Salute To The General

Nathan was initially against bringing Kerry on his rescue mission on the Ghost Ship, but after listening to her words, he thought she had a point. Perhaps she is right. Her expertise with locks will come in handy on our way forward.

However, Nathan remained doubtful of Kerr's abilities as he gazed at the inexperienced-looking girl before him.

"Though you are a disciple of the God of Thieves," he said, "you may not have fully learned his skills. Why should I trust you?"

"How did I infiltrate The Dishonorables' office, break open their safe, and steal their money if I don't have skill?" Kerry replied confidently.

Nathan laughed. "Since you're so confident in yourself, you'll get a chance to prove yourself.

"I will give you a simple test. Pass it, and I'll bring you along to the Ghost Ship on the rescue mission.

"If you fail, however, you'll wait wherever is comfortable for news of your master's safe return."

Kerry gave him a haughty glare. "Fine," she said with uncharacteristic solemnity. "Test me, Mr. Cross. I simply must prove my prowess."
