They were just about to swing across to the Flying Dutchman to talk to Will when Kyle said, "I'll go first so I can catch you on the other side." Kyle grabbed a hold of the rope and swung across, and then swung the rope back to Emma Lee.
Emma Lee caught it and stood up on the side of the ship and hesitated. Unknowingly, little Jack came up behind her until she had heard him giggle, "Jack, no!" Emma Lee shouted as Jack pushed her. Emma Lee screamed as she swung across. When she reached the other side, Kyle caught her and she let go. With her momentum, they both fell down.
Kyle whispered in her ear, "Like I said earlier, just when things get interesting…"
"Sorry," Emma Lee whispered back as she tried to get up.
"So you two are the ones who need my help," Will said.
"Yes, we need help getting to the Dead Man's Chest. Can you please help us?" Emma Lee asked.
"Why can't Jack help you?"
"He jumped into the Fountain of Youth."
"Ah, so how old is he now?"
"Two."
"So can you help us?" Kyle asked.
"Did you try his compass?"
"Yah, but we wanted each other more than the Dead Man's Chess," Emma Lee said as she hugged Kyle.
"That would be a problem. Well, I can't lead you there, but I can make sure you stay on course."
"Why can't you lead us there?"
"I'm busy."
"Well then, which way do we go?"
Will pointed to his left, "I'll come and see how you guys are doing everyday. I got to go."
Emma Lee and Kyle headed for the rope they swung across on. Kyle was going to swing across first again to catch Emma Lee, so he grabbed the rope first. He started to swing across and when he was about across, the rope snapped.
"Kyle !" Emma Lee screamed as she watched him hit the side of the ship and fall into the water. "Kyle!" she screamed again before she jumped in after him. When she reached the surface she shouted, "Kyle!" again. She frantically looked around for him. She saw him floating close by. "Kyle!" she shouted as she swam to him and lifted his head above the water. "Kyle, wake up!" she said as she lightly patted his check to wake him up. He didn't respond. "Oh God Kyle, wake up, please." She started to take him to shore and help him there. After some struggle she finally got him to shore. She saw that he was breathing, "Oh thank God," Emma Lee said with a sigh of relief. Kyle head was bleeding some so Emma Lee ripped off some of the bottom of her dress and wrapped it around his head.
"How's he doing?" Gibbs asked from beside her.
"Where were you when I was trying to get him to shore?"
"Can't swim."
"Why didn't you help when I got him to shallow water?"
"Takes time to get to ground without breaking a leg. So, how's he doing?"
"He's bleeding, can you please help me get him back on the ship?"

After some struggle, Kyle was back in Emma Lee's room. He was set on the bed and was covered with a blanket. She had a bowl of water and was carefully cleaning his head wound. After she got it clean, she bandaged him up again. She was just about to go dump the water out when Kyle started to stir, "Kyle?" Emma Lee said as she hurried to his side. Slowly, Kyle opened his eyes. Even though she was still dripping wet, she gave him a big hug. "Kyle! Oh thank God you're awake!"
