The Unwilling Accomplice (Book 5) - Plot & Excerpts
His head still hurt, but most of the pain was gone. His eyes fluttered open and he found himself staring at the hold of a ship where crates and barrels were stacked on the opposite wall from where he lay. The vessel lurched side to side as it hurried on its way to an unknown destination. A wall with a plain wooden door separated the hold from the center of the belly of the ship and from clear view of any escape. A small lamp hung by the door and provided the only light in the room. He shifted and pulled at his restraints, but he soon realized he wore manacles on his wrists and ankles that couldn't be opened by brute strength. They were also connected to the wall, restricting him to within two feet of the hull. Fred looked at his waist for his staff, but the sticks were gone. His ears picked up the sound of boots on boards outside the entrance, and the door soon swung open. In the doorway stood Captain Lee, and he had his usual grin on his face. The captain stepped inside and closed the door behind himself, but not before Fred could see there was a flight of narrow, steep stairs that led up to sunlight.
