This right here, along with a few other things, is confusing me. It seems as if The Pirate King was blocked or something happened that the spy did not go through. And the only people who were blocked or redirected was GM and Slick, if I read that right.
About GM: I am not sure why the baddies would block a baddie, unless they were trying to keep him underwraps. I think I am confusing myself even more. I will shut up now.
