Chapter 14
Sending Off Will
By nightfall, the Pearl had reached her destination. And to add to the gloom of the ghostly ship in their sight was the heavy down-pouring of rain with flashes of lightning and claps of thunder.
"That's the Flying Dutchman?" Will asked Jack once they had dropped anchor several yards away. "She doesn't look like much."
"Neither do you," Jack retorted. "Don't underestimate her."
Will and Jack allowed a moment of silence settle as they continued to look at the wrecked ship.
"What's your plan?" Jack finally questioned Will.
"I row over, and search the ship until I find your bloody key," Will said a bit agitated.
"If there are crewmen?"
"I cut down anyone in my path," Will said flatly.
Jack grinned at this. "I like it. Simple and easy to remember."
"I bring you the key, you give me the compass."
"Yes, and if you do get captured, just say, 'Jack Sparrow sent me to settle his debt.' It might save your life."
Will took in this bit of knowledge as he climbed down to the wooden boat below.
"I can't believe you've sent him over there to do your bidding, Jack," Katrina said as she approached the pirate captain.
Jack gave her an innocent look, "Pirate."
Katrina shook her head as she continued to watch Will row his way to the other ship.
"Mr. Gibbs," Jack then said turning to his first mate, "Put out the light."
