Don't Snatch the Keys!

The story of a dog and two pirates

" Here you are, poochie. Yes, just sit here we us, eh? You don't want a bone do you? No!You're too smart for that. You're not giving up those keys..." coaxed the balding pirate Pintel from behind the cell bars of Fort Charles, Port Royale, Jamaica. The other prisoners were asleep. They we're always whistling and shouting "he-ere doggie!" enough to make anyone's ears hurt and reason enough to stay away. No, just stay nice and friendly-like, quiet, befriend him, don't be snatching away at the keys every instant. That was the way to do it…

"Grab it! Aw, Pintel-it's right there just takes it!"

"Get the key!"

"Ye have a death wish?"

"Snatch it!"

Annoying they were. Shouting again? When they were asleep they snored and when they were awake always a bother. Here they were trying to tell a man who had once crewed the Black Pearl what to do-hadn't they learned anything from the last time they had been behind those bars?
Pintel rolled his eyes and ignored them, giving the Dog who was sitting close to the bars another scratch behind his furry ears. Clink! A sudden weight was in his hand, he glanced down-the keys! He took one glance around before placing them back in the Dog's mouth. Almost inaudibly he said,"Nice poochie...give 'em to me later eh?"
He withdrew his hand behind the bars. The Dog held his head to one side, then scuttled back under the bench away from the cells.

Pintel shook Ragetti awake. "Wha..."

"Tonight, Ragetti."


Note: This will follow Pintel and Ragettiup to the point where they find the Pearl in Dead Man's Chest and it might follow the dog for a bit longer. Nomajor spoilers here, don't worry.This actually branched off of a role play for DMC and I've decided that I've neglected writing about the two pirates long enough. Plus, isn't the dog cute?
