PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN
-A FATHER RETURNS-
CHAPTER 1
Carefully maneuvering his ship into the harbor Captain Jack Sparrow hummed his favorite song to himself. With a smile on his face he finally docked his ship in Tortuga and the anchor was lowered into the black murky water below.
"Tie the ship up to the dock," he shouted at Gibbs and the others on board.
"Aye Sir," Gibbs said grabbing the rope.
Jack walked down to the deck and steppes onto the dock. He took a deep breath and smelled the air around him. It smelt of food and RUM! Which sounded good about now. He then turned and faced his crew fixing his hat.
"Rest, Party, Drink, do as you like. We will rest here for the night and pick up what we need, especially rum."
"Aye sir," the crew said to him as Gibbs shook his head, laughing in response to what Jack had just said, but knowing he was serious.
Jack shook his head and walked on down the dock. The only thing on his mind right now was the sweet smell of his beloved rum that he yearned for. Jack made his way to the first pub he found and ordered his rum. Sitting by himself in the corner of the room he listened to the other sailors and pirates talk. He watched as they drank and danced drunkenly with the girls in the pub.
{I need to find myself a girl.} He thought to himself taking another swig of his rum. His ear then caught the conversation of two sailors. Carefully, Jack listened in.
"I saw it with me own two eyes," The first one said.
"Sam, you only have one eye," the second responded.
"True, but I know I saw him Keith."
"Are you sure you saw what you saw?" Keith asked.
"I know it's hard to believe, but I saw him, I saw bootstrap Bill and there is no question about it."
When the man said that name, Jack sprayed his mouth full of rum out over the table and wiped his mouth on his sleeve.
{What a waste of good rum} he thought bitterly.
The two sailors looked at him dumbfounded. Jack got up, grabbed his chair and took out his mug, and sat down next to the two men.
"Did I hear you right mate?" Jack asked.
"If its what I said about old Bootstrap Bill then you heard right." Sam retorted.
Jack looked at him a moment, then placed his hands on the table next to his mug. "Bootstrap Bill, I thought he was killed!" Jack stated while picking up his mug.
"And that he was," Keith responded giving Sam a dirty look.
"But he didn't die," Sam said raising his voice in anger.
"Where did you see him?" Jack questioned, wanting to know more.
"I was sailing on a ship with my captain just three days ago when another ship pasted us. When I happened to look over at the passing ship, I saw Bootstrap Bill being thrown in the brig. Just ask any other member of the Whirlwind and they'll say the same thing," Sam said, mater of factly, sipping his drink once he was finished.
Confused about a lot of things he had heard, Jack stroked his chin, but was willing to believe the man. "Your sure you saw this ay?" Jack asked again.
"He's crazy! Don't listed to him," Keith replied.
"I am not crazy, I know what I saw," Sam yelled at his friend.
"You are too and." Keith began to say but stopped.
Jack looked ant the two men, who were staring past him. Slowly, Jack turned around to see what they were looking at. There in the doorway of the pub stood Bootstrap Bill turner.
"Bloody hell," Jack said in a low voice staring at the pirate.
The three men watched him for a moment then Bootstrap Bill turned and walked away from the pub.
"I told you I saw him." Sam shouted.
Jack stood and made for the door, running out of the pub, but stopped quickly after exiting the dim lit building. The black hired captain looked around, but could not find a single sign saying ware Bootstrap Bill had gone, Jack looked around again but could not find the old pirate.
"It was him." He said aloud. "I need to get Will" jack mumbled to himself as he then headed off to find his crew.
