Once they get out of the jail the three are quick to get to the docks, which is currently full with men with guns. "We're going to steal the ship?" Will asks as he looks at the ship, which is being load by the men, but Maria follows where Jack is looking and sees a ship already in the water.

"That ship." Maria says a bit too confidently for Will's liking, but it does earn a smirk from Jack.

"Commandeer. We're going to commandeer that ship. Nautical term." Jack says as he points to the ship that is being loaded. Maria gives Jack a confuse look, not understanding why he is commandeering the one at the dock when he has been looking at the other for a long time. "One question about your business or there's no use going." Jack says to Will. "This girl, how far are you will to go to save her?"

"I'd die for her." Maria raises an eyebrow, not believing that someone would actually be willing to die for someone they love, Will must truly love Elizabeth.

"Good. No worries then." Maria frown, but before she can say anything Jack grabs her hand and begins to lead her to the small boats that rest on the beach.

"What are we doing?" Maria whispers as he lifts the boat.

"You'll see, love." Jack whispers back before he climbs underneath the boat. He motions for them to follow after him, which they do, and he lowers the boat so that the soldiers won't see them. Once the soldiers leave the three stand up, holding the boat up and they walk to the water.

"This is never going to work." Maria murmurs as they pull the boat below the water's surface.

"Just watch, love." Jack smiles at her, from where she stands before him. "Just watch." They sink below the water and begin to walk along the bottom of the water.

"This is either madness or brilliance." Will speaks up as Maria walks in shock of the fact that this is working.

"I told you, love." Jack smiles as he whispers in her ear, shivers running down her back. "It's remarkable how often those two traits coincide." Jack says to Will.

The three walk closer and closer to where the ship is before they throw off the tiny boat and begin climbing the large ship's wall. Maria loses her footing causing Jack to quickly grab her waist, keeping her from falling to the water. "Easy there, love. Take it slow." His hand lays under her shirt on her waist, the warmth from his hand sending goosebumps all over her.

"Sorry." She whispers, but Jack just pulls her closer to him.

"Just stay close." They begin to climb again, this time Jack keeps an eye on Maria, and the two finally reach the top with Will and climb over.

The three make their way down the steps and to the main deck where the crew is located. "Everyone stay calm! We're taking over the ship." Jack yells as they walk together down to the crew.

"Aye! Avast!" Both Jack and Maria turn upon hearing Will's words.

"Is it too late to say we don't know him?" Maria asks as the crew laugh at them.

"This ship cannot be crewed by two men, nor with a woman. You'll never make it out of the bay." Maria glares at the man as he says this.

"Son, I'm Captain Jack Sparrow." He says with a grin. He puts his gun in front of the man's face and cocks it. "Savvy?" Maria smiles as the crew get into a small boat and leaves.

"Now what, Jack?" Maria asks. "He is right about us not being able to get this out of the bay. It can't be done with just us three."

"Just you wait." Jack smiles at her. "This is all apart of the plan."

Once he says that the three try to get the ship going, but Will can't seem to figure out how to work the sails. "Jack, I really think this isn't going to work." Maria tells him as he tries desperately to make Will understand how to do it.

"It will work. Just watch." Jack says, causing her to sigh.

"Whatever you say." She sits down on the railing and watches their struggles.

"Here they come." Will says as he runs over to where Jack stood behind the wheel.

"Wait that's a good thing?" Maria asks as she sees the other ship heading their way.

"Yes, love, it's a very good thing." Jack walks over to her, putting his hands on her thighs, and pulls her to him. Will looks away, feeling uncomfortable about their close position, while Maria stares at Jack with surprise. "It's time we get going." He pulls Maria even closer before lowering her to the ground.

"R-right." Maria says nervously. The ship pulls up next to them and the crew begin to come over, looking for all of them, while Jack wraps an arm around Maria's waist and swinging onto the other boat, Will behind them.

"This is where we take our sail." Jack smiles as he lets her go and heads over to the wheel, while Will cuts every ropes and push off every plank before setting sail. The men try to jump over, but the ship is already too far for them to get on. "Thank you, Commodore, for getting us ready to make our way!" Jack calls as he waves his hat at the man. "We'd have had a hard time by ourselves."

Maria smiles and looks at Jack. They fire the guns, but never hit any of them. "Not as bad as I thought it'd be." Jack smiles at her.

"I told you, love, never doubt."

"When I was a lad living in England my mother raised me by herself. After she died, I came here, looking for my father." Will tells them as he sharpens his sword. Maria sat on the railing once more and watches as the sailed.

"Is that so?" Jack asks as he walks over to Maria.

"My father, Bill Turner? It only after you learned my name did you agree to help." Jack stands before the wheel as Will heads up to them. "Since that's what I wanted, I didn't press the matter. I'm not a simpleton. You knew my father.

Jack sighs and stands up from tightening the rope and turns to Will. "I knew him. Probably one of the few who knew him as William Turner." Jack admits to him. "Everyone else just called him 'bootstrap' or 'bootstrap Bill'."

"Bootstrap?" Will questions as Jack goes back behind the wheel.

"Good man. Good pirate. I swear, you look just like him." Maria looks over at the two men startled.

"It's not true. He was a merchant sailor. A respectable man who obeyed by the law." Will argues.

"He was a bloody pirate, a scallywag." Jack barks back.

"My father was not a pirate." Will pulls out his sword, causing Maria to jump up.

"Will!"

"Put it away, son. It's not worth you getting beat again." Jack says as Maria steps forward.

"You ignored the rules of engagement. In a fair fight, I'd kill you." Will argues back.

"That's not much incentive for me to fight fair, is it?" Jack asks. With that Jack turns the wheel, causing the sail to move and knock Will right off the boat.

"Jack!" Maria gasps, going to help Will, but Jack wraps his arms around her slim frame and holds her against his chest.

"No, you are staying here." Jack whispers in her ear. "Now as long as you are just hanging here, pay attention." Jack speaks out to Will as he continues holding Maria to him. She doesn't struggle from him, but simply stays still in his arms. "The only rules that matter here are these: what a man can and what a man can't do. For instance you can accept your father was a pirate and a good man, or you can't, but pirate is in your blood, so you'll have to square with that someday." Jack tells him as he keeps one hand on Maria, while the other grabs some rum. "Me, for example, I can let you drown, but I can't bring this ship into Tortuga all by onesies, savvy?"

"Hey-" Maria starts, but Jack squeezes her hip, causing her to jump in surprise and fall silent.

"So," Jack continues before bringing Will back onto the ship. "Can you sail under the command of a pirate?" Jack asks as he points the blade of the sword at Will. "Or can you not?" He flips the handle to Will.

"Tortuga?" Will asks as he takes the blade.

"Tortuga." Jack smiles as he pulls Maria closer to him. "Tortuga."
