Richard and Emily were not only extremely wealthy , but hugely proud of their gran daughter Rory as they attended her graduation ceremony at Yale . After all
she had finished the year as top student with a doctorate in journalism. As a reward they were spending the summer aboard Richards yacht on a caribbian cruise . Even their daughter Loralai was having the time of her life ,they visited Island after Island Barbados, Jamaica, Antigua , and Bermuda .
Now as they approached the island of Nevis they saw another yacht approaching, approaching at great speed.Boom there was an almighty thud as the two yachts collided at the sound of gunshots the Gilmores froze in terror. Do not be alarmed ! said the figure in front of them I am Emilio and as you are now in the waters of the island of Katuloo , you are to be my honoured guests. Your stay will be a pleasant provided the USA government agrees to our claim for independence.
You are Mr Richard Gilmore president of USACC banking group holidaying with your most charming Wife Emily, elegant daughter Loralai and your very beautiful gran daughter Rory, how old are you my love I am not your love and am 21 years old Rory spat back defiantly , Good Emilio replied
I also have a daughter of 21 her name is Zora you will be good friends, Now
please make your selves comfortable it will be a couple of hours sail to the island.
The Island of Katuloo was large surrounded by golden sanded beaches but the mainland was mostly covered in dense jungle, with a population of 322 most of the adults pirates by trade.After showing the Gilmores to their luxury apartment actually nothing more than a rotting wood cabin,Emilio pulled Richard to one side. so here are the terms, you and your wife will return to the USA to negotiate our independence by the end of the year 3 months away a fair deaL yes ? your daughter and gran daughter will remain here as our guests. once you have succeeded in your task they will be freed immeadiatly . if you fail well I pray you will not fail!!
Don't worry we will have this nonsense over and done with and you will be back at Lukes drinking coffee before you know it !Richard and Emily hugged the girls before being escorted back to the yacht by their captors , Loralai and Rory waved the pair off as they stood on the beach with tear filled eyes fearing for their future.
