Drabble:
Sins of the Father
Jack sat silently at the bar, listening to one wild story after another being spun. This had quite possibly been one of the strangest days that he'd ever faced and that was saying something.
He'd been delighted to dock the Pearl at the port in Tortuga. Rum and women were the only things on his mind when out of the blue some bloody scallywag and walked up and asked his name.
"Names Captain Jack Sparrow," he'd replied proudly. No sooner had the words left his mouth, than the man's fist connected with it
'What in bloody hell?'
"Thought ye were Sparrow. Touch my woman again and you'll get worse than a bloody mouth."
Jack took a long swig of his rum, doing his best to enjoy it despite the cut on his lip that he did nothing that he could recall to deserve.
"…and then I killed 'ol Gallagher and took over his ship."
Jack finally had enough and looked over at the man telling the story.
"All fine and well, but 'ol Gallagher died nearly fifty years 'for ye were even born, mate." Jack said with a smirk. The man gave Jack an annoyed look then turned back to his captive audience.
"As I was sayin'…" He continued again.
'Bloody idiot,' Jack thought as the story started anew, the name Smith in place of Gallagher. He did his best to ignore the fact that most of his crew was buying into everything that was being said, almost enamored with the blubbering miscreant. Not more than ten minutes later a nice lil strumpet made her way over, prowling for business.
"How you boys doin' tonight?" She asked.
"Doin' just fine, love. You come over here lookin' for some company?" She smiled brightly at the older man. Even for his age, he wasn't a bad looking guy, so as long as he had money she had time.
"That all depends," she said coyly.
"Well, love, you've come to the right place. Jack Sparrow never leaves a woman without proper company." The woman gave the old man a funny look and then glanced at Jack who was eyeing him up now.
'Bastards usin' my name again...'
"But I thought…" She began.
"His bloody name is Nigel," Jack said as he stood up and smirked at the woman before tossing a few shillings down on the table. "Sure me father will show ya a good time."
