6:53 a.m.

"Mhmm, that's a dollar."

"Things better pick up soon...."

I shot the pirate a look; she was lying on the porch with her head hanging over he edge.

"We've been here two minutes. We have a customer."

"Longest two minutes of my life. I'm booooooooooooooooooooored."

I rolled me eyes and took a sip of coffee.

7:10

"So we're done, right?"

"No."

"But no one's been here since that first boring guy this morning."

"They'll come."

"BO-ring!" She did not sound like a fog horn.

"Isn't there something for you to do...? Ship to crash...? Village to plunder...?"

This time she rolled her eyes.

"Leaving me to my own devices? Fine."

And she was gone before I could stop her.

11:29

She strolled casually through the gate, hands in her pockets and whistling. Suspicions = raised.

"What've you been up to?"

"Plundering."

"What? Where?"

"Villages."

"Hmph. Fine. If there's been trouble, I don't want to hear anything abou--- is that an alarm clock?"

"What?"

"I hear ringing... do you hear ringing?"

"Absolutely not."

And so on, and so forth, every ten minutes for the next two hours.

3:17

"A tracking anklet? Really?"

I shrugged.

"Neal let me borrow it."

"Neal's not your character."

"Neither are they," I mentioned and pointed to the vampires in the back of my mind. "Doesn't mean they can't stop by for a visit. Remember when you had Edward tied up in the kitchen?"

The pirate chuckled.

"Fair enough. So, house arrest... alright. How long?"

"Until I stop hearing alarms ringing in the house."

"Oh...that long, huh?"

"Better get comfortable."
