Chapter 156: Be Gone

 "What are you talking about?" Delaney asked in confusion, "Why do you have to leave?"

 "I'm afraid it's going to be necessary."

 "Why? What happened? Last night you said you would stay."

 "Well yes but that was before I saw how your people were going to react to what took place," he answered, pacing and popping his knuckles.

 The sound made Delaney grimace.

 "Ian I don't understand..."

 "They hate me," he said stopping and turning to her suddenly, "Your people blame me for what happened last night to you and Vincent."

 "What?" she asked in surprise, "But you had nothing to do with it."

 "It doesn't matter Delaney I'm a pirate. Besides the guards told them Ilona is my sister so now they're especially angry with me."
