Page 13 of Peacemaker


  “I…” Kali stifled a grimace. Though the pirates were to blame for much of the mess, it had been her desire to take over the ship that had put Dawson in jeopardy in the first place. It didn’t seem right to be anyone’s hero over that. She had just fixed the problem she’d caused and nearly gotten herself killed in the process.

  “My grandma said I could come help you with it,” Tadzi said. “If you’ll have me. I could carve the masthead!”

  “I’d like to help too,” Kéitlyudee said. “What I owe you can never be repaid.”

  “I…”

  “You’re not speechless, are you?” Cedar smirked. “I’ve never seen that on you.”

  “I…don’t know what to say,” Kali said.

  “Thank you is a popular choice,” Cedar said, then told Kéitlyudee, “She’s hard to impress and has difficulty showing gratitude.”

  “Do not.” Kali tried to punch him in the shoulder, but her ribs hurt too much and she aborted the motion.

  “See?” Cedar asked the others.

  Kali glared around the room. “Shouldn’t you all be working?”

  “Aye, Captain.” Still smirking, Cedar saluted and ushered the others out of the room.
