Seated in his leather chair, the one-eyed sea wolf gazed callously at the flickering images on the television as it blared with the latest breaking news."Fellow citizens,it is with a heavy heart that I bring you news of a tragic incident on the high seas. A cruise ship carrying prominent individuals, including the daughter of our esteemed president, was recently attacked and seized by a group of ruthless pirates. The situation remains unclear but we can only pray for the safety and swift return of those involved."The words struck him like a cannonball of revelation, sparking a wicked grin across his cruel features. His twisted mind whirred with schemes and plans, for he knew this was an opportunity too tempting to resist."Ahoy, what a mighty fine day it be, a true treasure in and of itself, my ticket to a paradise of plunder and booty, aye!"As the pirate captain mused over his plans, a sudden knock at the door disrupted his thoughts. With a scowl and a crusty voice he yelled,"E

MISSISSIPPI RIVER,South Beach Biloxi Hotel.Richard Rawlings sank deeper into the cool waters of the hotel's swimming pool, feeling the tension in his muscles easing, his eyes closed as he soaked up the sun's warm rays. suddenly, he heard a splash and opened his eyes to see a stunning woman in a bikini entering the pool. Her curves and beauty left him breathless.As she swam closer, he recognized her as Kate Spencer, the daughter of his mentor Admiral Rachel Spencer. He had once been deeply in love with her daughter,dated for a while until Scarlett came between them.Richard felt a surge of attraction, his pulse racing as Kate drew closer. Her tantalizing figure and charming smile tested his self control.Kate seemed oblivious to the effect she had on him, swimming closer with a bright smile."Hi Richard, enjoying the pool?" Richard's heart skipped a beat when he heard her voice,a voice that had once filled him with desire. "Kate... I didn't know you were around," he said trying

Richard turned his head at the sound of a faint creak, his eyes widening in horror as he registered the glaring axe hurling towards him.His body reacted faster than his mind as he darted sideways, narrowly avoiding the axe's deadly impact. The weapon sunk into the mattress with a thud, its blade biting deep into the bed's fabric.A low growl erupted from the assassin's mouth, his eyes flashing with fury."Bloody bastard, I was trying to be nice by giving you a swift death, now I have to kill you slowly."Richard's fingers found the pistol tucked into his waistband in an instant. With lightening speed,h fired a handful of shots at the assassin with precision.But to Richard's horror, the assassin remained steady, seemingly unfazed by the gun nor its bullets as he suffered no damage.A sinister smile stretched across the assassin's face, his eyes flashing with a creepy glow."Sorry to disappoint you Richard, bullets can't harm me, I can't be killed."The assassin's confident words sen

"My Lord, since the pact between you and the aliens was forged, you have refused to use their power openly." One of the 12 elders of Skullers group spoke, addressing their leader with a hint of fear and curiousity.Elder 2 spoke, "My lord, may i inquire what date you intend for the president's daughter now in the aliens custody?"The deep voice from the throne boomed, the leader of the Skullers group sneering, "The president's daughter is mere collateral, a pawn in my grand design. Perhaps, I shall offer her to the aliens as a sacrifice or a breeding vessel to produce new warriors for my empire."Elder 1, feeling ignored, pressed on, "My Lord, I implore you, let us emerge from the shadows and unleash a global assault, catching our enemies off guard. The time for subtlety is over."The Skullers leader's fury was kindled, his voice thundering, "You dare question my authority? I am Baldur the Scourge, no one dares question my rule."Elder 1 was about to speak, but before he could utter

The sound of several speed boats vibrated through the ocean as the occupants fired gunshots at Richard's ship. The boats kept swapping course as they eagerly pursued the ship A wicked grin sat on their faces as they chorused "Ahoy! Ahoy! Ahoy!" "Catch the bastard, we want Richard Rawlings head on a plate!" "Ahoy! Ahoy! Ahoy!" "Catch the bloody bastard, we want his skull on display!" Their united chorus was interupted when a sniper's bullet hit one of the pirates head A sinister smile appeared on Richard's face as he cocked his rifle, laying on his stomach on the ship's deck. "You want my head?" he taunted. "Come get it, dickheads." One of the pirate quickly scanned with his binoculars to see who took the shot. "Hahahahaha" he laughed, revealing his disfigured teeth. "I see him." He pointed. "The bloody bastard thinks he's in charge." Another pirate snatched the binoculars, "Give me." He checked "It is him." He laughed, "Sea wolf is going to love thi
