again if it sounds like the script it is and everything except Catherine is owned by disney

The night was passed in utter chaos. Jack had spent it at the wheel, compass in hand as he and the crew sped towards Tortuga.

"Lights up ahead captin'!" yelled Marty from the crow's nest.

"Ah, we made good time!" Jack smiled as a smile slowly etched itself in his worried face. "Lets go men, snap to! Act like you're being paid!" Jack said, jumping onto the railing of the deck.

Jack looked at the docks of Tortuga slowly inching closer through his spyglass. The last time he had made port when she was there, it had not gone quite as he had planned. He smiled at the memory; why she had to be so difficult, he would never understand. But then again, it was to be expected.

"Mister Gibbs!" Jack called out.

Gibbs, who was drinking from his flask came over to where Jack stood.

"Aye captin."

"I want you to come to shore with me, I feel this little charade may need more than my enforcement. " Jack said in a calm voice.

"Enforcement?"

"Aye…I do not expect Catherine to be quite…understanding of my intended proposition. I expect she will require some encouragement. Savvy?"

"Aye" Gibbs nodded but took a great wig from his flask. He had met Catherine and was more

than aware of how she could act near Jack. He did not want to be anywhere near either of them, especially if Jack was trying to convince her of something.

"Captain, your chariot awaits you sir," cackle Pintel.

Jack Sparrow looked over at the ramp that had been set in place for traveling on and off the ship.

"Resupply men, I shan't be gone too long." Jack said, turning towards the ramp, "Mister Gibbs!"

Gibbs followed reluctantly, his flask of rum close at hand.

Jack stepped off the ramp onto the floating dock. Tortuga was Jack's home away from the sea. A rogue pirate port that could be smelt miles away. The streets were filled with varying degrees of filth. Drunken men swayed around the streets as the occasional gunshot was heard from overconfident pirates. Music leaked out the open doorways of the taverns. Gibbs walked up next to Jack

"You certain she is still here Jack?" he asked.

"Last I heard," Jack said as he stepped out a pirate that had just been thrown out of a tavern, "she was working as a tavern but that was before well, I compromised the wellbeing of her ship."

Jack paused in the middle of the street grimacing at the memory of the certain incident. Gibbs looked at him with a smile on his face.

"Ah Jack, when will you learn?"

Jack shook his head and continued walking ducking as someone threw a rum bottle in his direction.

"Hopefully never. I like myself, I think I am very good company. Why mess with perfection aye mate? Besides," Jack said as he held out his compass

Jack turned towards the door of a tavern and sidestepped someone getting thrown out.

"Ah, here we are!" he said

Jack entered The Flask and Sword and scanned the crowd. The scene was typical of every pirate tavern wand was not surprisingly any different from ht streets of Tortuga. Gibbs had followed Jack inside.

"You still think she's here?" asked Gibbs scanning the crowd.

Jack looked at Gibbs with a look of confusion.

"Of course she's here; I just said she was here. Honestly Gibbs if you're not going to pay attention its best you just don't say anything aye?"

Jack scanned the crowd again; most were just drunken pirates sharing largely exaggerated fables of their lives at sea. A few bar maids walked around flirting with the pirates and serving them as many tankards of rum they could pay for. But she was nowhere to be seen.

"Oy! You there," Jack yelled walking over to the bar, "have you seen a woman about yay high, who seems to be the daughter of the devil himself?" he asked.

The bar maid laughed. Her laugh was loud, the kind of laugh you'd expect to come from an old sea captain.

"Yeh men' Cathrn'? She chortled, "Aye, yeh she be de span' 'o the dev'l"

Jack leaned back as she let out another belch of laughter.

"Ah… that'd be the one!" he said, "know where I can find her?"

"I hav'n seen 'er since yesserday. She could be at 'er house, it'd be de one at de top 'o de hill. De big one." She explained.

Jack turned and signaled to Gibbs.

"What's wrong Jack?"

"Nothing, just making a side trip before we go back to the Pearl, one more place to look for that damned girl."

Gibbs laughed but noticed how concerned Jack looked and with good reason too. The last time they had made port with the Pearl, she had almost made away with it.

"Jack? Jack Sparrow! I can honestly say I'm glad to see you!"

Jack stopped for a moment, then turned to see Will Turner standing behind him, paused for a moment, then turned and walked out the door, followed closely by both Gibbs and Will, and down the street toward the edge of the port town.

"Jack! The compass! That's all I need, Elizabeth is in danger. We were arrested for trying to help you. She faces the gallows!" yelled Will.

By now Jack had almost reached the outskirts of town and a large house could be seen on a small hill overlooking the sea.

"As much as I would love to help you and your certain distressing damsel,or…rather damsel in distress, either one," Jack said turning to face Will "but I have certain concerns pertaining to a certain dilemma which must be resolved at once or it will certainly become a rather pressing inconvenience savvy?" Jack answered with a smile.

Will stood uncertain as Jack turned to swagger up the hill followed by the ever faithful Gibbs.

"What does he mean?" asked will

Gibbs looked at him for a moment.

I have never seen jack this worried in all the years I've known him. Somethin's troubin' Jack, enough that he wants to visit Her" answered Gibbs.

"Her?" said Will.

"Aye"

The house was sturdy, built of stone and overlooking the sea; any window had a clear view of the water. The steps leading to the door were covered with coral and stones from the beach. Jack paused at the door and turned to Gibbs and Will.

"No worries mates, Catherin and I go way back, thick as thieves we were, nigh inseparable we were…have been…before…" Jack grimaced as he remembered his past with the elusive Catherine.

"I'll watch your back" Gibbs told him.

"It's me front I'm worried about" said Jack as he turned to knock on the door. Just as he was about to knock however, the door was opened by a woman.

"Catherine! Darling!" said Jack, arms outstretched as if for an embrace.

"Jack Sparrow" was the reply, as the woman stepped toward Jack and slapped him.
