Jack and James were sitting up in the crows nest. Will took control of steering since he was angered and enraged. Elizabeth thought it would be best for him to do something constructive. Jack and James had a bottle of rum and were staring out at a starlit sky.
"Jack, there is something I have been meaning to tell you."
Jack just looked over at James. He had no idea what could have the man so spooked…until….
"About Alex, I was his father's first mate. I was the one who gunned him down. He killed my mother right after Alex was born. My mother was the midwife to the Harris family."
Jack stood there and just soaked everything in then took a deep breath.
"That is how you came to be a merchant sailor and that is how you were so quick to take on a pirate like myself. You are just as much a pirate as I am sir."
James looked over at Jack, who had taken a sip of rum before turning and smiling. James and Jack had shared so much in so little time, James was able to trust the cunning pirate. Jack had every intention to use this information to get back Elizabeth and Will's daughter. He had no idea of what was going to happen when they arrived at Croc's Lair….
"LAND HO!"
Jack quickly broke concentration to slide down from the crows nest to notice the Sailing Sun had docked right where it needed to, and quickly took control of the wheel. He went ahead and was steering straight for the ship.
"What are you doing?"
Jack looked to see Will about freaking out when the front of the ship pointed to the rear of the other.
"Trust me; if we sink the ship, we draw out Harris and your little girl."
Will stood silent as Jack knew what he was doing.
