Summary: A little more detailed version of the 'lost bird' scene in AWE.
Inch
Jack opened the door, gripping the chest in one hand. He glanced around and, seeing no one, started inching toward the rail. If he could just make it to the Pearl, he'd be home-free. But. . . it just wasn't meant to be.
"Aha ha! Lookee here, boys. A lost bird. A lost bird that never learned to fly." Davey Jones started toward the Sparrow, intent on destroying it.
'Bugger!' Jack thought. 'I was so close!' He continued inching in the direction of the rail as he thought of a way to distract Jones and his fish-face crew. 'Rambling always works.'
"To my great regret. But!" he paused just long enough to finish the run to the rail and grab a rope. "Never too late to learn, eh?" with that brilliant retort he jumped up on the rail and smashed the chest on the rigging holding the rope in place, sending him flying. 'That'll teach 'im for makin' a bird analogy!'
