Shit! Too late! The bounty hunters appeared to set off the entire dock as it was descending into chaos. Grana seemed to take care of the weaker hunters attempting to extract money out of their bodies, but the rest of the docks contained more than enough people to overwhelm the lot of them unless they thought of something.
OK Sammi, think. Gotta be something around here that we can use to get off this pervert-ridden island. She looked around as best she could through the mayhem that was occurring around them before spotting a shop off to the corner. In the window appeared to be their ticket to freedom. "Be right back guys! Take the gear and start heading for the ship!" she called out as she sprinted to the store.
Inside, she found a dusty old knick-knack store, helmed by a wrinkled old man. "Eh?" the old shopkeeper said at the sound of a customer. "Who's that now? Come a bit closer there I'm a bit hard on the eyesight there, you see."
"Of course sir," Sammi answered as she approached the counter. "I was wondering if I could purchase that flag in the window there. The one that appears to be merchant based?"
"Oh yes, oh yes, young lady. That flag is a merchant flag, found it in a shipwreck many moons ago," the old man prattled on. "Back in my younger days, you know, but it's a fine flag, I think I can part with it for 500 beli."
"500?" Damn, that's a ripoff. Whatever, Grana can cover it. Sammi dug through her pockets and pulled out the necessary amount for the flag. "Here sir," she plinked a few more coins on the counter. "And a little extra for the story."
"Well thank you my dear. You take care of that flag now. Oh, and if you find out who's making that racket outside there, would you tell them to keep it down? Hard on an old man's ears you know!"
"Sure thing," Sammi replied as she hurried out of the store.
The riots were still going on outside, but her group appeared to have gotten everything in the vicinity of Peter's ship. "Here!" she said, tossing the flag on board for Peter's inspection. "We can try to sneak out as a merchant ship. We used to do something similar on the old boat to sneak up to government ships to raid them. It might work here. The guy said the flag was old, but it should do if the Marines are occupied with that Butcher guy."
