The whole tavern erupted in cheers when Dove awoke, but she brushed them off and headed to the captain's room. Captain Brogen had been an accomplished pirate, but he retired and started a gang to make sure he would die buried in gold. "Brogen sir." Dove knelt on one knee.
"Ahh. The Fallen Angel." Brogen's voice boomed through her ears.
"Brogen sir, I was contacted about a job."
"Who contacted you?"
"Never mind that, he offered me 20 mil. for burning a book."
Brogen shifted in his seat, "You can tell me all about it when you've returned from the ball."
"Ball?"
"We received word that a gang member of MS-13 is gonna be there."
Dove's breath caught and she nodded, slipping out the door and heading towards the dressing room. She put on a bright blue strapless dress that flowed onto the ground and a blue butterfly mask.
The ball was so bright and full of people. Dove looked around until she saw him. The boy who she'd faced off against earlier. She licked her lips, this was gonna be fun.
