Chapter 11
In which noone knows what happens...
"Stand up. All of you." A severe voice announced the orders. Agnes didn't feel that she would be able to stand up right now. If they want to do something with him, they will have to force her to stand up. As she was thinking about this, suddenly a realisation dawned on her, and she turned her face around in disbelief.
"I told you. Stand up. We don't have much time." Daniel Hewitt was standing in front of her daugther, on his face the expression of determination. Agnes didn't know what she was doing, but she obeyed her father immediately.
"Dad, what are you doing here..."
"Don't have time to talk." He said and looked around in the mist. Jack stood up as well. Daniel stepped to him and took out something of his pocket-a key. He was fast and
ignored the surprise which conquered the two lovers face.
For a second Jack's eyes met the captains.
"You know that if they find you here you will get in front of the court." Jack said slowly, not moving, so that if the man wanted, he could put the chains back. But he didn't move.
"My father was a pirate. He did things which I truly don't endorse. But he was never ever like Grey. He didn't want us to be like him. He wanted us to do the right thing...you are a pirate...like my father, unlike my brother. Give up piracy...and I think that you can be a fine man. A fine sailor. A fine..."He looked at Agnes. " Someone who takes care of something very precious." As he said it, from the misty fog another ship moved slowly next to them. Some men were to be seen on the deck-rugged, old men. On of them stepped to the edge of the ship, and bobbed his head at the captain.
"Mr. Hewitt."
Daniel bobbed back and looked at Jack.
"Go on. Now."
But Jack was standing there, looking astonished by the sight of the ship.
"It's the...Nightingale.The ship of..."
"My father." Daniel said." These men were his friends. Now they helped me."
"Dad...thank you!"
Jack stepped closer to Agnes's father, and offered a hand. The man looked down on his hand, but then shook it.
"Ehm...Thank you. You are a fine man." Jack said as he looked at Agnes.He offered a hand for her, and she looked at Daniel, who nodded. Agnes wrapped her arms around him then looked at the man.
"I love you. Dad, why don't you come with us?"
"How would that look?I can't."
"But.."
"Go!"
Agnes just stood there, frozen. She didn't want to leave. She was madly in love with the love of her life, but there were things which she couldn't do. She looked at Jack.
"I can't go.My place is here...next to my father."
Jack looked at the woman she loved, and shook his head. Then looked at Daniel.
"Mr. Hewitt. I have a deal for you. You said I should take care of a precious thing. You want me to make her happy. But her happiness depends on you as well as me...You are -no offense-old enough to stop this...interesting job. Then you could have enough time to be with your daughter as much as you want.Parley?"
Daniel got a slight smile. Then nodded.
"It might happen." He looked at Agnes, gave her a farewell hug."Go then."
"The treasure is in the island just in front of you.Thank you... Say that I escaped!" Jack smiled at the man, then grabbed Agnes's waist. He got a hold on a rope hanging from the Nigthingale and gave a boyish grin to Daniel. They hit the deck of the other ship. The ship immediately moved away from the other.
-----------------------------------------
It was already dawning. The sun gave a beautfiul sight as it was bathing is purple, red and orange colours. But there were two humans on a deck of a ship who didn't care to take a look at the sun. They were busy with something else. Two humans, starting out a brand new life-an unusual life, without prisons, without piracy. With each other. And as their bodies melt into a wonderful kiss Agnes felt the sensation of a complex, wondrous, undescribable feeling- LOVE.
