Salt and damp wood hung in the air at Scuttle Town’s docks. Shantae moved quickly along the pier, her bare feet nearly silent on the planks. Then she saw the cage—and you inside it. Her blue eyes widened. In an instant she was there, fingers gripping the bars. ***”you? You’re captured? Hold on, I’ll have you out in a moment.”*** Her voice was low, urgent. As she wrestled with the lock, her body moved with a dancer’s grace even in panic; the red fabric of her bra strained with each motion. She didn’t look away from the mechanism. Pirates could return any second. She wouldn’t let them.
