It was early morning, around 4:30, when The Black Pearl docked at Malargo. Most of the inhabitants of the small island were sleeping. There was the occasional drunk that Jack could see stumbling around. Palm trees swayed as a cool breeze blew. "Home," Jack whispered.

Jack stood in the doorway to a small kitchen. "It is 4:30 in the bloody morning. What the hell are you doing up love?" Jack asked.

Annamaria turned around. She had been standing infront of a sink and an oversized shirt. "Jack," she whispered with a sigh of relief. She ran up to him and jumped onto him. She wrapped her legs around his waist and her arms around his neck. Jack's arms were around her waist.

"I love you," Annamaria whispered.

"I love you too, and I've missed you so much," Jack replied.

Jack and Annamaria passionately kissed, and right in the middle of doing so, they heard a small voice say "Yuck!" Jack and Annamaria looked down and saw their daughter Alyson.

Now Alyson was 6 years old. She had dark skin like her mother and jet-black hair. She also had dark brown eyes. One other thing her parents gave her was a deep love of adventure. Alyson loved traveling on The Black Pearl. Now, for more of the story.

Jack put Annamaria down and picked up Alyson.

"I missed you daddy," she said sleepily.

"I missed you too baby," Jack replied.

Annamaria smiled widely as did Alyson.

"Were you good for your mother while I was gone or were you a little demon?" Jack asked.

"I was good," Alyson replied.

"Wonderful," Jack said," Since you were good I might have brought something back for you from my trip."

Alyson's eyes widened. "Really?" she asked.

"Sure thing," Jack replied.

"Oh God Jack," Annamaria said rolling her eyes.

"You have to go back to sleep till later though savvy," Jack said.

Alyson squirmed out of Jack's arms and ran back to her room.

"I think she got the point," Jack said.

Annamaria smiled. "Sit down," she said.

Jack pulled out a chair at the small table in the kitchen.

"How was the trade really?" Annamaria asked.

"Oh God terrible," Jack said.

"Thought it would've been. I told you not to go to Freidle to trade Jack. Everyone there is a bloody lunatic!" Annamaria reminded him.

"I know, I know," Jack said.

There came a knock on the front door and Jack got up to answer it.

" 'Ello Gibbs," Jack said.

"Nice to see you too," Gibbs replied.

"Now I didn't say it was nice to see you all I said was hello, besides I saw you 15 minutes ago," Jack said, pointing out the obvious.

"Yes I know that Jack, it's just that we're kinda missing something," Gibbs said nervously.

"What the hell do you mean?" Jack asked.

"Member those 3 pounds of gold we stole when we swung by Lamitork on the way back from Freidle?" Gibbs asked.

"Yes," Jack slowly said.

"Well we're missing half a pound of it," Gibbs said.

"Holy great mother of Hell," Jack said.

"Nice one sir," Gibbs commented.

"Oh yes thank you," Jack said.

Just then Annamaria walked up beside Jack.

"Hello Gibbs," she said.

Gibbs smiled.

Annamaria noticed the mad expression on Jack's face.

"Something wouldn't be wrong would it?" she asked.

"No," Jack replied very fast and very nervous.

"Ok," Annamaria said. She walked back inside.

Jack grabbed hold of Gibbs's shirt collar and pulled him close to his face. "Find that lost gold or I will be a very pissed off man savvy," Jack whispered.

Gibbs shook his head yes.

"Good," Jack replied as he let go of Gibbs's collar. Jack walked back inside and gently closed the door.
