Chapter One

A New end and new beginning

The tall man came down the stairs heavy boots hitting the imbalance stairs with a loud thud. All eyes were on him as he came down with a small smile playing on his face. The crew's eyes and mouths opened with shock and many gasped at the sight of the man, his facial features and striking looks reminded them of someone they had lost not so long ago.

Marty: It couldn't be could it??

He asked no one in particular, everyone was still getting over the shock and many remained lost for words.

Gibbs: Aye it could

He replied, Elizabeth and Will looked at them both with puzzled looks, but turned their attention back to Tia who had a smile on her face.

The man stopped on the step before the last one, so he was towering over them. Everyone looked at him expectantly; those that didn't know who he was were waiting for an explanation. The man looked around making a quick eye contact with the remaining crew members and his eyes rested on Elizabeth. He paused on her for longer than the others, and then spoke loudly addressing everyone.

Man: So, What has become of my son?

He asked loudly. Elizabeth gasped and Will stole a quick glance at her.

Will: She was acting funny lately; I think she is hiding something

He thought to himself.

Gibbs bravely stepped forward, and everyone looked at him wondering what he was going to say.

Gibbs: Well Jack had a bit of a run it with none other than Davy Jones himself, and had a rather nasty experience with the Kraken.

Grant Sparrow: I see, well then

He stepped down off of the last step and pushed past them. He began pacing around the small hut lost in thought. The crew turned around and watched him questioningly.

Marty: Err Captain

Grant spun around and looked at Marty with piercing eyes.

Grant: Aye

Marty: What are we planning on doing?

Gibbs: I think he means how are we getting Jack back?

He interrupted. Grant didn't reply he just continued pacing and was once again lost in thoughts. His pacing began to drive Elizabeth insane she couldn't take it back and forth and back and forth.

Elizabeth: Argh I can't take this any more

She screamed inside her head, her thoughts overwhelming her. Grant paused and walked up to Elizabeth. She glanced up and saw he was starring straight at her as if he was reading her mind.

Grant: Elizabeth right?

Elizabeth: Yes

She responded shocked that he knew who she was. Will looked at him questioningly thoughts raced through his mind.

Will: How did he know her??

He wondered

Grant: Come with me

He told her, before turning to the door of the small hut and leaving. Elizabeth gave a nervous look to Tia but she returned it with a smile. She gave a glance at Will and smiled, his eyes remained cold and hard though and the expression he wore on his face was blank. She looked at him puzzled but decided not to ponder it and instead followed Grant out of the small hut and out into the swamp.
