"I'll ask you again, where is the sacred pearl?" Jacob squatted in front of the ghost pirate captain.
The ghost captain gave Jacob a frustrated groan, "As I have told you before, I do not know."
Jacob took the ghost's pirate hat and slapped the latter's head with it. "Don't lie to me. How would you not know when you are the one who stole it?"
The captain gave him a fake laugh. A laughter that sounded more like a desperate cry... like he was making fun of himself. I watched him curiously because I found it odd. It was more sooner than later but the pirate began to sob. Then, his entire crew sobbed with him.
Jacob turned to Paco who shrugged his shoulders and turned to Neville. Neville then looked at Lowen… then Lowen to Gondro until we all turned to each other shrugging our shoulders. The pirate ghosts crew wailed.
Jacob stood up and crossed his arms. He cleared his throat so the other captain looked up to him…. tears on his eyes and mucus on his nose.
