Moving back towards the upper deck when she was done unpacking a little, I sighed heavily. It was the time I've been dreading. Telling them that they were actually going to have to listen to everything this woman was going to tell them. I was expecting a lot of complaints, but I was ready for them. I didn't really care what they were going to think about this because they were going to have to listen to me no matter what. I was expecting them to start challenging my judgment though. They would get over it eventually though and then we'd be one big happy family again... Well, maybe not the happy part. Some of these people aren't very happy at all.

"Alright. Listen up. This is your Deputy Captain Haze," I started, demanding everyone's attention as I stood on the side of the ship, balancing myself expertly. "I don't want to hear any back talk, any bellyaching, or any complaints about this. You don't have a choice in who I bring on this ship and you never have. So, if you don't like my decision then you can leave right now. And I mean, right now." I pointed to the side of the ship, making everyone remember that we were still perfectly docked. Everyone looked around nervously, but no one even made a move to leave. "Good then. Let us be off." I stepped down from the side of the ship, expecting the ship to be out of the harbor within minutes now.
