Broken Sword (Chapter 18)
Crooks wasn't as much of a coward as Stray,but he still looked sared about the fact that Captain Jack Sparrow pulled his sword on him."Why would I tell yeh where she is?"he asked, trying to be brave.He knew that Jack couldn't kill him, but the fire in his dark eyes made it look like death was the least of his worries.
"Because I asked yeh, mate...Surely yeh'd be so kind to tell me"He answered, bringing his sword to his arm, slowly making a bone deep cut.Crooks screamed.
"Yeh can't kill me" he cried.
"No, I s'pose I can't, but I do 'ave a quite a few targets to keep cutting."He said with a content smirk.
"Torturing a fellow pirate is against the code!"he said desperetely, as Jack moved in to make an other cut, just bellow the first.He sceamed again.
"They are more actual guidelines...and besides...I learned this from Sword, though she went for the neck...yeh should be grateful..."Jack made an other cut.He didn't enjoy it any more than Sword did, but some things had to be done.He had know that he'd have to cause pain when he became a pirate.
Crooks sreamed some more. His arm was now hanging limply, blood pouring at a sickening rate to the floor.He recoiled when Jack moved in closer again."Now, mate, is that little lass really worth all this?" Jack asked softly, raising his sword again, but stopping at the shake of the man's head.
"I'll bloody tell yeh." he said, looking as if he was fighting back tears of pain."Though I don't exactly know either.All I know is that there is some kind of gate.The Shadow Gate.I learned 'bout it from a stranger in this bar.'E just comes, tellin' me 'at 'e knows I want Sora Starwind out o' the way, and tells me 'bout the Shadow Gate.All 'e told me, was that if I hide the ship among those rocks, and just jump down on the rocks, not leaving the same way, as I went in...see there is only one way out by the ocean, an' that's where the Shadow Gate is...then if the wench ever finds and tries to sail out 'er ship, she'd just disappear, an' never be able to come back."Crooks explained, his face screwed up from pain, "I was suspicious a' first, 'ow 'at man would know 'bout me business with Sword, but, as I found out, 'e was tellin' the truth."
Jack thought.He saw on Crook's face that was the truth, and all he knew."Yeh know anything 'bout that man who told yeh 'at?"
"No...'e was a foreigner...strange accent.'E looked very poor an' dirty.'E 'ad strange clothes, an' his eyes were narrow an' tilted.I looked if there was anything to steal from 'im, but 'e 'ad nothing but a ring, an' he looked like 'e'd kill for it.Say...it looked just like the one yeh 'ave, except it was gold instead o' silver."Crooks muttered, clutching the remains of his arm."So 'at's the ring o' 'ope.'Is was the ring o' despair.Useless to me."
Jack's eyes widened.He saw the pair of his ring on the stranger's other hand, that he stole his from.He wanted to take the other one too, but the man faded away before he could.And by Crooks' description, it was the same man.
That man had something against him.And by taking Sword away from him, he made him more voulnerable.He probably wanted the Ring of Hope back.
But he won't play along.He'd bring Sword back, from where ever she had gone, and keep his ring.
