::CHAPTER TWO::
Listening With Deaf Ears
Riley and Kat stood, completely dumbfounded and a little scared as the man came toward them. When he reached for the hat on Riley's head, she gave an aggravated shout. She ducked under his arm and jumped behind him, her hands firmly holding the leather hat.
The man looked a bit startled and then turned around. When he did, the candlelight illuminated his face. He was the spitting image of Jack Sparrow. Johnny Depp was standing there, in front of her! In the flesh! The black dreadlocks and the sparkling ocean eyes and that drunken act, all there!
Still, just because he was Johnny Depp, didn't mean he was gonna get his hat back. Riley took a quick step back, cornering herself in another wall. When the man stepped forward, his mouth spread into a devilish smile.
"Now don't be frightened, missy. I just be wantin' me hat and sword back. Not the smartest thing to do, stealing a pirates hat and sword, now is it, luv?"
"Well, I'm not one to be known for making the smartest of decisions." She said, passing a wink to Johnny. Then, Riley frowned when she heard Kat snort behind Johnny.
"You got that right, Riley."
"Be that your name? That sounds like a boy's name and you, my dear, are no boy." Johnny leaned forward and smiled. "Now, 'bout me hat."
"Oh, I think I'll hold onto it for a bit longer, mister Sparrow!" Riley laughed as she ducked around Johnny and ran up the stairs she knew would somehow lead upstairs.
Johnny just swaggered around in a circle and looked at Kat who gasped at first and then smiled. She ran forward and grabbed the piece of paper off the desk.
"Oh! Wow! Could I get your autograph, Johnny Depp? I mean, I know we may be in trouble for being on your set and all but it was a total mistake. We got lost, you see and—well, no, actually, Riley was the one who got lost and I just sort of got lost with her so uh, would you just sign this and I promise we'll never bother you again!"
"Sorry to disappoint you, luv, but I'm cap'n Jack Sparrow not this Depp person you'ra talkin' about." The man then turned to the other men at the table. "Alright, we've had our fun now you dogs get back to work!"
The mannequin's all stood up one by one and headed up the stairs where Riley herself had gone. Johnny grabbed one man and whispered something in hi s ear. The man nodded and walked up the stairs with the other men.
"Uh ... where are they going?" Kat asked, a little excited about meeting Johnny Depp ... who was acting like he really was Jack Sparrow. Someone had been in the sun too long, Kat thought. She watched as the older man turned around and grinned.
"On deck. Where else?"
"What do you mean?" Suddenly, there was a flurry of feet rushing down the stairs as Riley appeared, her face pale. Running right past Johnny, she grabbed Kat and dragged her over to a corner. "Riley, what is up with you?"
"Kat, I don't think we're on a set." Riley then stole a glance at Johnny, her eyebrows raised. "In fact, I don't even think we're in Disneyland and," Riley bent her head to Kat's ears, the sound of her voice dropping, "the thought of us not even being near the 20th Century is about to cross my mind."
"What are you talking about?" Kat whispered back.
"I'm talking about us not even being in the year 2004, Kat!" Riley hissed, her temper rising. She looked at Johnny, who very well could be Jack, and noticed he was trying to listen to what they were saying. She stood up straight and faced him. "Could we have some privacy here?"
"'Fraid not, missy. This be my ship you're on and I'll be knowin all that goes on around here so go on," he waved his wands at them. "By all means, keep talkin'. I won't listen."
"Yah, and I'm the queen of England." Kat said rolling her eyes.
"With a new dress and some fancy jewels, you could very well be the queen. You've certainly got a pretty enough face." Jack sat down, his usual arrogance coming over his face. He laughed when Kat's face turned red.
"Alright then, if we can continue?" Riley said, casting a glance at Kat who was now staring at the floor. She then leaned forward and whispered in Riley's ear.
"I still think Will's better!"
