He rolled his eyes at Crutchy. "You're friends are not going to come for you...and I doubt they'll do anything to me. You've betrayed them, good sir. They would do worse to you than I."

Nicholas wasn't about to lose Banshee. He never lost.

Looking down at Banshee he smiled softly. "Of course I won't hurt you...I don't hurt people I care about..." He watched Crutchy for a moment, and returned his attention to the girl in front of him.

"Now Now...stop crying..." He rubbed the tears off her face with his thumbs patting her cheek a bit. "You can go upstairs, as long as you don't do anything silly..." He smiled again and kissed the top of her head. "But I know you've learned your lesson now, haven't you?"

[Banshee O'Hara]

Banshee smiled at his kindness, how could she betray such a man. All he did was show her kindness. "Oh Yes... I've learned my lesson, and I wont do anything wrong anymore; I've learned my lesson." She assured him, giving him one last hug before walking around him, and finding her way between the men behind him. Never had she been treated as such, and never had she'd have the comfort that a kiss gave. "Thank you." She called back.

"I didn't betray anyone!YOu don't know anything!I was here to help them, if yo ucared to ask!"He shouted without even thinking. His leg screamed in pain but he tried to ignore it. "You don't know who you're dealing with. Jack will help me. He knows I'm his friend and I as doing this for other reasons that I wouldn't dare to tell you."He glared, knowing his spying had failed and maybe NIcholas was right. He would probably never be back with his friends again.

Nicholas rolled his eyes, sending down the two men behind him with a motion to tie the boy up again.

"Honestly...all that hootin and hollering is going to get you no where. Thou doth protest too much." He smirked.

[crutchy]

Crutchy yanked back as he was prodded and glared at the leader. Did he even notice that his leg had been broken? The man probably didn't even care. Where was Jack when he needed him?

"I WILL get out of here. You can't keep me here forever."
