Kit was no fool. He had been uneasy the entire voyage out, picking up sublimnally on the radish's thinking. When it bounced overboard, he realized UT would not be far behind.
"Back to the Bacardi!" he ordered. "We've been double crossed! UT still has the treasure map aboard the Flossie Jetsam, and I think he just so happens to be in the vicinity!"
Now if there is one thing a pirate hates, its being double crossed. There IS the Pirate Oath of Honor, after all! Kit had made a deal with Sir Reginald and Sir Reginald had shown all the grace of a rotten tomato - NOT a radish!
The pirates swore an oath as one, and were back at the Bacardi in no time.
Meanwhile, aboard the Flossie Jetsam, Sunsparkz handed Sir Reginald back to UT.
“I say, old chap. I think we may have a slight problem,” said the radish to UT.
Sure enough the sails of the Bacardi had appeared on the horizon and were fast gaining ground – I mean sea – on the Flossie Jetsam.
“Oh, dear,” said Brianna. “Do you suppose we could just send for carry out this time?”
Before UT had a chance to reply, the Bacardi had already drawn up close and fired a warning canon shot across the Flossie Jetsam’s bow.
Signal flags were hoisted on the Bacardi. The pirates needed an answer to a burning question:
“What do we do with Flint?”
