For the Sake of Rum

Chapter 2: Fight or Flight!

xxx

Will was getting suspicious now, Jack was acting a lot stranger than usual. So instead of leaving as he had been told, Will crept over to the open doorway and looked inside.

Jack was lurking around the empty countertop; he was tiptoeing and kept glancing around as if afraid of waking some unseen person.

Suddenly Will heard a noise from the open storage room, someone was singing.

"Ninety nine bottles of rum on the wall, ninety nine bottles of rum! …"

Jack had obviously heard it too because he had frozen in his tracks. Unsure of whether he should make a run for it, or stand his ground and hope for the best. But after a moment of waiting for something to happen, nothing did, and Jack continued on his way towards a cart identical to the one Will had been left in charge of.

'What are you up to now?' Will thought to himself curiously as he watched the spectacle.

Jack had reached the cart and was now working his way towards the door with it. He was almost there when he noticed Will and jumped a foot in the air, knocking an empty bottle off a table.

'CRASH!'

As they watched the bottle break into a thousand pieces, and heard the sound of it echoing around the entire tavern, the man's singing in the other room stopped.

Jack looked up from the mess of broken glass on the floor. His kohl-rimmed eyes were wide with shock, and his jaw was set in a tight grimace. He managed to whisper one word.

"Bugger."

"Who's there?" The man's voice yelled angrily. He had obviously heard the commotion too. Will looked from Jack, to the storage room, then back to Jack. 'Now what?' he mouthed as the sound of heavy footsteps came echoing towards them.

"Run!" Jack replied before pushing past Will with the cart in hand and taking off up the hill. A second later a large man (Joey) came bustling out of the storage room carrying a heavy wooden club. He instantly spotted Will standing in the doorway with a cartload of unpaid-for rum.

"Hey, You!" Joey bellowed angrily, "Trying to steal from me are you?" Will took a step backwards pulling Jack's rum with him.

"N-n-no! I assure you, this has already been paid for by my friend." He stuttered with a nervous glance at Joey's weapon.

"Oh really," Replied Joey sarcastically, "And where exactly is your 'Friend' right now?"

Will turned and looked up the street behind him. "Uhhh…" he said uncertainly. He could see Jack hiding behind a fruit stall and gesturing wildly for Will to make a run for it. Suddenly a realization dawned on him, Jack had not paid for the rum at all! "Oh dear…" Will gulped as Joey began advancing towards him. "You have to understand… This is all a big misunderstanding!" He pleaded, but Joey just shook his head and raised his club menacingly. Apparently, he didn't understand at all.

"No one steals from me and gets away with it!" he growled.

Will looked around frantically and seeing no other way out, decided to do as Jack had said and make a run for it. There was no going back now.

As he and Jack took off up the hill through the center of town, pushing the two heavy carts in front of them, they could hear an infuriated Joey come stomping out of The Shifty Seagull and start howling at them while they ran. "Help! Somebody stop them! Thieving scoundrels! They stole my RUM!"

Upon hearing Joey's infuriated ranting, the nearby red-coated soldiers rushed to stop them, pulling out their rifles and firing at the two as they tore up the street, refusing to stop.

Jack and Will darted away from the shooting officers, dodging bullets and pedestrians as they ran. The streets were now empty, the citizens of Port Royal all hiding from the chaos inside shops and houses. Will noticed this and as soon as their pursuers were left far enough behind, he dragged Jack down an alleyway where they crouched down behind some trash bins to talk.

"What are y-?" Jack began but was cut off by a cold glare from Will. Jack glanced towards the rum carts and then back to Will's icy stare. "Would I help if I told you that I wasn't originally planning on stealing them?" he grinned guiltily.

"But you did!" Cried Will exasperatedly, "And you've dragged me into your mess! He royal navy is searching for us! They know who I am!" Will looked somewhere in between bursting into tears and ripping Jack's head off.

"I'll take that as a no then?" Jack replied sarcastically, But when he saw the purplish-reddish color that Wills face was turning, he decided to get out of there fast. "Uhmm… How about you stay here with the carts, while I go and make sure the coast is clear eh? You got nothing to lose… 'Cept maybe me, if I get caught…" Will's face returned to its normal color at Jack's words, He smiled as if realizing for the first time that Jack could indeed be caught if he went out there.

"Alright then!" He smiled as they both stood up and Will pushed Jack towards the end of the alley. "Good luck Sparrow!" he called to him as loudly as he dared before crouching back down behind the bins to watch the show.

Jack strutted out into the square. That look in Will's eye had made him a touch nervous. Downright creepy it was! Good thing the whelp was one of he good guys; he wouldn't want him as an enemy.

He had made it to the middle of the square now and was about to turn around and head back to the hiding spot, when he heard a vaguely familiar voice shout from across the way.

'Oh... Bugger!' He thought. 'They've caught up.'
