Chapter 1

"It's not right,"Bill murmured "No' right at all" . It had been two weeks since the mutiner and all that haunted Bootstraps dreams were images of Jack walking the plank,that look Jack had given him,IT had felt like a steel rod going right through his stomach.He had just woken from one of those dreams.Jack had been his best friedn since childhood,and he had let Barbossa convince him that Jack was a bad Captian leading to betrayal,even if Jack was still alive and got off the island,he'd never forgive Bill."I'll tell the Captian,"he said to himself"In the mornin',he'd keel-haul me if I woke um up now"
Bootstrap woke to the sound of cannons,do they have to do this this early? he thought as he rolled out of bed and slipped a shirt on.He walked up on deck and saw everyone running around,he went to see what was goiung on,but was stopped by Ragetti "Bou' time you woke up Bootstrap,Barbossa wants you in his cabin,"he said "What does he want now?"Bill asked "Search me"RAgetti said and walked off.
Bootstrap made his way to the captians cabin and opened the door,it had already changed,the shelf had been taken down wher eJack had kept his supply of rum,and replaced with a crimson drape and table,thwals were covered with the drapes,and sitting in Jakcs chair was Barbossa,the godfersaken monkey perched on his shoulder."WEll I see someone finally woke up!"Barbosa said with a laugh.Bootstrap just stood there,emotionless,staring at the room "What the devil has he done to the cabin ":Bill thought "I see ye admirin' the decor Bill ,what ya think " "Wonderful"He said,but not really knowing what the man had said,thne he remebered what he was going to tell him "Barbossa,what you did to Jackw as wrong,I' wasn' right with the code,not righ' with it wha'soever"he said,pulling himself to his full height .He watched as Barbossa got up and went over to the shelfves,full of maps,and pulled out the code ,the monkey jumping off his shoulder as he went,Bill watched him lay the battered parchment on the table "Show me Bill,where does it say anytihn' like that in the code?"HE said raising his eyebrows at Bill "I couldn' show ye right now bu' it must 'avew sometihn' about it" Bootstrap argued making a gesture at the paper.Barbossa shok his head,Bill knew instantly he'd pushed too many buttons on the mans patience "Bill,Bill,Bill"he said laughing slightly "Your too muhc like Sparrow himself"then came the arm around the shoulder,Botostrap got even more nearvous than he was before "And god know we don' need another one of him aboard,"The grin turned to a frown and Bootstrap Bill soon found himself in the brig.
