coordinates and the words Ile Inconnue in curlingscript.Thatsunknown island, isnt it, Sir? asked George. Do youthink that could be the Refuge, Sir?ByJove, the girl did have the answer! Theo said excitedly. Ithink youre right, George.Georgecopied the coordinates into Theos log and they left Jeanette andDooley alone in their cabin to enjoy the rest of their wedding night.Theo and George returned immediately to the Order map, all thoughtsof sleep forgotten. Using the coordinates, they located a red-ink eyeon the map, but there was no land mass associated with the location,nothing to indicate that there was anything there at all. Checkingtheir own map showed nothing but blank ocean. Still, Theo was in highspirits.CaptainMontgomery will know something, Im positive! Well find him,George! Well find DeSade and hell pay for his crimes!Georgeentreated Theo to get some rest, pointing out that their progresswould not be hastened by Theo staying awake, and Theo allowed Georgeto finish undressing him.Theyllhave celebratory sex, Henry decided. Thatll put Theo tosleep.Doyou know what I was thinking about? About George?No,tell me.Hesso tan where hes exposed to the sun, his back and chest and shinsand feet, but when hes naked, his ass and thighs and cock are allpale, arent they?Henrypictured it, the contrast, the way it would set off Georges cockand draw attention to it. Legs drawn up, dark to the knee, exposingthe dusky pink of his asshole between white buttocks. All the paleparts of his body reserved for Theos eyes, Theos use. Yes,Henry said, clearing his throat, mouth suddenly dry. Of courseyoure right.Martinlaughed. Youre picturing him, arent you?Henryblushed and laughed, too. How could I not?Theysailed into port early in the afternoon, Theo spotting CaptainMontgomerys little boat, the Rusalka,tied at the dock. Theo and George made haste to Captain Montgomeryshouse at harborside and knocked at his door. The Captain was greatlypleased to meet Theo and George again after several years and waseager to hear of their adventures in the interim.Thisisnt just a social call, Im afraid, Captain, Theo told him.We think we have a good chance at DeSade, and we want your help.Martinsvoice for Captain Montgomery was similar to the burred tones he usedfor the Dauntlesssailors but with a bit of a wheeze for the sake of age. Whatever Ican do for you, Theo, I will do happily. I get bored in myretirement, you know!Whilethe Captains parrot squawked and cracked nuts on his shoulder,Theo and George told the story of DeSade and the Order of the RedEye, the strongholds marked on the map, the fiends daughter, andthe tattoo on her back. Montgomery listened to it all thoughtfully.Iknow this place, Montgomery told them. Its known by manynames. Ile Inconnue. Ilha Invisivel. El Refugio. Its a placewhere sailors of all stripes go to lick their wounds, to lay low, andto make or break alliances. Its an island with no ruler and nolaws, but strict codes of behavior and dire consequences for thosewho dont abide. Most of those who visit the island are pirates andoutlaws, but youd be as welcomed as any. However, so would yournemesis, and it sounds as though he might be well-established therealready.Haveyou been there,
