"Will, they've taken Elizabeth!" Rachel Bason told one of her best friends.
"I know, that's why we're going to the jail," Will said, remarkably keeping his head about him.
"What's in the jail?"
"A pirate. Captain Jack Sparrow. He knows where to find the Black Pearl and Elizabeth."
Rachel felt light-headed, "Not the Black Pearl. Poor Elizabeth."
They came to the jail cell keeping Jack. Rachel looked at the man lying on the straw covered floor. "That's the famous Captain Jack Sparrow?"
Will nodded, "That's him."
"A bit scruffy looking, even for a pirate."
Jack jumped up, indignant, "Who're ya calling scruffy looking?"
"I'll be outside, Will," Rachel exited shaking her head at the pirate.
Will and Jack had made some sort of a deal and the three of them proceeded to steal, eh sorry Jack commandeer, the Interceptor. Once out into the open ocean, Jack and Will had a little scrap about Will's father being a pirate and a good man. Will got hot-headed, Will got beat, and Jack made smart-ass comments. Will went below deck to tend to the few wounds he had. Rachel studied Jack, he was handsome, charming, and had an impressive vocabulary for a rogue. Rachel watched this Captain Jack until he felt her eyes on him and turned around to meet her gaze.
"Whaddya want, lass?"
"I think I've met you before, Mr. Sparrow."
"First off, drop the mister, makes a pirate feel like a good, law-abiding citizen. Bloody awful feeling. Secondly, I've never been to Port Royal before me, so I don't know where you could've seen me."
Rachel spoke softly, "The Black Pearl attacked the ship I was on, with Will. Will was rescued, I was captured. I was unconscious a fair amount of the time except for seeing brilliant blue sky and hearing a male voice mutter about 'Damned Barbosa dropping off a girl, a young one to boot, on this god-forsaken island.' The next thing I remember is being at Port Royal with Will and Elizabeth."
Jack looked her up and down and then his eyes got wide, "Yes, I remember you. Getting you to Port Royal cost me my finest rum plus I lost my favorite ring to barter myself to Tortugua."
Rachel drew herself up, "You saved my life. I want to express my gratitude Captain Sparrow."
"Drop the act, missy."
Rachel's eyes betrayed the fear she tried to keep in check, "Whatever do you mean?"
"I was with you on that island, I saw your arm. I know your secret."
"Please don't tell Will. I wouldn't wanna lose his trust, or Elizabeth's neither."
Jack just leaned closer to her, "I know what was going on in that not-so- pure mind of yours. I think we can arrange a deal we'll both be happy with."
Rachel's breath caught in her throat. Just before Jack's lips descended to hers she heard him say, "I won't tell Will you're a pirate."
