A Return to Shipwreck Cove
On board the Pearl, Jack ordered that they set course for Shipwreck Cove. Concerned by the young captain's orders, Joshamee Gibbs went to discuss his concerns with the captain.
"Jack, are you crazy?! It would be suicide for you to even think of setting foot in Shipwreck Cove. Your father, the Keeper of the Code has sentenced you to death for continual refusal to follow the Code. They will kill you if we return there." Gibbs reminded his young friend/captain of the punishment set him for past crimes.
"I know the heavy punishment placed on my head by me own father, Mr Gibbs. And I deem it necessary for me to try and redeem meself in me father's eyes. So in saying so it now be of the greatest importance for me to return to Shipwreck Cove." Jack replied.
"Aye, cap'n." Gibbs responded, wearily.
At that very moment, in his cabin aboard his ship "the Misty Lady" Captain Teague sat thinking about his son and where on earth he may be.
"Where are you, Jackie?" Teague whispered as he went through the list of pirates who he had sentenced to death and who had run for it, Jack being one of them. Out of all these pirates on that list, Jack had been the hardest to sentence and the one that had caused him the most pain. He had hated condemning his only child to death and was still wondering whether or not he had made the right decision. As Keeper of the Code it was really his only choice considering the severity of crimes committed by Jack. On the other hand as a father it made him sick to even think of what he condemned his son to.
Looking around his cabin, he found some of Jack's clothes from when he was a child. He picked up one of the shirts and held it to his chest, remembering holding a young Jack in his arms when Jack had been sick. These memories reminded Teague how much he cared for his son. Dropping the shirt, Teague grabbed the list and a pen and crossed Jack's name off the list.
He then went and from the deck of his ship watched the horizon for the black sails of his son's ship, The Black Pearl. This became routine for Teague to spend most of his day looking out to sea waiting for his son to return to him. After five days wait, those black sails Teague had been so eager to see were on the horizon. It then dawned on Teague that he hadn't told the guards or other pirates of his change of heart, which meant Jack was still in danger. He rushed to the dock and told the guard on duty that the Black Pearl was on its way into port and that no one was to go on board but to come and get him when arrived.
