I pointed at the footprint and her brows furrowed, "What is that? Is there someone else on the island aside from us?"
"That was what we wanted to know. Do you think your ship is already here and you have people looking for you?"
"If they are, it wouldn't make sense for them to go in the opposite direction of where I was. Additionally, it looks like whoever was walking through here was trying to hide their tracks and only missed that one spot, I doubt my men would even bother with such a thing."
