I could hear the armed search party as we dodged away from them, keeping out of sight in the town as we searched ourselves, for a way of getting rid of the chains. Hearing the search party behind us I grabbed a hold of Jack and pulled him into a doorway before we slipped inside the building, happily finding ourselves in a blacksmiths. "This could work," I smiled cheerfully as I headed over to the tool bench, ignoring the passed out blacksmith near the fire.

As I searched through the tools, not really finding anything that would serve my purpose without injury I turned to Jack whose manacle was glowing a hot red as he hit it with a sledge. One of the links shattered and I watched him dunk his hands in a bucket of water... blisters appearing on his wrists. "Yeah I'd rather not," I muttered to him with a frown before I caught sight of the cogs and wheels above head and the donkey used to move them. "That however..."

With a glance at Jack I moved to the donkey and poked it with the hot poker making it squeal and start around its paddock... the cogs above head started to move and I hopped up onto the fence, wrapping my chain around one of the cogs and hoping it would work. As the cogs joined up, my chain snapped and I dropped to my feet, my arms free of each other as I grinned slightly. "You couldn't have come up with that a bit sooner?" Jack grumbled at me as I walked over to him, taking his wrists in my hands gently, "This hurts, love."

"You could have waited until I came up with a plan," I told him simply before pressing a kiss to each of his saw wrists making him smirk slightly. However, with the sound of the latch on the door, Jack pulled me down behind some barrels for cover.

"Right where I left you," a deep voice commented as he soothed the donkey... he must have been talking about the fat man. With the sound of footsteps I waited quietly, "Not where I left you."

Suddenly aware of the empty space beside me I rolled my eyes and stepped out of my hiding space to see that Jack had a really good looking man at sword point."You're the ones they're hunting," the man commented as his gaze moved from Jack to me. "The Pirates."

I nodded as I stepped forward, a frown in place as I tried to figure out why he looked so familiar, "He looks familiar," I commented to Jack.

"That's true," he nodded, "Have we threatened you before?"

"I've made a point of avoiding familiarity with pirates," the man replied as I bit at my lip, my gaze dragging up and down him with barely any decorum.

"Ah, then it would be a shame to put a black mark on your record," Jack smirked before frowning when he noticed the look I was giving the man, "So if you'll excuse us..." He grabbed my arm and pulled me towards the door, only for a sword to appear in front of us. I smirked slightly at this turn of events and I placed a hand on Jack's arm before whispering to him.

"Do you want to handle this one or shall I?" I asked him quietly making him smirk and give me a look that blatantly meant 'I've got it'.

"Do you think this is wise, boy?" Jack asked him, "Crossing blades with a pirate?"

"You threatened Miss Swann," the man replied.

"Only a little," I countered as I stepped between the men, my body awfully close to his. His response was disappointing, he took a step away from me before taking his sword fighting stance. "Have it your way." I frowned at him before moving away from them so that Jack could attack.

I watched in slight boredom as the two men fought it out, and Jack nodded for me to follow him as he made a break for the door only for the other man to lock it with his blade. I sighed and turned to him, "That's a good trick," I commented to him, "Only... you're once again between us and our way out and this time you have no weapon."

With an apprehensive look in our direction he made a grab for a new sword making me frown and take a seat again as the fight commenced once more. I made a point of examining my nails, only looking up finally when I heard the familiar sound of a gun being cocked.

Jack was facing off with the man, pistol aimed directly between his eyes, "You cheated," the man accused.

"Pirate," Jack smirked making me smirk too before hopping off of the bench I was sat on and heading over.

"We done?" I asked them simply, "Good, now we'll be off." With that Jack and I took a step towards the door and the man side stepped so he was in our way again.

"Move away," Jack warned him.

"No," the man defiantly stayed where he was.

"Move!" Jack snapped.

"No," was the reply, "I cannot just step aside and let you escape."

I frowned and looked between the two, watching Jack hesitate to take the shot making me turn to the man, "This shot is not meant for you," I told the man simply as Jack's finger caressed the trigger. The man gave us a shocked look as I locked my gaze with his, but suddenly there was a sound of a bottle smashing and Jack slumped to the floor as someone caught me by my hair, once again.

"Damn hair," I snarled as the door smashed open and the Navy charged in, led by the Commodore who was grinning at me.

"Excellent work, Mister Brown," he commented, "You've aided in the capture of two very dangerous fugitives."

"Just doing my civic duty," the man holding my hair commented drunkenly.

"Yeah, by sleeping through all the excitement," I snarled at him, "If it wasn't for pretty boy over there we'd be long gone and you'd be none the wiser."

Mr Brown glared at me as the 'pretty boy' gave me a shocked look... I was once again chained up and the Commodore looked between me and an unconscious Jack. "I believe you will always remember this day as the day Captain Jack Sparrow and the infamous Isabelle Connolly, almost escaped."

"Oh hardy har har." I grumble at him as I was shoved out of the blacksmiths with a final glance over my shoulder at the young man who'd stopped us escaping, he was watching me with a look full of curiosity.
