Sally Island 27

But before she could draw her sword to make a kill, Fleming had already swiftly knocked Catherine down and disarmed her. Mudshark was shocked to his marrow, he was very absent minded towards Catherine, he didn't think Catherine would have swayed so much from loving him that she would also have plans of hurting him, not emotionally this time but physically. Every buccaneer that saw the scuffle ran towards the scene to get a full glimpse of what happened. Too much attention instantly focused on Fleming, the young boy that was constantly looked down upon. He was at some point ruled out as being too feminine to even be a guy, that even when tasks were being allocated, he would be skipped. That's was a huge plus for the little man, saving the Life of Mudshark. Nobody saves Mudshark, nobody had saved him before, he always saved others. Fleming was a new recruit that just joined the ship, he had made tremendous moves to get Mudshark's attention, but never got  it. Fleming was said to be a runaway, he wasn't comfortable with the way his family treated their slaves and whenever he protested, he got treated like a slave too, so he decided to take off and join the cause against slavery. At least that was what he told his fellow buccaneers, but this night he made a difference. He has also been watching Catherine noticing her every move as much as Aisha was watching but was faster in reacting to what he observed. 

Aisha wasn't too happy at the other hand, not that she wanted Mudshark dead, but she felt Fleming stole her thunder. Aisha being a shy girl also didn't like gaining approval or recognition based on her looks or the fact that she was a girl. She is the type of girl that like getting things done and getting her deserved credit and he wanted Mudshark to notice her potentials and ability, very convinced that he was the type that love ladies that make things happen, not watch it happen, she needed to make an impression which Fleming just robbed her of. Mudshark at the other hand became rather very interested in Fleming, being impressed with him, he appointed him the look out deck hand. Putting him in charge of overseeing every kind of surveillance, internally and externally on board their ship. That alone gives him the opportunity to directly report to Mudshark, Aisha didn't like the idea. Although Fleming was a guy, she still felt bad , the young lad beat her to her game. She would have been the one who directly reports to Mudshark. She had to do her job still, and maybe by doing so, she will grab something. 

She quickly dragged Catherine to the base of the ship and brought her interrogation tools out. Aisha had made herself the interrogation officer since she gained her freedom, she was one of the stubborn slaves captured, and she didn't make it easy for her slavers. She put up a huge fight and wrestled through the whole process of her capturing, she didn't stop until she was beaten down to weakness and chained on both her legs and arms. Unlike many others who were captured, she knew the implications of being captured. Many of the captured slaves usually think it was some kind of prisoner of war thing or for a period of time, some even zeroed their minds for death, they never expect being taken stiff in compacted ships across waters for months to a place they won't see their family ever again but not Aisha. She had lived in Freetown with runway and freed slaves, she had heard tales of slavery and what happens when you become a slave. So she dreaded it too much, being that her parents were once slaves, she knew every bit of it's implication. So she fought it with all her strength, she didn't stop until she got on that ship. And she was also strong, because she was a blacksmith back in Freetown, she had excessive energy which annoyed the Oyibos who Captured her. They took turns in raping her after overpowering her and also beat her up, it was a constant process through out her trip on the slave ship. She didn't imagine she could ever be free again, with what the captors did to her, she developed a huge form of hatred for the Oyibos and she couldn't express it with her fellow Oyibo buccaneers, so she became the Torturer since it was basically Oyibos that needed interrogation most of the times. 

Each time she interrogated anyone, she got all the information she needed. She believed Catherine would want to kill Mudshark for walking out on her for cheating on him, it wasn't a possibility for Aisha. She strongly believed she was sent, which Mudshark of course doubted so she decided to what she was supposed to do, which is interrogate Catherine. It was her first time interrogating an Oyibo woman, and she intended having a good time doing it. To make it more fun, Catherine was the kind of Oyibo that believed every black person should be a slave. Catherine when being taken away by Aisha thought she was just a servant girl sent to go lock her up in a room. Not knowing she was about to interrogate her, she made a racist statement that threw Aisha mentally off. Coupled with her attempt to kill Aisha's crush and mentor, she created her own doom. It didn't even take thirty minutes for Aisha to get what she needed from her. She was actually sent by JohnBull and was meant to distract Mudshark on the shores while JohnBull and his crew sailed in and wrecked Mudshark. But since Mudshark wasn't succumbing she chose to stab him, realizing how less influence she had on him unlike before, she was very hurt. JohnBull was presently sailing towards Mudshark but Catherine didn't mention that. 

Finally Aisha got the moment she needed, a free one on one time with musdshark, initially to tell him her findings with the interrogation session with Catherine. But of course she had more on her plate, an opportunity she sought, down the deck it was time Mudshark was supposed to come get his answers. He previously gave Aisha a day to pull any information of they were any. Mudshark couldn't let himself believe Catherine would sway as much as wanting to murder him. He had concluded within his mind that Aisha won't be coming up with anything useful, initially he would give Aisha as much as a week to pull an interrogation, or three days in a case of urgency. Catherine's wasn't that urgent, at least to him at the time. He usually would give Aisha at least a week to run a similar situation but he obviously still had a soft spot for his ex-wife. Which Aisha was very uncomfortable with, making the interrogation was a most wanted opportunity for her. Given the much effort she put into it to make a valid squeeze in twenty four hours, she was glad she came up with something to thrill Mudshark. Mudshark gave a specific hour he was going to come for whatever Aisha had, and she knew he was a punctual sailor, and would be there when he said. She quickly stripped and went for a bath, in disguise of not knowing when Mudshark was coming, but she had her seductive plans. As she stepped out of the bathroom Mudshark walked in while she was stark naked. It's been months if not a year he's been at such point. He had totally forgotten how the body of a woman looked like. Being a gentleman, he wanted to step out to give Aisha whatever privacy she needed, but she called him back to the point he was confused.  Staring between Aisha's legs, and her firm breasts starring at his chest racing with a heart beating faster than usual, there wasn't much to talk about, Mudshark loved what he saw and wanted a piece. Taking his belt and weapons out, Flemming walked in.
