Hey, Pedro, her captain chimed.
What is going on?
Dunya managed to blink, but no more.
The captain explained that he had a good news, bad news situation here.
They had been boarded by pirates and would now be sold into slavery.
A shout in a language Dunya didn't understand silenced the captain.
But the captain said he was getting to it, please.
Opening her eyes fully, Dunya saw the half dozen men in her crew standing frozen by swords and guns.
Since you're the only one who knows the manifest, they're going to take you with them to barter.
We will be sold, the captain said.
No, I don't know that... Dunya started, but her captain cut her off.
You are a very intelligent, very modest young person, he said with a knowing nod.
Dunya stood rooted.
Oh, yes, he sighed.
They would all be searched and sold.
But he told the pirates that the only way to get an exact accounting for everything on the ship was Pedro.
Pedro could and would help them, right?
DoƱa allowed herself a nod.
