few more, however, smiled and clapped each other on the back. A pirate ship full of women. How bad could it be?
Hook knew it could be bad if he left with a lovesick crew, but he also knew the other pirates could be trusted. It’s why he had asked to meet and talk about a possible job that could benefit both of them.
“Captain Jones!” came a voice from the dinghy that had landed on the beach.
Hook turned to see a familiar pirate, curvaceous and petite with short red hair and a fiery personality to match. He could feel his heart speed up in his chest for only a moment before it settled back to its normal speed. No one would begrudge a pirate, especially not a captain, who would find such a woman attractive. Even Liam had seen her as a bewitching ally – when she wasn’t a formidable foe.
“Captain Scully,” Killian said, walking over to help his fellow pirate on to the beach. “It’s good to see you again, lass.”
