“But where are the witnesses to carry out the charge of murder?”
“You can do that easily enough. Once he is in prison, there will be no difficulty in bringing up men to swear to anything we ask of them. Some of your own band, Captain Jack, could do that.”
“Yes, if they were well paid for it.”
“And so they shall be.”
“But where is the money to come from?”
“Oh, you must find that.”
“Me?”
“Yes, you. Rob Colonel Blood, or whoever you choose. I care not what you do, so you obey my commands.”
“I will do as you wish,” said Captain Jack, who was over anxious to get away from such horrible-looking people. “Let me go, and I’ll fulfil any commands you like.”
“So be it. Remember your oath.”
