She looked around again. Her lace panties were missing, too, a fact that made her chuckle until she noticed the time.

Shocked, Dana used her cell to call a cab and quickly dressed, taking a few minutes in the bathroom first to make herself more presentable. She snatched up the card and the bandanas on her way out.

Topside, she squinted in the bright light of the new day as she carefully made her way off the boat and down the pier. Still, her pirates were nowhere in sight. Slightly disappointed and ignoring the second glances she drew from those who spotted her in her evening attire, she slipped into the back of her waiting taxi, the bandanas clenched in her hand.

The driver peered at her in the rearview mirror. “Where to?”

She heard the question but was more focused on the card in her hand. She’d flipped the card over and spotted a handwritten message, which read:

For our most precious treasure.

We won’t forget you, Dana.

Your gentlemen pirates, Jared and Lance

In a different handwriting, a postscript was added.

P.S. Thanks for the adventure.

Always, James.

“Ma’am?”

With a smile splitting her face, she looked up and answered, “Home, please.” After giving the cab driver her address, she sat back and held the bandanas to her lips, her gaze on the card in her lap.