"Whatever, we're not discussing that at the moment," Riley said, her eyes meeting Kat's laughing eyes. "We'll have to do that when mister-elephant- ears isn't listening." Kat laughed at Johnny's confused face but let Riley continue. "So, who exactly do you think you are?"
"Luv, I'm Captain Jack Sparrow. The best pirate that ever sailed the Spanish Main!"
"Hey, that's Elizabeth's line!" Riley said to Kat who just shrugged. She turned back to Johnny. "Alright, Sparrow ... well, I don't really think I have any questions for you so um, where are we?"
"We're about to board at Tortuga in a couple days. There'll be enough fun for everyone, even a couple of young lasses such as yourselves." Jack grinned, his gold teeth glinting in the candlelight.
"I don't think Tortuga is the best place for us to go." Kat said knowing that Riley's temper was coming back.
The two girls didn't like the idea of going to a town filled with whores and the fact that they were about to deal with it first-hand didn't exactly fill them with warm fuzzies. They especially hated it when men only thought of women as sex machines.
"Now Kat, where's your sense of adventure? There's bound to be something fun that we could do, right?" Riley looked at her and grinned. Kat didn't like that look. It was hard to tell who looked more menacing. The man with the smirkish smile or the girl who had a dangerous knowing look in her eyes.
---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*--- *---*---*---*---
"So what did you think when you boarded the Black Pearl?" Jack said as soon as they entered his personal cabin. A single bed, large enough for four people, stood in the back under an open window. A table with maps and mugs of rum was set to the side and a small furnace was set on the other side. All in all, it was a very roomy little place. That is, except for the heavy smell of rum.
"This place needs some air-freshener!" Riley said, holding her hand to her nose. Jack just raised an eyebrow.
"You didn't answer my question, missy." He said as he sat down at the table. Grabbing a mug, he quickly drowned what was left in it down his throat.
"Waddya mean, boarding the Black Pearl? We came in through-" Riley asked, her head tilted to the left but she wasn't able to finish her sentence because Kat then grabbed her arm and smiled at Jack.
"Oh well, we thought it would be fun to be with the infamous Jack Sparrow!" Kat watched when a frown crossed Jack's face. "Oh, Captain Jack Sparrow, pardon."
"So, you ladies thought you'd grab some fun and excitement with good ol' Cap'n Jack?" Jack leaned forward, smiling again. "I must admit, I don't think any woman has gone far enough to actually board me ship for some nightly pleasure."
"Oh, as if!" Riley rolled her eyes and crossed her arms. Kat shoved her elbow in Riley's side.
"Try and go along with this, Riley!" Kat hissed quietly before turning her forced smile to Jack. It was obvious what Jack thought about all the time. "Actually, we just wanted to uh, ride with you until we, um, board at Port Royal. We would like to meet this Will Turner that we've heard so much about, now don't we, Riley?"
"What? Oh, yeah. Will Turner." Riley smiled a bit, remembering Kat's comment earlier. "I'm sure we could work for you to compensate, at least until we get to Tortuga. I'm sure we could ... find some money there."
"We will?" Kat looked at Riley, a little unsure about what her friend had said. The sneaky smile on Riley's face did little to comfort her but she did trust Riley so she didn't say anything more.
"We will, so what do you say, Sparrow?" Riley said, her hands bracing themselves on the table. Her body leaned on the table but her head was bent enough so that Jack could only see the outline of her eyes in the shadows. It was then that Kat noticed just how dark it was.
"Well now, I don't know. I see no profit in this for me." Jack tilted back in his chair, his smile widening as Riley's temper flared. He could even feel Kat's temper rise. Kat's whole face transformed from peaceful to completely enraged.
"Jack! Sometimes you can be so selfish!" Kat came forward and glared down at Jack. Even Riley was surprised by this outburst and by the looks of it, Jack was near terrified. "Do you think of no one but yourself? Can't you do something just out of the kindness of your freakin' heart?!"
"Uhh, if you put it that way, luv," Jack took another quick sip of rum and grinned. "Welcome aboard the Pearl, mates!"
