The Political season 1986
Bridgett knew that it would be a matter of time before someone from Mark Norrington's campaign would be paying Jack a visit as he had won the governor primary. They didn't know about the film footage that was very damning and could derail Mark Norrington's bid for governor. Few people knew about it, only close family members and Milton George. Milton had heard that the film coverage of Jack and Elizabeth crashing the party and coming unto the stage had been deleted by the Norrington family before they sent copies of the party to the guests. Whether or not this film footage existed somewhere else was unknown.
"In 1977, Bill Norrington had died. Marjorie basically abandoned the property and by the time she died in 1981, the place was basically run down. Teens used the house to party and a few of the homeless used the house to sleep in during a few cold days in December and January. The house had broken windows and the hall where parties were held was trashed.
The property had been put on the market and was taken off in 1983. Now in 1986, the property was now on the market. It was on a prime piece of property but there were no buyers.
A middle aged woman in a tailored suit walked into the elementary school building and went to the school auditorium and sat in the back.
Jack had been at the school in a pirate costume talking about what it was like to be a pirate back in the 18th century. A group of kindergartners were listing intensely. The program had just ended.
A small child near the end of the program walked up to the woman and said that her father was a pirate."
The child, a girl who was about 5 years old looked like the spiting image of Marjorie Norrington in her facial features and high cheekbones. The woman took notice of this.
Jack had seen a woman come in and had kept an eye on her to a certain degree. She sat in back and didn't come up where the parents were.
"Daddy, the lady over there wants to talk with you."
"Ok Fran, Aunt Angelica is here, so stay with her."
Jack went into the office to a quiet room where they could talk.
"Do you know why I'm here?' asked the woman.
The woman was in her 50's and was dressed in a blue business dress for success suit.
"Tell me who you are? His attorney or perhaps someone working for his campaign. Or maybe you are from Edward Wilson's campaign but I seriously doubt that. Unlike Mark Norrington, Edward Wilson wouldn't stoop to that level.
"I'm here to offer you the Norrington Property for free." the woman said.
Jack looked surprised, then laughed in a bitter tone.
"In exchange for what? My silence?"
"We don't want any problems from you. That is all we ask."
"Mark Norrington has never contacted me nor has he shown any interest in me or my kids. He basically told my mother to get an abortion which she refused. He only wanted me because there was a possibility that his fiance couldn't have children. I know that she didn't want me in her house and wasn't thrilled about Mark trying to get custody of me. It would have been a miserable life for all if I had been forced to live with him and his future wife who hated me. I look just like my mom, my facial features and my mannerism. Look in my eyes and you see my mom. I can just imagine the fiancee seeing that woman, my mother as a reminder of the affair. I reminded her of her future husband's cheating before they were ever married. They had briefly broken up and then got back together. My mother wasn't some party girl who hooked up with Mark and deliberately got pregnant. I know that is what he said to his fiancee that my mother was a party girl who threw herself at him. The fiancee who was quite upset about him cheating on her. They broke up over it. His fiancee for whatever reason, physically couldn't have children, and this really bothered him. Well, he broke up with her after they came and visited me in the hospital and married a woman who could give him biological children. He wanted biological children, not adopted children. He has 5 children I believe. I was an afterthought after he had his kids. I wonder how his ex-fiancee felt after figuring this out."
The woman cringed when she heard some of the comments. Jack took notice.
"My mother was a virgin who was basically deflowered by Mark Norrington who knew that he would get away with doing such a thing. My mother was from a lower social-economic standing than him, Solid middle-class but still of a lower standing, something a lot of guys back in the day and still today, take advantage of as he could. If he did this to his fiancee or some high society lady, well, he will be finished. My mother's reputation took a hit and for a long time she was somewhat of a social outcast. He walked away with no lost of respect or reputation. It took a long time for my mother's reputation to recover.
Jack could see that what he said had made a impact on the woman.
"I have no interest in contacting him or having any type of relationship with him, so you don't have to worry about me telling a tabloid magazine or the press or going to Edward Wilson's campaign and telling them the story. . My life wouldn't be private and my children would be hounded by the press, something I don't want. This is the only reason that I haven't said anything. Not to protect me but to protect my family from the press who would hound us and pursue us to the ends of the earth."
The woman cringed as she listened to what Jack said. What he said had hit everything on the nail in a very raw way. He told notice of this.
"I can see that I've made you very uncomfortable but that is how I feel. Before I agree to anything, who are you?"
"My name is Mary Doodley. I'm an attorney for Mark Norrington."
"And you are also the ex-fiancee of Mark Norrington. "
A look of horror came over Mary's face.
"How did you know this?"
"Let's just say that I did some research because I knew that someone from Mark Norrington's campaign was going to send someone either to talk to me or my mom. He doesn't want his dirty little secret to come out which would derail his bid for governor."
The door slowly opened and Fran peered thru the door.
"A miniature Marjorie Norrington in looks. Thankfully not in personality. Well you know how bad she treated you. If anyone has any doubts that Mark Norrington is my biological father, just look at her. As far as I'm concerned, Vern Fields is my real father, the one who cared about me and looked after me. Mr. Norrington could care less about me. He only cares about winning the governorship. "
In about a month, Jack Sparrow was the owner of the Norrington Property which he paid $1.00 for.
