The day went by quickly, and for Jane it was over before it had begun. Captain Jackson had not been seen since the morning, and Mordecai had worked harder than ever before. Distracting himself from the strange looks given to him and his sister.

   The rest of the crew were dying to ask Jane or Mordecai what the deal was, but the senior crew members didn't leave them alone all day. The Captain wanted to explain it to everyone when the whole ordeal was over and done with, so he used Raff to instruct them to keep quiet, and they were watched just in case.
   The last thing the Captain wanted was for his crew to freak out and do something rash.

   Jane came up from the galley, her sleeves rolled up and her hair messy. She arched her aching back and walked over to the port side of the ship. Sighing, she leaned against the rail and bowed her head, not willing to see the curious looks shot her way. She looked down at her hands, surprised to see them trembling. Biting her bottom lip, she lifted her gaze to the stars and fiddled with the necklace around her neck.
