Chapter 13: Suspicious
John Smith had been coming back to his cabin rather late since they had arrived in the new world they figured something must be going on there was talk around the camp among his men that he must have come in contact with indians maybe he was negotiating with the chief one said or maybe he's keeping fallen in love with another indian girl another one said "Whatever it is Smith would tell us" said Lon "He's a big lad he can take care of himself" replied Ben.
Thomas was just sitting around the fire listening to the conversation not sure what to say or if he should say anything at all when he suddenly spotted John walking in the front door of the cabin the men had built for him as a surprise he thought it he should go and tell John about all the talk that has been spreading around not only to be aware of it but to find out what was really going on. John heard a knock at the door "Come in", "Oh Thomas what can I do for you?", "John there has been a um a...", "Come on Thomas just tell me were friends", "There has been talk among the men that you've come in contact with indians and that's why you've been getting back here so late is that true?", "Thomas I can assure you I've scoured almost every inch of this land and I can assure you there aren't any indians", "Then what's been going on?", "Thomas I've just been out exploring nothing more if there was anything I found or that would put us in danger you know I would tell you and the men", "Well yes", "Then there is nothing to worry about thank you for telling me let the know exactly what I've told you and they'll quite down", "Very well goodnight John", "Goodnight Thomas."
But the men weren't the only ones with suspicions back in his tent Captain Richard had been keeping a very close eye on the boy before coming to the new world he went to the prison where they were holding his brother Governor Ratcliffe who told him to watch him very closely Smith was full of tricks and lies he would do anything in his power to keep the men away from the gold those savages were hiding not only that he would turn the men agains't him and Richard wasn't about to let that happen he would become the most powerful and rich man in all of England not only that he would become king and release his brother from jail so they could rule together side by side and nothing nothing was going to interfere with his plan.