"Now that we have that settled, can we have something to eat?" Riley asked, rubbing her stomach. Kat laughed, just before giving Jack another look.
"Sure, lets go down to the kitchen and find something." Kat followed Riley out, making sure that she gave Jack a knowing glance before exiting. When they got on the deck, Riley was the first one to rush to the helm.
"Hey, look at me! I'm Captain Jack Sparrow!" Riley swung the hat around in the air. Just then, the ship crashed against the wave. Riley clutched the helm and turned it sharply while trying to keep her balance. Kat felt her feet slide underneath her.
"Wo!" She shouted, grabbing the railing for support. She had just enough time to look up and watch as Riley's hands slipped off the wheel and head directly for the edge of the ship. "Riley!"
"Grab the girl, mates!" Jack shouted while running up the stairs. Of course, none of the men had ever gone near Jack's beloved 'steering wheel' so no one was up there.
Fortunately, Riley was able to react in time and clutch a rope dangling from above them. She wrapped it around her hand and stopped herself from falling over the edge. Her eyes stared down into the water, her own blue eyes widened.
Fast as lightening, she pushed herself away from the edge and ran down the steps. She had gone so fast that even Jack was surprised. He spun around and then slammed into the step railing. "Steady there, luv!" he said, before realizing that Riley was no longer there. "Where'd she go?"
"Well, since I was able to watch that speedy retreat," Kat said, a smile on her face. She turned her head and was met by a glare from Riley who was sitting in the middle of the ship, her arms crossed. "Now, Riley, don't tell me you're afraid of the water?" Kat came over and bent down on her knees in front of her friend.
"Not afraid of anything, Kat!" Riley scowled before closing her eyes. "I'm fine, just a little shaken is all."
"If you can't even stand a bit of water, luv," Jack walked up to them and leaned against the side-railing. "Then how do you expect to become a pirate?"
"Shove it, Sparrow!"
"What's to shove?" Tilting his head up a bit and to the side, he looked straight down at Riley. She felt as if he was still sizing her up, waiting for her response.
"Jack ... cap'n ... why don't you get some of your men to get us a room? I think Riley is just seasick—"
"Am not!"
"-and maybe she needs to rest awhile. I'm sure she'll get used to the water after a good night's sleep."
Jack nodded and then waved over one of the men. Kat noticed it was the same man who Jack had whispered to earlier. Connection?
"Gibbs, escort these fine young lasses to their new bunks below deck." Jack then paused, putting his finger to his lip. His dark eyes looked over at Riley. "On second thought," he grinned, a smirk resting on the side of his lip. "Take them to my cabin."
"Aye, Capn'."
"What?" Riley uncrossed her arms and was about to stand up when Kat put her hand firmly on Riley's knee.
"Don't get so worked up about it, Riley." Kat winked. "I'll take care of this." Riley raised an eyebrow. Sighing, she set herself back down and closed her mouth. Kat then looked up at Jack. "Thanks for giving us your room, Jack. It's really well, sweet of you. I feel sort of bad that you have to sleep below deck but since you're being such a gentleman, maybe we can cook you something as a reward, hmm?"
"Now hold on a bloomin minute, luv! I don't be thinkin—"
"Why Capt'n, you're not going back on your word, are you?"
The crew watched as Jack pondered for a second, realizing he had just caught himself in a word game. He had never mentioned that he would be sharing his room with the girls, just slyly implied it. Now, this new girl was saying that he wasn't and since he technically didn't say he would, saying no would be just going back on his word.
"Of course not, luv. I'll be givin you me room and you'll be cooking me meal. Sounds fair enough," Jack said the last part more to himself, as if trying to convince himself. "Gibbs, the ladies."
Riley stood up, a smile on her face. She nudged Kat in the side when they entered Jack's cabin again. Kat tried to act as if she hadn't done anything but she couldn't resist a smug smile when Riley jumped onto the large bed, Jack's leather hat still on her head.
